3 ### 0.21.0 (2019-05-15)
4
5 ### 0.21.0 (2019-05-15)
6
7 - Removed: The Developer Toolbar integration, such as the `:` shortcut. That
8 feature has been removed from Firefox and the integration was causing issues
9 on newer Firefox versions. Thanks to Tobias Girstmair (@girst)!
10 - Fixed: VimFx should now work on Waterfox again. Tested with Waterfox 56,
11 Firefox 56, Firefox 64 and Waterfox 68. Thanks to Tobias Girstmair (@girst)
12 and @matsuhav!
13
14 ### 0.20.15 (2018-08-06)
15
16 - Fixed: Find mode now works properly again. Thanks to @matsuhav!
17
18 ### 0.20.14 (2018-05-15)
19
20 - Fixed: VimFx should now work properly in Firefox 61 (if you have enabled
21 legacy extensions) as well as older versions of Firefox. The latest few
22 versions have been a bit buggy, but things should work better now. Thanks to
23 Kevin Cox (@kevincox) and 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
24
25 ### 0.20.13 (2018-05-06)
26
27 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 61 (if you have enabled legacy
28 extensions). Thanks to Kevin Cox (@kevincox), 依云 (@lilydjwg) and Jan
29 Kokemüller (@jiixyj)!
30
31 ### 0.20.12 (2018-01-23)
32
33 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 59 (if you have enabled legacy
34 extensions). Thanks to Kevin Cox (@kevincox) and 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
35 - Updated locale: es. Thanks to @strel!
36
37 ### 0.20.11 (2017-11-19)
38
39 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 58 (if you have enabled legacy
40 extensions). Thanks to 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
41
42 ### 0.20.10 (2017-03-25)
43
44 - Improved: Autofocus is now prevented when going back in history on pages that
45 use `history.pushState()` (in other words, on the 'popstate' event).
46 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!
47
48 ### 0.20.9 (2017-02-21)
49
50 - Fixed: The `yy` command now works as expected in Reader Mode.
51
52 ### 0.20.8 (2017-01-14)
53
54 - Improved: The scrolling commands now scroll the closest scrollable parent of
55 the currently focused element (if it is not scrollable itself). This is
56 noticeable for Twitter’s modals, which are often scrollable. No longer any
57 need to use the `f` or `ef` commands to scroll those modals!
58
59 ### 0.20.7 (2017-01-07)
60
61 - Improved: The `[` and `]` commands now work in Google search results.
62 - Improved: You can now show the “emoji picker” of the “like” button on Facebook
63 by using the `ef` command.
64 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @interleaved!
65
66 ### 0.20.6 (2016-12-16)
67
68 - Fixed: The `'`, `g[` and `g]` commands no longer crash. (Regression since
69 0.20.5.)
70 - Fixed: The `ef` command can now focus elements in deeply nested frames again.
71 (Regression since 0.19.0.)
72 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` and `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` are now properly
73 undone when reloading a config file (`gC`).
74 - Improved: Hint markers for elements with multiline text no longer cover the
75 text.
76 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @interleaved!
77
78 ### 0.20.5 (2016-12-04)
79
80 - Fixed: Scrolling by holding `d`, `u`, `<space>` or `<s-space>` no longer goes
81 slower and slower (and finally grinding to a halt) on long pages with lots of
82 elements. (See also the [`scroll.repeat_timeout`] pref.)
83 - Improved: All config API functions now validate all their parameters properly.
84 This provides a better user experience, and, most importantly, prevents VimFx
85 from crashing on certain invalid input.
86
87 [`scroll.repeat_timeout`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/58deb3f7b7c470a4d705f1dabf7aa13e095e8d09/documentation/options.md#smooth-scrolling
88
89 ### 0.20.4 (2016-11-16)
90
91 - Fixed: The `n` and `N` commands now work in Firefox’s PDF viewer.
92 - Fixed: The `eb` command can now click the tab bar scroll buttons.
93 - Fixed: Elements marked by the `eb` command now correctly get hints based on
94 their area again.
95 - Improved: The `eb` command now favors the browser tabs and their close
96 buttons, giving them better hints.
97 - Improved: The hints given to the browser tabs by the `eb` command are now
98 consistent no matter how many tabs you have open. This means that the first
99 tab always gets the same hint, the second tab always get the same hint, and so
100 on.
