[VimFx.git] / CHANGELOG.md
1 ### 0.22.0 (2019-09-22)
2
3 - Experimental ShadowDOM support
4
5 ### 0.21.3 (2019-09-22)
6

10
11 - Fixed: VimFx' settings work on modern Firefox
12 - Fixed: blurring of URL bar in Nightly 70
13 - Fixed: statusbar in Waterfox 56
14
15 ### 0.21.1 (2019-08-03)
16
17 - Fixed: Hints mode and VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog now works in
18 Firefox 69b. The screen used to go white whenever you entered any mode that
19 displays an overlay.
20 - Fixed: The statusbar now works again.
21 - Fixed: VimFx should now work with Nightly 70, by removing usage of the
22 deprecated `Array.filter()` method and others.
23
24 Thanks to Tobias Girstmair (@girst)!
25
26 ### 0.21.0 (2019-05-15)
27
28 - Removed: The Developer Toolbar integration, such as the `:` shortcut. That
29 feature has been removed from Firefox and the integration was causing issues
30 on newer Firefox versions. Thanks to Tobias Girstmair (@girst)!
31 - Fixed: VimFx should now work on Waterfox again. Tested with Waterfox 56,
32 Firefox 56, Firefox 64 and Waterfox 68. Thanks to Tobias Girstmair (@girst)
33 and @matsuhav!
34
35 ### 0.20.15 (2018-08-06)
36
37 - Fixed: Find mode now works properly again. Thanks to @matsuhav!
38
39 ### 0.20.14 (2018-05-15)
40
41 - Fixed: VimFx should now work properly in Firefox 61 (if you have enabled
42 legacy extensions) as well as older versions of Firefox. The latest few
43 versions have been a bit buggy, but things should work better now. Thanks to
44 Kevin Cox (@kevincox) and 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
45
46 ### 0.20.13 (2018-05-06)
47
48 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 61 (if you have enabled legacy
49 extensions). Thanks to Kevin Cox (@kevincox), 依云 (@lilydjwg) and Jan
50 Kokemüller (@jiixyj)!
51
52 ### 0.20.12 (2018-01-23)
53
54 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 59 (if you have enabled legacy
55 extensions). Thanks to Kevin Cox (@kevincox) and 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
56 - Updated locale: es. Thanks to @strel!
57
58 ### 0.20.11 (2017-11-19)
59
60 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 58 (if you have enabled legacy
61 extensions). Thanks to 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
62
63 ### 0.20.10 (2017-03-25)
64
65 - Improved: Autofocus is now prevented when going back in history on pages that
66 use `history.pushState()` (in other words, on the 'popstate' event).
67 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!
68
69 ### 0.20.9 (2017-02-21)
70
71 - Fixed: The `yy` command now works as expected in Reader Mode.
72
73 ### 0.20.8 (2017-01-14)
74
75 - Improved: The scrolling commands now scroll the closest scrollable parent of
76 the currently focused element (if it is not scrollable itself). This is
77 noticeable for Twitter’s modals, which are often scrollable. No longer any
78 need to use the `f` or `ef` commands to scroll those modals!
79
80 ### 0.20.7 (2017-01-07)
81
82 - Improved: The `[` and `]` commands now work in Google search results.
83 - Improved: You can now show the “emoji picker” of the “like” button on Facebook
84 by using the `ef` command.
85 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @interleaved!
86
87 ### 0.20.6 (2016-12-16)
88
89 - Fixed: The `'`, `g[` and `g]` commands no longer crash. (Regression since
90 0.20.5.)
91 - Fixed: The `ef` command can now focus elements in deeply nested frames again.
92 (Regression since 0.19.0.)
93 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` and `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` are now properly
94 undone when reloading a config file (`gC`).
95 - Improved: Hint markers for elements with multiline text no longer cover the
96 text.
97 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @interleaved!
98
99 ### 0.20.5 (2016-12-04)
100
101 - Fixed: Scrolling by holding `d`, `u`, `<space>` or `<s-space>` no longer goes
102 slower and slower (and finally grinding to a halt) on long pages with lots of
103 elements. (See also the [`scroll.repeat_timeout`] pref.)
104 - Improved: All config API functions now validate all their parameters properly.
105 This provides a better user experience, and, most importantly, prevents VimFx
106 from crashing on certain invalid input.
107
108 [`scroll.repeat_timeout`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/58deb3f7b7c470a4d705f1dabf7aa13e095e8d09/documentation/options.md#smooth-scrolling
109
110 ### 0.20.4 (2016-11-16)
111
112 - Fixed: The `n` and `N` commands now work in Firefox’s PDF viewer.
113 - Fixed: The `eb` command can now click the tab bar scroll buttons.
114 - Fixed: Elements marked by the `eb` command now correctly get hints based on
115 their area again.
116 - Improved: The `eb` command now favors the browser tabs and their close
117 buttons, giving them better hints.
118 - Improved: The hints given to the browser tabs by the `eb` command are now
119 consistent no matter how many tabs you have open. This means that the first
120 tab always gets the same hint, the second tab always get the same hint, and so
121 on.
122 - Improved: Hint markers are now placed next to the text of the element if
123 appropriate. For example, the hint marker for a button with centered text is
124 now placed just to the left of the text rather than at the left edge of
125 button. This is nice because it means that hint markers usually end up where
126 you were just reading.
127 - Improved: The positioning of hint markers has been fine-tuned by a pixel or so
128 in some cases.
129 - Improved: Custom styled checkboxes and radio buttons now get hint markers
130 faster (they are now found in the first pass rather than the second).
131 - Improved: Compatibility with the [Tab Center] add-on.
