VimFx v0.13.2
[VimFx.git] / CHANGELOG.md
1 ### 0.13.2 (2016-04-08)
2
3 - Improved: The “last position mark” `` ` `` now works more reliably.
4 - Improved: More video players are now recognized. Many video players lets you
5 press `<space>` while focused to toggle play/pause. VimFx tries to detect if
6 the currently focused element is a video player. If so, `<space>` is passed to
7 the video player instead of scrolling the page. (For those interested, see
8 also the [`adjustable_element_keys`] pref.)
9
10 [`adjustable_element_keys`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/645e35d7d82019b0551534c43926bc126e7105bd/documentation/options.md#adjustable_element_keys
11
12 ### 0.13.1 (2016-04-01)
13
14 - Fixed: Blacklisting of some XUL pages.
15 - Fixed: The current mode is no longer lost when a page loads. For example, if
16 you press `zF` while a page is loading, the markers no longer disappear.
17 - Fixed: Elements that you have focused using an `f` command no longer get stuck
18 appearing as if you’d put the mouse pointer.
19 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @mozillazg!
20
21 ### 0.13.0 (2016-03-19)
22
23 - Added: The `T` command, which opens a new tab after the current.
24 - Changed: The `gl` command now deals with _visited_ tabs only.
25 - Added: The [`gL`] command, which deals with <em>un</em>visited tabs only, in
26 oldest-first order. Use this to step through your unvisited background tabs in
27 the order you opened them (for example using the `F` command).
28 - Improved: The `gi` command no longer tries to focus the last focused text
29 input if it has been removed from the page. If so, it finds a new one instead.
30 - Fixed: You can now type in sidebar text inputs (such as in the history
31 sidebar) without having to switch to Ignore mode.
32 - Changed: If you enter Ignore mode you will now stay in Ignore mode in that tab
33 until you explicitly exit it (by pressing `<s-escape>`), even if you reload
34 the page or follow a link. If Ignore mode was entered automatically because of
35 the [blacklist][blacklist-2], though, you will be automatically returned to
36 Normal mode if
37 the URL changes to a non-blacklisted page.
38 - Added: VimFx can now automatically enter and exit Ignore mode based on the
39 currently focused element. Currently, the [wasavi] extension as well as
40 [CodeMirror] in Vim mode are detected. Both of those provide Vim-style
41 editors. This allows sending `<escape>` to those editors in order to exit
42 their Insert mode, without blurring the editor.
43 - Improved: CodeMirror editors now get better hints, keeping the cursor where
44 you left it.
45 - Improved: The [blacklist][blacklist-2] is now applied faster on some pages.
46 - Improved: Many audio and video elements are now recognized as “adjustable”,
47 allowing you to press for example `<space>` on them to toggle play/pause,
48 without scrolling the page.
49 - Improved: Scrolling by pages, such as using the `<space>` command, now takes
50 fixed heaears and footers into account, just like Firefox does.
51 - Fixed: Access keys now work correctly in context menus in the devtools and
52 `about:config`.
53 - Improved: The arrow keys now Just Work in the devtools, even if you have bound
54 them to VimFx commands.
55 - Changed: The public API has been removed, and turned into the Config file API.
56 If you were already using a config file, it will no longer work. You need to
57 set up a new one, but you should be able to simply copy and paste the contents
58 of the old one into the new one. Read the [config file] documentation for more
59 information.
60 - Changed: There are a few minor breaking changes to the API, though I doubt it
61 will affect anyone.
62 - If you use [`vimfx.on`], you probably need to adjust the arguments of the
63 your callbacks. They are now _always_ passed an object of data, instead of
64 sometimes passing the data directly.
65 - `match.focus` of [match object]s has been removed, and replaced by
66 `vim.focusType` of [vim object]s.
67 - Fixed: The toolbar button’s icon is now correctly sized when setting
68 `layout.css.devPixelsPerPx` to `2`. Thanks to Robert Ma (@Hexcles) and Dale
69 Whinham (@dwhinham)!
70 - Fixed: Find commands now work when the find bar was opened before the page had
71 finished loading.
