some of the most touching reviews we've had have been from people who for whatever reason can't use mice due to physical disabilities. always happy to hear from people like that if there are things we can improve. (people who just

there's now a proposal for it https://github.com/w3c/webextensions/pull/1019/changes so it will probably appear eventually.

For websites stealing keys from Firefox, Tridactyl has some terribly named settings called `leavegithubalone` and `leavegithubalonekeys` If `leavegithubalone` is set to false (the default) and a website can steal a `leavegithubalonekeys` ke

You might be interested to learn that Tridactyl and Firenvim use the same library to manage getting and setting text across the various JS editors https://github.com/glacambre/editor-adapter/

FWIW I got some of the way through embedding a PDF viewer in Tridactyl [1] so that the keys would still work there, but I backed off because I was a bit scared by how frequently pdf.js gets updated. In Tridactyl it'd get updated about

You can patch Firefox (no rebuild required) to not reserve keys if you'd rather. Discussion here [1] and convenient AUR script here [2]. [1]: https://github.com/glacambre/firefox-patches/issues/1 [2]: h

You can almost totally disable Tridactyl on a domain with `:seturl [URL] superignore true` now for what it's worth. `:blacklistadd [URL]` remains a much better option for most people for most sites because it lets you easily re-enable

It works sometimes on GitHub, it's just a bit extra as you said. GitHub is what annoyed me enough to make the feature in the first place. It used to work reliably but they made it worse :(

FWIW, the / search isn't part of Tridactyl but we do inject some code that frees up / from most websites so Firefox can use it. It's possible to write your own user script to do it (you just need to add a keypress event

You can let extensions run on Mozilla domains by tweaking some settings in about:config [1]. Mozilla believes that it creates a security risk and that you shouldn't do it. [1]: https://www.ghacks.net/2017/10/2

Mozilla said they were happy to do that five years ago if we wrote the API. We started work on it here [1] but lost interest because there have always been more urgent things to do (and for me, the ctrl+comma escape hatch that gets you back

Tridactyl does let filter links like that with `:set hintfiltermode vimperator` and `:set hintchars 1234567890`. Vim Vixen unfortunately has been unmaintained since May [1]. If anyone knows ueokande personally, could they let him know that

If you're sending untrusted strings to the native messenger, it would be best to escape them with shellescape - https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl/blob/f2479c64761358c6... Otherwise a malicious websi

What do you miss about native scrolling? IMO the scrolling in Tridactyl is better than native as it can work even when the page has put focus somewhere daft (like a pop-up).

About five years ago we had agreement in principle with Mozilla to extend the web extension API to accept keypresses from anywhere, provided that someone did the work to write that API. We started it [1] but lost interest because we think T

If you have Tridactyl's native messenger installed you can launch an external text editor with Ctrl+I when inside a text box. There is also Firenvim which embeds real neovim instances inside text boxes.

FWIW in Tridactyl we literally just yesterday merged a PR [1] that lets you use an arbitrary layout (QWERTY by default) for Tridactyl binds while keeping your real layout for everything else like text input. It will turn up in the next beta

For what it's worth, manifest V3 could effect Tridactyl as it could block code that is evaluated at runtime from accessing the browser APIs. It will make it less programmable by the end user.

You might be able to fix the ctrl-f thing in Tridactyl with `:help blacklistkeys`, although I'm not sure it will catch keys with modifiers. Follow https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl/issues/2712 if yo

Where would you like to see Tridactyl use more JS? We already have `:js` and `:jsb` along with a few commands that accept JS callbacks :)

In Manchester in the UK there was one in 2019: an old railway line which has been converted into a bike path, the Fallowfield loop. Groups of teenagers were attacking cyclists with hammers and logs. I believe that the police woke up to it a

You can get Google Camera to work on lots of other phones with a bit of effort: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/ I'm using it on my Poco F1 and the night sight works really well.