132 - Improved: Blurring the location bar is now more consistent. Previously, its
133 text wasn’t reset if the autocomplete popup was open when you pressed
134 `<escape>` to blur it.
135 - Fixed: An edge case where the wrong hint markers could be highlighted.
136
137 [Tab Center]: https://testpilot.firefox.com/experiments/tab-center/
138
139 ### 0.20.3 (2016-10-22)
140
141 - Improved: Full page scrolling now recognizes the fixed footer on medium.com.
142 - Fixed: Scrollable element can now be focused with the `f` command again (not
143 just with the `ef` command). (Regression since 0.19.0.)
144 - Fixed: `<escape>` is no longer accidentally leaked to the page when used to
145 blur text inputs. This allows blurring text inputs in modals without closing
146 the modal (which `<escape>` commonly does otherwise).
147
148 ### 0.20.2 (2016-10-16)
149
150 - Fixed: Text inputs and links inside frames can now be focused using hint
151 commands again. (Regression since 0.19.0.)
152 - Improved: Previously focused text inputs inside frames no longer steal the
153 focus when entering Caret mode in that frame.
154 - Improved: When several hint markers have the same hint (because their links
155 go to the same place), the _largest_ of those links is now chosen when
156 activating that hint. This might be noticeable via focus styling.
157 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @av2000ii!
158
159 ### 0.20.1 (2016-10-09)
160
161 - Improved: Caret mode is now a bit more robust. It can no longer make you end
162 up with [Firefox’s own Caret mode] accidentally enabled.
163 - Improved: If you try use for example `<ctrl>-j` as a keyboard shortcut, VimFx
164 will now tell you that you probably want `<c-j>` instead.
165 - Fixed: Using a keyboard shortcut to switch keyboard layout in GNOME while
166 inside a text input no longer causes the focus of that text input to be lost
167 when the Prevent autofocus option is enabled.
168 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @av2000ii!
169
170 [Firefox’s own Caret mode]: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Accessibility_features_of_Firefox#Allow_text_to_be_selected_with_the_keyboard
171
172 ### 0.20.0 (2016-10-02)
173
174 - Added: The `g[` and `g]` commands, which let you scroll to previous and next
175 scroll positions of the current page. This is similar to Vim’s jump list.
176 - Added: The `/` mark. Pressing `'/` takes you to the scroll position before the
177 last `/`, `a/` or `g/`.
178 - Fixed: Pressing `''` multiple times in a row now flips back and forth
179 between two scroll positions as expected.
180 - Fixed: Version 0.19.0 claimed to include the following improvement: “The hint
181 marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for a larger
182 element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).” However, a silly
183 mistake caused that improvement not to work. Now it does. For real.
184 - Fixed: All VimFx commands that copy text to the clipboard are now made sure to
185 also copy to the “selection clipboard” (if your system has such a thing). For
186 example, if you copy text using the `yv` command, the `p` command now uses
187 that copied text as expected.
188
189 ### 0.19.1 (2016-09-26)
190
191 - Fixed: The `'` command no longer crashes. (Regression since 0.19.0.)
192
193 ### 0.19.0 (2016-09-25)
194
195 #### Changes and improvements to Hints mode
196
197 **New feature:** Hint markers can now be filtered by element text, similar to
198 Vimium, Vimperator and Pentadactyl. This is useful for people who simply prefer
199 that workflow, and for clicking tiny pagination links (simply type its number!).
200
201 By default, filtering by element text is done by typing _uppercase_ characters
202 (hold down shift!). All characters other than the hint characters are now used
203 to filter hint markers by element text (rather than just being ignored). Do you
204 prefer filtering by element text, but dislike typing uppercase letters? Have a
205 look at how [hint characters] work to make things the other way around!
206
207 The markers with the best hint are now highlighted with a different color. You
208 may at any time press `<enter>` to activate those markers (or `<c-enter>` or
209 `<a-enter>` to change where and how to open links, just like you can hold ctrl
210 or alt for the last hint character).
211
212 Because of the above new features, the following default **Hints mode shortcuts
213 had to be changed:**
214
215 - `<space>` → `<c-space>` (`<s-space>` is left untouched)
216 - `<s->` → `<c-s->` (hold ctrl _and_ shift to peek through hint markers)
217 - `<enter>` → `<up>`
218 - `<c-enter>` → `<c-backspace>`
219
220 To make it easier to see the element text, hint markers are now nudged to the
221 left if they cover the text.
222
223 Other hint marker improvements:
224
225 - Hint markers are now 20% smaller by default. While trying to match text sizes
226 set by your operating system, they ended up a bit too large on most systems.
227 Check out the [Styling] documentation if you’d like to change the font size.
228 - Hint markers now have stronger contrast between the background color and the
229 text color, which should make them easier to read.
230 - The CSS for hint markers have been improved, making it easier to use custom
231 [Styling].
232 - When several elements have the same area, the best hint is now correctly given
233 to the _first_ of those elements. Previously, it happened to be the other way
234 around.
235 - The hint marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for
236 a larger element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).
237 - Hint markers are now better positioned when having zoomed the page in or out.
238 - Hints mode is now more robust in general. Several race conditions have been
239 fixed.

