37 displays an overlay.
38 - Fixed: The statusbar now works again.
39 - Fixed: VimFx should now work with Nightly 70, by removing usage of the

41
42 Thanks to Tobias Girstmair (@girst)!
43
44 ### 0.21.0 (2019-05-15)
45
46 - Removed: The Developer Toolbar integration, such as the `:` shortcut. That
47 feature has been removed from Firefox and the integration was causing issues
48 on newer Firefox versions. Thanks to Tobias Girstmair (@girst)!
49 - Fixed: VimFx should now work on Waterfox again. Tested with Waterfox 56,
50 Firefox 56, Firefox 64 and Waterfox 68. Thanks to Tobias Girstmair (@girst)
51 and @matsuhav!
52
53 ### 0.20.15 (2018-08-06)
54
55 - Fixed: Find mode now works properly again. Thanks to @matsuhav!
56
57 ### 0.20.14 (2018-05-15)
58
59 - Fixed: VimFx should now work properly in Firefox 61 (if you have enabled
60 legacy extensions) as well as older versions of Firefox. The latest few
61 versions have been a bit buggy, but things should work better now. Thanks to
62 Kevin Cox (@kevincox) and 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
63
64 ### 0.20.13 (2018-05-06)
65
66 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 61 (if you have enabled legacy
67 extensions). Thanks to Kevin Cox (@kevincox), 依云 (@lilydjwg) and Jan
68 Kokemüller (@jiixyj)!
69
70 ### 0.20.12 (2018-01-23)
71
72 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 59 (if you have enabled legacy
73 extensions). Thanks to Kevin Cox (@kevincox) and 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
74 - Updated locale: es. Thanks to @strel!
75
76 ### 0.20.11 (2017-11-19)
77
78 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 58 (if you have enabled legacy
79 extensions). Thanks to 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
80
81 ### 0.20.10 (2017-03-25)
82
83 - Improved: Autofocus is now prevented when going back in history on pages that
84 use `history.pushState()` (in other words, on the 'popstate' event).
85 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!
86
87 ### 0.20.9 (2017-02-21)
88
89 - Fixed: The `yy` command now works as expected in Reader Mode.
90
91 ### 0.20.8 (2017-01-14)
92
93 - Improved: The scrolling commands now scroll the closest scrollable parent of
94 the currently focused element (if it is not scrollable itself). This is
95 noticeable for Twitter’s modals, which are often scrollable. No longer any
96 need to use the `f` or `ef` commands to scroll those modals!
97
98 ### 0.20.7 (2017-01-07)
99
100 - Improved: The `[` and `]` commands now work in Google search results.
101 - Improved: You can now show the “emoji picker” of the “like” button on Facebook
102 by using the `ef` command.
103 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @interleaved!
104
105 ### 0.20.6 (2016-12-16)
106
107 - Fixed: The `'`, `g[` and `g]` commands no longer crash. (Regression since
108 0.20.5.)
109 - Fixed: The `ef` command can now focus elements in deeply nested frames again.
110 (Regression since 0.19.0.)
111 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` and `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` are now properly
112 undone when reloading a config file (`gC`).
113 - Improved: Hint markers for elements with multiline text no longer cover the
114 text.
115 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @interleaved!
116
117 ### 0.20.5 (2016-12-04)
118
119 - Fixed: Scrolling by holding `d`, `u`, `<space>` or `<s-space>` no longer goes
120 slower and slower (and finally grinding to a halt) on long pages with lots of
121 elements. (See also the [`scroll.repeat_timeout`] pref.)
122 - Improved: All config API functions now validate all their parameters properly.
123 This provides a better user experience, and, most importantly, prevents VimFx
124 from crashing on certain invalid input.
125
126 [`scroll.repeat_timeout`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/58deb3f7b7c470a4d705f1dabf7aa13e095e8d09/documentation/options.md#smooth-scrolling
127
128 ### 0.20.4 (2016-11-16)
129
130 - Fixed: The `n` and `N` commands now work in Firefox’s PDF viewer.
131 - Fixed: The `eb` command can now click the tab bar scroll buttons.
132 - Fixed: Elements marked by the `eb` command now correctly get hints based on
133 their area again.
134 - Improved: The `eb` command now favors the browser tabs and their close
135 buttons, giving them better hints.
136 - Improved: The hints given to the browser tabs by the `eb` command are now
137 consistent no matter how many tabs you have open. This means that the first
138 tab always gets the same hint, the second tab always get the same hint, and so
139 on.
140 - Improved: Hint markers are now placed next to the text of the element if
141 appropriate. For example, the hint marker for a button with centered text is
142 now placed just to the left of the text rather than at the left edge of
143 button. This is nice because it means that hint markers usually end up where
144 you were just reading.
145 - Improved: The positioning of hint markers has been fine-tuned by a pixel or so
146 in some cases.
147 - Improved: Custom styled checkboxes and radio buttons now get hint markers
148 faster (they are now found in the first pass rather than the second).
149 - Improved: Compatibility with the [Tab Center] add-on.
150 - Improved: Blurring the location bar is now more consistent. Previously, its
151 text wasn’t reset if the autocomplete popup was open when you pressed
152 `<escape>` to blur it.
153 - Fixed: An edge case where the wrong hint markers could be highlighted.
154
155 [Tab Center]: https://testpilot.firefox.com/experiments/tab-center/
156
157 ### 0.20.3 (2016-10-22)
158
159 - Improved: Full page scrolling now recognizes the fixed footer on medium.com.
160 - Fixed: Scrollable element can now be focused with the `f` command again (not
161 just with the `ef` command). (Regression since 0.19.0.)
162 - Fixed: `<escape>` is no longer accidentally leaked to the page when used to
163 blur text inputs. This allows blurring text inputs in modals without closing
164 the modal (which `<escape>` commonly does otherwise).
165
166 ### 0.20.2 (2016-10-16)
167
168 - Fixed: Text inputs and links inside frames can now be focused using hint
169 commands again. (Regression since 0.19.0.)
170 - Improved: Previously focused text inputs inside frames no longer steal the
171 focus when entering Caret mode in that frame.
172 - Improved: When several hint markers have the same hint (because their links
173 go to the same place), the _largest_ of those links is now chosen when
174 activating that hint. This might be noticeable via focus styling.
175 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @av2000ii!
176
177 ### 0.20.1 (2016-10-09)
178
179 - Improved: Caret mode is now a bit more robust. It can no longer make you end
180 up with [Firefox’s own Caret mode] accidentally enabled.
