Built for repeated research
Use arrow keys when you are moving across result pages, forum listings, documentation indexes, or other paginated lists.
Search results use case
Keyboard pagination for search results in Chrome
Arrow Navigation helps you move to the previous or next search results page with the left and right arrow keys, so repeated research does not depend on reaching for the mouse.
- Left arrow for previous results
- Right arrow for next results
- Input fields stay untouched

Move through result pages without leaving the keyboard.
Why search results are a good fit
Search sessions often involve scanning one result page, going to the next page, then comparing pages again. Arrow Navigation turns that repeated pagination action into a small keyboard shortcut while leaving normal page scrolling and typing alone.
The extension first looks for known site patterns, then falls back to standard pagination links such as rel="next", rel="prev", and common previous or next labels.
Safe around search boxes
When focus is inside a search box or editable field, Arrow Navigation does not intercept the arrow keys.
What the extension checks
Arrow Navigation is designed to avoid broad page guessing. It prefers visible, page-specific pagination targets before using generic fallback labels.
Known search page rules
Dedicated rules can handle complex result pages where several links may look similar to a pagination control.
Standard pagination links
Pages that expose rel="next" and rel="prev" can be recognized without a custom site rule.
Common page labels
Generic previous and next text can cover simpler result pages, list pages, and archive pages.
Search results FAQ
Questions people usually ask before installing a keyboard pagination extension.
Can I use arrow keys to go to the next search results page in Chrome?
Yes. When Arrow Navigation finds a trusted next page target, the right arrow key can open it. The left arrow key can open the previous page target.
Will it affect typing in a search box?
No. Inputs, textareas, selects, and editable regions keep their normal arrow-key behavior.
Does it work only on search engines?
No. The same detection approach can also support forums, documentation indexes, reading pages, and other paginated lists.
What if my search site is not supported?
Use the extension popup to submit a site support request. The public request status can appear on the Arrow Navigation website.
