Keyboard Navigation for Browser Extension

Yes, I would love this too. Too often, I try to navigate to the category list to confirm a category with the enter key.

Besides saving new links, it would be nice not to have to leave the keyboard to navigate to search results, too. Since you can invoke the extension with a keyboard shortcut and it automatically puts you in the search box of the mini app, TAB (or down arrow) should take you to the top search result where ENTER will visit the link. Currently, I have to hit TAB many times to get to the search results and down arrow does nothing.

This would be awesome. Even without the shortcut for invoking the extension just selecting with arrows + enter would save a lot of time and make it more intuitive. Right now every time you save (especially if you are filing away multiples of tabs) it's this 3 part mouse and keyboard flow:
- click the extension icon to invoke
- start typing to search for correct collection (thank you for auto-focusing the collection search)
- use mouse to select collection from search results: intuitively you think oh I just arrow down to the one I see in search results, but instead you have to break that user pattern and select via mouse instead. It's such a universal tech gesture that it's hard to fight muscle memory on this last step.
Edit:
I rediscovered that there is, in fact, a hotkey at least for the initial invoking of the extension, but unfortunately on macOS (and in Firefox) that keyboard shortcut conflicts with a browser-based one that overrides it.