181 - Improved: If you try use for example `<ctrl>-j` as a keyboard shortcut, VimFx
182 will now tell you that you probably want `<c-j>` instead.
183 - Fixed: Using a keyboard shortcut to switch keyboard layout in GNOME while
184 inside a text input no longer causes the focus of that text input to be lost
185 when the Prevent autofocus option is enabled.
186 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @av2000ii!
187
188 [Firefox’s own Caret mode]: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Accessibility_features_of_Firefox#Allow_text_to_be_selected_with_the_keyboard
189
190 ### 0.20.0 (2016-10-02)
191
192 - Added: The `g[` and `g]` commands, which let you scroll to previous and next
193 scroll positions of the current page. This is similar to Vim’s jump list.
194 - Added: The `/` mark. Pressing `'/` takes you to the scroll position before the
195 last `/`, `a/` or `g/`.
196 - Fixed: Pressing `''` multiple times in a row now flips back and forth
197 between two scroll positions as expected.
198 - Fixed: Version 0.19.0 claimed to include the following improvement: “The hint
199 marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for a larger
200 element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).” However, a silly
201 mistake caused that improvement not to work. Now it does. For real.
202 - Fixed: All VimFx commands that copy text to the clipboard are now made sure to
203 also copy to the “selection clipboard” (if your system has such a thing). For
204 example, if you copy text using the `yv` command, the `p` command now uses
205 that copied text as expected.
206
207 ### 0.19.1 (2016-09-26)
208
209 - Fixed: The `'` command no longer crashes. (Regression since 0.19.0.)
210
211 ### 0.19.0 (2016-09-25)
212
213 #### Changes and improvements to Hints mode
214
215 **New feature:** Hint markers can now be filtered by element text, similar to
216 Vimium, Vimperator and Pentadactyl. This is useful for people who simply prefer
217 that workflow, and for clicking tiny pagination links (simply type its number!).
218
219 By default, filtering by element text is done by typing _uppercase_ characters
220 (hold down shift!). All characters other than the hint characters are now used
221 to filter hint markers by element text (rather than just being ignored). Do you
222 prefer filtering by element text, but dislike typing uppercase letters? Have a
223 look at how [hint characters] work to make things the other way around!
224
225 The markers with the best hint are now highlighted with a different color. You
226 may at any time press `<enter>` to activate those markers (or `<c-enter>` or
227 `<a-enter>` to change where and how to open links, just like you can hold ctrl
228 or alt for the last hint character).
229
230 Because of the above new features, the following default **Hints mode shortcuts
231 had to be changed:**
232
233 - `<space>` → `<c-space>` (`<s-space>` is left untouched)
234 - `<s->` → `<c-s->` (hold ctrl _and_ shift to peek through hint markers)
235 - `<enter>` → `<up>`
236 - `<c-enter>` → `<c-backspace>`
237
238 To make it easier to see the element text, hint markers are now nudged to the
239 left if they cover the text.
240
241 Other hint marker improvements:
242
243 - Hint markers are now 20% smaller by default. While trying to match text sizes
244 set by your operating system, they ended up a bit too large on most systems.
245 Check out the [Styling] documentation if you’d like to change the font size.
246 - Hint markers now have stronger contrast between the background color and the
247 text color, which should make them easier to read.
248 - The CSS for hint markers have been improved, making it easier to use custom
249 [Styling].
250 - When several elements have the same area, the best hint is now correctly given
251 to the _first_ of those elements. Previously, it happened to be the other way
252 around.
253 - The hint marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for
254 a larger element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).
255 - Hint markers are now better positioned when having zoomed the page in or out.
256 - Hints mode is now more robust in general. Several race conditions have been
257 fixed.

261
262 #### Other updates
263
264 - Added: The ability to **export, import and reset all** VimFx options. There
265 are three shiny new buttons for this in VimFx’s options page in the Add-ons
266 Manager!
267 - Added: The `gB` command, which lets you **quickly blacklist** (and
268 un-blacklist) sites.
269 - Added: The `ec` command, for opening the context menu of elements.
270 - Added: The `ep` command, for opening links in new private windows.
271 - Improved: `h`, `l`, `j` and `k` now feel more like scrolling with the arrow
272 keys when held down, by boosting the scrolling speed. See the
273 [`scroll.horizontal_boost` and `scroll.vertical_boost`][scroll-boost] options
274 for more information.
275 - Fixed: VimFx’s find bar integration is now much more robust. Most notably, if
276 you start typing directly after pressing `/` and Firefox is slow at opening
277 the find bar, your keypresses can no longer trigger VimFx commands or Firefox
278 built-in commands.
279 - Improved: VimFx no longer leaks keypresses to the web page in some modes. (For
280 example, counts in Caret mode).
281 - Improved: The `eb` command now finds more clickable elements in the devtools.
282 - Changed: `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` no longer lets you easily break for example
283 Hints mode, by now only being applied to Normal mode. You might need to change
284 your matchers from `(location, mode) => ...` to simply `location => ...`.
285 (Breaking API change.)
286 - Changed: The object passed to custom commands (and custom modes) no longer
287 contains a `uiEvent` property. Instead, there’s an `event` property. This
288 property can be used the same way if you check `vim.isUIEvent(event)` first.
289 (Breaking API change.)
290
291 [scroll-boost]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8bafdf0454043c1630bac8b13d13f1fb4e5ee9e7/documentation/options.md#scrollhorizontal_boost-and-scrollvertical_boost
292
293 ### 0.18.1 (2016-08-27)
294
295 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` no longer crashes on startup.
296 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` can now override the `prevent_autofocus`
297 pref again.
298
299 ### 0.18.0 (2016-08-20)
300
301 #### Changed default shortcuts
302
303 Some default keyboard shortcuts have been changed.
304
305 - Hint commands. Many of the old ones were difficult to remember, and there was
306 no space for adding new ones.
307
308 - `gf` → `et` (t as in tab)
309 - `gF` → `ew` (w as in window)
310 - `zf` → `ef` (f as in focus)
311 - `zF` → `eb` (b as in browser)
312 - `zv` → `av` (you actually select _all_ of the element’s text)
313
314 (`f`, `yf`, `af`, `v` and `yv` stay unchanged.)
315
316 There is a longer [explanation of these new defaults][hint-shortcuts] in the
317 documentation.
318
319 - `zr` → `gC`. `zr` was the only shortcut starting with `z`. This frees that key
320 up for other uses.
