Keys for Safari lets users browse the web without reaching for a mouse or trackpad. It differs from other mouseless navigation extensions in that it attempts to render keys stylishly on the page to improve the user experience. Specifically, it generates floating gibberish sparingly and prefers to use text already on the page as a key.

Ratings and Reviews
Simple, nice
Straightforward and simple app that works great for those of us trying to transition away from using the mouse as much as possible. And the profits go to charity! What's not to like? Congratulations to the developer!
Developer Response ,
Glad you liked it! Thanks for the kind words!
Wow, Keys are useful, great-looking and a joy to use.
Unfortunately, I'm a spolied OS X — or macOS, as it's written today — user. We have too many fantasticx options. Fringe utilities and niche tools — there's a good chance there's at least one option out there that's virtually perfect.
In this case, I'm seeing a renaissance of most things VIM. Vimari, VIM-like for Safari… I don't mean top point those out (I like them!). Just examples. Certain there are many more out there.
Again, those are great choices for those we often call power users. But I didn't know Keys gave some of its profits to charity. That's awesome! (Thanks @Barbro666666 for enlightening me.)
And almost as important for me personally:Keys would be the only Safari extensions I'd feel comfortable recommending in its category. I couldn't stomach seeing friends and family stumble over Insert/Delete mode and other “legacy” stuff.
Keys is modern, practical, useful and good-looking. Those three are a rare mix and seldom seen together.
I'd go as far as saying that Keys is the only choice for “normal” computer users, when it comes rto extensions for Safari to navigate faster and more efficient ergonomically via the keyboard. The other VIM inspired tools are, again, fine. They are incredibly nice for a Mac junkie like me. But I think they might be distracting and perhaps too complicated for casual users. Those users would, however, become used to, perhhaps even dependent on, Keys in a copule of hours.
Five stars 👏 Thank you for doing great Mac utilities. Insanely great software, which almost makes me nostalgic. :)
