I discovered tridactyl (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tridactyl-vim/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tridactyl-vim...) a couple months ago. While it doesn't have total parity with vimperator, it's much closer than vimium and vimFX, and unlike for those projects, parity seems to be the actual goal.
YMMV, but as someone who was stuck on ESR for a long time for this reason I am now completely satisfied on 57.
- cesnja 9y agoIt's decent, but there are some major shortcomings caused by the WebExtensions API. For example if you somehow get caught in address bar, you can only leave it by pressing Enter or reaching for the mouse and clicking somewhere else. Another inconvenient feature is the time it takes for the extension to be loaded. On bloated and slow pages, I have to wait for a second or two while pressing the shortcuts to switch to another tab or anything. Basically the whole extension-driven keyboard UI locks up waiting for the page to finally load. And this is not because these extensions are slow, but because they get initialized only some time after the webpage has already begun loading.
- bovine3dom 9y agoYeah, it's really annoying. I find that :reloadall helps my sanity a lot if I'm navigating through lots of already open tabs, and I've just about got used to using <C-Tab> rather than gT. We're trying to extend web-extensions to get around the limitations [1], but progress is slow. [1] https://github.com/cmcaine/keyboard-api https://github.com/cmcaine/keyboard-api
