About Web Browsers Summary:

"TabsLock is an add-on that transforms your Caps Lock key into a Google Chrome 'launcher'. When running, TabsLock hijacks your Caps Lock key, configuring it to automatically open and put into focus a new tab in the Chrome browser. Don't worry, Caps Lock itself can still be toggled on and off with the addition of the Shift key. Probably the coolest thing about this simple yet effective add-on is that it still works when Chrome isn't running. In this case, it serves as a hotkey to quickly launch your Google browser with a fresh tab. TabsLock can also be set up to open Chrome with a custom command line."

Publisher's Description:

"TabsLock lets you use your Caps Lock key to launch and focus a new Google Chrome tab from anywhere, even if Chrome isn't running. This allows low-thought, global keyboard access to web search and navigation."