321
322 - `` ` `` → `'`. The `` ` `` shortcut (“scroll to mark”) as well as the `` ` ``
323 mark (“last position mark”) have both been changed to `'`. Both `` ` `` and
324 `'` are used in Vim. `'` is a better default, because it is easier to
325 type–both on an en-US QWERTY keyboard and, more importantly, on some
326 international layouts, such as the sv-SE QWERTY layout.
327
328 Note: If you miss Firefox’s default `'` shortcut to open the Quick Find bar
329 (which is now overridden), remember that VimFx provides `g/` which does the
330 same thing. (You can of course also change VimFx’s shortcuts.)
331
332 See also issue [#788].

335 [#788]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/issues/788
336
337 #### Other updates
338
339 - Added: It is now possible to create [custom hint commands].
340 - Fixed: The bottom-right corner of the page scrollbars can now be used with the
341 mouse again.
342 - Fixed: The toolbar button now correctly toggles VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts
343 dialog again.
344 - Updated locales: fr, ru. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r) and Nicholas
345 Guriev (@mymedia2)!
346
347 [custom hint commands]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/e8d9df31dd5c8df999ac22e3b3b8d548a68c6fa7/documentation/api.md#custom-hint-commands
348
349 ### 0.17.4 (2016-07-11)
350
351 - Improved: The usage of modifier keys in Hints mode is now shown in VimFx’s
352 Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog. The functionality has been there for a long
353 time, but should now be easier to find. Thanks to our awesome translators,
354 the new help text is already available in most supported locales!
355 - Improved: If you submit a form while still being inside one of its text
356 inputs, that text input is now automatically blurred. This lets you use VimFx
357 commands while waiting for the form to submit without having to press
358 `<escape>` first.
359 - Improved: The `gu` command now works better on some pages, by preserving a
360 trailing slash. Thanks to @sinkuu!
361 - Improved: VimFx now recognizes text areas in the TYPO3 CMS.
362 - Improved: The `<escape>` command and the toolbar button now let you escape
363 back to Normal mode if VimFx ever gets stuck thinking that you are typing in a
364 text input.
365
366 ### 0.17.3 (2016-06-27)
367
368 - Improved: The `zF` command can now open even more dropdown menus of buttons.
369
370 ### 0.17.2 (2016-06-19)
371
372 - Improved: The `zF` command now works with more buttons and is able to open
373 dropdown menus of buttons.
374 - Fixed: The `f` commands now recognize more file upload buttons.
375 - Fixed: Rotating hint markers now works more as expected after having entered a
376 few hint chars.
377 - Fixed: Scrolling now works in SVG documents.
378 - Fixed: Opening links in new tabs in Firefox 50.
379 - Updated locales: pt-BR and ru. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)
380 and Nicholas Guriev (@mymedia2)!
381
382 ### 0.17.1 (2016-06-12)
383
384 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer accidentally double-clicks instead of
385 single-clicking. Thanks to Alan Wu (@XrXr)!
386 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer crashes in Firefox 49+.
387 - Fixed: The “URL popup,” shown when hovering or focusing links, now appears
388 again when focusing links using `zf` (regression since 0.17.0).
389 - Updated locale: it. Thanks to Carlo Bertoldi (@cbertoldi)!
390
391 ### 0.17.0 (2016-06-08)
392
393 - Fixed: VimFx no longer scrolls smaller elements on a page instead of the
394 entire page on some sites.
395 - Improved: The `/`, `n` and `N` have been drastically sped up (when
396 [`find_from_top_of_viewport`][find_from_top_of_viewport-1] is on). Previously,
397 they appeared to freeze on some sites, but not anymore.
398 - Improved: You can no longer accidentally trigger VimFx between pressing `/`
399 and the find bar input being is focused.
400 - Improved: The `n` and `N` commands are now more robust.
401 - Improved: “Fullscreen” buttons and “Copy to clipboard” buttons can now be
402 activated the `f` command. Thanks to Alan Wu (@XrXr)!
403 - Changed: After having pressed `m` or `` ` `` VimFx no longer waits
404 indefinitely for you to press a mark key. Instead, the [timeout] option is
405 honored.
406 - Changed: After having pressed `m` or `` ` `` you can now press `<escape>` to
407 abort those commands.
408 - Changed: Find mode is no longer shown in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
409 dialog, to reduce clutter. (This can be changed through custom
410 [styling][styling-1].)
411 - Changed: The `?` command as well as the toolbar button now _toggle_ VimFx’s
412 Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (instead of always showing it, even if it was
413 already shown.)
414 - Changed: Counts are now ignored in Ignore mode. Previously, pressing number
415 keys would both send those key presses to the page _and_ contribute to the
416 count for commands (showing up in the bottom-right corner). This is no longer
417 the case.
418 - Updated locales: fr, zh-CN and zh-TW. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r),
419 @av2000ii and Robert Wang (@cyberrob)!

424
425 ### 0.16.1 (2016-05-29)
426
427 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer crashes (regression since 0.16.0).
428
429 ### 0.16.0 (2016-05-29)
430
431 - Fixed: The text input focus detection problems introduced in 0.15.1, which
432 sometimes caused VimFx commands to be triggered while typing in text inputs,
433 have been fixed.
434 - Improved: If you press `n` or `N` when there are are no matches for your
435 search, the find bar is no longer opened. Only a notification is shown. The
436 reliability of those notifications has also been improved.
437 - Improved: Hints mode now finds more links.
438 - Improved: Pressing `<c-enter>` in Hints mode now includes more elements.
439 - Updated locales: es, zh-CN. Thanks to @strel and @av2000ii!

441 ### 0.15.1 (2016-05-22)
442
443 - Improved: Better hints on Twitter.
444 - Improved: Compatibility with the [Evernote Web Clipper] add-on (and
445 potentially other add-ons with similar UI).
446 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!

449
450 ### 0.15.0 (2016-05-18)
451
452 - Improved: Hint markers now appear up to twice as fast on many pages. This is
453 done by creating the hint markers in two phases. Most are created in the
454 first, fast, phase. The rest take the same time as older VimFx versions to
455 show up.
456 - Fixed: VimFx no longer triggers commands while typing in fancy text inputs on
457 some sites, such as when composing a new tweet on Twitter. (See also the
458 [`blur_timeout`] pref.)
459 - Changed: The `<c-enter>` Hints mode command no longer _replaces_ all hint
460 markers on screen (with new ones for all elements on screen). Instead, it
461 _toggles_ your current hint markers with ones for all _other_ elements on
462 screen.
463 - Changed: There was a breaking change to the [`vimfx.setHintMatcher`] function
464 of the `frame.js` config file API. It no longer receives and returns an object
465 (of the shape `{type, semantic}`), but instead simply receives and returns the
466 `type` of the element.
