Warping On

I know I mostly talk about weaving but I have been busy and just noticed this.

Google has an experimental search that lets you use keyboard short cuts to navigate.

Key	Action
J	Selects the next result.
K	Selects the previous result.
O	Opens the selected result.
<Enter>	Opens the selected result.
/	Puts the cursor in the search box.
<Esc>	Removes the cursor from the search box.

These are they same keys used for a programming editor called VI or VIM (the new improved version of VI). What I find most interesting is that the arrow keys do not work only the letters. Maybe its just me but its easer to remember that the UP arrow is up not the letter J. I also could not get the <Esc> key to work it just kept my cursor in the search box but I am using FireFox on a Mac.

This is the first time I have seen a Goolge product that did not work in they way it was described. I guess I could cut them a break it does say “Experimental” search but its Google I expect more.