243
244 #### Other updates
245
246 - Added: The ability to **export, import and reset all** VimFx options. There
247 are three shiny new buttons for this in VimFx’s options page in the Add-ons
248 Manager!
249 - Added: The `gB` command, which lets you **quickly blacklist** (and
250 un-blacklist) sites.
251 - Added: The `ec` command, for opening the context menu of elements.
252 - Added: The `ep` command, for opening links in new private windows.
253 - Improved: `h`, `l`, `j` and `k` now feel more like scrolling with the arrow
254 keys when held down, by boosting the scrolling speed. See the
255 [`scroll.horizontal_boost` and `scroll.vertical_boost`][scroll-boost] options
256 for more information.
257 - Fixed: VimFx’s find bar integration is now much more robust. Most notably, if
258 you start typing directly after pressing `/` and Firefox is slow at opening
259 the find bar, your keypresses can no longer trigger VimFx commands or Firefox
260 built-in commands.
261 - Improved: VimFx no longer leaks keypresses to the web page in some modes. (For
262 example, counts in Caret mode).
263 - Improved: The `eb` command now finds more clickable elements in the devtools.
264 - Changed: `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` no longer lets you easily break for example
265 Hints mode, by now only being applied to Normal mode. You might need to change
266 your matchers from `(location, mode) => ...` to simply `location => ...`.
267 (Breaking API change.)
268 - Changed: The object passed to custom commands (and custom modes) no longer
269 contains a `uiEvent` property. Instead, there’s an `event` property. This
270 property can be used the same way if you check `vim.isUIEvent(event)` first.
271 (Breaking API change.)
272
273 [scroll-boost]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8bafdf0454043c1630bac8b13d13f1fb4e5ee9e7/documentation/options.md#scrollhorizontal_boost-and-scrollvertical_boost
274
275 ### 0.18.1 (2016-08-27)
276
277 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` no longer crashes on startup.
278 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` can now override the `prevent_autofocus`
279 pref again.
280
281 ### 0.18.0 (2016-08-20)
282
283 #### Changed default shortcuts
284
285 Some default keyboard shortcuts have been changed.
286
287 - Hint commands. Many of the old ones were difficult to remember, and there was
288 no space for adding new ones.
289
290 - `gf` → `et` (t as in tab)
291 - `gF` → `ew` (w as in window)
292 - `zf` → `ef` (f as in focus)
293 - `zF` → `eb` (b as in browser)
294 - `zv` → `av` (you actually select _all_ of the element’s text)
295
296 (`f`, `yf`, `af`, `v` and `yv` stay unchanged.)
297
298 There is a longer [explanation of these new defaults][hint-shortcuts] in the
299 documentation.
300
301 - `zr` → `gC`. `zr` was the only shortcut starting with `z`. This frees that key
302 up for other uses.
303
304 - `` ` `` → `'`. The `` ` `` shortcut (“scroll to mark”) as well as the `` ` ``
305 mark (“last position mark”) have both been changed to `'`. Both `` ` `` and
306 `'` are used in Vim. `'` is a better default, because it is easier to
307 type–both on an en-US QWERTY keyboard and, more importantly, on some
308 international layouts, such as the sv-SE QWERTY layout.
309
310 Note: If you miss Firefox’s default `'` shortcut to open the Quick Find bar
311 (which is now overridden), remember that VimFx provides `g/` which does the
312 same thing. (You can of course also change VimFx’s shortcuts.)
313
314 See also issue [#788].

