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

85 ### 0.12.0 (2016-02-03)
87 - Improved: More clickable elements are now recognized. Most notably, elements
88 with click event listeners added by JavaScript now get hints.
89 - Improved: Autofocus prevention after using the `[` and `]` commands.
90 - Added: In VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (which can be opened by
91 pressing `?`) you can now click on any command to open VimFx’s settings page
92 in the Add-ons Manager and automatically select the text input for that
93 command, letting you edit its shortcuts. Tip: Use the `zF` command to click
94 without using the mouse.
95 - Changed: Autofocus is no longer prevented in Firefox internal pages, such as
96 `about:preferences`, `about:addons` and `about:config` (as well as other XUL
98 - Fixed: VimFx and the Beyond Australis extension do not conflict with each
100 - Fixed: The `gH` command no longer nags you about “No back/forward history”
101 even though there is.
102 - Added: The `gl` command now takes a [count][gl-count].
103 - Improved: Optimized CPU usage in Hints mode. (See also the [`hints_sleep`]
105 - Improved: The `H` and `L` commands should now be more reliable in Firefox 43
107 - Changed: There was a tiny breaking change to the Public API, though I doubt it
108 will affect anyone. (See [commit 0ca807605e] if you’re especially interested.)
109 - Improved: _Several_ minor things, and some really nice internal refactoring.
110 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
112 [`hints_sleep`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/92b483c4a4f6da0b2c998267e0f01d3d999f93b6/documentation/options.md#hints_sleep

114 [commit 0ca807605e]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/commit/0ca807605e8d69fdc01ef9ce5d539cf66ce7d96f
116 ### 0.11.0 (2016-01-15)
118 - Fixed: The `` ` `` command is no longer broken.
119 - Fixed: Memory leak.
120 - Added: The `gl` command, which takes you to the most recent tab.
121 - Improved: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now scrollable using VimFx’s
122 scrolling commands. To allow for this, the search field is no longer
123 autofocused. Instead, press `/` to open it.
124 - Improved: Using the `f` commands, such as `f` and `zf`, now works like
125 actually moving your mouse onto the link, making hover menus and such-like
127 - Improved: VimFx should now work better with Google Drive Documents, Etherpad
128 and a few other fancy text editors.
129 - Improved: The `]` command now works on google.com.
130 - Improved: Checkboxes and menu items on gmail.com are now given hints by the
132 - Improved: The `gi` command now also recognizes 'contenteditable' elements.
133 - Improved: Hint markers now move along together with their elements.
134 - Fixed: Hint markers should now be correctly positioned when zooming.
135 - Fixed: The toolbar button icon should now look correctly on Retina screens.
136 - Added: You may now disable counts by using toggling the [`counts_enabled`]
138 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
139 - Improved: Several minor things.
141 [`counts_enabled`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8dae7aec9008595da31b939d5ae2d239849cf6dc/documentation/options.md#counts_enabled
143 ### 0.10.0 (2015-12-09)
145 - Added: The `zF` command, which lets you click browser elements.
146 - Improved: The scrolling commands can now scroll browser elements (in other
147 words, not only web page content), by first selecting the scollable element
149 - Added: The `gr` command, which toggles [Reader View].
150 - Added: The `gX` command, which opens the Recently Closed Tabs menu at the
151 middle of the screen.
152 - Added: The keys you’ve typed so far of a command, as well the count, are now
153 shown in a [notification]. (You may disable this using the
154 [`notify_entered_keys`] pref.)
155 - Improved: When commands don’t do anything, they show a [notification] instead,
156 letting you know that you actually pressed the right keys. For example, if you
157 press `f` but there are no markable elements visible, a notification is shown
158 telling you so, instead of silently doing nothing.
159 - Improved: `<space>` now scrolls _about a line less_ than a full page, just
160 like Firefox does by default. `d` scroll about _half_ a line less (by
161 default), so that pressing `d` twice works like pressing `<space>` once. (See
162 the [`scroll.full_page_adjustment` and `scroll.half_page_adjustment`] prefs
163 for more information.)