72 - Improved: Lots of internal improvements. This should make VimFx faster, more
73 reliable and more responsive.
74 - All keyboard event handling (except `<late>` shortcuts) are now handled in
75 the UI process, instead of mostly in each tab’s web page content process.
76 This should make VimFx’s shortcuts more reliable and responsive.
77 - Removed all synchronous message passing (execpt for `<late>` keypresses).
78 Mozilla recommends using them only where absolutely necessary. Turns out
79 VimFx doesn’t need them anymore!
80 - The `f` commands are now more reliable. Before, they could crash on rare
81 occasions (on certain web pages), but that is less likely now.
82 - Less `MutationObserver`s are now used. This should improve performance.
83 - Less uncaught errors (especially on shutdown).
84 - Lots of minor improvements.
85 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!

96 ### 0.12.0 (2016-02-03)
97
98 - Improved: More clickable elements are now recognized. Most notably, elements
99 with click event listeners added by JavaScript now get hints.
100 - Improved: Autofocus prevention after using the `[` and `]` commands.
101 - Added: In VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (which can be opened by
102 pressing `?`) you can now click on any command to open VimFx’s settings page
103 in the Add-ons Manager and automatically select the text input for that
104 command, letting you edit its shortcuts. Tip: Use the `zF` command to click
105 without using the mouse.
106 - Changed: Autofocus is no longer prevented in Firefox internal pages, such as
107 `about:preferences`, `about:addons` and `about:config` (as well as other XUL
108 pages).
109 - Fixed: VimFx and the Beyond Australis extension do not conflict with each
110 other anymore.
111 - Fixed: The `gH` command no longer nags you about “No back/forward history”
112 even though there is.
113 - Added: The `gl` command now takes a [count][gl-count].
114 - Improved: Optimized CPU usage in Hints mode. (See also the [`hints_sleep`]
115 pref.)
116 - Improved: The `H` and `L` commands should now be more reliable in Firefox 43
117 and later.
118 - Changed: There was a tiny breaking change to the Public API, though I doubt it
119 will affect anyone. (See [commit 0ca807605e] if you’re especially interested.)
120 - Improved: _Several_ minor things, and some really nice internal refactoring.
121 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
122
123 [`hints_sleep`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/92b483c4a4f6da0b2c998267e0f01d3d999f93b6/documentation/options.md#hints_sleep
124 [gl-count]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/92b483c4a4f6da0b2c998267e0f01d3d999f93b6/documentation/commands.md#gl
125 [commit 0ca807605e]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/commit/0ca807605e8d69fdc01ef9ce5d539cf66ce7d96f
126
127 ### 0.11.0 (2016-01-15)
128
129 - Fixed: The `` ` `` command is no longer broken.
130 - Fixed: Memory leak.
131 - Added: The `gl` command, which takes you to the most recent tab.
132 - Improved: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now scrollable using VimFx’s
133 scrolling commands. To allow for this, the search field is no longer
134 autofocused. Instead, press `/` to open it.
135 - Improved: Using the `f` commands, such as `f` and `zf`, now works like
136 actually moving your mouse onto the link, making hover menus and such-like
137 appear.
138 - Improved: VimFx should now work better with Google Drive Documents, Etherpad
139 and a few other fancy text editors.
140 - Improved: The `]` command now works on google.com.
141 - Improved: Checkboxes and menu items on gmail.com are now given hints by the
142 `f` command.
143 - Improved: The `gi` command now also recognizes 'contenteditable' elements.
144 - Improved: Hint markers now move along together with their elements.
145 - Fixed: Hint markers should now be correctly positioned when zooming.
146 - Fixed: The toolbar button icon should now look correctly on Retina screens.
147 - Added: You may now disable counts by using toggling the [`counts_enabled`]
148 pref.
149 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
150 - Improved: Several minor things.