101 - Improved: Hint markers are now placed next to the text of the element if
102 appropriate. For example, the hint marker for a button with centered text is
103 now placed just to the left of the text rather than at the left edge of
104 button. This is nice because it means that hint markers usually end up where
105 you were just reading.
106 - Improved: The positioning of hint markers has been fine-tuned by a pixel or so
107 in some cases.
108 - Improved: Custom styled checkboxes and radio buttons now get hint markers
109 faster (they are now found in the first pass rather than the second).
110 - Improved: Compatibility with the [Tab Center] add-on.
111 - Improved: Blurring the location bar is now more consistent. Previously, its
112 text wasn’t reset if the autocomplete popup was open when you pressed
113 `<escape>` to blur it.
114 - Fixed: An edge case where the wrong hint markers could be highlighted.
115
116 [Tab Center]: https://testpilot.firefox.com/experiments/tab-center/
117
118 ### 0.20.3 (2016-10-22)
119
120 - Improved: Full page scrolling now recognizes the fixed footer on medium.com.
121 - Fixed: Scrollable element can now be focused with the `f` command again (not
122 just with the `ef` command). (Regression since 0.19.0.)
123 - Fixed: `<escape>` is no longer accidentally leaked to the page when used to
124 blur text inputs. This allows blurring text inputs in modals without closing
125 the modal (which `<escape>` commonly does otherwise).
126
127 ### 0.20.2 (2016-10-16)
128
129 - Fixed: Text inputs and links inside frames can now be focused using hint
130 commands again. (Regression since 0.19.0.)
131 - Improved: Previously focused text inputs inside frames no longer steal the
132 focus when entering Caret mode in that frame.
133 - Improved: When several hint markers have the same hint (because their links
134 go to the same place), the _largest_ of those links is now chosen when
135 activating that hint. This might be noticeable via focus styling.
136 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @av2000ii!
137
138 ### 0.20.1 (2016-10-09)
139
140 - Improved: Caret mode is now a bit more robust. It can no longer make you end
141 up with [Firefox’s own Caret mode] accidentally enabled.
142 - Improved: If you try use for example `<ctrl>-j` as a keyboard shortcut, VimFx
143 will now tell you that you probably want `<c-j>` instead.
144 - Fixed: Using a keyboard shortcut to switch keyboard layout in GNOME while
145 inside a text input no longer causes the focus of that text input to be lost
146 when the Prevent autofocus option is enabled.
147 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @av2000ii!

149 [Firefox’s own Caret mode]: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Accessibility_features_of_Firefox#Allow_text_to_be_selected_with_the_keyboard
150
151 ### 0.20.0 (2016-10-02)
152
153 - Added: The `g[` and `g]` commands, which let you scroll to previous and next
154 scroll positions of the current page. This is similar to Vim’s jump list.
155 - Added: The `/` mark. Pressing `'/` takes you to the scroll position before the
156 last `/`, `a/` or `g/`.
157 - Fixed: Pressing `''` multiple times in a row now flips back and forth
158 between two scroll positions as expected.
159 - Fixed: Version 0.19.0 claimed to include the following improvement: “The hint
160 marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for a larger
161 element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).” However, a silly
162 mistake caused that improvement not to work. Now it does. For real.
163 - Fixed: All VimFx commands that copy text to the clipboard are now made sure to
164 also copy to the “selection clipboard” (if your system has such a thing). For
165 example, if you copy text using the `yv` command, the `p` command now uses
166 that copied text as expected.
167
168 ### 0.19.1 (2016-09-26)
169
170 - Fixed: The `'` command no longer crashes. (Regression since 0.19.0.)
171
172 ### 0.19.0 (2016-09-25)
173
174 #### Changes and improvements to Hints mode
175
176 **New feature:** Hint markers can now be filtered by element text, similar to
177 Vimium, Vimperator and Pentadactyl. This is useful for people who simply prefer
178 that workflow, and for clicking tiny pagination links (simply type its number!).
179
180 By default, filtering by element text is done by typing _uppercase_ characters
181 (hold down shift!). All characters other than the hint characters are now used
182 to filter hint markers by element text (rather than just being ignored). Do you
183 prefer filtering by element text, but dislike typing uppercase letters? Have a
184 look at how [hint characters] work to make things the other way around!