164 - Improved: `gi` now only selects all text in its text input if you haven’t
165 focused a text input yet (allowing you to easily replace pre-filled text),
166 instead of _always_ doing so. Otherwise, it now puts the cursor where you left
167 off typing the last time.
168 - Fixed: The `f` commands now put the cursor where you left off typing the last
169 time when focusing a text input. Previously, they accidentally selected all
170 text in the text input (use `zf` for that behavior).
171 - Fixed: Yet a scrolling fix. VimFx’s scrolling commands should now “just work”
173 - Fixed: AltGr should now work out of the box on Windows. (See the
174 [`ignore_ctrl_alt`] pref for more information.)
175 - Removed: The el-GR, hu and pl locales were sadly too out of date to be useful,
176 and nobody has shown interest in updating them, so they were removed.
177 - Updated locales: id, de and zh-CN. Thanks to Yoppy Halilintar, @just-barcodes
179 - Fixed: Several tiny bugs.

187 ### 0.9.0 (2015-12-02)
189 - Fixed: Links with the `onclick` attribute can now be opened in new tabs again.
190 (Regression since 0.8.0.)
191 - Fixed: The text size in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now
193 - Added: The `gH` command. It opens the back/forward button context menu in the
194 middle of the window, allowing you to choose a history entry with the arrow
197 ### 0.8.0 (2015-12-01)
199 - Fixed: VimFx now works properly in tabs moved to other windows.
200 - Fixed: An unreliable check for multi-process mode has been eliminated, fixing
201 various problems for some users.
202 - Fixed: VimFx’s toolbar button now changes color correctly when switching
203 between blacklisted and non-blacklisted tabs.
204 - Fixed: Dead keys now work out of the box on Windows.
205 - Improved: Links with the `onclick` attribute (abused as buttons) can no longer
206 get the same hint as another link.
207 - Added: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (shown by pressing `?`) is now
209 - Added: The `g/` command. It’s like `/` but searches links only.
213 - Use `ma` to mark the current scroll position and `` `a `` to return to it.
214 (You may substitute `a` with any key press.)
215 - Use ``` `` ``` to return to the position before the last `gg`, `G`, `0`,
216 `$`, `/`, `n`, `N` or `` ` ``. (You can change this mark using the
217 [`last_scroll_position_mark`] pref.)
219 - Added: Window commands.
221 - `w`: Open new window.
222 - `W`: Open new private window.
223 - `gw`: Move tab to new window.
224 - `gF`: Follow link in new window.

229 ### 0.7.3 (2015-11-22)
231 - Fixed: Scrolling now works correctly in pages in quirks mode (lacking a
232 doctype), such as Hackernews.
233 - Improved: The largest scrollable element is now detected better in frames.
234 - Fixed: Hints mode now exits correctly when focusing a text input using `af`,
237 ### 0.7.2 (2015-11-21)
239 - Fixed: The blinking text caret now always appears correctly when focusing text
242 ### 0.7.1 (2015-11-21)
244 - Fixed: The scrolling commands should now “just work” when using non-default
245 zoom or DPI settings, most notably on Google Groups.
247 ### 0.7.0 (2015-11-19)
249 - Changed: Instead of using system notifications, which turned out to be a bit
250 too intrusive, [notifications] are now similar to the “URL popup” (shown when
251 hovering or focusing links) but are placed on the opposite side,.
252 - Changed: The “Focus next element” and “Focus previous element” commands have
253 been removed. The reason they existed was to let `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` only
254 cycle between text inputs (as opposed to _all_ focusable elements) after
255 you’ve pressed `gi`. Now, `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` are handled specially instead,
256 and _only_ after pressing `gi`. The reason for this change is that the now
257 removed commands were too intrusive, breaking user habits. One of VimFx’s main
258 goal is _not_ to do that. (You can turn the special handling of `<tab>` and
259 `<s-tab>` off using the the new [`focus_previous_key` and `focus_next_key`]
261 - Fixed: The scrolling commands should now “just work” in a lot more situations,
262 most notably on Gmail and Google Groups. More scrollable elements are also
263 recognized by the `f` and `zf` commands.
