Netflix Keyboard Controller

*** Important *** This extension is broken no longer being actively maintained/developed. Before I got a TV with Netflix built in I was working on season/episode selection and a settings modal to toggle options on/off such as auto-skip, and mouse hide/auto full screen. Since I was in the middle of it and don't have time to complete this the current commit I was working from is pretty broken. I will clean up the source and post it on GitHub when I get some free time, but for now consider this extension dead and to be removed once I have cleaned up the source and put it up for anyone who wants to continue development. A simple extension that adds arrow key navigation to the Netflix web user interface. Mainly made for media center users who don't want to rely on their mouse for navigating through Netflix. I couldn't find anything that added this feature to Netflix, which worked for me, so I made this. This is a simple personal project. I hope people find it useful. Features: You can use the arrow keys to navigate! Automatically hide your inactive mouse. Auto-skips intro. Shortcut Keys: Shift + F to search for shows (from browse page, Escape cancels search) Shift + S to switch profiles (from browse page) Backspace to go back (from anywhere, will perform a browser back) Updates: 10/09/2021 -Updated description, This extension is deprecated, more info at top of description. 14/02/2021 -fixed not being able to navigate forward and backward in slider. Shouldn't jump to the top of the list when trying to navigate across now, I hope. 29 July 2020 -fixed a mistake caused select to stop working 28 July 2020 -added mouse hide feature, auto-hides when idle 02 June 2020 -fixed losing selector when going next and there are no available options there. -removed sound fade in/out on auto skip-intro (it was buggy so has been disabled) -pressing up on to go to first slider now scrolls it into centre instead of scrolling to top of page Some Notes: I couldn't get smooth-scroll working properly - it was scrolling to the wrong part of the screen when items were out of range and generally wasn't dependable, so it will probably remain as is going forward. When cancelling a search I had issues resetting the state of the search input, to avoid that it will just reload the browse page on cancel. Nice to have features that I can work on if the extension is popular and I have the time: Title information/trailers - right now there is no expanded information. My goal was to get something usable for keyboard navigation working ASAP. Expanding menus added extra complexity that would add to release time. Maybe a menu to switch it on/off for the current browser, or disable auto skip intro. Potential issues: I have only tested in English. Language other than English may have issues. Netflix revising its layout format/class names may break things. I use this extension so I will update if this happens.
