Find things
Links on the page
Jump to any link on the page by typing a few letters of it, or move around a site with Home, Up and Next Page.
Skip the menus: type l: in the palette.
Commands
- Link Hints
- Label the links, buttons and fields on screen, then type a label to click
- Home

- Next Page
- Go to the page after this one, when the site marks it
Links hide in menus, in footers and halfway down long articles. Instead of hunting for one with the mouse, type a few letters of what it says and press Enter.
Search the page’s links
Links on the page show up in the palette as soon as you start typing. Type
l: first to see nothing but links.
Vokto puts the likeliest ones first: links in the site’s navigation and main content, links you can see on screen right now, and links that stay on the same site. A link that appears twice on the page shows up once.
Click links with letters
Link Hints puts a short letter label on every link, button and field you can see. Type the letters and Vokto clicks it for you.
Your usual browser shortcuts keep working while the labels are up. Scrolling, resizing the window, clicking or switching away clears them, since they would no longer line up with their links.
Move around the site
Home takes you to the site’s home page. Up goes one level up in the
address, so on /docs/guide/intro it goes to /docs/guide. You won’t see
Up when you’re already at the top.
Previous Page and Next Page work on sites that tell the browser which page comes before or after this one.
Pick a part of the address
Type / and the current address breaks into its parts, from the deepest
one back to the site’s home. Type to narrow the list, then press
Enter to go there.
Phone numbers and email addresses
When you open the palette, Vokto looks for phone numbers, email addresses
and web addresses written as plain text and turns them into real links.
They join the rest of the page’s links, so l: finds them too. A phone
link starts a call, and an email link opens a new message.
Vokto is careful about what counts. Dates, ZIP codes and version numbers stay plain text, and it leaves existing links, form fields and code alone.
