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

30 Thanks to Tobias Girstmair (@girst)!
31
32 ### 0.21.0 (2019-05-15)
33
34 - Removed: The Developer Toolbar integration, such as the `:` shortcut. That
35 feature has been removed from Firefox and the integration was causing issues
36 on newer Firefox versions. Thanks to Tobias Girstmair (@girst)!
37 - Fixed: VimFx should now work on Waterfox again. Tested with Waterfox 56,
38 Firefox 56, Firefox 64 and Waterfox 68. Thanks to Tobias Girstmair (@girst)
39 and @matsuhav!
40
41 ### 0.20.15 (2018-08-06)
42
43 - Fixed: Find mode now works properly again. Thanks to @matsuhav!
44
45 ### 0.20.14 (2018-05-15)
46
47 - Fixed: VimFx should now work properly in Firefox 61 (if you have enabled
48 legacy extensions) as well as older versions of Firefox. The latest few
49 versions have been a bit buggy, but things should work better now. Thanks to
50 Kevin Cox (@kevincox) and 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
51
52 ### 0.20.13 (2018-05-06)
53
54 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 61 (if you have enabled legacy
55 extensions). Thanks to Kevin Cox (@kevincox), 依云 (@lilydjwg) and Jan
56 Kokemüller (@jiixyj)!
57
58 ### 0.20.12 (2018-01-23)
59
60 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 59 (if you have enabled legacy
61 extensions). Thanks to Kevin Cox (@kevincox) and 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
62 - Updated locale: es. Thanks to @strel!
63
64 ### 0.20.11 (2017-11-19)
65
66 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 58 (if you have enabled legacy
67 extensions). Thanks to 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
68
69 ### 0.20.10 (2017-03-25)
70
71 - Improved: Autofocus is now prevented when going back in history on pages that
72 use `history.pushState()` (in other words, on the 'popstate' event).
73 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!
74
75 ### 0.20.9 (2017-02-21)
76
77 - Fixed: The `yy` command now works as expected in Reader Mode.
78
79 ### 0.20.8 (2017-01-14)
80
81 - Improved: The scrolling commands now scroll the closest scrollable parent of
82 the currently focused element (if it is not scrollable itself). This is
83 noticeable for Twitter’s modals, which are often scrollable. No longer any
84 need to use the `f` or `ef` commands to scroll those modals!
85
86 ### 0.20.7 (2017-01-07)
87
88 - Improved: The `[` and `]` commands now work in Google search results.
89 - Improved: You can now show the “emoji picker” of the “like” button on Facebook
90 by using the `ef` command.
91 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @interleaved!
92
93 ### 0.20.6 (2016-12-16)
94
95 - Fixed: The `'`, `g[` and `g]` commands no longer crash. (Regression since
96 0.20.5.)
97 - Fixed: The `ef` command can now focus elements in deeply nested frames again.
98 (Regression since 0.19.0.)
99 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` and `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` are now properly
100 undone when reloading a config file (`gC`).
101 - Improved: Hint markers for elements with multiline text no longer cover the
102 text.
103 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @interleaved!
104
105 ### 0.20.5 (2016-12-04)
106
107 - Fixed: Scrolling by holding `d`, `u`, `<space>` or `<s-space>` no longer goes
108 slower and slower (and finally grinding to a halt) on long pages with lots of
109 elements. (See also the [`scroll.repeat_timeout`] pref.)
110 - Improved: All config API functions now validate all their parameters properly.
111 This provides a better user experience, and, most importantly, prevents VimFx
112 from crashing on certain invalid input.
113
114 [`scroll.repeat_timeout`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/58deb3f7b7c470a4d705f1dabf7aa13e095e8d09/documentation/options.md#smooth-scrolling
115
116 ### 0.20.4 (2016-11-16)
117
118 - Fixed: The `n` and `N` commands now work in Firefox’s PDF viewer.
119 - Fixed: The `eb` command can now click the tab bar scroll buttons.
120 - Fixed: Elements marked by the `eb` command now correctly get hints based on
121 their area again.
122 - Improved: The `eb` command now favors the browser tabs and their close
123 buttons, giving them better hints.
124 - Improved: The hints given to the browser tabs by the `eb` command are now
125 consistent no matter how many tabs you have open. This means that the first
126 tab always gets the same hint, the second tab always get the same hint, and so
127 on.
128 - Improved: Hint markers are now placed next to the text of the element if
129 appropriate. For example, the hint marker for a button with centered text is
130 now placed just to the left of the text rather than at the left edge of
131 button. This is nice because it means that hint markers usually end up where
132 you were just reading.
133 - Improved: The positioning of hint markers has been fine-tuned by a pixel or so
134 in some cases.
135 - Improved: Custom styled checkboxes and radio buttons now get hint markers
136 faster (they are now found in the first pass rather than the second).
137 - Improved: Compatibility with the [Tab Center] add-on.
138 - Improved: Blurring the location bar is now more consistent. Previously, its
139 text wasn’t reset if the autocomplete popup was open when you pressed
140 `<escape>` to blur it.
141 - Fixed: An edge case where the wrong hint markers could be highlighted.
142
143 [Tab Center]: https://testpilot.firefox.com/experiments/tab-center/
144
145 ### 0.20.3 (2016-10-22)
146
147 - Improved: Full page scrolling now recognizes the fixed footer on medium.com.
148 - Fixed: Scrollable element can now be focused with the `f` command again (not
149 just with the `ef` command). (Regression since 0.19.0.)
150 - Fixed: `<escape>` is no longer accidentally leaked to the page when used to
151 blur text inputs. This allows blurring text inputs in modals without closing
152 the modal (which `<escape>` commonly does otherwise).
153
154 ### 0.20.2 (2016-10-16)
155
156 - Fixed: Text inputs and links inside frames can now be focused using hint
157 commands again. (Regression since 0.19.0.)
158 - Improved: Previously focused text inputs inside frames no longer steal the
159 focus when entering Caret mode in that frame.
160 - Improved: When several hint markers have the same hint (because their links
161 go to the same place), the _largest_ of those links is now chosen when
162 activating that hint. This might be noticeable via focus styling.
163 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @av2000ii!
164
165 ### 0.20.1 (2016-10-09)
166
167 - Improved: Caret mode is now a bit more robust. It can no longer make you end
168 up with [Firefox’s own Caret mode] accidentally enabled.
169 - Improved: If you try use for example `<ctrl>-j` as a keyboard shortcut, VimFx
170 will now tell you that you probably want `<c-j>` instead.
171 - Fixed: Using a keyboard shortcut to switch keyboard layout in GNOME while
172 inside a text input no longer causes the focus of that text input to be lost
173 when the Prevent autofocus option is enabled.
174 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @av2000ii!
175
176 [Firefox’s own Caret mode]: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Accessibility_features_of_Firefox#Allow_text_to_be_selected_with_the_keyboard
177
178 ### 0.20.0 (2016-10-02)
179
180 - Added: The `g[` and `g]` commands, which let you scroll to previous and next
181 scroll positions of the current page. This is similar to Vim’s jump list.
182 - Added: The `/` mark. Pressing `'/` takes you to the scroll position before the
183 last `/`, `a/` or `g/`.
184 - Fixed: Pressing `''` multiple times in a row now flips back and forth
185 between two scroll positions as expected.
186 - Fixed: Version 0.19.0 claimed to include the following improvement: “The hint
187 marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for a larger
188 element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).” However, a silly
189 mistake caused that improvement not to work. Now it does. For real.
190 - Fixed: All VimFx commands that copy text to the clipboard are now made sure to
191 also copy to the “selection clipboard” (if your system has such a thing). For
192 example, if you copy text using the `yv` command, the `p` command now uses
193 that copied text as expected.
194
195 ### 0.19.1 (2016-09-26)
196
197 - Fixed: The `'` command no longer crashes. (Regression since 0.19.0.)
198
199 ### 0.19.0 (2016-09-25)
200
201 #### Changes and improvements to Hints mode
202
203 **New feature:** Hint markers can now be filtered by element text, similar to
204 Vimium, Vimperator and Pentadactyl. This is useful for people who simply prefer
205 that workflow, and for clicking tiny pagination links (simply type its number!).
206
207 By default, filtering by element text is done by typing _uppercase_ characters
208 (hold down shift!). All characters other than the hint characters are now used
209 to filter hint markers by element text (rather than just being ignored). Do you
210 prefer filtering by element text, but dislike typing uppercase letters? Have a
211 look at how [hint characters] work to make things the other way around!
212
213 The markers with the best hint are now highlighted with a different color. You
214 may at any time press `<enter>` to activate those markers (or `<c-enter>` or
215 `<a-enter>` to change where and how to open links, just like you can hold ctrl
216 or alt for the last hint character).
217
218 Because of the above new features, the following default **Hints mode shortcuts
219 had to be changed:**
220
221 - `<space>` → `<c-space>` (`<s-space>` is left untouched)
222 - `<s->` → `<c-s->` (hold ctrl _and_ shift to peek through hint markers)
223 - `<enter>` → `<up>`
224 - `<c-enter>` → `<c-backspace>`
225
226 To make it easier to see the element text, hint markers are now nudged to the
227 left if they cover the text.
228
229 Other hint marker improvements:
230
231 - Hint markers are now 20% smaller by default. While trying to match text sizes
232 set by your operating system, they ended up a bit too large on most systems.
233 Check out the [Styling] documentation if you’d like to change the font size.
234 - Hint markers now have stronger contrast between the background color and the
235 text color, which should make them easier to read.
236 - The CSS for hint markers have been improved, making it easier to use custom
237 [Styling].
238 - When several elements have the same area, the best hint is now correctly given
239 to the _first_ of those elements. Previously, it happened to be the other way
240 around.
241 - The hint marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for
242 a larger element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).
243 - Hint markers are now better positioned when having zoomed the page in or out.
244 - Hints mode is now more robust in general. Several race conditions have been
245 fixed.

