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.

This extension is quite well done. I really like being able to navigate the web without moving my hands off of the home keys. j,k,d,u are a little useful because my hands are more comfortable on the keyboard then on the arrow keys. The real magic comes in at going to urls (like using f or ]]) and being able to close tabs with an x

my second favorite extension (after adblock plus). the only problem is that it has some stability issues

I'm not sure why I didn't think to look for this before, but now that I've found Vimium it'll be the second thing I install on any system... Chrome -> Vimium -> Vim (If I'm unfortunate enough to be on Windows). Extremely well thought out, and getting better each release. Excellent job!

Love it! But I have a suggestion wrt to link hinting! Can you make it somehow set link priority and use single letters for high priority links. What i mean is highest priority is visited links (or links which are clicked often). Then font size, like on reddit the news stories are bigger font than other links, so it will make it easy to give more priority to links in bigger fonts, etc

Yet to come across an extension more useful than this. I just installed it in the morning and wow I'm totally blow away by how useful this is! Kudos on such great work! p.s. how difficult is it to add a Google search popup (similar to the bookmark find popup)? It would be really useful if we can do inline google search (pref in a new tab) similar to the bookmark search of vimium.

I love you for making this. I don't think I can live without it now.

This extension is absolutely necessary for anyone suffering from RSI due to too much mouse use in a GUI environment. Excellent extension. I don't see how I can browse the web without it.

Works really well. But it would be a great if it had a way to disable it and enable it again on a site.

Nice extension! Would love it if there was a binding to duplicate the current tab, though.
