- padthai 9y agoNot OP, but 99% of the time it is faster and it feels better. The only cases where I need the mouse are continuous interfaces (eg selecting an specific time in a video player) or restrictive and dumb webpage configurations (eg WhatsApp Web does noes not allow you to deselect the input box with the keyboard) I use VimFX and I would recommend it. It takes 2 min to learn.
- sleepychu 9y agoThis is exactly what I do!
- btschaegg 9y agoI've come to the same conclusions (I'm using Qutebrowser though). Interestingly, I found that my tolerance for the inefficient ways of most browser UIs now stands out to me as much as editors without Vim-bindings annoyed me after a couple of weeks. Once I got a hang of the controls, I started missing them everywhere else (unfortunately I can't choose my tools at work).
- wooster99 9y agoThere is a plugin for Firefox called Vimperator. I use it a lot.
- huahaiy 9y agoNot really. All browsers have extension to enable vim key binding, so you don't need a mouse to navigate the internet.