249
250 #### Other updates
251
252 - Added: The ability to **export, import and reset all** VimFx options. There
253 are three shiny new buttons for this in VimFx’s options page in the Add-ons
254 Manager!
255 - Added: The `gB` command, which lets you **quickly blacklist** (and
256 un-blacklist) sites.
257 - Added: The `ec` command, for opening the context menu of elements.
258 - Added: The `ep` command, for opening links in new private windows.
259 - Improved: `h`, `l`, `j` and `k` now feel more like scrolling with the arrow
260 keys when held down, by boosting the scrolling speed. See the
261 [`scroll.horizontal_boost` and `scroll.vertical_boost`][scroll-boost] options
262 for more information.
263 - Fixed: VimFx’s find bar integration is now much more robust. Most notably, if
264 you start typing directly after pressing `/` and Firefox is slow at opening
265 the find bar, your keypresses can no longer trigger VimFx commands or Firefox
266 built-in commands.
267 - Improved: VimFx no longer leaks keypresses to the web page in some modes. (For
268 example, counts in Caret mode).
269 - Improved: The `eb` command now finds more clickable elements in the devtools.
270 - Changed: `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` no longer lets you easily break for example
271 Hints mode, by now only being applied to Normal mode. You might need to change
272 your matchers from `(location, mode) => ...` to simply `location => ...`.
273 (Breaking API change.)
274 - Changed: The object passed to custom commands (and custom modes) no longer
275 contains a `uiEvent` property. Instead, there’s an `event` property. This
276 property can be used the same way if you check `vim.isUIEvent(event)` first.
277 (Breaking API change.)
278
279 [scroll-boost]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8bafdf0454043c1630bac8b13d13f1fb4e5ee9e7/documentation/options.md#scrollhorizontal_boost-and-scrollvertical_boost
280
281 ### 0.18.1 (2016-08-27)
282
283 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` no longer crashes on startup.
284 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` can now override the `prevent_autofocus`
285 pref again.
286
287 ### 0.18.0 (2016-08-20)
288
289 #### Changed default shortcuts
290
291 Some default keyboard shortcuts have been changed.
292
293 - Hint commands. Many of the old ones were difficult to remember, and there was
294 no space for adding new ones.
295
296 - `gf` → `et` (t as in tab)
297 - `gF` → `ew` (w as in window)
298 - `zf` → `ef` (f as in focus)
299 - `zF` → `eb` (b as in browser)
300 - `zv` → `av` (you actually select _all_ of the element’s text)
301
302 (`f`, `yf`, `af`, `v` and `yv` stay unchanged.)
303
304 There is a longer [explanation of these new defaults][hint-shortcuts] in the
305 documentation.
306
307 - `zr` → `gC`. `zr` was the only shortcut starting with `z`. This frees that key
308 up for other uses.
309
310 - `` ` `` → `'`. The `` ` `` shortcut (“scroll to mark”) as well as the `` ` ``
311 mark (“last position mark”) have both been changed to `'`. Both `` ` `` and
312 `'` are used in Vim. `'` is a better default, because it is easier to
313 type–both on an en-US QWERTY keyboard and, more importantly, on some
314 international layouts, such as the sv-SE QWERTY layout.
315
316 Note: If you miss Firefox’s default `'` shortcut to open the Quick Find bar
317 (which is now overridden), remember that VimFx provides `g/` which does the
318 same thing. (You can of course also change VimFx’s shortcuts.)
319
320 See also issue [#788].