317 [#788]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/issues/788
318
319 #### Other updates
320
321 - Added: It is now possible to create [custom hint commands].
322 - Fixed: The bottom-right corner of the page scrollbars can now be used with the
323 mouse again.
324 - Fixed: The toolbar button now correctly toggles VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts
325 dialog again.
326 - Updated locales: fr, ru. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r) and Nicholas
327 Guriev (@mymedia2)!
328
329 [custom hint commands]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/e8d9df31dd5c8df999ac22e3b3b8d548a68c6fa7/documentation/api.md#custom-hint-commands
330
331 ### 0.17.4 (2016-07-11)
332
333 - Improved: The usage of modifier keys in Hints mode is now shown in VimFx’s
334 Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog. The functionality has been there for a long
335 time, but should now be easier to find. Thanks to our awesome translators,
336 the new help text is already available in most supported locales!
337 - Improved: If you submit a form while still being inside one of its text
338 inputs, that text input is now automatically blurred. This lets you use VimFx
339 commands while waiting for the form to submit without having to press
340 `<escape>` first.
341 - Improved: The `gu` command now works better on some pages, by preserving a
342 trailing slash. Thanks to @sinkuu!
343 - Improved: VimFx now recognizes text areas in the TYPO3 CMS.
344 - Improved: The `<escape>` command and the toolbar button now let you escape
345 back to Normal mode if VimFx ever gets stuck thinking that you are typing in a
346 text input.
347
348 ### 0.17.3 (2016-06-27)
349
350 - Improved: The `zF` command can now open even more dropdown menus of buttons.
351
352 ### 0.17.2 (2016-06-19)
353
354 - Improved: The `zF` command now works with more buttons and is able to open
355 dropdown menus of buttons.
356 - Fixed: The `f` commands now recognize more file upload buttons.
357 - Fixed: Rotating hint markers now works more as expected after having entered a
358 few hint chars.
359 - Fixed: Scrolling now works in SVG documents.
360 - Fixed: Opening links in new tabs in Firefox 50.
361 - Updated locales: pt-BR and ru. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)
362 and Nicholas Guriev (@mymedia2)!
363
364 ### 0.17.1 (2016-06-12)
365
366 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer accidentally double-clicks instead of
367 single-clicking. Thanks to Alan Wu (@XrXr)!
368 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer crashes in Firefox 49+.
369 - Fixed: The “URL popup,” shown when hovering or focusing links, now appears
370 again when focusing links using `zf` (regression since 0.17.0).
371 - Updated locale: it. Thanks to Carlo Bertoldi (@cbertoldi)!
372
373 ### 0.17.0 (2016-06-08)
374
375 - Fixed: VimFx no longer scrolls smaller elements on a page instead of the
376 entire page on some sites.
377 - Improved: The `/`, `n` and `N` have been drastically sped up (when
378 [`find_from_top_of_viewport`][find_from_top_of_viewport-1] is on). Previously,
379 they appeared to freeze on some sites, but not anymore.
380 - Improved: You can no longer accidentally trigger VimFx between pressing `/`
381 and the find bar input being is focused.
382 - Improved: The `n` and `N` commands are now more robust.
383 - Improved: “Fullscreen” buttons and “Copy to clipboard” buttons can now be
384 activated the `f` command. Thanks to Alan Wu (@XrXr)!
385 - Changed: After having pressed `m` or `` ` `` VimFx no longer waits
386 indefinitely for you to press a mark key. Instead, the [timeout] option is
387 honored.
388 - Changed: After having pressed `m` or `` ` `` you can now press `<escape>` to
389 abort those commands.
390 - Changed: Find mode is no longer shown in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
391 dialog, to reduce clutter. (This can be changed through custom
392 [styling][styling-1].)
393 - Changed: The `?` command as well as the toolbar button now _toggle_ VimFx’s
394 Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (instead of always showing it, even if it was
395 already shown.)
396 - Changed: Counts are now ignored in Ignore mode. Previously, pressing number
397 keys would both send those key presses to the page _and_ contribute to the
398 count for commands (showing up in the bottom-right corner). This is no longer
399 the case.
400 - Updated locales: fr, zh-CN and zh-TW. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r),
401 @av2000ii and Robert Wang (@cyberrob)!

403 [find_from_top_of_viewport-1]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/288bd3317cbed3a57e42a754099b96efe6c1e38d/documentation/options.md#find_from_top_of_viewport

406
407 ### 0.16.1 (2016-05-29)
408
409 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer crashes (regression since 0.16.0).
410
411 ### 0.16.0 (2016-05-29)
412
413 - Fixed: The text input focus detection problems introduced in 0.15.1, which
414 sometimes caused VimFx commands to be triggered while typing in text inputs,
415 have been fixed.
416 - Improved: If you press `n` or `N` when there are are no matches for your
417 search, the find bar is no longer opened. Only a notification is shown. The
418 reliability of those notifications has also been improved.
419 - Improved: Hints mode now finds more links.
420 - Improved: Pressing `<c-enter>` in Hints mode now includes more elements.
421 - Updated locales: es, zh-CN. Thanks to @strel and @av2000ii!
422
423 ### 0.15.1 (2016-05-22)
424
425 - Improved: Better hints on Twitter.
426 - Improved: Compatibility with the [Evernote Web Clipper] add-on (and
427 potentially other add-ons with similar UI).
428 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!
429
430 [Evernote Web Clipper]: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/evernote-web-clipper/
431
432 ### 0.15.0 (2016-05-18)
433
434 - Improved: Hint markers now appear up to twice as fast on many pages. This is
435 done by creating the hint markers in two phases. Most are created in the
436 first, fast, phase. The rest take the same time as older VimFx versions to
437 show up.
438 - Fixed: VimFx no longer triggers commands while typing in fancy text inputs on
439 some sites, such as when composing a new tweet on Twitter. (See also the
440 [`blur_timeout`] pref.)
441 - Changed: The `<c-enter>` Hints mode command no longer _replaces_ all hint
442 markers on screen (with new ones for all elements on screen). Instead, it
443 _toggles_ your current hint markers with ones for all _other_ elements on
444 screen.
445 - Changed: There was a breaking change to the [`vimfx.setHintMatcher`] function
446 of the `frame.js` config file API. It no longer receives and returns an object
447 (of the shape `{type, semantic}`), but instead simply receives and returns the
448 `type` of the element.
449 - Improved: Some internal robustness refactoring.
450 - Updated locales: de, id, nl and zh-CN. Thanks to @just-barcodes, Yoppy
451 Halilintar (@comepradz), @HJTP, @av2000ii and @mozillazg.

