Show HN: I made a Chrome extension to scroll pages without the mouse

https:&#x2F;&#x2F;chrome.google.com&#x2F;webstore&#x2F;detail&#x2F;focustoscroll&#x2F;jbcpolobfciagbjpodgfpgnifdmcbhgg&#x2F;<p>I like to use the keyboard and avoid touching the mouse whenever possible. One challenging situation is when I&#x27;m on a web page that has multiple scrollable elements, like my Facebook feed. When I press up or down in that situation, Chrome scrolls the entire page rather than the specific element I want to scroll. I can scroll that element by hovering over it with the mouse and using the scrollwheel, but I would like to avoid touching the mouse.<p>The FocusToScroll extension allows focusing on scrollable elements in the page using the keyboard. Use Ctrl-Alt-S to cycle through scrollable elements. Then press the up and down arrows to scroll (or right and left if you caught a rare horizontal scrolling element.)<p>I&#x27;ll be happy to know what you think about it!