323 [#788]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/issues/788
324
325 #### Other updates
326
327 - Added: It is now possible to create [custom hint commands].
328 - Fixed: The bottom-right corner of the page scrollbars can now be used with the
329 mouse again.
330 - Fixed: The toolbar button now correctly toggles VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts
331 dialog again.
332 - Updated locales: fr, ru. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r) and Nicholas
333 Guriev (@mymedia2)!
334
335 [custom hint commands]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/e8d9df31dd5c8df999ac22e3b3b8d548a68c6fa7/documentation/api.md#custom-hint-commands
336
337 ### 0.17.4 (2016-07-11)
338
339 - Improved: The usage of modifier keys in Hints mode is now shown in VimFx’s
340 Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog. The functionality has been there for a long
341 time, but should now be easier to find. Thanks to our awesome translators,
342 the new help text is already available in most supported locales!
343 - Improved: If you submit a form while still being inside one of its text
344 inputs, that text input is now automatically blurred. This lets you use VimFx
345 commands while waiting for the form to submit without having to press
346 `<escape>` first.
347 - Improved: The `gu` command now works better on some pages, by preserving a
348 trailing slash. Thanks to @sinkuu!
349 - Improved: VimFx now recognizes text areas in the TYPO3 CMS.
350 - Improved: The `<escape>` command and the toolbar button now let you escape
351 back to Normal mode if VimFx ever gets stuck thinking that you are typing in a
352 text input.
353
354 ### 0.17.3 (2016-06-27)
355
356 - Improved: The `zF` command can now open even more dropdown menus of buttons.
357
358 ### 0.17.2 (2016-06-19)
359
360 - Improved: The `zF` command now works with more buttons and is able to open
361 dropdown menus of buttons.
362 - Fixed: The `f` commands now recognize more file upload buttons.
363 - Fixed: Rotating hint markers now works more as expected after having entered a
364 few hint chars.
365 - Fixed: Scrolling now works in SVG documents.
366 - Fixed: Opening links in new tabs in Firefox 50.
367 - Updated locales: pt-BR and ru. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)
368 and Nicholas Guriev (@mymedia2)!
369
370 ### 0.17.1 (2016-06-12)
371
372 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer accidentally double-clicks instead of
373 single-clicking. Thanks to Alan Wu (@XrXr)!
374 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer crashes in Firefox 49+.
375 - Fixed: The “URL popup,” shown when hovering or focusing links, now appears
376 again when focusing links using `zf` (regression since 0.17.0).
377 - Updated locale: it. Thanks to Carlo Bertoldi (@cbertoldi)!
378
379 ### 0.17.0 (2016-06-08)
380
381 - Fixed: VimFx no longer scrolls smaller elements on a page instead of the
382 entire page on some sites.
383 - Improved: The `/`, `n` and `N` have been drastically sped up (when
384 [`find_from_top_of_viewport`][find_from_top_of_viewport-1] is on). Previously,
385 they appeared to freeze on some sites, but not anymore.
386 - Improved: You can no longer accidentally trigger VimFx between pressing `/`
387 and the find bar input being is focused.
388 - Improved: The `n` and `N` commands are now more robust.
389 - Improved: “Fullscreen” buttons and “Copy to clipboard” buttons can now be
390 activated the `f` command. Thanks to Alan Wu (@XrXr)!
391 - Changed: After having pressed `m` or `` ` `` VimFx no longer waits
392 indefinitely for you to press a mark key. Instead, the [timeout] option is
393 honored.
394 - Changed: After having pressed `m` or `` ` `` you can now press `<escape>` to
395 abort those commands.
396 - Changed: Find mode is no longer shown in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
397 dialog, to reduce clutter. (This can be changed through custom
398 [styling][styling-1].)
399 - Changed: The `?` command as well as the toolbar button now _toggle_ VimFx’s
400 Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (instead of always showing it, even if it was
401 already shown.)
402 - Changed: Counts are now ignored in Ignore mode. Previously, pressing number
403 keys would both send those key presses to the page _and_ contribute to the
404 count for commands (showing up in the bottom-right corner). This is no longer
405 the case.
406 - Updated locales: fr, zh-CN and zh-TW. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r),
407 @av2000ii and Robert Wang (@cyberrob)!

412
413 ### 0.16.1 (2016-05-29)
414
415 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer crashes (regression since 0.16.0).
416
417 ### 0.16.0 (2016-05-29)
418
419 - Fixed: The text input focus detection problems introduced in 0.15.1, which
420 sometimes caused VimFx commands to be triggered while typing in text inputs,
421 have been fixed.
422 - Improved: If you press `n` or `N` when there are are no matches for your
423 search, the find bar is no longer opened. Only a notification is shown. The
424 reliability of those notifications has also been improved.
425 - Improved: Hints mode now finds more links.
426 - Improved: Pressing `<c-enter>` in Hints mode now includes more elements.
427 - Updated locales: es, zh-CN. Thanks to @strel and @av2000ii!
428
429 ### 0.15.1 (2016-05-22)
430
431 - Improved: Better hints on Twitter.
432 - Improved: Compatibility with the [Evernote Web Clipper] add-on (and
433 potentially other add-ons with similar UI).
434 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!

438 ### 0.15.0 (2016-05-18)
439
440 - Improved: Hint markers now appear up to twice as fast on many pages. This is
441 done by creating the hint markers in two phases. Most are created in the
442 first, fast, phase. The rest take the same time as older VimFx versions to
443 show up.
444 - Fixed: VimFx no longer triggers commands while typing in fancy text inputs on
445 some sites, such as when composing a new tweet on Twitter. (See also the
446 [`blur_timeout`] pref.)
447 - Changed: The `<c-enter>` Hints mode command no longer _replaces_ all hint
448 markers on screen (with new ones for all elements on screen). Instead, it
449 _toggles_ your current hint markers with ones for all _other_ elements on
450 screen.
451 - Changed: There was a breaking change to the [`vimfx.setHintMatcher`] function
452 of the `frame.js` config file API. It no longer receives and returns an object
453 (of the shape `{type, semantic}`), but instead simply receives and returns the
454 `type` of the element.
455 - Improved: Some internal robustness refactoring.
456 - Updated locales: de, id, nl and zh-CN. Thanks to @just-barcodes, Yoppy
457 Halilintar (@comepradz), @HJTP, @av2000ii and @mozillazg.

