Graph data structure is used for the working of this extension. Any node in the working graph can have a job and children. Pressing a key while in a node traverses to the first of its children mapped with the pressed key. If no child was found for the pressed key the program exits, if found the job of the traversed node is executed.

There are three main nodes: scroll up node, scroll down node and the click mode node. Each and every node in the working graph has the main nodes as children to work recursively.

The job of scroll nodes is obvious. The job of click mode node is to first scan the DOM for elements ( selection criteria can be heavily customized by using the standard css selectors ) then filter the elements on visibility in the current viewport and then generate and append as its child, new graph whose leaf nodes have job to click on individual filtered elements and exit.

Most popular sites ( for example: facebook, reddit, twitter ) have default navigation words. SHIFT-/ (?) should be the default key stokes to show those bindings. J and K keys are the common ones for navigation and might collide.

Scrolling from this extension might not be needed if default navigation keys are available but if click mode key default: f also collides then definitely ...