467 - Improved: Some internal robustness refactoring.
468 - Updated locales: de, id, nl and zh-CN. Thanks to @just-barcodes, Yoppy
469 Halilintar (@comepradz), @HJTP, @av2000ii and @mozillazg.

473
474 ### 0.14.3 (2016-05-08)
475
476 - Fixed: Version 0.14.2 attempted to fix smooth scrolling speed in newer Firefox
477 versions. However, there was a tiny typo that caused the fix not to work. That
478 typo has been corrected.
479
480 ### 0.14.2 (2016-05-08)
481
482 - Fixed: Smooth scrolling speed is now correct again in newer Firefox versions.
483 - Fixed: The `yv` Caret mode command now only copies text that you can see on
484 screen (not any hidden text that might be on the page), making it truly work
485 like `zv` followed by `y`, as intended. This problem was very noticeable on
486 Slack. This also improves copying of 'contenteditable' elements using `yf`.
487 - Fixed: `<escape>` and arrow key handling as well as hint markers in the
488 devtools now work correctly again in newer Firefox versions.
489 - Fixed: VimFx no longer makes it impossible to open the Developer Toolbar.
490 - Improved: VimFx now ignores `<numlock>` and `<capslock>`. If your keyboard
491 sends `<numlock>` before some symbols, such as `<numlock>$` instead of just
492 `$`, shortcuts like `gx$` now work out of the box. This also means that you
493 can use `<capslock>` instead of `<shift>` when typing the `J` in `gJ`, for
494 example.
495 - Improved: Some minor cosmetic tweaks in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
496 dialog.
497
498 ### 0.14.1 (2016-04-30)
499
500 - Fixed: The Find commands (such as `/`, `n` and `N`) no longer crash on some
501 sites (regression since 0.14.0).
502
503 ### 0.14.0 (2016-04-29)
504
505 - Added: [Caret mode], which lets you copy text from web pages using the
506 keyboard.
507 - Improved: The Find commands (such as `/`, `n` and `N`) now search from the top
508 of the viewport, instead of from the top of the document, which is more
509 Vim-like and less disorienting. To read more about it (or to return to the
510 Firefox default behavior) please see the [`find_from_top_of_viewport`] pref.
511 - Improved: Compatibility with the [BackTrack Tab History] add-on.
512 - Added: The `<c-enter>` Hints mode command, which creates hint markers for
513 _all_ elements.
514 - Fixed: `__dirname` inside config files now works on Windows. Thanks to
515 Zhong Jianxin (@azuwis)!
516 - Fixed: Unnecessary full-page hint markers on some sites, such as Hackernews,
517 no longer appear.

522
523 ### 0.13.2 (2016-04-08)
524
525 - Improved: The “last position mark” `` ` `` now works more reliably.
526 - Improved: More video players are now recognized. Many video players lets you
527 press `<space>` while focused to toggle play/pause. VimFx tries to detect if
528 the currently focused element is a video player. If so, `<space>` is passed to
529 the video player instead of scrolling the page. (For those interested, see
530 also the [`adjustable_element_keys`] pref.)
531
532 [`adjustable_element_keys`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/645e35d7d82019b0551534c43926bc126e7105bd/documentation/options.md#adjustable_element_keys
533
534 ### 0.13.1 (2016-04-01)
535
536 - Fixed: Blacklisting of some XUL pages.
537 - Fixed: The current mode is no longer lost when a page loads. For example, if
538 you press `zF` while a page is loading, the markers no longer disappear.
539 - Fixed: Elements that you have focused using an `f` command no longer get stuck
540 appearing as if you’d put the mouse pointer.
541 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @mozillazg!
542
543 ### 0.13.0 (2016-03-19)
544
545 - Added: The `T` command, which opens a new tab after the current.
546 - Changed: The `gl` command now deals with _visited_ tabs only.
547 - Added: The [`gL`] command, which deals with <em>un</em>visited tabs only, in
548 oldest-first order. Use this to step through your unvisited background tabs in
549 the order you opened them (for example using the `F` command).
550 - Improved: The `gi` command no longer tries to focus the last focused text
551 input if it has been removed from the page. If so, it finds a new one instead.
552 - Fixed: You can now type in sidebar text inputs (such as in the history
553 sidebar) without having to switch to Ignore mode.
554 - Changed: If you enter Ignore mode you will now stay in Ignore mode in that tab
555 until you explicitly exit it (by pressing `<s-escape>`), even if you reload
556 the page or follow a link. If Ignore mode was entered automatically because of
557 the [blacklist][blacklist-2], though, you will be automatically returned to
558 Normal mode if
559 the URL changes to a non-blacklisted page.
560 - Added: VimFx can now automatically enter and exit Ignore mode based on the
561 currently focused element. Currently, the [wasavi] extension as well as
562 [CodeMirror] in Vim mode are detected. Both of those provide Vim-style
563 editors. This allows sending `<escape>` to those editors in order to exit
564 their Insert mode, without blurring the editor.
565 - Improved: CodeMirror editors now get better hints, keeping the cursor where
566 you left it.
567 - Improved: The [blacklist][blacklist-2] is now applied faster on some pages.
568 - Improved: Many audio and video elements are now recognized as “adjustable”,
569 allowing you to press for example `<space>` on them to toggle play/pause,
570 without scrolling the page.
571 - Improved: Scrolling by pages, such as using the `<space>` command, now takes
572 fixed heaears and footers into account, just like Firefox does.
573 - Fixed: Access keys now work correctly in context menus in the devtools and
574 `about:config`.
575 - Improved: The arrow keys now Just Work in the devtools, even if you have bound
576 them to VimFx commands.
577 - Changed: The public API has been removed, and turned into the Config file API.
578 If you were already using a config file, it will no longer work. You need to
579 set up a new one, but you should be able to simply copy and paste the contents
580 of the old one into the new one. Read the [config file] documentation for more
581 information.
582 - Changed: There are a few minor breaking changes to the API, though I doubt it
583 will affect anyone.
584 - If you use [`vimfx.on`], you probably need to adjust the arguments of the
585 your callbacks. They are now _always_ passed an object of data, instead of
586 sometimes passing the data directly.
587 - `match.focus` of [match object]s has been removed, and replaced by
588 `vim.focusType` of [vim object]s.