461
462 ### 0.14.3 (2016-05-08)
463
464 - Fixed: Version 0.14.2 attempted to fix smooth scrolling speed in newer Firefox
465 versions. However, there was a tiny typo that caused the fix not to work. That
466 typo has been corrected.
467
468 ### 0.14.2 (2016-05-08)
469
470 - Fixed: Smooth scrolling speed is now correct again in newer Firefox versions.
471 - Fixed: The `yv` Caret mode command now only copies text that you can see on
472 screen (not any hidden text that might be on the page), making it truly work
473 like `zv` followed by `y`, as intended. This problem was very noticeable on
474 Slack. This also improves copying of 'contenteditable' elements using `yf`.
475 - Fixed: `<escape>` and arrow key handling as well as hint markers in the
476 devtools now work correctly again in newer Firefox versions.
477 - Fixed: VimFx no longer makes it impossible to open the Developer Toolbar.
478 - Improved: VimFx now ignores `<numlock>` and `<capslock>`. If your keyboard
479 sends `<numlock>` before some symbols, such as `<numlock>$` instead of just
480 `$`, shortcuts like `gx$` now work out of the box. This also means that you
481 can use `<capslock>` instead of `<shift>` when typing the `J` in `gJ`, for
482 example.
483 - Improved: Some minor cosmetic tweaks in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
484 dialog.
485
486 ### 0.14.1 (2016-04-30)
487
488 - Fixed: The Find commands (such as `/`, `n` and `N`) no longer crash on some
489 sites (regression since 0.14.0).
490
491 ### 0.14.0 (2016-04-29)
492
493 - Added: [Caret mode], which lets you copy text from web pages using the
494 keyboard.
495 - Improved: The Find commands (such as `/`, `n` and `N`) now search from the top
496 of the viewport, instead of from the top of the document, which is more
497 Vim-like and less disorienting. To read more about it (or to return to the
498 Firefox default behavior) please see the [`find_from_top_of_viewport`] pref.
499 - Improved: Compatibility with the [BackTrack Tab History] add-on.
500 - Added: The `<c-enter>` Hints mode command, which creates hint markers for
501 _all_ elements.
502 - Fixed: `__dirname` inside config files now works on Windows. Thanks to
503 Zhong Jianxin (@azuwis)!
504 - Fixed: Unnecessary full-page hint markers on some sites, such as Hackernews,
505 no longer appear.

510
511 ### 0.13.2 (2016-04-08)
512
513 - Improved: The “last position mark” `` ` `` now works more reliably.
514 - Improved: More video players are now recognized. Many video players lets you
515 press `<space>` while focused to toggle play/pause. VimFx tries to detect if
516 the currently focused element is a video player. If so, `<space>` is passed to
517 the video player instead of scrolling the page. (For those interested, see
518 also the [`adjustable_element_keys`] pref.)
519
520 [`adjustable_element_keys`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/645e35d7d82019b0551534c43926bc126e7105bd/documentation/options.md#adjustable_element_keys
521
522 ### 0.13.1 (2016-04-01)
523
524 - Fixed: Blacklisting of some XUL pages.
525 - Fixed: The current mode is no longer lost when a page loads. For example, if
526 you press `zF` while a page is loading, the markers no longer disappear.
527 - Fixed: Elements that you have focused using an `f` command no longer get stuck
528 appearing as if you’d put the mouse pointer.
529 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @mozillazg!
530
531 ### 0.13.0 (2016-03-19)
532
533 - Added: The `T` command, which opens a new tab after the current.
534 - Changed: The `gl` command now deals with _visited_ tabs only.
535 - Added: The [`gL`] command, which deals with <em>un</em>visited tabs only, in
536 oldest-first order. Use this to step through your unvisited background tabs in
537 the order you opened them (for example using the `F` command).
538 - Improved: The `gi` command no longer tries to focus the last focused text
539 input if it has been removed from the page. If so, it finds a new one instead.
540 - Fixed: You can now type in sidebar text inputs (such as in the history
541 sidebar) without having to switch to Ignore mode.
542 - Changed: If you enter Ignore mode you will now stay in Ignore mode in that tab
543 until you explicitly exit it (by pressing `<s-escape>`), even if you reload
544 the page or follow a link. If Ignore mode was entered automatically because of
545 the [blacklist][blacklist-2], though, you will be automatically returned to
546 Normal mode if
547 the URL changes to a non-blacklisted page.
548 - Added: VimFx can now automatically enter and exit Ignore mode based on the
549 currently focused element. Currently, the [wasavi] extension as well as
550 [CodeMirror] in Vim mode are detected. Both of those provide Vim-style
551 editors. This allows sending `<escape>` to those editors in order to exit
552 their Insert mode, without blurring the editor.
553 - Improved: CodeMirror editors now get better hints, keeping the cursor where
554 you left it.
555 - Improved: The [blacklist][blacklist-2] is now applied faster on some pages.
556 - Improved: Many audio and video elements are now recognized as “adjustable”,
557 allowing you to press for example `<space>` on them to toggle play/pause,
558 without scrolling the page.
559 - Improved: Scrolling by pages, such as using the `<space>` command, now takes
560 fixed heaears and footers into account, just like Firefox does.
561 - Fixed: Access keys now work correctly in context menus in the devtools and
562 `about:config`.
563 - Improved: The arrow keys now Just Work in the devtools, even if you have bound
564 them to VimFx commands.
565 - Changed: The public API has been removed, and turned into the Config file API.
566 If you were already using a config file, it will no longer work. You need to
567 set up a new one, but you should be able to simply copy and paste the contents
568 of the old one into the new one. Read the [config file] documentation for more
569 information.
570 - Changed: There are a few minor breaking changes to the API, though I doubt it
571 will affect anyone.
572 - If you use [`vimfx.on`], you probably need to adjust the arguments of the
573 your callbacks. They are now _always_ passed an object of data, instead of
574 sometimes passing the data directly.
575 - `match.focus` of [match object]s has been removed, and replaced by
576 `vim.focusType` of [vim object]s.
577 - Fixed: The toolbar button’s icon is now correctly sized when setting
578 `layout.css.devPixelsPerPx` to `2`. Thanks to Robert Ma (@Hexcles) and Dale
579 Whinham (@dwhinham)!
580 - Fixed: Find commands now work when the find bar was opened before the page had
581 finished loading.
582 - Improved: Lots of internal improvements. This should make VimFx faster, more
583 reliable and more responsive.
584 - All keyboard event handling (except `<late>` shortcuts) are now handled in
585 the UI process, instead of mostly in each tab’s web page content process.
586 This should make VimFx’s shortcuts more reliable and responsive.
587 - Removed all synchronous message passing (execpt for `<late>` keypresses).
588 Mozilla recommends using them only where absolutely necessary. Turns out
589 VimFx doesn’t need them anymore!
590 - The `f` commands are now more reliable. Before, they could crash on rare
591 occasions (on certain web pages), but that is less likely now.
592 - Less `MutationObserver`s are now used. This should improve performance.
593 - Less uncaught errors (especially on shutdown).
594 - Lots of minor improvements.
595 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!

