Ctrl-p and Ctrl-n for Google

I was recently thrilled to feel that Ctrl-p and Ctrl-n are so much handier than ↑ and ↓, and these two shortcuts apply to many cases, even the console of Inspect tool in Chrome.

But why doesn’t Google support them in its search box? Before Google officially supports them(I hope they would), I added Ctrl-p and Ctrl-n to search box with Surfingkeys.

Below is the snippet for that, you need save it in your SurfingKeys’ setting.

if (window.origin === "https://www.google.com") {
    function cycleGoogleSuggestions(forward) {
        var suggestions = document.querySelectorAll("ul>li.sbct");
        var selected = document.querySelector("ul>li.sbct.sbhl");
        var next;
        if (selected) {
            selected.classList.remove("sbhl");
            var next = Array.from(suggestions).indexOf(selected) + (forward ? 1 : -1);
            if (next === suggestions.length || next === -1) {
                next = {innerText: window.userInput};
            } else {
                next = suggestions[next];
                next.classList.add("sbhl");
            }
        } else {
            window.userInput = document.querySelector("input.gsfi").value;
            next = forward ? suggestions[0] : suggestions[suggestions.length - 1];
            next.classList.add("sbhl");
        }
        document.querySelector("input.gsfi").value = next.innerText;
    }
    imapkey('<Ctrl-p>', 'cycle google suggestions', function () {
        cycleGoogleSuggestions(false);
    });
    imapkey('<Ctrl-n>', 'cycle google suggestions', function () {
        cycleGoogleSuggestions(true);
    });
}

Please refer to Brook Build of Chromium, if you’d like to use Ctrl-N as ↓ and Ctrl-P as ↑ everywhere.
