Unfortunately I got addicted to pentadactyl after a couple of threads here. Which broke on 15 and made me go back from beta to stable.
I wonder what changed internally to lead to irc comments that in effect said 'it's a major undertaking to make pentadactyl work for this new version' and this commit: http://code.google.com/p/dactyl/source/detail?r=2557fa60103046ebfeaee1eb4f3e1377cdd6366f http://code.google.com/p/dactyl/source/detail?r=2557fa601030...
Really don't want to miss that addon anymore.
- jvm 14y agoThis made me switch back to Vimperator and I haven't looked back.
- w1ntermute 14y agoHow is Vimperator these days? Is it comparable to Pentadactyl? I remember switching because of some deficiency, but I don't remember exactly what.
- xyzzyb 14y agoIt is absolutely comparable to Pentadactyl. I switched from Chrome to pentadactyl and then to vimperator after getting fed up with all the bugs. http://www.wikivs.com/wiki/Pentadactyl_vs_Vimperator http://www.wikivs.com/wiki/Pentadactyl_vs_Vimperator
- danneu 14y agoI tried out Vimp because of this very thread and it's almost identical. Even the docs look the same. Which makes sense since Penta is a fork of Vimp. Worthwhile to spend the 30 seconds installing it, typing :mkv (to create the .vimperatorrc), and copying your .pentadactylrc into it. FF15 is feeling great and I'm glad I didn't call it quits at the lack of Pentadactyl. I'm used to FF eating a gig on my 2012 Macbook Air. Now it's sitting at less than half that for the same set of tabs.
- jvm 14y agoI switched to Pentadactyl because of passkeys, but now Vimperator has ignorekeys which I think might actually be even better.
- BCM43 14y agoThanks for the warning, I'll try not to upgrade.
