Is there anything better about this than vimium?
The most disappointing thing about using an extension for this is when I open dev tools or a tab fails to load. I love luakit because the browser itself lets you set up vim like commands. Unfortunately I had to give up trying to build it for macOS
- superasn 9y agoyes i agree with you about not being able to use it in dev tools is super annoying. the author did mention a workaround for it in the reddit thread but it never worked for me.
- foo101 9y agoVimium has been a very frustrating experience for me. The one thing where I always trip: - Press 't' to open a new tab. - Now I realize I want to go back to the previous tab. I press 'Escape'. Nothing happens. The focus is stuck in the address bar. I press 'J' and of course the 'J' gets typed into the address bar. How do I escape back to normal mode? I can't figure. With VimFx for Firefox, it works exactly as one would imagine. - Press 't' to open a new tab. - Now I realize I want to go back to the previous tab. Press 'Escape' to return to normal mode. Press 'J' to go back to the previous tab. If this is something that works fine in cVim, I am going to ditch Vimium in favor of cVim today!
- superasn 9y agoI tried pentadectyl for firefox and couldn't get it to work after 1 hour of messing around (some version issues). I'll try vimfx because I'm not too happy with cvim either mainly because it won't run on chrome:// pages which makes it necessary to use the mouse afterall.