589 - Fixed: The toolbar button’s icon is now correctly sized when setting
590 `layout.css.devPixelsPerPx` to `2`. Thanks to Robert Ma (@Hexcles) and Dale
591 Whinham (@dwhinham)!
592 - Fixed: Find commands now work when the find bar was opened before the page had
593 finished loading.
594 - Improved: Lots of internal improvements. This should make VimFx faster, more
595 reliable and more responsive.
596 - All keyboard event handling (except `<late>` shortcuts) are now handled in
597 the UI process, instead of mostly in each tab’s web page content process.
598 This should make VimFx’s shortcuts more reliable and responsive.
599 - Removed all synchronous message passing (execpt for `<late>` keypresses).
600 Mozilla recommends using them only where absolutely necessary. Turns out
601 VimFx doesn’t need them anymore!
602 - The `f` commands are now more reliable. Before, they could crash on rare
603 occasions (on certain web pages), but that is less likely now.
604 - Less `MutationObserver`s are now used. This should improve performance.
605 - Less uncaught errors (especially on shutdown).
606 - Lots of minor improvements.
607 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!

617
618 ### 0.12.0 (2016-02-03)
619
620 - Improved: More clickable elements are now recognized. Most notably, elements
621 with click event listeners added by JavaScript now get hints.
622 - Improved: Autofocus prevention after using the `[` and `]` commands.
623 - Added: In VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (which can be opened by
624 pressing `?`) you can now click on any command to open VimFx’s settings page
625 in the Add-ons Manager and automatically select the text input for that
626 command, letting you edit its shortcuts. Tip: Use the `zF` command to click
627 without using the mouse.
628 - Changed: Autofocus is no longer prevented in Firefox internal pages, such as
629 `about:preferences`, `about:addons` and `about:config` (as well as other XUL
630 pages).
631 - Fixed: VimFx and the Beyond Australis extension do not conflict with each
632 other anymore.
633 - Fixed: The `gH` command no longer nags you about “No back/forward history”
634 even though there is.
635 - Added: The `gl` command now takes a [count][gl-count].
636 - Improved: Optimized CPU usage in Hints mode. (See also the [`hints_sleep`]
637 pref.)
638 - Improved: The `H` and `L` commands should now be more reliable in Firefox 43
639 and later.
640 - Changed: There was a tiny breaking change to the Public API, though I doubt it
641 will affect anyone. (See [commit 0ca807605e] if you’re especially interested.)
642 - Improved: _Several_ minor things, and some really nice internal refactoring.
643 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
644
645 [`hints_sleep`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/92b483c4a4f6da0b2c998267e0f01d3d999f93b6/documentation/options.md#hints_sleep

648
649 ### 0.11.0 (2016-01-15)
650
651 - Fixed: The `` ` `` command is no longer broken.
652 - Fixed: Memory leak.
653 - Added: The `gl` command, which takes you to the most recent tab.
654 - Improved: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now scrollable using VimFx’s
655 scrolling commands. To allow for this, the search field is no longer
656 autofocused. Instead, press `/` to open it.
657 - Improved: Using the `f` commands, such as `f` and `zf`, now works like
658 actually moving your mouse onto the link, making hover menus and such-like
659 appear.
660 - Improved: VimFx should now work better with Google Drive Documents, Etherpad
661 and a few other fancy text editors.
662 - Improved: The `]` command now works on google.com.
663 - Improved: Checkboxes and menu items on gmail.com are now given hints by the
664 `f` command.
665 - Improved: The `gi` command now also recognizes 'contenteditable' elements.
666 - Improved: Hint markers now move along together with their elements.
667 - Fixed: Hint markers should now be correctly positioned when zooming.
668 - Fixed: The toolbar button icon should now look correctly on Retina screens.
669 - Added: You may now disable counts by using toggling the [`counts_enabled`]
670 pref.
671 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
672 - Improved: Several minor things.
673
674 [`counts_enabled`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8dae7aec9008595da31b939d5ae2d239849cf6dc/documentation/options.md#counts_enabled
675
676 ### 0.10.0 (2015-12-09)
677
678 - Added: The `zF` command, which lets you click browser elements.
679 - Improved: The scrolling commands can now scroll browser elements (in other
680 words, not only web page content), by first selecting the scollable element
681 using `zF`.
682 - Added: The `gr` command, which toggles [Reader View].
683 - Added: The `gX` command, which opens the Recently Closed Tabs menu at the
684 middle of the screen.
685 - Added: The keys you’ve typed so far of a command, as well the count, are now
686 shown in a [notification]. (You may disable this using the
687 [`notify_entered_keys`] pref.)
688 - Improved: When commands don’t do anything, they show a [notification] instead,
689 letting you know that you actually pressed the right keys. For example, if you
690 press `f` but there are no markable elements visible, a notification is shown
691 telling you so, instead of silently doing nothing.
692 - Improved: `<space>` now scrolls _about a line less_ than a full page, just
693 like Firefox does by default. `d` scroll about _half_ a line less (by
694 default), so that pressing `d` twice works like pressing `<space>` once. (See
695 the [`scroll.full_page_adjustment` and `scroll.half_page_adjustment`] prefs
696 for more information.)
697 - Improved: `gi` now only selects all text in its text input if you haven’t
698 focused a text input yet (allowing you to easily replace pre-filled text),
699 instead of _always_ doing so. Otherwise, it now puts the cursor where you left
700 off typing the last time.
701 - Fixed: The `f` commands now put the cursor where you left off typing the last
702 time when focusing a text input. Previously, they accidentally selected all
703 text in the text input (use `zf` for that behavior).
704 - Fixed: Yet a scrolling fix. VimFx’s scrolling commands should now “just work”
705 on even more sites.
706 - Fixed: AltGr should now work out of the box on Windows. (See the
707 [`ignore_ctrl_alt`] pref for more information.)
708 - Removed: The el-GR, hu and pl locales were sadly too out of date to be useful,
709 and nobody has shown interest in updating them, so they were removed.
710 - Updated locales: id, de and zh-CN. Thanks to Yoppy Halilintar, @just-barcodes
711 and @mozillazg!
712 - Fixed: Several tiny bugs.

719
720 ### 0.9.0 (2015-12-02)
721
722 - Fixed: Links with the `onclick` attribute can now be opened in new tabs again.
723 (Regression since 0.8.0.)
724 - Fixed: The text size in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now
725 correctly resized.
726 - Added: The `gH` command. It opens the back/forward button context menu in the
727 middle of the window, allowing you to choose a history entry with the arrow
728 keys and `<enter>`.
729
730 ### 0.8.0 (2015-12-01)
731
732 - Fixed: VimFx now works properly in tabs moved to other windows.
