To select hyperlinks through keyboard

Rahulkr

Been a long time user of firefox and recently have started using Orion, and so far loving the browser.

In firefox there is an option to select links on a page by just clicking apostrophe key (') (next to semicolon key) and we were able to type a couple of letters relevant to the link and select the link to open it. It's a handy feature as it allows to navigate the browser without using mouse or trackpad which is much faster and responsive in my opinion.

Rahulkr How would users discover this?

Vlad No, the question is if we implemented this, how would users discover that this feature exists?

I'm sorry I didn't understand your respone. Can you please rephrase it

Rahulkr

Do you want a video on how that works in firefox?

User documentation: Providing documentation or user guides for your browser can help users learn about new features and how to use them. You can make these resources available on your website or through in-browser help menus or features section in Orion docs.

In-browser notifications: Displaying in-browser notifications or alerts when a new feature becomes available can help users discover and learn about the feature.

to clarify, its basically open the search bar, type ' then a few letters to find the URL, right?

No, lets say you did a google search in firefox by selecting url through CMD + L, then the search results come in you can navigate the page with space bar i.e., up and down and then if you find a link relevant to your search then just type (') apostrophe key and you get a search box for quick link (links only) type a few letters/words unique to the link and see if the particular link you want has been highlighted and then press enter.

It's pretty seamless and doesn't require mouse or trackpad to navigate the browser.