456 ### 0.14.3 (2016-05-08)
457
458 - Fixed: Version 0.14.2 attempted to fix smooth scrolling speed in newer Firefox
459 versions. However, there was a tiny typo that caused the fix not to work. That
460 typo has been corrected.
461
462 ### 0.14.2 (2016-05-08)
463
464 - Fixed: Smooth scrolling speed is now correct again in newer Firefox versions.
465 - Fixed: The `yv` Caret mode command now only copies text that you can see on
466 screen (not any hidden text that might be on the page), making it truly work
467 like `zv` followed by `y`, as intended. This problem was very noticeable on
468 Slack. This also improves copying of 'contenteditable' elements using `yf`.
469 - Fixed: `<escape>` and arrow key handling as well as hint markers in the
470 devtools now work correctly again in newer Firefox versions.
471 - Fixed: VimFx no longer makes it impossible to open the Developer Toolbar.
472 - Improved: VimFx now ignores `<numlock>` and `<capslock>`. If your keyboard
473 sends `<numlock>` before some symbols, such as `<numlock>$` instead of just
474 `$`, shortcuts like `gx$` now work out of the box. This also means that you
475 can use `<capslock>` instead of `<shift>` when typing the `J` in `gJ`, for
476 example.
477 - Improved: Some minor cosmetic tweaks in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
478 dialog.
479
480 ### 0.14.1 (2016-04-30)
481
482 - Fixed: The Find commands (such as `/`, `n` and `N`) no longer crash on some
483 sites (regression since 0.14.0).
484
485 ### 0.14.0 (2016-04-29)
486
487 - Added: [Caret mode], which lets you copy text from web pages using the
488 keyboard.
489 - Improved: The Find commands (such as `/`, `n` and `N`) now search from the top
490 of the viewport, instead of from the top of the document, which is more
491 Vim-like and less disorienting. To read more about it (or to return to the
492 Firefox default behavior) please see the [`find_from_top_of_viewport`] pref.
493 - Improved: Compatibility with the [BackTrack Tab History] add-on.
494 - Added: The `<c-enter>` Hints mode command, which creates hint markers for
495 _all_ elements.
496 - Fixed: `__dirname` inside config files now works on Windows. Thanks to
497 Zhong Jianxin (@azuwis)!
498 - Fixed: Unnecessary full-page hint markers on some sites, such as Hackernews,
499 no longer appear.

504
505 ### 0.13.2 (2016-04-08)
506
507 - Improved: The “last position mark” `` ` `` now works more reliably.
508 - Improved: More video players are now recognized. Many video players lets you
509 press `<space>` while focused to toggle play/pause. VimFx tries to detect if
510 the currently focused element is a video player. If so, `<space>` is passed to
511 the video player instead of scrolling the page. (For those interested, see
512 also the [`adjustable_element_keys`] pref.)
513
514 [`adjustable_element_keys`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/645e35d7d82019b0551534c43926bc126e7105bd/documentation/options.md#adjustable_element_keys
515
516 ### 0.13.1 (2016-04-01)
517
518 - Fixed: Blacklisting of some XUL pages.
519 - Fixed: The current mode is no longer lost when a page loads. For example, if
520 you press `zF` while a page is loading, the markers no longer disappear.
521 - Fixed: Elements that you have focused using an `f` command no longer get stuck
522 appearing as if you’d put the mouse pointer.
523 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @mozillazg!
524
525 ### 0.13.0 (2016-03-19)
526
527 - Added: The `T` command, which opens a new tab after the current.
528 - Changed: The `gl` command now deals with _visited_ tabs only.
529 - Added: The [`gL`] command, which deals with <em>un</em>visited tabs only, in
530 oldest-first order. Use this to step through your unvisited background tabs in
531 the order you opened them (for example using the `F` command).
532 - Improved: The `gi` command no longer tries to focus the last focused text
533 input if it has been removed from the page. If so, it finds a new one instead.
534 - Fixed: You can now type in sidebar text inputs (such as in the history
535 sidebar) without having to switch to Ignore mode.
536 - Changed: If you enter Ignore mode you will now stay in Ignore mode in that tab
537 until you explicitly exit it (by pressing `<s-escape>`), even if you reload
538 the page or follow a link. If Ignore mode was entered automatically because of
539 the [blacklist][blacklist-2], though, you will be automatically returned to
540 Normal mode if
541 the URL changes to a non-blacklisted page.
542 - Added: VimFx can now automatically enter and exit Ignore mode based on the
543 currently focused element. Currently, the [wasavi] extension as well as
544 [CodeMirror] in Vim mode are detected. Both of those provide Vim-style
545 editors. This allows sending `<escape>` to those editors in order to exit
546 their Insert mode, without blurring the editor.
547 - Improved: CodeMirror editors now get better hints, keeping the cursor where
548 you left it.
549 - Improved: The [blacklist][blacklist-2] is now applied faster on some pages.
550 - Improved: Many audio and video elements are now recognized as “adjustable”,
551 allowing you to press for example `<space>` on them to toggle play/pause,
552 without scrolling the page.
553 - Improved: Scrolling by pages, such as using the `<space>` command, now takes
554 fixed heaears and footers into account, just like Firefox does.
555 - Fixed: Access keys now work correctly in context menus in the devtools and
556 `about:config`.
557 - Improved: The arrow keys now Just Work in the devtools, even if you have bound
558 them to VimFx commands.
559 - Changed: The public API has been removed, and turned into the Config file API.
560 If you were already using a config file, it will no longer work. You need to
561 set up a new one, but you should be able to simply copy and paste the contents
562 of the old one into the new one. Read the [config file] documentation for more
563 information.
564 - Changed: There are a few minor breaking changes to the API, though I doubt it
565 will affect anyone.
566 - If you use [`vimfx.on`], you probably need to adjust the arguments of the
567 your callbacks. They are now _always_ passed an object of data, instead of
568 sometimes passing the data directly.
569 - `match.focus` of [match object]s has been removed, and replaced by
570 `vim.focusType` of [vim object]s.
571 - Fixed: The toolbar button’s icon is now correctly sized when setting
572 `layout.css.devPixelsPerPx` to `2`. Thanks to Robert Ma (@Hexcles) and Dale
573 Whinham (@dwhinham)!
574 - Fixed: Find commands now work when the find bar was opened before the page had
575 finished loading.
576 - Improved: Lots of internal improvements. This should make VimFx faster, more
577 reliable and more responsive.
578 - All keyboard event handling (except `<late>` shortcuts) are now handled in
579 the UI process, instead of mostly in each tab’s web page content process.
580 This should make VimFx’s shortcuts more reliable and responsive.
581 - Removed all synchronous message passing (execpt for `<late>` keypresses).
582 Mozilla recommends using them only where absolutely necessary. Turns out
583 VimFx doesn’t need them anymore!
584 - The `f` commands are now more reliable. Before, they could crash on rare
585 occasions (on certain web pages), but that is less likely now.
586 - Less `MutationObserver`s are now used. This should improve performance.
587 - Less uncaught errors (especially on shutdown).
588 - Lots of minor improvements.
589 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!

