Keyboard Shortcut for Navigating to a Text Field in Google Chrome


I am trying to use keyboard shortcuts more and more and have run across something I've not been able to figure out. If there is a text box on the page that I want to enter text into, how can I navigate to that field quickly without actually clicking on it with the mouse?



  • I know I can just start tabbing and eventually get to it

  • I've tried using Ctrl-F to find text near it and then tab to it


Any ideas?



Answer



Natively there's no keyboard shortcut to do this, so I fear there's no real solution for this.


What you could try is write a Sikuli script to look for text boxes and then make it mouse click in it.


However, this would only work if the textboxes are similar to the one you use in your script.