264 - Improved: The right border of hint markers for scrollable elements is now
265 styled to remind of a scroll bar, making them easier to recognize among hints
267 - Improved/Changed: `J` and `gJ` now allow a count on the first tab.
268 Consequently, `K` and `gK` now allow a count on the _last_ tab.
269 - Changed: `gJ` and `gK` can no longer be used to pin or unpin tabs. They now
270 only wrap around tabs of the same pinned state. Use `gp` to toggle between
271 pinned and non-pinned.
272 - Fixed: Many elements that got a hint before VimFx 0.6.0 now do again.
273 - Improved: Comment fields on Facebook can now be focused using `f` and blurred
275 - Improved: VimFx’s toolbar button is no greyed out when you focus a text input.
276 This is to show that your key presses will be passed into the text input
277 rather than activating VimFx commands.
278 - Added: [`g0`, `g^` and `g$` now accept counts][tab-index-counts], allowing you
279 to go to tab number _count._
280 - Improved: `gi` now finds text inputs inside frames.
281 - Fixed: “gi mode” is now exited properly when blurring a text input.
282 - Fixed: `<select>` elements are no longer considered to be text inputs when
283 using `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` in “gi mode.”
284 - Fixed: Using `<force>` or `<late>` in a shortcut no longer applies to _every_
285 shortcut for the command, but only that shortcut.
286 - Fixed: The order of the Previous/Next page patterns is now respected. This
287 caused the wrong link to be picked by the `[` and `]` commands on some pages.

293 ### 0.6.2 (2015-11-11)
295 - Improved: If the entire page isn’t scrollable, the largest scrollable element
297 - Fixed: VimFx’s keyboard shortcuts now works on slowly loading pages.
298 - Fixed: Numbers may now be used as shortcut keys (overriding counts).
299 - Fixed: The toolbar button’s icon is now correctly sized in high DPI.
300 - Fixed: Hint markers are now correctly positioned when zooming using the “Zoom
302 - Fixed: The `P` command now works with the InstantFox add-on.
304 ### 0.6.1 (2015-11-10)
306 - Fixed: If you customized the “esc” command before VimFx 0.6.0 it should now
308 - Fixed: `<tab>` now works as expected in the location bar and in the dev tools.
309 - Fixed: Light-weight themes can no longer make VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
310 dialog and hint markers unreadable.
311 - Added: The [notifications\_enabled] option.
313 [notifications\_enabled]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/56c4b7c514ea8b58d2cdcecf3d2654648c48ca31/documentation/options.md#notifications_enabled
315 ### 0.6.0 (2015-11-09)
317 ##### Most important (breaking) changes
319 - VimFx now works properly with **any keyboard layout.** Users of **multiple
320 layouts** should enable the **[ignore keyboard layout] option.** #249 #259
322 - Features related to disabling VimFx, and to the [toolbar button]:
324 - **Insert Mode** has been renamed to **_Ignore_ mode.**
325 - **[Blacklisted][blacklist] sites** now **enter Ignore mode automatically,**
326 instead of being specially handled.
327 - The feature to click the toolbar button (or press `<a-V>`) to **disable
328 VimFx** has been **removed.** Use **Ignore mode** (`i`) and the
329 **[blacklist] instead.**
330 - The **toolbar button** is now **red in Ignore mode** (which also means that
331 it is red on blacklisted sites) and green otherwise (never grey anymore).
332 - The toolbar button no longer offers to (un-)blacklist the current domain.
333 (Head into VimFx’s settings page in the Add-ons Manager and add
334 `*currentdomain.com*` to the [blacklist] option yourself instead.)
336 (See [commit 3552282] for more information.)
338 - **Some default shortcuts have changed,** mostly because they conflicted with
339 standard Firefox shortcuts: #308
345 - `g^` and `gH` → `g0`
347 `g^` now selects the first _non pinned_ tab instead, while `g0`
348 selects the first tab regardless of whether it is pinned or not. #317
350 - `<c-e>` (alias for `j`) and `<c-y>` (alias for `k`) have been removed.