151
152 [`counts_enabled`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8dae7aec9008595da31b939d5ae2d239849cf6dc/documentation/options.md#counts_enabled
153
154 ### 0.10.0 (2015-12-09)
155
156 - Added: The `zF` command, which lets you click browser elements.
157 - Improved: The scrolling commands can now scroll browser elements (in other
158 words, not only web page content), by first selecting the scollable element
159 using `zF`.
160 - Added: The `gr` command, which toggles [Reader View].
161 - Added: The `gX` command, which opens the Recently Closed Tabs menu at the
162 middle of the screen.
163 - Added: The keys you’ve typed so far of a command, as well the count, are now
164 shown in a [notification]. (You may disable this using the
165 [`notify_entered_keys`] pref.)
166 - Improved: When commands don’t do anything, they show a [notification] instead,
167 letting you know that you actually pressed the right keys. For example, if you
168 press `f` but there are no markable elements visible, a notification is shown
169 telling you so, instead of silently doing nothing.
170 - Improved: `<space>` now scrolls _about a line less_ than a full page, just
171 like Firefox does by default. `d` scroll about _half_ a line less (by
172 default), so that pressing `d` twice works like pressing `<space>` once. (See
173 the [`scroll.full_page_adjustment` and `scroll.half_page_adjustment`] prefs
174 for more information.)
175 - Improved: `gi` now only selects all text in its text input if you haven’t
176 focused a text input yet (allowing you to easily replace pre-filled text),
177 instead of _always_ doing so. Otherwise, it now puts the cursor where you left
178 off typing the last time.
179 - Fixed: The `f` commands now put the cursor where you left off typing the last
180 time when focusing a text input. Previously, they accidentally selected all
181 text in the text input (use `zf` for that behavior).
182 - Fixed: Yet a scrolling fix. VimFx’s scrolling commands should now “just work”
183 on even more sites.
184 - Fixed: AltGr should now work out of the box on Windows. (See the
185 [`ignore_ctrl_alt`] pref for more information.)
186 - Removed: The el-GR, hu and pl locales were sadly too out of date to be useful,
187 and nobody has shown interest in updating them, so they were removed.
188 - Updated locales: id, de and zh-CN. Thanks to Yoppy Halilintar, @just-barcodes
189 and @mozillazg!
190 - Fixed: Several tiny bugs.
191
192 [Reader View]: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/firefox-reader-view-clutter-free-web-pages
193 [notification]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/ba9d4675e19ce315e6855b64400aae092e727975/documentation/notifications.md

197
198 ### 0.9.0 (2015-12-02)
199
200 - Fixed: Links with the `onclick` attribute can now be opened in new tabs again.
201 (Regression since 0.8.0.)
202 - Fixed: The text size in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now
203 correctly resized.
204 - Added: The `gH` command. It opens the back/forward button context menu in the
205 middle of the window, allowing you to choose a history entry with the arrow
206 keys and `<enter>`.
207
208 ### 0.8.0 (2015-12-01)
209
210 - Fixed: VimFx now works properly in tabs moved to other windows.
211 - Fixed: An unreliable check for multi-process mode has been eliminated, fixing
212 various problems for some users.
213 - Fixed: VimFx’s toolbar button now changes color correctly when switching
214 between blacklisted and non-blacklisted tabs.
215 - Fixed: Dead keys now work out of the box on Windows.
216 - Improved: Links with the `onclick` attribute (abused as buttons) can no longer
217 get the same hint as another link.
218 - Added: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (shown by pressing `?`) is now
219 searchable.
220 - Added: The `g/` command. It’s like `/` but searches links only.
221
222 - Added: [Marks].
223
224 - Use `ma` to mark the current scroll position and `` `a `` to return to it.
225 (You may substitute `a` with any key press.)
226 - Use ``` `` ``` to return to the position before the last `gg`, `G`, `0`,
227 `$`, `/`, `n`, `N` or `` ` ``. (You can change this mark using the
228 [`last_scroll_position_mark`] pref.)
