Hey Jonathan
As it happens, the Chrome Alchemy plugin was one of the ones I was
messing around with.

I did not manage to run the Chrome Alchemy plug-in using the method
described above (alt -> left arrow -> locating Alchemy plugin
->pressing enter).
At least I did this, waited for a minute, and nothing happened.
I took a cursory look at the webpage after and saw no changes (in IE,
if you run the toolbar yu see a new skip link and a page region of
results).