599
600 ### 0.12.0 (2016-02-03)
601
602 - Improved: More clickable elements are now recognized. Most notably, elements
603 with click event listeners added by JavaScript now get hints.
604 - Improved: Autofocus prevention after using the `[` and `]` commands.
605 - Added: In VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (which can be opened by
606 pressing `?`) you can now click on any command to open VimFx’s settings page
607 in the Add-ons Manager and automatically select the text input for that
608 command, letting you edit its shortcuts. Tip: Use the `zF` command to click
609 without using the mouse.
610 - Changed: Autofocus is no longer prevented in Firefox internal pages, such as
611 `about:preferences`, `about:addons` and `about:config` (as well as other XUL
612 pages).
613 - Fixed: VimFx and the Beyond Australis extension do not conflict with each
614 other anymore.
615 - Fixed: The `gH` command no longer nags you about “No back/forward history”
616 even though there is.
617 - Added: The `gl` command now takes a [count][gl-count].
618 - Improved: Optimized CPU usage in Hints mode. (See also the [`hints_sleep`]
619 pref.)
620 - Improved: The `H` and `L` commands should now be more reliable in Firefox 43
621 and later.
622 - Changed: There was a tiny breaking change to the Public API, though I doubt it
623 will affect anyone. (See [commit 0ca807605e] if you’re especially interested.)
624 - Improved: _Several_ minor things, and some really nice internal refactoring.
625 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
626
627 [`hints_sleep`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/92b483c4a4f6da0b2c998267e0f01d3d999f93b6/documentation/options.md#hints_sleep

629 [commit 0ca807605e]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/commit/0ca807605e8d69fdc01ef9ce5d539cf66ce7d96f
630
631 ### 0.11.0 (2016-01-15)
632
633 - Fixed: The `` ` `` command is no longer broken.
634 - Fixed: Memory leak.
635 - Added: The `gl` command, which takes you to the most recent tab.
636 - Improved: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now scrollable using VimFx’s
637 scrolling commands. To allow for this, the search field is no longer
638 autofocused. Instead, press `/` to open it.
639 - Improved: Using the `f` commands, such as `f` and `zf`, now works like
640 actually moving your mouse onto the link, making hover menus and such-like
641 appear.
642 - Improved: VimFx should now work better with Google Drive Documents, Etherpad
643 and a few other fancy text editors.
644 - Improved: The `]` command now works on google.com.
645 - Improved: Checkboxes and menu items on gmail.com are now given hints by the
646 `f` command.
647 - Improved: The `gi` command now also recognizes 'contenteditable' elements.
648 - Improved: Hint markers now move along together with their elements.
649 - Fixed: Hint markers should now be correctly positioned when zooming.
650 - Fixed: The toolbar button icon should now look correctly on Retina screens.
651 - Added: You may now disable counts by using toggling the [`counts_enabled`]
652 pref.
653 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
654 - Improved: Several minor things.
655
656 [`counts_enabled`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8dae7aec9008595da31b939d5ae2d239849cf6dc/documentation/options.md#counts_enabled
657
658 ### 0.10.0 (2015-12-09)
659
660 - Added: The `zF` command, which lets you click browser elements.
661 - Improved: The scrolling commands can now scroll browser elements (in other
662 words, not only web page content), by first selecting the scollable element
663 using `zF`.
664 - Added: The `gr` command, which toggles [Reader View].
665 - Added: The `gX` command, which opens the Recently Closed Tabs menu at the
666 middle of the screen.
667 - Added: The keys you’ve typed so far of a command, as well the count, are now
668 shown in a [notification]. (You may disable this using the
669 [`notify_entered_keys`] pref.)
670 - Improved: When commands don’t do anything, they show a [notification] instead,
671 letting you know that you actually pressed the right keys. For example, if you
672 press `f` but there are no markable elements visible, a notification is shown
673 telling you so, instead of silently doing nothing.
674 - Improved: `<space>` now scrolls _about a line less_ than a full page, just
675 like Firefox does by default. `d` scroll about _half_ a line less (by
676 default), so that pressing `d` twice works like pressing `<space>` once. (See
677 the [`scroll.full_page_adjustment` and `scroll.half_page_adjustment`] prefs
678 for more information.)
679 - Improved: `gi` now only selects all text in its text input if you haven’t
680 focused a text input yet (allowing you to easily replace pre-filled text),
681 instead of _always_ doing so. Otherwise, it now puts the cursor where you left
682 off typing the last time.
683 - Fixed: The `f` commands now put the cursor where you left off typing the last
684 time when focusing a text input. Previously, they accidentally selected all
685 text in the text input (use `zf` for that behavior).
686 - Fixed: Yet a scrolling fix. VimFx’s scrolling commands should now “just work”
687 on even more sites.
688 - Fixed: AltGr should now work out of the box on Windows. (See the
689 [`ignore_ctrl_alt`] pref for more information.)
690 - Removed: The el-GR, hu and pl locales were sadly too out of date to be useful,
691 and nobody has shown interest in updating them, so they were removed.
692 - Updated locales: id, de and zh-CN. Thanks to Yoppy Halilintar, @just-barcodes
693 and @mozillazg!
694 - Fixed: Several tiny bugs.

