I use vimium and I love it, but I actually still use the mouse for navigating page links.
Many of the websites we use these days are so link-heavy (or just not designed with keyboards in mind?) that pressing f, parsing the characters of the link I want, and then typing them, is still slower are at least more mental effort than using the mouse.
- dreamer7 5y agoTrue, this was my problem with vimium as well. The characters of the link would change even for relatively stable UI functionality like going fullscreen on Youtube. So, there was no muscle memory. Ironically, the only time i would remember i had vimium installed was when i would try to press f and then press a couple more characters while wondering why i installed the plugin in the first place.
- samatman 5y agoReally? That was my favourite part of using qutebrowser. I'm already looking at a link when I want to 'click' it, so bringing up the shortcuts puts the relevant one right in the center of my vision. I don't know if it was faster (I have the same question about vim!) but it was fast enough, and more satisfying. Then again, the point of my i3/qutebrowser/etc box was to be keyboard-centric, and I would use it with a "the mouse is lava" philosophy. I should really stand that box up again; too much macOS is bad for the soul...
- lucas_codes 5y agoIt is certainly more satisfying, I'll give you that!
