In Superkey, all of the matches are highlighted yellow, and the selected one is highlighted green with a line to it from the text field. You can keep typing to narrow down the match, or you can navigate matches using the arrow keys (and optionally, cycle through them with the semicolon key, which is what I use). There's a screenshot at https://superkey.app.

For the Canon Cat, I'm actually not sure as I've only watched videos of this functionality there.

just downloaded Superkey and am trying it

how do I cycle using the arrow keys? currently using the arrow keys moves the cursor for the text in the search box

edit: tab seems to work. but sometimes Seek only works on one monitor (the one which has a window is selected), sometimes it finds results on both

Up and down arrow keys will cycle matches.

At the moment the Accessibility API results are limited to the frontmost window; it's on my todo list to expand this to additional windows and displays. Also, the green line will only be drawn on results on the main display - another item I plan on fixing.

(author) Next one in sequence. You can leap forwards or backwards. On the Cat, there is also a LOCAL LEAP for within the current document only.

Good to know, that's what I was expecting. I'll have to give the Cat a spin! Also, thanks for this article and the Jef Raskin one - I thoroughly enjoyed them and their depth. I was in the middle of reading the book version of folklore.org (Revolution in the Valley) and these were a pleasant surprise. I love both the history and thinking about different computing approaches like this.

Thanks for the kind word! They were fun to write.