185
186 The markers with the best hint are now highlighted with a different color. You
187 may at any time press `<enter>` to activate those markers (or `<c-enter>` or
188 `<a-enter>` to change where and how to open links, just like you can hold ctrl
189 or alt for the last hint character).
190
191 Because of the above new features, the following default **Hints mode shortcuts
192 had to be changed:**
193
194 - `<space>` → `<c-space>` (`<s-space>` is left untouched)
195 - `<s->` → `<c-s->` (hold ctrl _and_ shift to peek through hint markers)
196 - `<enter>` → `<up>`
197 - `<c-enter>` → `<c-backspace>`
198
199 To make it easier to see the element text, hint markers are now nudged to the
200 left if they cover the text.
201
202 Other hint marker improvements:
203
204 - Hint markers are now 20% smaller by default. While trying to match text sizes
205 set by your operating system, they ended up a bit too large on most systems.
206 Check out the [Styling] documentation if you’d like to change the font size.
207 - Hint markers now have stronger contrast between the background color and the
208 text color, which should make them easier to read.
209 - The CSS for hint markers have been improved, making it easier to use custom
210 [Styling].
211 - When several elements have the same area, the best hint is now correctly given
212 to the _first_ of those elements. Previously, it happened to be the other way
213 around.
214 - The hint marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for
215 a larger element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).
216 - Hint markers are now better positioned when having zoomed the page in or out.
217 - Hints mode is now more robust in general. Several race conditions have been
218 fixed.

222
223 #### Other updates
224
225 - Added: The ability to **export, import and reset all** VimFx options. There
226 are three shiny new buttons for this in VimFx’s options page in the Add-ons
227 Manager!
228 - Added: The `gB` command, which lets you **quickly blacklist** (and
229 un-blacklist) sites.
230 - Added: The `ec` command, for opening the context menu of elements.
231 - Added: The `ep` command, for opening links in new private windows.
232 - Improved: `h`, `l`, `j` and `k` now feel more like scrolling with the arrow
233 keys when held down, by boosting the scrolling speed. See the
234 [`scroll.horizontal_boost` and `scroll.vertical_boost`][scroll-boost] options
235 for more information.
236 - Fixed: VimFx’s find bar integration is now much more robust. Most notably, if
237 you start typing directly after pressing `/` and Firefox is slow at opening
238 the find bar, your keypresses can no longer trigger VimFx commands or Firefox
239 built-in commands.
240 - Improved: VimFx no longer leaks keypresses to the web page in some modes. (For
241 example, counts in Caret mode).
242 - Improved: The `eb` command now finds more clickable elements in the devtools.
243 - Changed: `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` no longer lets you easily break for example
244 Hints mode, by now only being applied to Normal mode. You might need to change
245 your matchers from `(location, mode) => ...` to simply `location => ...`.
246 (Breaking API change.)
247 - Changed: The object passed to custom commands (and custom modes) no longer
248 contains a `uiEvent` property. Instead, there’s an `event` property. This
249 property can be used the same way if you check `vim.isUIEvent(event)` first.
250 (Breaking API change.)
251
252 [scroll-boost]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8bafdf0454043c1630bac8b13d13f1fb4e5ee9e7/documentation/options.md#scrollhorizontal_boost-and-scrollvertical_boost
253
254 ### 0.18.1 (2016-08-27)
255
256 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` no longer crashes on startup.
257 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` can now override the `prevent_autofocus`
258 pref again.
259
260 ### 0.18.0 (2016-08-20)
261
262 #### Changed default shortcuts
263
264 Some default keyboard shortcuts have been changed.
265
266 - Hint commands. Many of the old ones were difficult to remember, and there was
267 no space for adding new ones.
268
269 - `gf` → `et` (t as in tab)
270 - `gF` → `ew` (w as in window)
271 - `zf` → `ef` (f as in focus)
272 - `zF` → `eb` (b as in browser)
273 - `zv` → `av` (you actually select _all_ of the element’s text)
274
275 (`f`, `yf`, `af`, `v` and `yv` stay unchanged.)
276
277 There is a longer [explanation of these new defaults][hint-shortcuts] in the
278 documentation.
279
280 - `zr` → `gC`. `zr` was the only shortcut starting with `z`. This frees that key
281 up for other uses.