605
606 ### 0.12.0 (2016-02-03)
607
608 - Improved: More clickable elements are now recognized. Most notably, elements
609 with click event listeners added by JavaScript now get hints.
610 - Improved: Autofocus prevention after using the `[` and `]` commands.
611 - Added: In VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (which can be opened by
612 pressing `?`) you can now click on any command to open VimFx’s settings page
613 in the Add-ons Manager and automatically select the text input for that
614 command, letting you edit its shortcuts. Tip: Use the `zF` command to click
615 without using the mouse.
616 - Changed: Autofocus is no longer prevented in Firefox internal pages, such as
617 `about:preferences`, `about:addons` and `about:config` (as well as other XUL
618 pages).
619 - Fixed: VimFx and the Beyond Australis extension do not conflict with each
620 other anymore.
621 - Fixed: The `gH` command no longer nags you about “No back/forward history”
622 even though there is.
623 - Added: The `gl` command now takes a [count][gl-count].
624 - Improved: Optimized CPU usage in Hints mode. (See also the [`hints_sleep`]
625 pref.)
626 - Improved: The `H` and `L` commands should now be more reliable in Firefox 43
627 and later.
628 - Changed: There was a tiny breaking change to the Public API, though I doubt it
629 will affect anyone. (See [commit 0ca807605e] if you’re especially interested.)
630 - Improved: _Several_ minor things, and some really nice internal refactoring.
631 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
632
633 [`hints_sleep`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/92b483c4a4f6da0b2c998267e0f01d3d999f93b6/documentation/options.md#hints_sleep

636
637 ### 0.11.0 (2016-01-15)
638
639 - Fixed: The `` ` `` command is no longer broken.
640 - Fixed: Memory leak.
641 - Added: The `gl` command, which takes you to the most recent tab.
642 - Improved: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now scrollable using VimFx’s
643 scrolling commands. To allow for this, the search field is no longer
644 autofocused. Instead, press `/` to open it.
645 - Improved: Using the `f` commands, such as `f` and `zf`, now works like
646 actually moving your mouse onto the link, making hover menus and such-like
647 appear.
648 - Improved: VimFx should now work better with Google Drive Documents, Etherpad
649 and a few other fancy text editors.
650 - Improved: The `]` command now works on google.com.
651 - Improved: Checkboxes and menu items on gmail.com are now given hints by the
652 `f` command.
653 - Improved: The `gi` command now also recognizes 'contenteditable' elements.
654 - Improved: Hint markers now move along together with their elements.
655 - Fixed: Hint markers should now be correctly positioned when zooming.
656 - Fixed: The toolbar button icon should now look correctly on Retina screens.
657 - Added: You may now disable counts by using toggling the [`counts_enabled`]
658 pref.
659 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
660 - Improved: Several minor things.
661
662 [`counts_enabled`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8dae7aec9008595da31b939d5ae2d239849cf6dc/documentation/options.md#counts_enabled
663
664 ### 0.10.0 (2015-12-09)
665
666 - Added: The `zF` command, which lets you click browser elements.
667 - Improved: The scrolling commands can now scroll browser elements (in other
668 words, not only web page content), by first selecting the scollable element
669 using `zF`.
670 - Added: The `gr` command, which toggles [Reader View].
671 - Added: The `gX` command, which opens the Recently Closed Tabs menu at the
672 middle of the screen.
673 - Added: The keys you’ve typed so far of a command, as well the count, are now
674 shown in a [notification]. (You may disable this using the
675 [`notify_entered_keys`] pref.)
676 - Improved: When commands don’t do anything, they show a [notification] instead,
677 letting you know that you actually pressed the right keys. For example, if you
678 press `f` but there are no markable elements visible, a notification is shown
679 telling you so, instead of silently doing nothing.
680 - Improved: `<space>` now scrolls _about a line less_ than a full page, just
681 like Firefox does by default. `d` scroll about _half_ a line less (by
682 default), so that pressing `d` twice works like pressing `<space>` once. (See
683 the [`scroll.full_page_adjustment` and `scroll.half_page_adjustment`] prefs
684 for more information.)
685 - Improved: `gi` now only selects all text in its text input if you haven’t
686 focused a text input yet (allowing you to easily replace pre-filled text),
687 instead of _always_ doing so. Otherwise, it now puts the cursor where you left
688 off typing the last time.
689 - Fixed: The `f` commands now put the cursor where you left off typing the last
690 time when focusing a text input. Previously, they accidentally selected all
691 text in the text input (use `zf` for that behavior).
692 - Fixed: Yet a scrolling fix. VimFx’s scrolling commands should now “just work”
693 on even more sites.
694 - Fixed: AltGr should now work out of the box on Windows. (See the
695 [`ignore_ctrl_alt`] pref for more information.)
696 - Removed: The el-GR, hu and pl locales were sadly too out of date to be useful,
697 and nobody has shown interest in updating them, so they were removed.
698 - Updated locales: id, de and zh-CN. Thanks to Yoppy Halilintar, @just-barcodes
699 and @mozillazg!
700 - Fixed: Several tiny bugs.
701
702 [Reader View]: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/firefox-reader-view-clutter-free-web-pages