352 - `<c-f>` → `<space>` and `<c-b>` → `<s-space>`
356 This frees up `v` for future shortcuts (instead making `z` a
357 “namespace” key, just like in Vim).
359 - To **exit Ignore mode:** `<escape>` → `<s-escape>`. This is because Ignore
360 mode has replaced the disable feature, as well as the special blacklist
361 state (see above). Sites are likely to use `<escape>` but not `<s-escape>`.
362 (In a way, this new role of Ignore mode also means that the old (many times
363 broken) shortcut to disable VimFx (`<a-V>`) has been replaced by `i`.) #64
366 - VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now help only, and more accessible.
367 To **customize keyboard shortcuts,** go to VimFx’s settings page **in the
368 Add-ons Manager,** just like you would to customize other settings. Also,
369 **commas** between every key are **no longer needed:** Type `gJ` instead of
372 - For performance reasons, **Hint markers** are now placed vertically **centered
373 instead of at the top** of the element. Don’t be surprised if you see the same
374 hint repeated several times**—links that go to the same place now get the same
375 hint.** The “Smart hints” option has been removed—hints are _always_ smart
376 now, and a lot smarter than before. Finally, hints now also work in the new
377 tab page, the Add-ons Manager and the preferences page. If you want to, you
378 can read more about [the `f` commands]. \#51 #60 #176 #320 #325 #468 #471 #475
380 - The **`F`** command now _always_ opens tabs in new **background** tabs, while
381 **`gf`** has been added to open tabs in new **foreground** tabs. #227 #464
383 - **Autofocus prevention** is now **off by default.** One of VimFx’s core
384 philosophies is to be nice to your browser habits. Some find autofocus
385 prevention too big a change. Turn it on again if you like it! By the way,
386 autofocus prevention now works much more reliably and should not cause issues
387 with other extensions. #497 #541
389 - The **“Scroll step”** option has been **removed**. The scrolling commands that
390 used it now **work like the arrow keys instead,** and are customized just like
391 them. See [scrolling prefs] for more information.
393 - Speaking of scrolling, **which elements scrolls** when you use VimFx’s
394 scrolling commands **has changed.** See [scrolling commands] for more
401 - `gp` pins or unpins the current tab. (Also see `g^` and `g0` mentioned
403 - `yt` duplicates the current tab. #121
404 - `0` and `^` scroll to the far left, and `$` scrolls to the far right.
405 - [`gi`] has finally been implemented. #47
406 - [Ignore mode `<s-f1>`] let you run a Normal mode command without exiting
409 - In Hints mode you can now hold ctrl and alt to change behavior of the matched
410 marker. Hold shift to temporarily make the hints see-through. See [the `f`
411 commands] for more information. #220 #421 #484
413 - Some commands now accept [counts]. #374
415 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that work inside text inputs. See the
416 [`<force>`] key for more information. #258
418 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that the page can override. See the
419 [`<late>`] key for more information.
421 - A number of [advanced options] have been added. Rather than listing everything
422 regarding them here, follow that link if you’re interested. #452 #489
424 - You may now, if you want to, configure VimFx through a [config file], using
425 the new [public API]. Customizing VimFx through a config file also gives extra
426 abilities, such as [site-specific options][option-overrides] and [disabling
427 certain commands on certain sites][key-overrides]. It also allows to add
428 [custom commands] \(and other extensions to extend VimFx). #158 #235 #255 #261
429 \#300 #408 #445 #490 #515
431 - It is now easier to customize VimFx through custom [styling]. An example is
432 changing the way hint markers look. #220 #233 #424 #432 #465
434 - VimFx now has [documentation] and a [wiki].
436 - A few new locales were added:
438 - fr. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r)!
439 - pt-BR. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)!
440 - sv-SE. Thanks to Andreas Lindhé (@lindhe)!
