Summary

Wherever you may Roam, it is essential to have an efficient navigator. This browser extension adds a navigation mode to Roam which presents visual navigation hints, that can be typed in order to select the corresponding link, block, or button. It also adds topbar "breadcrumbs" which allow you to quickly navigate to recent pages.

By default, navigation mode will be active when no input is focused. It can also be initiated by pressing Alt+g, or just g when not editing text. Visual navigation hints will then appear, allowing you to select links, starred pages, and select blocks to edit.

Details

Navigation mode is similar to the generic link clicking feature found in extensions like Vimium or SurfingKeys, but it does the following things better for the Roam usecase:

  1. Uses stable key sequences for left sidebar and editing blocks in your page. Attempts to use stable key assignments for clicking links in your page.

    • Stable key sequences for your starred pages mean that you can navigate to them even when the sidebar is not visible!