707
708 ### 0.9.0 (2015-12-02)
709
710 - Fixed: Links with the `onclick` attribute can now be opened in new tabs again.
711 (Regression since 0.8.0.)
712 - Fixed: The text size in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now
713 correctly resized.
714 - Added: The `gH` command. It opens the back/forward button context menu in the
715 middle of the window, allowing you to choose a history entry with the arrow
716 keys and `<enter>`.
717
718 ### 0.8.0 (2015-12-01)
719
720 - Fixed: VimFx now works properly in tabs moved to other windows.
721 - Fixed: An unreliable check for multi-process mode has been eliminated, fixing
722 various problems for some users.
723 - Fixed: VimFx’s toolbar button now changes color correctly when switching
724 between blacklisted and non-blacklisted tabs.
725 - Fixed: Dead keys now work out of the box on Windows.
726 - Improved: Links with the `onclick` attribute (abused as buttons) can no longer
727 get the same hint as another link.
728 - Added: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (shown by pressing `?`) is now
729 searchable.
730 - Added: The `g/` command. It’s like `/` but searches links only.
731
732 - Added: [Marks].
733
734 - Use `ma` to mark the current scroll position and `` `a `` to return to it.
735 (You may substitute `a` with any key press.)
736 - Use ``` `` ``` to return to the position before the last `gg`, `G`, `0`,
737 `$`, `/`, `n`, `N` or `` ` ``. (You can change this mark using the
738 [`last_scroll_position_mark`] pref.)
739
740 - Added: Window commands.
741
742 - `w`: Open new window.
743 - `W`: Open new private window.
744 - `gw`: Move tab to new window.
745 - `gF`: Follow link in new window.
746
747 [Marks]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/47fc699ce8217ee90af4d12e81f102f2bea09d61/documentation/commands.md#marks-m-and-

749
750 ### 0.7.3 (2015-11-22)
751
752 - Fixed: Scrolling now works correctly in pages in quirks mode (lacking a
753 doctype), such as Hackernews.
754 - Improved: The largest scrollable element is now detected better in frames.
755 - Fixed: Hints mode now exits correctly when focusing a text input using `af`,
756 or `f` with a count.
757
758 ### 0.7.2 (2015-11-21)
759
760 - Fixed: The blinking text caret now always appears correctly when focusing text
761 inputs.
762
763 ### 0.7.1 (2015-11-21)
764
765 - Fixed: The scrolling commands should now “just work” when using non-default
766 zoom or DPI settings, most notably on Google Groups.
767
768 ### 0.7.0 (2015-11-19)
769
770 - Changed: Instead of using system notifications, which turned out to be a bit
771 too intrusive, [notifications] are now similar to the “URL popup” (shown when
772 hovering or focusing links) but are placed on the opposite side,.
773 - Changed: The “Focus next element” and “Focus previous element” commands have
774 been removed. The reason they existed was to let `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` only
775 cycle between text inputs (as opposed to _all_ focusable elements) after
776 you’ve pressed `gi`. Now, `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` are handled specially instead,
777 and _only_ after pressing `gi`. The reason for this change is that the now
778 removed commands were too intrusive, breaking user habits. One of VimFx’s main
779 goal is _not_ to do that. (You can turn the special handling of `<tab>` and
780 `<s-tab>` off using the the new [`focus_previous_key` and `focus_next_key`]
781 prefs.)
782 - Fixed: The scrolling commands should now “just work” in a lot more situations,
783 most notably on Gmail and Google Groups. More scrollable elements are also
784 recognized by the `f` and `zf` commands.
785 - Improved: The right border of hint markers for scrollable elements is now
786 styled to remind of a scroll bar, making them easier to recognize among hints
787 for links.
788 - Improved/Changed: `J` and `gJ` now allow a count on the first tab.
789 Consequently, `K` and `gK` now allow a count on the _last_ tab.
790 - Changed: `gJ` and `gK` can no longer be used to pin or unpin tabs. They now
791 only wrap around tabs of the same pinned state. Use `gp` to toggle between
792 pinned and non-pinned.
793 - Fixed: Many elements that got a hint before VimFx 0.6.0 now do again.
794 - Improved: Comment fields on Facebook can now be focused using `f` and blurred
795 using `<escape>`.
796 - Improved: VimFx’s toolbar button is no greyed out when you focus a text input.
797 This is to show that your key presses will be passed into the text input
798 rather than activating VimFx commands.
799 - Added: [`g0`, `g^` and `g$` now accept counts][tab-index-counts], allowing you
800 to go to tab number _count._
801 - Improved: `gi` now finds text inputs inside frames.
802 - Fixed: “gi mode” is now exited properly when blurring a text input.
803 - Fixed: `<select>` elements are no longer considered to be text inputs when
804 using `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` in “gi mode.”
805 - Fixed: Using `<force>` or `<late>` in a shortcut no longer applies to _every_
806 shortcut for the command, but only that shortcut.
807 - Fixed: The order of the Previous/Next page patterns is now respected. This
808 caused the wrong link to be picked by the `[` and `]` commands on some pages.

