Vokto adds a small search box to every website. You open it, type a few letters, and press Enter. It finds links on the page, your open tabs, your history and bookmarks, and more than a hundred actions, all without the mouse.

Open the palette

Press ⌘ Cmd Shift K on a Mac, or Ctrl Shift K on Windows and Linux. You can also click the Vokto icon in the toolbar.

Prefer another shortcut? Chrome owns extension shortcuts, so you change it at chrome://extensions/shortcuts. The Settings page shows your current one and links straight there.

Find something and run it

Start typing. Results update with every letter.
Move through them with ↑ and ↓.
Press Enter to open or run the highlighted result.

Many results have more than one action. Press ⌥ Option Enter (Alt Enter on Windows and Linux) to see them, such as opening a page in a new tab or copying its link.

Hold ⌥ Option or Alt and each visible row shows a number. Press one from 1 to 8 to run that row directly.

Back out with Esc

Esc steps back one level at a time. It leaves a submenu, then clears what you typed, then leaves a narrowed search like t:, and finally closes the palette.

Pressing the shortcut again works differently. It only hides the palette, so the next time you open it, your search is still there. Use it to glance at the page before you pick a result.

Narrow the search

Some words with a colon after them limit the search to one kind of thing. Type t: to search only your open tabs, h: for history or b: for bookmarks. When the palette is empty, a row of buttons under the search box does the same for the most common ones. Press Tab to reach them.

Keyboard shortcuts lists all of them.

It learns as you go

Vokto notices which commands you use and brings them closer to the top. It also remembers what you pick for a given search. Type work, choose the same tab twice, and that tab comes first for work from then on.

All of this stays in your browser. Vokto has no servers and no account, so your searches and habits never leave your computer. The privacy policy has the details.

Where it doesn’t open

Chrome doesn’t let extensions run on its own pages, like chrome://settings, on the Chrome Web Store, or in its built-in PDF viewer. On those pages, the shortcut opens Vokto’s Settings instead, so you’re never left wondering whether it worked.

Vokto works in Chrome, and also in Edge, Brave and Opera.