701
702 ### 0.9.0 (2015-12-02)
703
704 - Fixed: Links with the `onclick` attribute can now be opened in new tabs again.
705 (Regression since 0.8.0.)
706 - Fixed: The text size in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now
707 correctly resized.
708 - Added: The `gH` command. It opens the back/forward button context menu in the
709 middle of the window, allowing you to choose a history entry with the arrow
710 keys and `<enter>`.
711
712 ### 0.8.0 (2015-12-01)
713
714 - Fixed: VimFx now works properly in tabs moved to other windows.
715 - Fixed: An unreliable check for multi-process mode has been eliminated, fixing
716 various problems for some users.
717 - Fixed: VimFx’s toolbar button now changes color correctly when switching
718 between blacklisted and non-blacklisted tabs.
719 - Fixed: Dead keys now work out of the box on Windows.
720 - Improved: Links with the `onclick` attribute (abused as buttons) can no longer
721 get the same hint as another link.
722 - Added: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (shown by pressing `?`) is now
723 searchable.
724 - Added: The `g/` command. It’s like `/` but searches links only.
725
726 - Added: [Marks].
727
728 - Use `ma` to mark the current scroll position and `` `a `` to return to it.
729 (You may substitute `a` with any key press.)
730 - Use ``` `` ``` to return to the position before the last `gg`, `G`, `0`,
731 `$`, `/`, `n`, `N` or `` ` ``. (You can change this mark using the
732 [`last_scroll_position_mark`] pref.)
733
734 - Added: Window commands.
735
736 - `w`: Open new window.
737 - `W`: Open new private window.
738 - `gw`: Move tab to new window.
739 - `gF`: Follow link in new window.

743
744 ### 0.7.3 (2015-11-22)
745
746 - Fixed: Scrolling now works correctly in pages in quirks mode (lacking a
747 doctype), such as Hackernews.
748 - Improved: The largest scrollable element is now detected better in frames.
749 - Fixed: Hints mode now exits correctly when focusing a text input using `af`,
750 or `f` with a count.
751
752 ### 0.7.2 (2015-11-21)
753
754 - Fixed: The blinking text caret now always appears correctly when focusing text
755 inputs.
756
757 ### 0.7.1 (2015-11-21)
758
759 - Fixed: The scrolling commands should now “just work” when using non-default
760 zoom or DPI settings, most notably on Google Groups.
761
762 ### 0.7.0 (2015-11-19)
763
764 - Changed: Instead of using system notifications, which turned out to be a bit
765 too intrusive, [notifications] are now similar to the “URL popup” (shown when
766 hovering or focusing links) but are placed on the opposite side,.
767 - Changed: The “Focus next element” and “Focus previous element” commands have
768 been removed. The reason they existed was to let `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` only
769 cycle between text inputs (as opposed to _all_ focusable elements) after
770 you’ve pressed `gi`. Now, `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` are handled specially instead,
771 and _only_ after pressing `gi`. The reason for this change is that the now
772 removed commands were too intrusive, breaking user habits. One of VimFx’s main
773 goal is _not_ to do that. (You can turn the special handling of `<tab>` and
774 `<s-tab>` off using the the new [`focus_previous_key` and `focus_next_key`]
775 prefs.)
776 - Fixed: The scrolling commands should now “just work” in a lot more situations,
777 most notably on Gmail and Google Groups. More scrollable elements are also
778 recognized by the `f` and `zf` commands.
779 - Improved: The right border of hint markers for scrollable elements is now
780 styled to remind of a scroll bar, making them easier to recognize among hints
781 for links.
782 - Improved/Changed: `J` and `gJ` now allow a count on the first tab.
783 Consequently, `K` and `gK` now allow a count on the _last_ tab.
784 - Changed: `gJ` and `gK` can no longer be used to pin or unpin tabs. They now
785 only wrap around tabs of the same pinned state. Use `gp` to toggle between
786 pinned and non-pinned.
787 - Fixed: Many elements that got a hint before VimFx 0.6.0 now do again.
788 - Improved: Comment fields on Facebook can now be focused using `f` and blurred
789 using `<escape>`.
790 - Improved: VimFx’s toolbar button is no greyed out when you focus a text input.
791 This is to show that your key presses will be passed into the text input
792 rather than activating VimFx commands.
793 - Added: [`g0`, `g^` and `g$` now accept counts][tab-index-counts], allowing you
794 to go to tab number _count._
795 - Improved: `gi` now finds text inputs inside frames.
796 - Fixed: “gi mode” is now exited properly when blurring a text input.
797 - Fixed: `<select>` elements are no longer considered to be text inputs when
798 using `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` in “gi mode.”
799 - Fixed: Using `<force>` or `<late>` in a shortcut no longer applies to _every_
800 shortcut for the command, but only that shortcut.
801 - Fixed: The order of the Previous/Next page patterns is now respected. This