229
230 - Added: Window commands.
231
232 - `w`: Open new window.
233 - `W`: Open new private window.
234 - `gw`: Move tab to new window.
235 - `gF`: Follow link in new window.
236
237 [Marks]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/47fc699ce8217ee90af4d12e81f102f2bea09d61/documentation/commands.md#marks-m-and-
238 [`last_scroll_position_mark`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/47fc699ce8217ee90af4d12e81f102f2bea09d61/documentation/options.md#last_scroll_position_mark
239
240 ### 0.7.3 (2015-11-22)
241
242 - Fixed: Scrolling now works correctly in pages in quirks mode (lacking a
243 doctype), such as Hackernews.
244 - Improved: The largest scrollable element is now detected better in frames.
245 - Fixed: Hints mode now exits correctly when focusing a text input using `af`,
246 or `f` with a count.
247
248 ### 0.7.2 (2015-11-21)
249
250 - Fixed: The blinking text caret now always appears correctly when focusing text
251 inputs.
252
253 ### 0.7.1 (2015-11-21)
254
255 - Fixed: The scrolling commands should now “just work” when using non-default
256 zoom or DPI settings, most notably on Google Groups.
257
258 ### 0.7.0 (2015-11-19)
259
260 - Changed: Instead of using system notifications, which turned out to be a bit
261 too intrusive, [notifications] are now similar to the “URL popup” (shown when
262 hovering or focusing links) but are placed on the opposite side,.
263 - Changed: The “Focus next element” and “Focus previous element” commands have
264 been removed. The reason they existed was to let `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` only
265 cycle between text inputs (as opposed to _all_ focusable elements) after
266 you’ve pressed `gi`. Now, `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` are handled specially instead,
267 and _only_ after pressing `gi`. The reason for this change is that the now
268 removed commands were too intrusive, breaking user habits. One of VimFx’s main
269 goal is _not_ to do that. (You can turn the special handling of `<tab>` and
270 `<s-tab>` off using the the new [`focus_previous_key` and `focus_next_key`]
271 prefs.)
272 - Fixed: The scrolling commands should now “just work” in a lot more situations,
273 most notably on Gmail and Google Groups. More scrollable elements are also
274 recognized by the `f` and `zf` commands.
275 - Improved: The right border of hint markers for scrollable elements is now
276 styled to remind of a scroll bar, making them easier to recognize among hints
277 for links.
278 - Improved/Changed: `J` and `gJ` now allow a count on the first tab.
279 Consequently, `K` and `gK` now allow a count on the _last_ tab.
280 - Changed: `gJ` and `gK` can no longer be used to pin or unpin tabs. They now
281 only wrap around tabs of the same pinned state. Use `gp` to toggle between
282 pinned and non-pinned.
283 - Fixed: Many elements that got a hint before VimFx 0.6.0 now do again.
284 - Improved: Comment fields on Facebook can now be focused using `f` and blurred
285 using `<escape>`.
286 - Improved: VimFx’s toolbar button is no greyed out when you focus a text input.
287 This is to show that your key presses will be passed into the text input
288 rather than activating VimFx commands.
289 - Added: [`g0`, `g^` and `g$` now accept counts][tab-index-counts], allowing you
290 to go to tab number _count._
291 - Improved: `gi` now finds text inputs inside frames.
292 - Fixed: “gi mode” is now exited properly when blurring a text input.
293 - Fixed: `<select>` elements are no longer considered to be text inputs when
294 using `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` in “gi mode.”
295 - Fixed: Using `<force>` or `<late>` in a shortcut no longer applies to _every_
296 shortcut for the command, but only that shortcut.
297 - Fixed: The order of the Previous/Next page patterns is now respected. This
298 caused the wrong link to be picked by the `[` and `]` commands on some pages.
299

303
304 ### 0.6.2 (2015-11-11)
305
306 - Improved: If the entire page isn’t scrollable, the largest scrollable element
307 is scrolled instead.
