VimFox

VimFox is a Mozilla Firefox extension that enables browsing using hints to select links using the keyboard instead of the mouse, and adds a set of well-known VIM key bindings.

It is a fork from vimium-firefox, by Valentin Dudouyt. The codebase is pretty much the same, I just added a couple of useful shortcuts and bugfixes.

In its actual state, VimFox is not intended for the public, but it's more like a version of vimium-firefox adjusted to my taste.

Shortcuts

• f - Follow link
• F - Follow link in new tab
• yf - Copy link
• yy - Copy current location
• Ctrl+[ - Blur from HTML or XUL control
• gg - Scroll to top
• G - Scroll to bottom
• h,j,k,l - Scroll left/up/down/right
• Ctrl+{d,u} - Scroll down/up by 20 lines
• Ctrl+{f,b} - Scroll down/up by one page

Building and Installing

Get the source code using Git:

git clone git@github.com:jgrande/vimfox.git

Build the XPI package

cd vimfox
./build.sh

Install the addon as usual from Firefox, choosing the XPI package that you just created.