814 ### 0.6.2 (2015-11-11)
815
816 - Improved: If the entire page isn’t scrollable, the largest scrollable element
817 is scrolled instead.
818 - Fixed: VimFx’s keyboard shortcuts now works on slowly loading pages.
819 - Fixed: Numbers may now be used as shortcut keys (overriding counts).
820 - Fixed: The toolbar button’s icon is now correctly sized in high DPI.
821 - Fixed: Hint markers are now correctly positioned when zooming using the “Zoom
822 text only” option.
823 - Fixed: The `P` command now works with the InstantFox add-on.
824
825 ### 0.6.1 (2015-11-10)
826
827 - Fixed: If you customized the “esc” command before VimFx 0.6.0 it should now
828 work as expected.
829 - Fixed: `<tab>` now works as expected in the location bar and in the dev tools.
830 - Fixed: Light-weight themes can no longer make VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
831 dialog and hint markers unreadable.
832 - Added: The [notifications\_enabled] option.
833
834 [notifications\_enabled]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/56c4b7c514ea8b58d2cdcecf3d2654648c48ca31/documentation/options.md#notifications_enabled
835
836 ### 0.6.0 (2015-11-09)
837
838 ##### Most important (breaking) changes
839
840 - VimFx now works properly with **any keyboard layout.** Users of **multiple
841 layouts** should enable the **[ignore keyboard layout] option.** #249 #259
842
843 - Features related to disabling VimFx, and to the [toolbar button]:
844
845 - **Insert Mode** has been renamed to **_Ignore_ mode.**
846 - **[Blacklisted][blacklist] sites** now **enter Ignore mode automatically,**
847 instead of being specially handled.
848 - The feature to click the toolbar button (or press `<a-V>`) to **disable
849 VimFx** has been **removed.** Use **Ignore mode** (`i`) and the
850 **[blacklist] instead.**
851 - The **toolbar button** is now **red in Ignore mode** (which also means that
852 it is red on blacklisted sites) and green otherwise (never grey anymore).
853 - The toolbar button no longer offers to (un-)blacklist the current domain.
854 (Head into VimFx’s settings page in the Add-ons Manager and add
855 `*currentdomain.com*` to the [blacklist] option yourself instead.)
856
857 (See [commit 3552282] for more information.)
858
859 - **Some default shortcuts have changed,** mostly because they conflicted with
860 standard Firefox shortcuts: #308
861
862 - `<c-J>` → `gJ`
863
864 - `<c-K>` → `gK`
865
866 - `g^` and `gH` → `g0`
867
868 `g^` now selects the first _non pinned_ tab instead, while `g0`
869 selects the first tab regardless of whether it is pinned or not. #317
870
871 - `<c-e>` (alias for `j`) and `<c-y>` (alias for `k`) have been removed.
872
873 - `<c-f>` → `<space>` and `<c-b>` → `<s-space>`
874
875 - `vf` → `zf`
876
877 This frees up `v` for future shortcuts (instead making `z` a
878 “namespace” key, just like in Vim).
879
880 - To **exit Ignore mode:** `<escape>` → `<s-escape>`. This is because Ignore
881 mode has replaced the disable feature, as well as the special blacklist
882 state (see above). Sites are likely to use `<escape>` but not `<s-escape>`.
883 (In a way, this new role of Ignore mode also means that the old (many times
884 broken) shortcut to disable VimFx (`<a-V>`) has been replaced by `i`.) #64
885 \#375 #432
886
887 - VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now help only, and more accessible.
888 To **customize keyboard shortcuts,** go to VimFx’s settings page **in the
889 Add-ons Manager,** just like you would to customize other settings. Also,
890 **commas** between every key are **no longer needed:** Type `gJ` instead of
891 `g,J`.
892
893 - For performance reasons, **Hint markers** are now placed vertically **centered
894 instead of at the top** of the element. Don’t be surprised if you see the same
895 hint repeated several times**—links that go to the same place now get the same
896 hint.** The “Smart hints” option has been removed—hints are _always_ smart
897 now, and a lot smarter than before. Finally, hints now also work in the new
898 tab page, the Add-ons Manager and the preferences page. If you want to, you
899 can read more about [the `f` commands]. \#51 #60 #176 #320 #325 #468 #471 #475
900
901 - The **`F`** command now _always_ opens tabs in new **background** tabs, while
902 **`gf`** has been added to open tabs in new **foreground** tabs. #227 #464
903
904 - **Autofocus prevention** is now **off by default.** One of VimFx’s core
905 philosophies is to be nice to your browser habits. Some find autofocus
906 prevention too big a change. Turn it on again if you like it! By the way,
907 autofocus prevention now works much more reliably and should not cause issues
908 with other extensions. #497 #541
909
910 - The **“Scroll step”** option has been **removed**. The scrolling commands that
911 used it now **work like the arrow keys instead,** and are customized just like
912 them. See [scrolling prefs] for more information.
913
914 - Speaking of scrolling, **which elements scrolls** when you use VimFx’s
915 scrolling commands **has changed.** See [scrolling commands] for more
916 information.
917
918 ##### New features
919
920 - New commands:
921
922 - `gp` pins or unpins the current tab. (Also see `g^` and `g0` mentioned
923 above.) #121
924 - `yt` duplicates the current tab. #121
925 - `0` and `^` scroll to the far left, and `$` scrolls to the far right.
926 - [`gi`] has finally been implemented. #47
927 - [Ignore mode `<s-f1>`] let you run a Normal mode command without exiting
928 Ignore mode.
929
930 - In Hints mode you can now hold ctrl and alt to change behavior of the matched
931 marker. Hold shift to temporarily make the hints see-through. See [the `f`
932 commands] for more information. #220 #421 #484
933
934 - Some commands now accept [counts]. #374
935
936 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that work inside text inputs. See the
937 [`<force>`] key for more information. #258
938
939 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that the page can override. See the
940 [`<late>`] key for more information.
941
942 - A number of [advanced options] have been added. Rather than listing everything
943 regarding them here, follow that link if you’re interested. #452 #489
944
945 - You may now, if you want to, configure VimFx through a [config file], using
946 the new [public API]. Customizing VimFx through a config file also gives extra
947 abilities, such as [site-specific options][option-overrides] and [disabling
948 certain commands on certain sites][key-overrides]. It also allows to add
949 [custom commands] \(and other extensions to extend VimFx). #158 #235 #255 #261
950 \#300 #408 #445 #490 #515
951
952 - It is now easier to customize VimFx through custom [styling]. An example is
953 changing the way hint markers look. #220 #233 #424 #432 #465
954
955 - VimFx now has [documentation] and a [wiki].
956
957 - A few new locales were added:
958
959 - fr. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r)!
960 - pt-BR. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)!
961 - sv-SE. Thanks to Andreas Lindhé (@lindhe)!
962
963 ##### Improvements
964
965 - VimFx is now multi-process/Electrolysis/e10s compatible! This means that you
966 can run VimFx on a version of Firefox with multi-process enabled without
967 issues, and that we’re future proof for the day when Firefox becomes
968 multi-process by default. Best of all, it also made VimFx more reliable in
969 non-multi-process (“regular”) Firefox. #378
970
971 - The `[` and `]` commands are now smarter, recognizing more links to the
972 previous/next page correctly. You may read more about [previous/next page
973 patterns]. #396
974
975 - The `n` and `N` commands now notify you when they wrap around the page, or the
976 phrase you searched for could not be found. #398
977
978 - _All_ shortcuts in _all modes_ can now be customized. For example, this allows
979 you to disable VimFx’s Vim-style `<enter>` behavior in the find bar. #222 #390
980 \#421
981
982 - The `p` and `P` commands are now smarter regarding whether to treat the
983 clipboard contents as a URL or a search, by working exactly like pasting in
984 the location bar. They also now read the selection clipboard, if available.
985 \#353 #382
986
987 - VimFx’s toolbar button is now properly implemented. #303 #349 #383
988
989 - Most locales were updated. Thanks to our awesome [translators]!
990
991 ##### Minor bug fixes
992
993 - VimFx now works correctly in tabs dragged to other windows. #57
994 - The `p` command is no longer broken. #494
995 - Non-ASCII shortcut keys now work properly. #433
996 - The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog can no longer be covered by page elements.
997 \#477
998 - Hint markers can no longer be covered by page elements.
999 - VimFx no longer causes scripts on icloud.com to get stuck in an infinite loop.