282
283 - `` ` `` → `'`. The `` ` `` shortcut (“scroll to mark”) as well as the `` ` ``
284 mark (“last position mark”) have both been changed to `'`. Both `` ` `` and
285 `'` are used in Vim. `'` is a better default, because it is easier to
286 type–both on an en-US QWERTY keyboard and, more importantly, on some
287 international layouts, such as the sv-SE QWERTY layout.
288
289 Note: If you miss Firefox’s default `'` shortcut to open the Quick Find bar
290 (which is now overridden), remember that VimFx provides `g/` which does the
291 same thing. (You can of course also change VimFx’s shortcuts.)
292
293 See also issue [#788].

296 [#788]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/issues/788
297
298 #### Other updates
299
300 - Added: It is now possible to create [custom hint commands].
301 - Fixed: The bottom-right corner of the page scrollbars can now be used with the
302 mouse again.
303 - Fixed: The toolbar button now correctly toggles VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts
304 dialog again.
305 - Updated locales: fr, ru. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r) and Nicholas
306 Guriev (@mymedia2)!
307
308 [custom hint commands]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/e8d9df31dd5c8df999ac22e3b3b8d548a68c6fa7/documentation/api.md#custom-hint-commands
309
310 ### 0.17.4 (2016-07-11)
311
312 - Improved: The usage of modifier keys in Hints mode is now shown in VimFx’s
313 Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog. The functionality has been there for a long
314 time, but should now be easier to find. Thanks to our awesome translators,
315 the new help text is already available in most supported locales!
316 - Improved: If you submit a form while still being inside one of its text
317 inputs, that text input is now automatically blurred. This lets you use VimFx
318 commands while waiting for the form to submit without having to press
319 `<escape>` first.
320 - Improved: The `gu` command now works better on some pages, by preserving a
321 trailing slash. Thanks to @sinkuu!
322 - Improved: VimFx now recognizes text areas in the TYPO3 CMS.
323 - Improved: The `<escape>` command and the toolbar button now let you escape
324 back to Normal mode if VimFx ever gets stuck thinking that you are typing in a
325 text input.
326
327 ### 0.17.3 (2016-06-27)
328
329 - Improved: The `zF` command can now open even more dropdown menus of buttons.
330
331 ### 0.17.2 (2016-06-19)
332
333 - Improved: The `zF` command now works with more buttons and is able to open
334 dropdown menus of buttons.
335 - Fixed: The `f` commands now recognize more file upload buttons.
336 - Fixed: Rotating hint markers now works more as expected after having entered a
337 few hint chars.
338 - Fixed: Scrolling now works in SVG documents.
339 - Fixed: Opening links in new tabs in Firefox 50.
340 - Updated locales: pt-BR and ru. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)
341 and Nicholas Guriev (@mymedia2)!
342
343 ### 0.17.1 (2016-06-12)
344
345 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer accidentally double-clicks instead of
346 single-clicking. Thanks to Alan Wu (@XrXr)!
347 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer crashes in Firefox 49+.
348 - Fixed: The “URL popup,” shown when hovering or focusing links, now appears
349 again when focusing links using `zf` (regression since 0.17.0).
350 - Updated locale: it. Thanks to Carlo Bertoldi (@cbertoldi)!
351
352 ### 0.17.0 (2016-06-08)
353
354 - Fixed: VimFx no longer scrolls smaller elements on a page instead of the
355 entire page on some sites.
356 - Improved: The `/`, `n` and `N` have been drastically sped up (when
357 [`find_from_top_of_viewport`][find_from_top_of_viewport-1] is on). Previously,
358 they appeared to freeze on some sites, but not anymore.
359 - Improved: You can no longer accidentally trigger VimFx between pressing `/`
360 and the find bar input being is focused.
361 - Improved: The `n` and `N` commands are now more robust.
362 - Improved: “Fullscreen” buttons and “Copy to clipboard” buttons can now be
363 activated the `f` command. Thanks to Alan Wu (@XrXr)!
364 - Changed: After having pressed `m` or `` ` `` VimFx no longer waits
365 indefinitely for you to press a mark key. Instead, the [timeout] option is
366 honored.
367 - Changed: After having pressed `m` or `` ` `` you can now press `<escape>` to
368 abort those commands.
369 - Changed: Find mode is no longer shown in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
370 dialog, to reduce clutter. (This can be changed through custom
371 [styling][styling-1].)
