Remapping Chrome Navigation Keys with AutoHotkey

1. Just like on my other post with the Firefox navigation keys, I really don't like reaching for the Ctrl key when it's easier to use Alt+T for a new tab, etc. So here's my AHK script to fix the problem:

   #IfWinActive ahk_class Chrome_WindowImpl_0
   !k::Send ^k
   !l::Send ^{Tab}
   !h::Send ^+{Tab}
   !t::Send ^t
   !r::Send ^r
   !w::Send ^w
   Return
   #IfWinActive

   Makes Chrome so much easier to use for me, and also matches my Firefox keys.

2. That's awesome! I never thought of doing that before, and the best one is the Ctrl+K that starts a new search right away. Much easier to use.

   I would add another one to change Ctrl+D to something else so you can bookmark easily.

3. Did you know that Alt+F will open the Tools menu? Found that out by accident, pretty sweet.

4. Don't the keys conflict with other stuff though?