808 ### 0.6.2 (2015-11-11)
809
810 - Improved: If the entire page isn’t scrollable, the largest scrollable element
811 is scrolled instead.
812 - Fixed: VimFx’s keyboard shortcuts now works on slowly loading pages.
813 - Fixed: Numbers may now be used as shortcut keys (overriding counts).
814 - Fixed: The toolbar button’s icon is now correctly sized in high DPI.
815 - Fixed: Hint markers are now correctly positioned when zooming using the “Zoom

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

1019
1020 ### 0.5.17 (2015-01-23)
1021
1022 - Fixed: The hints generation no longer crashes on some pages (regression since
1023 version 0.5.15).
1024
1025 ### 0.5.16 (2015-01-22)
1026
1027 - Fixed: The toolbar button no longer throws errors. (This fix should have been
1028 in 0.5.15 but was forgotten. Luckily an AMO reviewer found it.)
1029
1030 ### 0.5.15 (2015-01-21)
1031
1032 - Improved: This version is now forwards-compatible with the upcoming version
1033 0.6.0. Downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.14 or older might cause VimFx to crash,
1034 but downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.15 is safe.
1035 - Fixed: Non-hintchars key presses in hints mode are now suppressed. They used
1036 to be passed along to the browser, which could confusingly activate site
1037 commands.
1038 - Fixed: The 'f' command now always opens links in the same tab. Links used to
1039 be able to force a new tab or window.
1040 - Fixed: Pressing 'Esc' in the location bar now restores the URL, as is the
1041 default behaviour of Firefox. You may now also close Firefox dialogs using
1042 'Esc'.
1043 - Improved: Updated the de locale. Thanks to Alexander Haeussler!
1044 - Improved: Updated the pl locale. Thanks to morethanoneanimal!
1045
1046 ### 0.5.14 (2014-08-16)
1047
1048 - Fixed: Locales should now work properly.
1049 - Improved: Updated the zh-CN locale (@mozillazg).
1050 - Improved: Updated the de locale (@Kambfhase).
1051 - Added: Japanese locale (@pluser).
1052 - Fixed: If you switched to another tab or window while an `<input>` element
1053 was focused and then switched back, the `<input>` element got blurred, while
1054 it should have stayed focused. This caused the auto-type feature of KeePassX
1055 to break.
1056
1057 ### 0.5.13 (2014-08-02)
1058
1059 - Fixed: The vote button on StackExchange sites are now markable again.
1060 - Improved: Detection of previous/next links. Should work better on gmail now.
1061 - Fixed: It is now possible to use Enter/Return in keyboard shortcuts.
1062 - Improved: The n/N commands (etc.) now work even if you didn’t open the finbar
1063 using the VimFx command (such as the default key binding ctrl+f, or by
1064 clicking a menu item).
1065 - Improved: It is now possible to blur text inputs without sending Esc to the
1066 page, which could cause dialogs etc. to annoyingly close.
1067 - Improved: Updated the el-GR locale (@sirodoht).
1068 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention sometimes made text inputs impossible to focus
1069 until you reloaded the page.
1070 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now works on more sites than before.
1071 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now prevents _all_ automatic focusing (not
1072 just when the page loads). This makes devdocs.io much easier to use.
1073 - Added: When viewing images directly and the image has been resized to fit the
1074 screen the image is now markable, allowing you to toggle zoom on it using the
1075 keyboard.
1076 - Fixed: It is no longer possible to add conflicting shortcuts (such as adding
1077 'a' when 'af' and 'as' are already present).
1078
1079 ### 0.5.12 (2014-06-01)
1080
1081 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention got stuck sometimes, making it impossible to
1082 focus inputs.
1083
1084 ### 0.5.11 (2014-06-01)
1085
1086 - Fixed: The focus search bar command was broken.
1087 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention was broken.
1088 - Fixed: The top bar on YouTube could not be accessed by VimFx.
1089 - Fixed: You can no longer add blank hotkeys.
1090 - Improved: Tab Groups are supported.
1091 - Improved: Matching of previous/next links should be more reliable.
1092 - Improved: A few minor things.
1093
1094 ### 0.5.10 (2014-05-07)
1095
1096 - Fixed yet another bug related to the default preferences
1097
1098 ### 0.5.9 (2014-05-04)
1099
1100 - Fixed a bug with default preferences not being set
1101 - Fixed gg and G to be faster
1102

1105 - AMO Preliminary Review bug fix (sorry for such long delay)
1106
1107 ### 0.5.7 (2014-03-03)

1151 - Simple shortcut customization with UI in Help dialog
1152 - Use Huffman coding algorithm for hint markers generation which results in