372 - Changed: The `?` command as well as the toolbar button now _toggle_ VimFx’s
373 Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (instead of always showing it, even if it was
374 already shown.)
375 - Changed: Counts are now ignored in Ignore mode. Previously, pressing number
376 keys would both send those key presses to the page _and_ contribute to the
377 count for commands (showing up in the bottom-right corner). This is no longer
378 the case.
379 - Updated locales: fr, zh-CN and zh-TW. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r),
380 @av2000ii and Robert Wang (@cyberrob)!

385
386 ### 0.16.1 (2016-05-29)
387
388 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer crashes (regression since 0.16.0).
389
390 ### 0.16.0 (2016-05-29)
391
392 - Fixed: The text input focus detection problems introduced in 0.15.1, which
393 sometimes caused VimFx commands to be triggered while typing in text inputs,
394 have been fixed.
395 - Improved: If you press `n` or `N` when there are are no matches for your
396 search, the find bar is no longer opened. Only a notification is shown. The
397 reliability of those notifications has also been improved.
398 - Improved: Hints mode now finds more links.
399 - Improved: Pressing `<c-enter>` in Hints mode now includes more elements.
400 - Updated locales: es, zh-CN. Thanks to @strel and @av2000ii!
401
402 ### 0.15.1 (2016-05-22)
403
404 - Improved: Better hints on Twitter.
405 - Improved: Compatibility with the [Evernote Web Clipper] add-on (and
406 potentially other add-ons with similar UI).
407 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!
408
409 [Evernote Web Clipper]: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/evernote-web-clipper/
410
411 ### 0.15.0 (2016-05-18)
412
413 - Improved: Hint markers now appear up to twice as fast on many pages. This is
414 done by creating the hint markers in two phases. Most are created in the
415 first, fast, phase. The rest take the same time as older VimFx versions to
416 show up.
417 - Fixed: VimFx no longer triggers commands while typing in fancy text inputs on
418 some sites, such as when composing a new tweet on Twitter. (See also the
419 [`blur_timeout`] pref.)
420 - Changed: The `<c-enter>` Hints mode command no longer _replaces_ all hint
421 markers on screen (with new ones for all elements on screen). Instead, it
422 _toggles_ your current hint markers with ones for all _other_ elements on
423 screen.
424 - Changed: There was a breaking change to the [`vimfx.setHintMatcher`] function
425 of the `frame.js` config file API. It no longer receives and returns an object
426 (of the shape `{type, semantic}`), but instead simply receives and returns the
427 `type` of the element.
428 - Improved: Some internal robustness refactoring.
429 - Updated locales: de, id, nl and zh-CN. Thanks to @just-barcodes, Yoppy
430 Halilintar (@comepradz), @HJTP, @av2000ii and @mozillazg.

435 ### 0.14.3 (2016-05-08)
436
437 - Fixed: Version 0.14.2 attempted to fix smooth scrolling speed in newer Firefox
438 versions. However, there was a tiny typo that caused the fix not to work. That
439 typo has been corrected.
440
441 ### 0.14.2 (2016-05-08)
442
443 - Fixed: Smooth scrolling speed is now correct again in newer Firefox versions.
444 - Fixed: The `yv` Caret mode command now only copies text that you can see on
445 screen (not any hidden text that might be on the page), making it truly work
446 like `zv` followed by `y`, as intended. This problem was very noticeable on
447 Slack. This also improves copying of 'contenteditable' elements using `yf`.
448 - Fixed: `<escape>` and arrow key handling as well as hint markers in the
449 devtools now work correctly again in newer Firefox versions.
450 - Fixed: VimFx no longer makes it impossible to open the Developer Toolbar.
451 - Improved: VimFx now ignores `<numlock>` and `<capslock>`. If your keyboard
452 sends `<numlock>` before some symbols, such as `<numlock>$` instead of just
453 `$`, shortcuts like `gx$` now work out of the box. This also means that you
454 can use `<capslock>` instead of `<shift>` when typing the `J` in `gJ`, for
455 example.
456 - Improved: Some minor cosmetic tweaks in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
457 dialog.
458
459 ### 0.14.1 (2016-04-30)
460
461 - Fixed: The Find commands (such as `/`, `n` and `N`) no longer crash on some
462 sites (regression since 0.14.0).
