Safari 12 blocks the extension.
Trying to install it in Safari 12 does not work anymore. It says it's not supported, and that I can get extensions from the App Store or from the Apple Website.
Are there workarounds? Or plans to make it supported? Can't live without it! 🙁
Edit: Here is a workaround, but it might only be temporary.
Would love to have this work again. BTW the workaround mentioned doesn't work for me because I can't find the extension in the Safari extensions folder. It is also quite convoluted and, as you suggested, possibly temporary.
I’m going to need to publish it in the App Store. I’ve got a build that runs in Mojave but it needs a little bit more work.
Having it in the App Store would be awesome - looking forward to that!
I'll summarize the steps for the workaround here:
- Download the extension with the terminal command
wget http://dbergey.github.com/Type-To-Navigate/typetonavigate.safariextz - Extract that extension with
xar -xf typetonavigate.safariextz - Go to Safari settings -> Advanced -> check box "Show Develop menu ..."
- Go to the Developer menu -> "Show Extension Builder"
- Click the "+" in the lower left and on "Add extension"
- Select the extracted folder
typetonavigate.safariextension - Click "Run"
- It should work on new / reloaded pages
- It might stop running if you restart/update Safari. If so you need to repeat from step 4
Thanks for the write up!
A version will indeed be coming to the App Store; I’ve been testing it on my computer. Thanks for being patient!

I just fixed the last big bug in the new version last night. I’ll probably release in the App Store after the new year (heads up; it may be a few dollars since I have to pay for an Apple dev account).

Awesome, thanks! I will happily throw you more than a couple bucks especially if it will help you justify more development.
I have some App Store assets together but the extension is still a little bit buggy. (I wish Testflight worked for Mac apps.) I will try to get something up on the App Store soon.
This is literally the only thing keeping me from abandoning Chrome and coming back home to Safari. How can I help?
If anyone knows how to get the workaround to work in Safari 13, please let me know! Hope this will be on the App Store soon! 😢
@birnstiel FWIW, I've been using type-ahead-find for Chrome—and it's pretty good. But, yeah..Chrome.
Is this still being developed? I saw that there is a keys extension for Safari that is similar, but I'd love to have both the search and link opening capability of type-to-navigate.