308 - Fixed: VimFx’s keyboard shortcuts now works on slowly loading pages.
309 - Fixed: Numbers may now be used as shortcut keys (overriding counts).
310 - Fixed: The toolbar button’s icon is now correctly sized in high DPI.
311 - Fixed: Hint markers are now correctly positioned when zooming using the “Zoom
312 text only” option.
313 - Fixed: The `P` command now works with the InstantFox add-on.
314
315 ### 0.6.1 (2015-11-10)
316
317 - Fixed: If you customized the “esc” command before VimFx 0.6.0 it should now
318 work as expected.
319 - Fixed: `<tab>` now works as expected in the location bar and in the dev tools.
320 - Fixed: Light-weight themes can no longer make VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
321 dialog and hint markers unreadable.
322 - Added: The [notifications\_enabled] option.
323
324 [notifications\_enabled]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/56c4b7c514ea8b58d2cdcecf3d2654648c48ca31/documentation/options.md#notifications_enabled
325
326 ### 0.6.0 (2015-11-09)
327
328 ##### Most important (breaking) changes
329
330 - VimFx now works properly with **any keyboard layout.** Users of **multiple
331 layouts** should enable the **[ignore keyboard layout] option.** #249 #259
332
333 - Features related to disabling VimFx, and to the [toolbar button]:
334
335 - **Insert Mode** has been renamed to **_Ignore_ mode.**
336 - **[Blacklisted][blacklist] sites** now **enter Ignore mode automatically,**
337 instead of being specially handled.
338 - The feature to click the toolbar button (or press `<a-V>`) to **disable
339 VimFx** has been **removed.** Use **Ignore mode** (`i`) and the
340 **[blacklist] instead.**
341 - The **toolbar button** is now **red in Ignore mode** (which also means that
342 it is red on blacklisted sites) and green otherwise (never grey anymore).
343 - The toolbar button no longer offers to (un-)blacklist the current domain.
344 (Head into VimFx’s settings page in the Add-ons Manager and add
345 `*currentdomain.com*` to the [blacklist] option yourself instead.)
346
347 (See [commit 3552282] for more information.)
348
349 - **Some default shortcuts have changed,** mostly because they conflicted with
350 standard Firefox shortcuts: #308
351
352 - `<c-J>` → `gJ`
353
354 - `<c-K>` → `gK`
355
356 - `g^` and `gH` → `g0`
357
358 `g^` now selects the first _non pinned_ tab instead, while `g0`
359 selects the first tab regardless of whether it is pinned or not. #317
360
361 - `<c-e>` (alias for `j`) and `<c-y>` (alias for `k`) have been removed.
362
363 - `<c-f>` → `<space>` and `<c-b>` → `<s-space>`
364
365 - `vf` → `zf`
366
367 This frees up `v` for future shortcuts (instead making `z` a
368 “namespace” key, just like in Vim).
369
370 - To **exit Ignore mode:** `<escape>` → `<s-escape>`. This is because Ignore
371 mode has replaced the disable feature, as well as the special blacklist
372 state (see above). Sites are likely to use `<escape>` but not `<s-escape>`.
373 (In a way, this new role of Ignore mode also means that the old (many times
374 broken) shortcut to disable VimFx (`<a-V>`) has been replaced by `i`.) #64
375 \#375 #432
376
377 - VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now help only, and more accessible.
378 To **customize keyboard shortcuts,** go to VimFx’s settings page **in the
379 Add-ons Manager,** just like you would to customize other settings. Also,
380 **commas** between every key are **no longer needed:** Type `gJ` instead of
381 `g,J`.