463
464 ### 0.14.0 (2016-04-29)
465
466 - Added: [Caret mode], which lets you copy text from web pages using the
467 keyboard.
468 - Improved: The Find commands (such as `/`, `n` and `N`) now search from the top
469 of the viewport, instead of from the top of the document, which is more
470 Vim-like and less disorienting. To read more about it (or to return to the
471 Firefox default behavior) please see the [`find_from_top_of_viewport`] pref.
472 - Improved: Compatibility with the [BackTrack Tab History] add-on.
473 - Added: The `<c-enter>` Hints mode command, which creates hint markers for
474 _all_ elements.
475 - Fixed: `__dirname` inside config files now works on Windows. Thanks to
476 Zhong Jianxin (@azuwis)!
477 - Fixed: Unnecessary full-page hint markers on some sites, such as Hackernews,
478 no longer appear.

483
484 ### 0.13.2 (2016-04-08)
485
486 - Improved: The “last position mark” `` ` `` now works more reliably.
487 - Improved: More video players are now recognized. Many video players lets you
488 press `<space>` while focused to toggle play/pause. VimFx tries to detect if
489 the currently focused element is a video player. If so, `<space>` is passed to
490 the video player instead of scrolling the page. (For those interested, see
491 also the [`adjustable_element_keys`] pref.)
492
493 [`adjustable_element_keys`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/645e35d7d82019b0551534c43926bc126e7105bd/documentation/options.md#adjustable_element_keys
494
495 ### 0.13.1 (2016-04-01)
496
497 - Fixed: Blacklisting of some XUL pages.
498 - Fixed: The current mode is no longer lost when a page loads. For example, if
499 you press `zF` while a page is loading, the markers no longer disappear.
500 - Fixed: Elements that you have focused using an `f` command no longer get stuck
501 appearing as if you’d put the mouse pointer.
502 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @mozillazg!
503
504 ### 0.13.0 (2016-03-19)
505
506 - Added: The `T` command, which opens a new tab after the current.
507 - Changed: The `gl` command now deals with _visited_ tabs only.
508 - Added: The [`gL`] command, which deals with <em>un</em>visited tabs only, in
509 oldest-first order. Use this to step through your unvisited background tabs in
510 the order you opened them (for example using the `F` command).
511 - Improved: The `gi` command no longer tries to focus the last focused text
512 input if it has been removed from the page. If so, it finds a new one instead.
513 - Fixed: You can now type in sidebar text inputs (such as in the history
514 sidebar) without having to switch to Ignore mode.
515 - Changed: If you enter Ignore mode you will now stay in Ignore mode in that tab
516 until you explicitly exit it (by pressing `<s-escape>`), even if you reload
517 the page or follow a link. If Ignore mode was entered automatically because of
518 the [blacklist][blacklist-2], though, you will be automatically returned to
519 Normal mode if
520 the URL changes to a non-blacklisted page.
521 - Added: VimFx can now automatically enter and exit Ignore mode based on the
522 currently focused element. Currently, the [wasavi] extension as well as
523 [CodeMirror] in Vim mode are detected. Both of those provide Vim-style
524 editors. This allows sending `<escape>` to those editors in order to exit
525 their Insert mode, without blurring the editor.
526 - Improved: CodeMirror editors now get better hints, keeping the cursor where
527 you left it.
528 - Improved: The [blacklist][blacklist-2] is now applied faster on some pages.
529 - Improved: Many audio and video elements are now recognized as “adjustable”,
530 allowing you to press for example `<space>` on them to toggle play/pause,
531 without scrolling the page.
532 - Improved: Scrolling by pages, such as using the `<space>` command, now takes
533 fixed heaears and footers into account, just like Firefox does.
534 - Fixed: Access keys now work correctly in context menus in the devtools and
535 `about:config`.
536 - Improved: The arrow keys now Just Work in the devtools, even if you have bound
537 them to VimFx commands.
538 - Changed: The public API has been removed, and turned into the Config file API.
539 If you were already using a config file, it will no longer work. You need to
540 set up a new one, but you should be able to simply copy and paste the contents
541 of the old one into the new one. Read the [config file] documentation for more
542 information.
543 - Changed: There are a few minor breaking changes to the API, though I doubt it
544 will affect anyone.
