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.

Thing is, I thought that this would add editing functionality to all text boxes and stuff, and it doesn't do that. For most thing that this defines, there are already keyboard shortcuts, you just have to find them.

Hi there. no chance you can make keybindings disabled on specified sites can you? For example, I use j/k on google reader but I'd love to use the "f" binding to activate link hint on it. Right now, I disable all keybindings for GReader altogether so to use j/k on it. Thanks!

Thank you for this! It is really valuable. Some suggestion: - add "." for repeated action (just like in vim). Useful when clicking on one buttom more times (e.g. ajax paging) - shortcuts did not work in new tab or source view (probably Google API did not support this, but it is quite annoying and non-intuitive) - what is "<a-f>"? I see it near "open multiple links" but didn't know what shortcut it represents.

Thanks for extension. Only one issue: on linux we can use Vimium only with US keyboard layout. That would be great to use extension regardless of the keyboard layout, like Key Binder.

This extension works like vimperator and pentadactyl for firefox, but it is much less "vim-like" and less bloated. I would like to clarify a few things though. This extension works by injecting a bunch of JavaScript into a page when it loads, and that's what makes the extension work. Some iFrames, especially those that run applets (like Flash, Java, or other plugin-specific content) almost always "steal focus" away from similar content, such as the JS injected by Vimium. That's what causes Vimium to "stop working". One possible solution to fix this would be to compile Vimium into Chrome, but that then it wouldn't be written in JS, nor would be an extension, just another set of features in Chrome

This is great! Could we get regular expression search though?