733 - Fixed: An unreliable check for multi-process mode has been eliminated, fixing
734 various problems for some users.
735 - Fixed: VimFx’s toolbar button now changes color correctly when switching
736 between blacklisted and non-blacklisted tabs.
737 - Fixed: Dead keys now work out of the box on Windows.
738 - Improved: Links with the `onclick` attribute (abused as buttons) can no longer
739 get the same hint as another link.
740 - Added: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (shown by pressing `?`) is now
741 searchable.
742 - Added: The `g/` command. It’s like `/` but searches links only.
743
744 - Added: [Marks].
745
746 - Use `ma` to mark the current scroll position and `` `a `` to return to it.
747 (You may substitute `a` with any key press.)
748 - Use ``` `` ``` to return to the position before the last `gg`, `G`, `0`,
749 `$`, `/`, `n`, `N` or `` ` ``. (You can change this mark using the
750 [`last_scroll_position_mark`] pref.)
751
752 - Added: Window commands.
753
754 - `w`: Open new window.
755 - `W`: Open new private window.
756 - `gw`: Move tab to new window.
757 - `gF`: Follow link in new window.
758

761
762 ### 0.7.3 (2015-11-22)
763
764 - Fixed: Scrolling now works correctly in pages in quirks mode (lacking a
765 doctype), such as Hackernews.
766 - Improved: The largest scrollable element is now detected better in frames.
767 - Fixed: Hints mode now exits correctly when focusing a text input using `af`,
768 or `f` with a count.
769
770 ### 0.7.2 (2015-11-21)
771
772 - Fixed: The blinking text caret now always appears correctly when focusing text
773 inputs.
774
775 ### 0.7.1 (2015-11-21)
776
777 - Fixed: The scrolling commands should now “just work” when using non-default
778 zoom or DPI settings, most notably on Google Groups.
779
780 ### 0.7.0 (2015-11-19)
781
782 - Changed: Instead of using system notifications, which turned out to be a bit
783 too intrusive, [notifications] are now similar to the “URL popup” (shown when
784 hovering or focusing links) but are placed on the opposite side,.
785 - Changed: The “Focus next element” and “Focus previous element” commands have
786 been removed. The reason they existed was to let `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` only
787 cycle between text inputs (as opposed to _all_ focusable elements) after
788 you’ve pressed `gi`. Now, `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` are handled specially instead,
789 and _only_ after pressing `gi`. The reason for this change is that the now
790 removed commands were too intrusive, breaking user habits. One of VimFx’s main
791 goal is _not_ to do that. (You can turn the special handling of `<tab>` and
792 `<s-tab>` off using the the new [`focus_previous_key` and `focus_next_key`]
793 prefs.)
794 - Fixed: The scrolling commands should now “just work” in a lot more situations,
795 most notably on Gmail and Google Groups. More scrollable elements are also
796 recognized by the `f` and `zf` commands.
797 - Improved: The right border of hint markers for scrollable elements is now
798 styled to remind of a scroll bar, making them easier to recognize among hints
799 for links.
800 - Improved/Changed: `J` and `gJ` now allow a count on the first tab.
801 Consequently, `K` and `gK` now allow a count on the _last_ tab.
802 - Changed: `gJ` and `gK` can no longer be used to pin or unpin tabs. They now
803 only wrap around tabs of the same pinned state. Use `gp` to toggle between
804 pinned and non-pinned.
805 - Fixed: Many elements that got a hint before VimFx 0.6.0 now do again.
806 - Improved: Comment fields on Facebook can now be focused using `f` and blurred
807 using `<escape>`.
808 - Improved: VimFx’s toolbar button is no greyed out when you focus a text input.
809 This is to show that your key presses will be passed into the text input
810 rather than activating VimFx commands.
811 - Added: [`g0`, `g^` and `g$` now accept counts][tab-index-counts], allowing you
812 to go to tab number _count._
813 - Improved: `gi` now finds text inputs inside frames.
814 - Fixed: “gi mode” is now exited properly when blurring a text input.
815 - Fixed: `<select>` elements are no longer considered to be text inputs when
816 using `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` in “gi mode.”
817 - Fixed: Using `<force>` or `<late>` in a shortcut no longer applies to _every_
818 shortcut for the command, but only that shortcut.
819 - Fixed: The order of the Previous/Next page patterns is now respected. This
820 caused the wrong link to be picked by the `[` and `]` commands on some pages.

826 ### 0.6.2 (2015-11-11)
827
828 - Improved: If the entire page isn’t scrollable, the largest scrollable element
829 is scrolled instead.
830 - Fixed: VimFx’s keyboard shortcuts now works on slowly loading pages.
831 - Fixed: Numbers may now be used as shortcut keys (overriding counts).
832 - Fixed: The toolbar button’s icon is now correctly sized in high DPI.
833 - Fixed: Hint markers are now correctly positioned when zooming using the “Zoom
834 text only” option.
835 - Fixed: The `P` command now works with the InstantFox add-on.
836
837 ### 0.6.1 (2015-11-10)
838
839 - Fixed: If you customized the “esc” command before VimFx 0.6.0 it should now
840 work as expected.
841 - Fixed: `<tab>` now works as expected in the location bar and in the dev tools.
842 - Fixed: Light-weight themes can no longer make VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
843 dialog and hint markers unreadable.
844 - Added: The [notifications\_enabled] option.
845
846 [notifications\_enabled]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/56c4b7c514ea8b58d2cdcecf3d2654648c48ca31/documentation/options.md#notifications_enabled
847
848 ### 0.6.0 (2015-11-09)
849
850 ##### Most important (breaking) changes
851
852 - VimFx now works properly with **any keyboard layout.** Users of **multiple
853 layouts** should enable the **[ignore keyboard layout] option.** #249 #259
854
855 - Features related to disabling VimFx, and to the [toolbar button]:
856
857 - **Insert Mode** has been renamed to **_Ignore_ mode.**
858 - **[Blacklisted][blacklist] sites** now **enter Ignore mode automatically,**
859 instead of being specially handled.
860 - The feature to click the toolbar button (or press `<a-V>`) to **disable
861 VimFx** has been **removed.** Use **Ignore mode** (`i`) and the
862 **[blacklist] instead.**
863 - The **toolbar button** is now **red in Ignore mode** (which also means that
864 it is red on blacklisted sites) and green otherwise (never grey anymore).
865 - The toolbar button no longer offers to (un-)blacklist the current domain.
