Overview

Product summary

Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.

*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 , , for ctrl+x, meta+x, and alt+x respectively.

Great extension :) please make it work on the gmail and the chrome web store pages too. Then it would be indispensable.

What it does, it does great. I do wish there were more features though. Most importantly: mouseless bookmarks management! Currently, the "o" key opens a dialogue for browsing, bookmarks, and history... which is useless. "o" should ONLY show browsing options (such as autocomplete), and another key ("b" possibly?) should open a bookmarks dialogue so that one can easily navigate bookmarks. Other than lack of features, it works great. I hope future releases can incorporate even more vim-like commands and tools for true mouseless browsing. **edit:** a day after posting this review, the 'b' bookmarks feature was added. + one star for the developer!

the old B button function returned but t changed from a new tab with the homepage to a new default tab. I would really like the option to at least remap buttons like t to their old function.

Extremely useful and regularly updated and improved, I use this constantly. Really like this extension, especially now the b function has been restored :) Thanks Ilya! It would be very nice to be able to scroll through *all* matches to the o and b commands; currently you only get the first 10 - keeping my fingers crossed for the next update.

Been using this for quite a while and it's been great. Almost never have to touch the mouse when surfing. But you must bring back the 'b' key for bookmarks. Calling javascript bookmarks like "Read later on Instapaper" or "Save to delicious" etc. don't work anymore. It searches for the snippet code on Google with the 'o' key, which is less than helpful. EDIT: The 'o'-Javascript-issue has been fixed in version 1.3.5

This is an amazing plugin, it really changed the way I use chrome although the latest version changed `b` key mapping, and is now using `o` which searches history google and bookmarks, which I don't find as efficient I may be using it wrong (trying to use it as I used to use `b`) any tips would be helpful. If there was one update I'd bring the old `b` mapping back just for bookmark searching. EDIT: `b` is back! :) Best plugin for chrome! Hands down.

Great idea. I am familiar with vim navigation and this extension replicates it perfectly. I love how intuitive it is, especially the `gt` part <3
