Overview

The Hacker's Browser. Vimium provides keyboard shortcuts for navigation and control in the spirit of Vim.

*NOTE* Google does not allow Vimium to run on this Chrome Web Store page and the Chrome New Tab page, by design. Sorry about that! *NOTE* Chrome has some alarmist messaging around the permissions that Vimium needs to run. Really all it's asking for is that Vimium's javascript be loaded into every page. Don't be alarmed. Vimium never talks to any servers and does absolutely nothing with your data. Read the open source code if you're curious. For more information about rebinding your keys and how to use many of Vimium's features, see here: https://github.com/philc/vimium/blob/master/README.md Modifier keys are specified as <c-x>, <m-x>, <a-x> for ctrl+x, meta+x, and alt+x respectively. Navigating the current page: ? show the help dialog for a list of all available keys h scroll left j scroll down k scroll up l scroll right gg scroll to top of the page G scroll to bottom of the page d scroll down half a page u scroll up half a page f open a link in the current tab F open a link in a new tab r reload gs view source i enter insert mode -- all commands will be ignored until you hit esc to exit yy copy the current url to the clipboard yf copy a link url to the clipboard gf cycle forward to the next frame Navigating to new pages: o Open URL, bookmark, or history entry O Open URL, bookmark, history entry in a new tab b Open bookmark B Open bookmark in a new tab Using find: / enter find mode -- type your search query and hit enter to search or esc to cancel n cycle forward to the next find match N cycle backward to the previous find match Navigating your history: H go back in history L go forward in history Manipulating tabs: J, gT go one tab left K, gt go one tab right g0 go to the first tab g$ go to the last tab t create tab x close current tab X restore closed tab (i.e. unwind the 'x' command) T search through your open tabs Additional advanced browsing commands: ]] Follow the link labeled 'next' or '>'. Helpful for browsing paginated sites. [[ Follow the link labeled 'previous' or '<'. Helpful for browsing paginated sites. <a-f> open multiple links in a new tab gi focus the first (or n-th) text input box on the page gu go up one level in the URL hierarchy Vimium supports command repetition so, for example, hitting '5t' will open 5 tabs in rapid succession. ESC (or <c-[>) will clear any partial commands in the queue and will also exit insert and find modes. Release notes, see: - https://github.com/philc/vimium/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md

Amazing extension, makes it so much easier to navigate the web efficiently. One little piece of feedback: It seems that "f" will open links in new tabs while "F" opens them in the current tab, but "?" menu says the opposites. Otherwise, really great tool. EDIT: I realized that this bug isn't entirely true. This bug occurs specifically if you select "F" and the type the link selection keys in capital. Whereas, if you select "f" and type the link selection keys in lowercase it will behave as e... Show more

please fix hints for drive.google.com, it doesnot show any hints to select folders rather shows accebility keys to select three dots. that's not very productive considering you cannot select folder and open it with those three dot menus.

I love this program and its derivatives. The basic key-maps really speed up my workflow. The app is a little rough around the edges with new tabs tho. New tabs aren't able to be modified and I would love an extension that changes the new tab to a html page in order to fix this.