1025
1026 ### 0.5.17 (2015-01-23)
1027
1028 - Fixed: The hints generation no longer crashes on some pages (regression since
1029 version 0.5.15).
1030
1031 ### 0.5.16 (2015-01-22)
1032
1033 - Fixed: The toolbar button no longer throws errors. (This fix should have been
1034 in 0.5.15 but was forgotten. Luckily an AMO reviewer found it.)
1035
1036 ### 0.5.15 (2015-01-21)
1037
1038 - Improved: This version is now forwards-compatible with the upcoming version
1039 0.6.0. Downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.14 or older might cause VimFx to crash,
1040 but downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.15 is safe.
1041 - Fixed: Non-hintchars key presses in hints mode are now suppressed. They used
1042 to be passed along to the browser, which could confusingly activate site
1043 commands.
1044 - Fixed: The 'f' command now always opens links in the same tab. Links used to
1045 be able to force a new tab or window.
1046 - Fixed: Pressing 'Esc' in the location bar now restores the URL, as is the
1047 default behaviour of Firefox. You may now also close Firefox dialogs using
1048 'Esc'.
1049 - Improved: Updated the de locale. Thanks to Alexander Haeussler!
1050 - Improved: Updated the pl locale. Thanks to morethanoneanimal!
1051
1052 ### 0.5.14 (2014-08-16)
1053
1054 - Fixed: Locales should now work properly.
1055 - Improved: Updated the zh-CN locale (@mozillazg).
1056 - Improved: Updated the de locale (@Kambfhase).
1057 - Added: Japanese locale (@pluser).
1058 - Fixed: If you switched to another tab or window while an `<input>` element
1059 was focused and then switched back, the `<input>` element got blurred, while
1060 it should have stayed focused. This caused the auto-type feature of KeePassX
1061 to break.
1062
1063 ### 0.5.13 (2014-08-02)
1064
1065 - Fixed: The vote button on StackExchange sites are now markable again.
1066 - Improved: Detection of previous/next links. Should work better on gmail now.
1067 - Fixed: It is now possible to use Enter/Return in keyboard shortcuts.
1068 - Improved: The n/N commands (etc.) now work even if you didn’t open the finbar
1069 using the VimFx command (such as the default key binding ctrl+f, or by
1070 clicking a menu item).
1071 - Improved: It is now possible to blur text inputs without sending Esc to the
1072 page, which could cause dialogs etc. to annoyingly close.
1073 - Improved: Updated the el-GR locale (@sirodoht).
1074 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention sometimes made text inputs impossible to focus
1075 until you reloaded the page.
1076 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now works on more sites than before.
1077 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now prevents _all_ automatic focusing (not
1078 just when the page loads). This makes devdocs.io much easier to use.
1079 - Added: When viewing images directly and the image has been resized to fit the
1080 screen the image is now markable, allowing you to toggle zoom on it using the
1081 keyboard.
1082 - Fixed: It is no longer possible to add conflicting shortcuts (such as adding
1083 'a' when 'af' and 'as' are already present).
1084
1085 ### 0.5.12 (2014-06-01)
1086
1087 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention got stuck sometimes, making it impossible to
1088 focus inputs.
1089
1090 ### 0.5.11 (2014-06-01)
1091
1092 - Fixed: The focus search bar command was broken.
1093 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention was broken.
1094 - Fixed: The top bar on YouTube could not be accessed by VimFx.
1095 - Fixed: You can no longer add blank hotkeys.
1096 - Improved: Tab Groups are supported.
1097 - Improved: Matching of previous/next links should be more reliable.
1098 - Improved: A few minor things.
1099
1100 ### 0.5.10 (2014-05-07)
1101
1102 - Fixed yet another bug related to the default preferences
1103
1104 ### 0.5.9 (2014-05-04)
1105
1106 - Fixed a bug with default preferences not being set
1107 - Fixed gg and G to be faster
1108
1109 ### 0.5.8 (2014-04-18)
1110
1111 - AMO Preliminary Review bug fix (sorry for such long delay)
1112
1113 ### 0.5.7 (2014-03-03)
1114
1115 - Bug fix
1116
1117 ### 0.5.6 (2014-02-26)
1118
1119 - Updated some translations
1120 - Updated pagination patterns and logic
1121
1122 ### 0.5.5 (2014-01-03)
1123
1124 - Hotfix release to address a bug that has been introduced in 0.5.4
1125
1126 ### 0.5.4 (2014-01-03)
1127
1128 - Fix for popup passthrough mode stucking
1129 - Make toolbar button click depend on current mode

1134 - Added commands to navigate previous and next links with customizable link
1135 patterns
1136 - Use Firefox 24+ native console API
1137 - Update zh-CN localization
1138
1139 ### 0.5.3 (2013-10-16)
1140
1141 - Lots of refactoring
1142 - Insert mode (`i` command)
1143 - Follow multiple links with `af` command
1144 - Hint marker rotation with `space` while in hints mode
1145

1147
1148 - Fixed regression with stylesheets
1149 - Updated icon
1150

1152
1153 - Added command to focus search bar: `O`
1154 - Added commands to stop loading current page and all pages: `s` and `as`
1155 - Invisible elements will not get hint markers
1156 - Compatibility with Firefox 25
1157 - Simple shortcut customization with UI in Help dialog
1158 - Use Huffman coding algorithm for hint markers generation which results in
1159 shorter links
1160 - Implemented Bloom filters to achieve shorter hints for those shortcuts that
1161 are used often
1162 - Reimplemented scrolling - now works with pages where window is not scrollable
1163 - Find disabled on non HTML documents
1164 - Find string is now global for all windows.
1165 - Fixed logic of locale discovery. Now we rely on general.useragent.locale
1166 Firefox preference for current locale
1167

1183 - `a/` or `a.` to highlight all matches of the search string on the page
1184 - Hint markers will now reach into iframes
1185 - Key handling is disabled when a popupmenu or panel are shown