866 (Head into VimFx’s settings page in the Add-ons Manager and add
867 `*currentdomain.com*` to the [blacklist] option yourself instead.)
868
869 (See [commit 3552282] for more information.)
870
871 - **Some default shortcuts have changed,** mostly because they conflicted with
872 standard Firefox shortcuts: #308
873
874 - `<c-J>` → `gJ`
875
876 - `<c-K>` → `gK`
877
878 - `g^` and `gH` → `g0`
879
880 `g^` now selects the first _non pinned_ tab instead, while `g0`
881 selects the first tab regardless of whether it is pinned or not. #317
882
883 - `<c-e>` (alias for `j`) and `<c-y>` (alias for `k`) have been removed.
884
885 - `<c-f>` → `<space>` and `<c-b>` → `<s-space>`
886
887 - `vf` → `zf`
888
889 This frees up `v` for future shortcuts (instead making `z` a
890 “namespace” key, just like in Vim).
891
892 - To **exit Ignore mode:** `<escape>` → `<s-escape>`. This is because Ignore
893 mode has replaced the disable feature, as well as the special blacklist
894 state (see above). Sites are likely to use `<escape>` but not `<s-escape>`.
895 (In a way, this new role of Ignore mode also means that the old (many times
896 broken) shortcut to disable VimFx (`<a-V>`) has been replaced by `i`.) #64
897 \#375 #432
898
899 - VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now help only, and more accessible.
900 To **customize keyboard shortcuts,** go to VimFx’s settings page **in the
901 Add-ons Manager,** just like you would to customize other settings. Also,
902 **commas** between every key are **no longer needed:** Type `gJ` instead of
903 `g,J`.
904
905 - For performance reasons, **Hint markers** are now placed vertically **centered
906 instead of at the top** of the element. Don’t be surprised if you see the same
907 hint repeated several times**—links that go to the same place now get the same
908 hint.** The “Smart hints” option has been removed—hints are _always_ smart
909 now, and a lot smarter than before. Finally, hints now also work in the new
910 tab page, the Add-ons Manager and the preferences page. If you want to, you
911 can read more about [the `f` commands]. \#51 #60 #176 #320 #325 #468 #471 #475
912
913 - The **`F`** command now _always_ opens tabs in new **background** tabs, while
914 **`gf`** has been added to open tabs in new **foreground** tabs. #227 #464
915
916 - **Autofocus prevention** is now **off by default.** One of VimFx’s core
917 philosophies is to be nice to your browser habits. Some find autofocus
918 prevention too big a change. Turn it on again if you like it! By the way,
919 autofocus prevention now works much more reliably and should not cause issues
920 with other extensions. #497 #541
921
922 - The **“Scroll step”** option has been **removed**. The scrolling commands that
923 used it now **work like the arrow keys instead,** and are customized just like
924 them. See [scrolling prefs] for more information.
925
926 - Speaking of scrolling, **which elements scrolls** when you use VimFx’s
927 scrolling commands **has changed.** See [scrolling commands] for more
928 information.
929
930 ##### New features
931
932 - New commands:
933
934 - `gp` pins or unpins the current tab. (Also see `g^` and `g0` mentioned
935 above.) #121
936 - `yt` duplicates the current tab. #121
937 - `0` and `^` scroll to the far left, and `$` scrolls to the far right.
938 - [`gi`] has finally been implemented. #47
939 - [Ignore mode `<s-f1>`] let you run a Normal mode command without exiting
940 Ignore mode.
941
942 - In Hints mode you can now hold ctrl and alt to change behavior of the matched
943 marker. Hold shift to temporarily make the hints see-through. See [the `f`
944 commands] for more information. #220 #421 #484
945
946 - Some commands now accept [counts]. #374
947
948 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that work inside text inputs. See the
949 [`<force>`] key for more information. #258
950
951 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that the page can override. See the
952 [`<late>`] key for more information.
953
954 - A number of [advanced options] have been added. Rather than listing everything
955 regarding them here, follow that link if you’re interested. #452 #489
956
957 - You may now, if you want to, configure VimFx through a [config file], using
958 the new [public API]. Customizing VimFx through a config file also gives extra
959 abilities, such as [site-specific options][option-overrides] and [disabling
960 certain commands on certain sites][key-overrides]. It also allows to add
961 [custom commands] \(and other extensions to extend VimFx). #158 #235 #255 #261
962 \#300 #408 #445 #490 #515
963
964 - It is now easier to customize VimFx through custom [styling]. An example is
965 changing the way hint markers look. #220 #233 #424 #432 #465
966
967 - VimFx now has [documentation] and a [wiki].
968
969 - A few new locales were added:
970
971 - fr. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r)!
972 - pt-BR. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)!
973 - sv-SE. Thanks to Andreas Lindhé (@lindhe)!
974
975 ##### Improvements
976
977 - VimFx is now multi-process/Electrolysis/e10s compatible! This means that you
978 can run VimFx on a version of Firefox with multi-process enabled without
979 issues, and that we’re future proof for the day when Firefox becomes
980 multi-process by default. Best of all, it also made VimFx more reliable in
981 non-multi-process (“regular”) Firefox. #378
982
983 - The `[` and `]` commands are now smarter, recognizing more links to the
984 previous/next page correctly. You may read more about [previous/next page
985 patterns]. #396
986
987 - The `n` and `N` commands now notify you when they wrap around the page, or the
988 phrase you searched for could not be found. #398
989
990 - _All_ shortcuts in _all modes_ can now be customized. For example, this allows
991 you to disable VimFx’s Vim-style `<enter>` behavior in the find bar. #222 #390
992 \#421
993
994 - The `p` and `P` commands are now smarter regarding whether to treat the
995 clipboard contents as a URL or a search, by working exactly like pasting in
996 the location bar. They also now read the selection clipboard, if available.
997 \#353 #382
998
999 - VimFx’s toolbar button is now properly implemented. #303 #349 #383
1000
1001 - Most locales were updated. Thanks to our awesome [translators]!
1002
1003 ##### Minor bug fixes
1004
1005 - VimFx now works correctly in tabs dragged to other windows. #57
1006 - The `p` command is no longer broken. #494
1007 - Non-ASCII shortcut keys now work properly. #433
1008 - The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog can no longer be covered by page elements.
1009 \#477
1010 - Hint markers can no longer be covered by page elements.
1011 - VimFx no longer causes scripts on icloud.com to get stuck in an infinite loop.

1037
1038 ### 0.5.17 (2015-01-23)
1039
1040 - Fixed: The hints generation no longer crashes on some pages (regression since
1041 version 0.5.15).