382
383 - For performance reasons, **Hint markers** are now placed vertically **centered
384 instead of at the top** of the element. Don’t be surprised if you see the same
385 hint repeated several times**—links that go to the same place now get the same
386 hint.** The “Smart hints” option has been removed—hints are _always_ smart
387 now, and a lot smarter than before. Finally, hints now also work in the new
388 tab page, the Add-ons Manager and the preferences page. If you want to, you
389 can read more about [the `f` commands]. \#51 #60 #176 #320 #325 #468 #471 #475
390
391 - The **`F`** command now _always_ opens tabs in new **background** tabs, while
392 **`gf`** has been added to open tabs in new **foreground** tabs. #227 #464
393
394 - **Autofocus prevention** is now **off by default.** One of VimFx’s core
395 philosophies is to be nice to your browser habits. Some find autofocus
396 prevention too big a change. Turn it on again if you like it! By the way,
397 autofocus prevention now works much more reliably and should not cause issues
398 with other extensions. #497 #541
399
400 - The **“Scroll step”** option has been **removed**. The scrolling commands that
401 used it now **work like the arrow keys instead,** and are customized just like
402 them. See [scrolling prefs] for more information.
403
404 - Speaking of scrolling, **which elements scrolls** when you use VimFx’s
405 scrolling commands **has changed.** See [scrolling commands] for more
406 information.
407
408 ##### New features
409
410 - New commands:
411
412 - `gp` pins or unpins the current tab. (Also see `g^` and `g0` mentioned
413 above.) #121
414 - `yt` duplicates the current tab. #121
415 - `0` and `^` scroll to the far left, and `$` scrolls to the far right.
416 - [`gi`] has finally been implemented. #47
417 - [Ignore mode `<s-f1>`] let you run a Normal mode command without exiting
418 Ignore mode.
419
420 - In Hints mode you can now hold ctrl and alt to change behavior of the matched
421 marker. Hold shift to temporarily make the hints see-through. See [the `f`
422 commands] for more information. #220 #421 #484
423
424 - Some commands now accept [counts]. #374
425
426 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that work inside text inputs. See the
427 [`<force>`] key for more information. #258
428
429 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that the page can override. See the
430 [`<late>`] key for more information.
431
432 - A number of [advanced options] have been added. Rather than listing everything
433 regarding them here, follow that link if you’re interested. #452 #489
434
435 - You may now, if you want to, configure VimFx through a [config file], using
436 the new [public API]. Customizing VimFx through a config file also gives extra
437 abilities, such as [site-specific options][option-overrides] and [disabling
438 certain commands on certain sites][key-overrides]. It also allows to add
439 [custom commands] \(and other extensions to extend VimFx). #158 #235 #255 #261
440 \#300 #408 #445 #490 #515
441
442 - It is now easier to customize VimFx through custom [styling]. An example is
443 changing the way hint markers look. #220 #233 #424 #432 #465
444
445 - VimFx now has [documentation] and a [wiki].
446
447 - A few new locales were added:
448
449 - fr. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r)!
450 - pt-BR. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)!
451 - sv-SE. Thanks to Andreas Lindhé (@lindhe)!
452
453 ##### Improvements
454
455 - VimFx is now multi-process/Electrolysis/e10s compatible! This means that you
456 can run VimFx on a version of Firefox with multi-process enabled without
457 issues, and that we’re future proof for the day when Firefox becomes
458 multi-process by default. Best of all, it also made VimFx more reliable in
459 non-multi-process (“regular”) Firefox. #378
460
461 - The `[` and `]` commands are now smarter, recognizing more links to the
462 previous/next page correctly. You may read more about [previous/next page
463 patterns]. #396
464
465 - The `n` and `N` commands now notify you when they wrap around the page, or the
466 phrase you searched for could not be found. #398
467
468 - _All_ shortcuts in _all modes_ can now be customized. For example, this allows
469 you to disable VimFx’s Vim-style `<enter>` behavior in the find bar. #222 #390
470 \#421
471
472 - The `p` and `P` commands are now smarter regarding whether to treat the
473 clipboard contents as a URL or a search, by working exactly like pasting in
474 the location bar. They also now read the selection clipboard, if available.
475 \#353 #382
476
477 - VimFx’s toolbar button is now properly implemented. #303 #349 #383
478
479 - Most locales were updated. Thanks to our awesome [translators]!
