Hello there,

vimperator add-on was just great. But now there is pentadactyl – a fork of vimperator with better (far better!) integration and stability. Works more with vim-style keys and it is lot easier and faster.

The Homepage: http://dactyl.sourceforge.net/pentadactyl/

The addon-page: https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/pentadactyl/

The section “Follow a Link” does not mention that you can either type this number or type part of the link text. Often it can be useful to combine these techniques to narrow down results with some letters, and then typing a single digit to make the match unique. In comparison to searching for links by eye and then by mouse, you can often follow links much more quicker.

[...] I was tempted to write this blog detailing the basics of how to use Vimperator but after a few google searches I realized there are many good blogs on this subject already. One in particular stood out of the crowd and I would encourage you to take a look: http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2009/05/firefox-add-on-vimperator-make-firefox-behave-like-vim/ [...]

Nice work. For consistency, if ‘g0′ takes you to the first tab, then ‘:tn 0′ should also take you to the first tab. You should use zero-based indexing for both ‘g’ and ‘tn’ commands.

I love it but I have the feeling that it slowers a bit FF.

Another great feature is quickmarks which is fast site key mapper; After setting the quickmark, I only need “gog” to go to gmail or “gor” to go to google reader. Instead of “go[a-z]” you can press “gn[a-z]” to go to quick mark [a-z] in another tab (“gt” was already taken).

And if you really like vim (or any other editor), you can always install the “It’s all text” extension and set your favourite $EDITOR to edit the multi-line text boxes as the one I writting the comment.
