I love these papers. I have been on a similar path on macOS. Concerning Vimium, there is the Vimium C version that seems to be a bit faster. On macOS there is a similar software (don’t remember its name) to use a Vimium like feature on your whole desktop.

You may be thinking of [Homerow](https://www.homerow.app/ https://www.homerow.app/) for Macos. Its okay for popups that I used to need a mouse for. There's another app that does similar "Vimium for Desktop" but it wasn't as responsive and sometimes focus would get stuck, but I forgot that software's name.

  Oh nice, thanks for sharing this. I don't think it was homerow (or it has evolved a lot). I'll give this one a go to see if this helps me touch less my mouse

    You might be thinking of Shortcat. I've been using it for a while and it mostly works but doesn't seem as polished as Homerow. Going to give that one a try now. https://shortcat.app https://shortcat.app

Vimperator was even better, and allowed a very smooth operation of most Firefox without using the mouse. Sadly, it was killed by the transition to a new plugin API. Vimium and other current options lead to quite some friction, as Firefox disables plugins on many scenarios, such as a new empty page. Hence, you often find yourself in a situation where you have to think whether Vimium is active and you can use Vim-like shortcuts, or you need to fallback to the Firefox UI.

Tridactyl works around this by setting a global keybind ( Ctrl - , ) that either pulls focus back to itself or, if it's not allowed on that page, kicks you to a tab it can control

  Oh I saw it's name I think but I have never tried it.
