I am using this addon, but I'm having a hard time with it. I wish you could disable smooth scrolling when using "j" and "k"

  Not on a pc right now, but there may be an option for that? Not entirely sure.

    There's a checkbox to control smooth scrolling in about:preferences#advanced , but I just tried both options and didn't notice any difference, neither when using the touchpad nor with j/k in Vimium-FF.

      I have smooth scrolling disabled in about:prefs, which only disables it on my touchpad, not with vimium-ff

        I just found "Use smooth scrolling" under Vimium's advanced options. Might be this page: moz-extension://78ac0671-3b7c-4a05-8771-f46ecdb2b65c/pages/options.html#advancedOptions unless that random string is unique per-user and I just broadcast my password.

        When I copy this URL into the addressbar and hit Enter, it just disappears. Probably a security feature.

        That doesn't happen for me, I can access the Vimium options by copying the URl. Do you have the extension installed?

        Uhm, "Vimium" vor "Vimium-FF"?

        As I understand it, Vimium for Chrome and Vimium-FF share the same code base (https://github.com/philc/vimium https://github.com/philc/vimium), even the addon site for Vimium-FF just calls it "Vimium" (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/vimium-ff/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/vimium-ff/). So if it's in Firefox, it's Vimium-FF. (And I'm using Firefox, in case that wasn't clear.)

I switched to it yesterday from VimFX. Basic stuff works the same as in VimFX, but: - Yanking does not work at all. - "Follow in new tab" (F) does not work. (EDIT: Working now, so maybe I did something weird yesterday.) - "Open" (o) does not respect search keywords. "wikipedia Test" gives me a search for "wikipedia test" instead of the Wikipedia page for "test". - Most of the shortcuts don't work on a blank page, or on "about:" pages. For example, when I open a new tab with "t", then change my mind and press "[Esc]x", it doesn't work. Nor does any other letter command. I filed a bug for the first one, and it seems to be related to shortcomings in FF's clipboard API for WebExtensions, so I suppose that at least the last issue in my list is also related to what the browser allows WebExtensions to do. But at this point, I don't really care about filing more bug reports. I'm looking for alternatives instead. (Any suggestions?)