444 - VimFx is now multi-process/Electrolysis/e10s compatible! This means that you
445 can run VimFx on a version of Firefox with multi-process enabled without
446 issues, and that we’re future proof for the day when Firefox becomes
447 multi-process by default. Best of all, it also made VimFx more reliable in
448 non-multi-process (“regular”) Firefox. #378
450 - The `[` and `]` commands are now smarter, recognizing more links to the
451 previous/next page correctly. You may read more about [previous/next page
454 - The `n` and `N` commands now notify you when they wrap around the page, or the
455 phrase you searched for could not be found. #398
457 - _All_ shortcuts in _all modes_ can now be customized. For example, this allows
458 you to disable VimFx’s Vim-style `<enter>` behavior in the find bar. #222 #390
461 - The `p` and `P` commands are now smarter regarding whether to treat the
462 clipboard contents as a URL or a search, by working exactly like pasting in
463 the location bar. They also now read the selection clipboard, if available.
466 - VimFx’s toolbar button is now properly implemented. #303 #349 #383
468 - Most locales were updated. Thanks to our awesome [translators]!
470 ##### Minor bug fixes
472 - VimFx now works correctly in tabs dragged to other windows. #57
473 - The `p` command is no longer broken. #494
474 - Non-ASCII shortcut keys now work properly. #433
475 - The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog can no longer be covered by page elements.
477 - Hint markers can no longer be covered by page elements.
478 - VimFx no longer causes scripts on icloud.com to get stuck in an infinite loop.

507 - Fixed: The hints generation no longer crashes on some pages (regression since
510 ### 0.5.16 (2015-01-22)
512 - Fixed: The toolbar button no longer throws errors. (This fix should have been
513 in 0.5.15 but was forgotten. Luckily an AMO reviewer found it.)
515 ### 0.5.15 (2015-01-21)
517 - Improved: This version is now forwards-compatible with the upcoming version
518 0.6.0. Downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.14 or older might cause VimFx to crash,
519 but downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.15 is safe.
520 - Fixed: Non-hintchars key presses in hints mode are now suppressed. They used
521 to be passed along to the browser, which could confusingly activate site
523 - Fixed: The 'f' command now always opens links in the same tab. Links used to
524 be able to force a new tab or window.
525 - Fixed: Pressing 'Esc' in the location bar now restores the URL, as is the
526 default behaviour of Firefox. You may now also close Firefox dialogs using
528 - Improved: Updated the de locale. Thanks to Alexander Haeussler!

531 ### 0.5.14 (2014-08-16)
533 - Fixed: Locales should now work properly.
534 - Improved: Updated the zh-CN locale (@mozillazg).
535 - Improved: Updated the de locale (@Kambfhase).
536 - Added: Japanese locale (@pluser).
537 - Fixed: If you switched to another tab or window while an `<input>` element
538 was focused and then switched back, the `<input>` element got blurred, while
539 it should have stayed focused. This caused the auto-type feature of KeePassX
542 ### 0.5.13 (2014-08-02)
544 - Fixed: The vote button on StackExchange sites are now markable again.
545 - Improved: Detection of previous/next links. Should work better on gmail now.
546 - Fixed: It is now possible to use Enter/Return in keyboard shortcuts.

548 using the VimFx command (such as the default key binding ctrl+f, or by
549 clicking a menu item).
550 - Improved: It is now possible to blur text inputs without sending Esc to the
551 page, which could cause dialogs etc. to annoyingly close.
552 - Improved: Updated the el-GR locale (@sirodoht).
553 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention sometimes made text inputs impossible to focus
554 until you reloaded the page.
555 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now works on more sites than before.
556 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now prevents _all_ automatic focusing (not
557 just when the page loads). This makes devdocs.io much easier to use.
558 - Added: When viewing images directly and the image has been resized to fit the
559 screen the image is now markable, allowing you to toggle zoom on it using the
561 - Fixed: It is no longer possible to add conflicting shortcuts (such as adding
562 'a' when 'af' and 'as' are already present).
564 ### 0.5.12 (2014-06-01)
566 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention got stuck sometimes, making it impossible to