480
481 ##### Minor bug fixes
482
483 - VimFx now works correctly in tabs dragged to other windows. #57
484 - The `p` command is no longer broken. #494
485 - Non-ASCII shortcut keys now work properly. #433
486 - The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog can no longer be covered by page elements.
487 \#477
488 - Hint markers can no longer be covered by page elements.
489 - VimFx no longer causes scripts on icloud.com to get stuck in an infinite loop.

515
516 ### 0.5.17 (2015-01-23)
517
518 - Fixed: The hints generation no longer crashes on some pages (regression since
519 version 0.5.15).
520
521 ### 0.5.16 (2015-01-22)
522
523 - Fixed: The toolbar button no longer throws errors. (This fix should have been
524 in 0.5.15 but was forgotten. Luckily an AMO reviewer found it.)
525
526 ### 0.5.15 (2015-01-21)
527
528 - Improved: This version is now forwards-compatible with the upcoming version
529 0.6.0. Downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.14 or older might cause VimFx to crash,
530 but downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.15 is safe.
531 - Fixed: Non-hintchars key presses in hints mode are now suppressed. They used
532 to be passed along to the browser, which could confusingly activate site
533 commands.
534 - Fixed: The 'f' command now always opens links in the same tab. Links used to
535 be able to force a new tab or window.
536 - Fixed: Pressing 'Esc' in the location bar now restores the URL, as is the
537 default behaviour of Firefox. You may now also close Firefox dialogs using
538 'Esc'.
539 - Improved: Updated the de locale. Thanks to Alexander Haeussler!
540 - Improved: Updated the pl locale. Thanks to morethanoneanimal!
541
542 ### 0.5.14 (2014-08-16)
543
544 - Fixed: Locales should now work properly.
545 - Improved: Updated the zh-CN locale (@mozillazg).
546 - Improved: Updated the de locale (@Kambfhase).
547 - Added: Japanese locale (@pluser).
548 - Fixed: If you switched to another tab or window while an `<input>` element
549 was focused and then switched back, the `<input>` element got blurred, while
550 it should have stayed focused. This caused the auto-type feature of KeePassX
551 to break.
552
553 ### 0.5.13 (2014-08-02)
554
555 - Fixed: The vote button on StackExchange sites are now markable again.
556 - Improved: Detection of previous/next links. Should work better on gmail now.
557 - Fixed: It is now possible to use Enter/Return in keyboard shortcuts.
558 - Improved: The n/N commands (etc.) now work even if you didn’t open the finbar
559 using the VimFx command (such as the default key binding ctrl+f, or by
560 clicking a menu item).
561 - Improved: It is now possible to blur text inputs without sending Esc to the
562 page, which could cause dialogs etc. to annoyingly close.
563 - Improved: Updated the el-GR locale (@sirodoht).
564 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention sometimes made text inputs impossible to focus
565 until you reloaded the page.
566 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now works on more sites than before.
567 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now prevents _all_ automatic focusing (not
568 just when the page loads). This makes devdocs.io much easier to use.
569 - Added: When viewing images directly and the image has been resized to fit the
570 screen the image is now markable, allowing you to toggle zoom on it using the
571 keyboard.
572 - Fixed: It is no longer possible to add conflicting shortcuts (such as adding
573 'a' when 'af' and 'as' are already present).
574
575 ### 0.5.12 (2014-06-01)
576
577 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention got stuck sometimes, making it impossible to
578 focus inputs.
579
580 ### 0.5.11 (2014-06-01)
581
582 - Fixed: The focus search bar command was broken.
583 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention was broken.
584 - Fixed: The top bar on YouTube could not be accessed by VimFx.
585 - Fixed: You can no longer add blank hotkeys.
586 - Improved: Tab Groups are supported.
587 - Improved: Matching of previous/next links should be more reliable.
588 - Improved: A few minor things.
589

591