1042
1043 ### 0.5.16 (2015-01-22)
1044
1045 - Fixed: The toolbar button no longer throws errors. (This fix should have been
1046 in 0.5.15 but was forgotten. Luckily an AMO reviewer found it.)
1047
1048 ### 0.5.15 (2015-01-21)
1049
1050 - Improved: This version is now forwards-compatible with the upcoming version
1051 0.6.0. Downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.14 or older might cause VimFx to crash,
1052 but downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.15 is safe.
1053 - Fixed: Non-hintchars key presses in hints mode are now suppressed. They used
1054 to be passed along to the browser, which could confusingly activate site
1055 commands.
1056 - Fixed: The 'f' command now always opens links in the same tab. Links used to
1057 be able to force a new tab or window.
1058 - Fixed: Pressing 'Esc' in the location bar now restores the URL, as is the
1059 default behaviour of Firefox. You may now also close Firefox dialogs using
1060 'Esc'.
1061 - Improved: Updated the de locale. Thanks to Alexander Haeussler!
1062 - Improved: Updated the pl locale. Thanks to morethanoneanimal!
1063
1064 ### 0.5.14 (2014-08-16)
1065
1066 - Fixed: Locales should now work properly.
1067 - Improved: Updated the zh-CN locale (@mozillazg).
1068 - Improved: Updated the de locale (@Kambfhase).
1069 - Added: Japanese locale (@pluser).
1070 - Fixed: If you switched to another tab or window while an `<input>` element
1071 was focused and then switched back, the `<input>` element got blurred, while
1072 it should have stayed focused. This caused the auto-type feature of KeePassX
1073 to break.
1074
1075 ### 0.5.13 (2014-08-02)
1076
1077 - Fixed: The vote button on StackExchange sites are now markable again.
1078 - Improved: Detection of previous/next links. Should work better on gmail now.
1079 - Fixed: It is now possible to use Enter/Return in keyboard shortcuts.
1080 - Improved: The n/N commands (etc.) now work even if you didn’t open the finbar
1081 using the VimFx command (such as the default key binding ctrl+f, or by
1082 clicking a menu item).
1083 - Improved: It is now possible to blur text inputs without sending Esc to the
1084 page, which could cause dialogs etc. to annoyingly close.
1085 - Improved: Updated the el-GR locale (@sirodoht).
1086 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention sometimes made text inputs impossible to focus
1087 until you reloaded the page.
1088 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now works on more sites than before.
1089 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now prevents _all_ automatic focusing (not
1090 just when the page loads). This makes devdocs.io much easier to use.
1091 - Added: When viewing images directly and the image has been resized to fit the
1092 screen the image is now markable, allowing you to toggle zoom on it using the
1093 keyboard.
1094 - Fixed: It is no longer possible to add conflicting shortcuts (such as adding
1095 'a' when 'af' and 'as' are already present).
1096
1097 ### 0.5.12 (2014-06-01)
1098
1099 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention got stuck sometimes, making it impossible to
1100 focus inputs.
1101
1102 ### 0.5.11 (2014-06-01)
1103
1104 - Fixed: The focus search bar command was broken.
1105 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention was broken.
1106 - Fixed: The top bar on YouTube could not be accessed by VimFx.
1107 - Fixed: You can no longer add blank hotkeys.
1108 - Improved: Tab Groups are supported.
1109 - Improved: Matching of previous/next links should be more reliable.
1110 - Improved: A few minor things.
1111
1112 ### 0.5.10 (2014-05-07)
1113
1114 - Fixed yet another bug related to the default preferences
1115
1116 ### 0.5.9 (2014-05-04)
1117
1118 - Fixed a bug with default preferences not being set
1119 - Fixed gg and G to be faster
1120
1121 ### 0.5.8 (2014-04-18)
1122
1123 - AMO Preliminary Review bug fix (sorry for such long delay)
1124
1125 ### 0.5.7 (2014-03-03)
1126
1127 - Bug fix
1128
1129 ### 0.5.6 (2014-02-26)
1130
1131 - Updated some translations
1132 - Updated pagination patterns and logic
1133
1134 ### 0.5.5 (2014-01-03)
1135
1136 - Hotfix release to address a bug that has been introduced in 0.5.4
1137
1138 ### 0.5.4 (2014-01-03)
1139
1140 - Fix for popup passthrough mode stucking
1141 - Make toolbar button click depend on current mode
1142 - Higher weight markers should not be overlapped
1143 - Refactor find mode to use Firefox native search bar
1144 - Bump minimum required Firefox version to 25
1145 - Added commands to go in the URL path
1146 - Added commands to navigate previous and next links with customizable link
1147 patterns
1148 - Use Firefox 24+ native console API
1149 - Update zh-CN localization
1150
1151 ### 0.5.3 (2013-10-16)
1152
1153 - Lots of refactoring
1154 - Insert mode (`i` command)
1155 - Follow multiple links with `af` command
1156 - Hint marker rotation with `space` while in hints mode
1157
1158 ### 0.5.1 (2013-08-21)
1159
1160 - Fixed regression with stylesheets
1161 - Updated icon
1162
1163 ### 0.5 (2013-08-19)
1164
1165 - Added command to focus search bar: `O`
1166 - Added commands to stop loading current page and all pages: `s` and `as`
1167 - Invisible elements will not get hint markers
1168 - Compatibility with Firefox 25
1169 - Simple shortcut customization with UI in Help dialog
1170 - Use Huffman coding algorithm for hint markers generation which results in
1171 shorter links
1172 - Implemented Bloom filters to achieve shorter hints for those shortcuts that
1173 are used often
1174 - Reimplemented scrolling - now works with pages where window is not scrollable
1175 - Find disabled on non HTML documents
1176 - Find string is now global for all windows.
1177 - Fixed logic of locale discovery. Now we rely on general.useragent.locale
1178 Firefox preference for current locale
1179
1180 ### 0.4.8 (2013-06-12)
1181
1182 - `embed` and `object` tags will now have their own hints
1183 - Bug fixes related to custom hint chars (@LordJZ)
1184 - Fixed `t` - now it will be nice to other extensions
1185 - Updated Chinese translations (@mozillazg)
1186 - Reenter Normal mode on page reloads to avoid getting stuck in Hints mode
1187 without any hints
1188 - Search will focus element that contains matching text
1189 - Fixed hint markers for iframes
1190 - Marker bug fixes (@LordJZ)
1191
1192 ### 0.4.6 (2013-03-27)
1193
1194 - Reimplemented find mode: CJK support, performance boost