545 - If you use [`vimfx.on`], you probably need to adjust the arguments of the
546 your callbacks. They are now _always_ passed an object of data, instead of
547 sometimes passing the data directly.
548 - `match.focus` of [match object]s has been removed, and replaced by
549 `vim.focusType` of [vim object]s.
550 - Fixed: The toolbar button’s icon is now correctly sized when setting
551 `layout.css.devPixelsPerPx` to `2`. Thanks to Robert Ma (@Hexcles) and Dale
552 Whinham (@dwhinham)!
553 - Fixed: Find commands now work when the find bar was opened before the page had
554 finished loading.
555 - Improved: Lots of internal improvements. This should make VimFx faster, more
556 reliable and more responsive.
557 - All keyboard event handling (except `<late>` shortcuts) are now handled in
558 the UI process, instead of mostly in each tab’s web page content process.
559 This should make VimFx’s shortcuts more reliable and responsive.
560 - Removed all synchronous message passing (execpt for `<late>` keypresses).
561 Mozilla recommends using them only where absolutely necessary. Turns out
562 VimFx doesn’t need them anymore!
563 - The `f` commands are now more reliable. Before, they could crash on rare
564 occasions (on certain web pages), but that is less likely now.
565 - Less `MutationObserver`s are now used. This should improve performance.
566 - Less uncaught errors (especially on shutdown).
567 - Lots of minor improvements.
568 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!

578
579 ### 0.12.0 (2016-02-03)
580
581 - Improved: More clickable elements are now recognized. Most notably, elements
582 with click event listeners added by JavaScript now get hints.
583 - Improved: Autofocus prevention after using the `[` and `]` commands.
584 - Added: In VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (which can be opened by
585 pressing `?`) you can now click on any command to open VimFx’s settings page
586 in the Add-ons Manager and automatically select the text input for that
587 command, letting you edit its shortcuts. Tip: Use the `zF` command to click
588 without using the mouse.
589 - Changed: Autofocus is no longer prevented in Firefox internal pages, such as
590 `about:preferences`, `about:addons` and `about:config` (as well as other XUL
591 pages).
592 - Fixed: VimFx and the Beyond Australis extension do not conflict with each
593 other anymore.
594 - Fixed: The `gH` command no longer nags you about “No back/forward history”
595 even though there is.
596 - Added: The `gl` command now takes a [count][gl-count].
597 - Improved: Optimized CPU usage in Hints mode. (See also the [`hints_sleep`]
598 pref.)
599 - Improved: The `H` and `L` commands should now be more reliable in Firefox 43
600 and later.
601 - Changed: There was a tiny breaking change to the Public API, though I doubt it
602 will affect anyone. (See [commit 0ca807605e] if you’re especially interested.)
603 - Improved: _Several_ minor things, and some really nice internal refactoring.
604 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
605
606 [`hints_sleep`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/92b483c4a4f6da0b2c998267e0f01d3d999f93b6/documentation/options.md#hints_sleep

609
610 ### 0.11.0 (2016-01-15)
611
612 - Fixed: The `` ` `` command is no longer broken.
613 - Fixed: Memory leak.
614 - Added: The `gl` command, which takes you to the most recent tab.
615 - Improved: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now scrollable using VimFx’s
616 scrolling commands. To allow for this, the search field is no longer
617 autofocused. Instead, press `/` to open it.
618 - Improved: Using the `f` commands, such as `f` and `zf`, now works like
619 actually moving your mouse onto the link, making hover menus and such-like
620 appear.
621 - Improved: VimFx should now work better with Google Drive Documents, Etherpad
622 and a few other fancy text editors.
623 - Improved: The `]` command now works on google.com.
624 - Improved: Checkboxes and menu items on gmail.com are now given hints by the
625 `f` command.
626 - Improved: The `gi` command now also recognizes 'contenteditable' elements.
627 - Improved: Hint markers now move along together with their elements.
628 - Fixed: Hint markers should now be correctly positioned when zooming.
629 - Fixed: The toolbar button icon should now look correctly on Retina screens.
630 - Added: You may now disable counts by using toggling the [`counts_enabled`]
631 pref.
632 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
633 - Improved: Several minor things.
634
635 [`counts_enabled`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8dae7aec9008595da31b939d5ae2d239849cf6dc/documentation/options.md#counts_enabled
636
637 ### 0.10.0 (2015-12-09)
638
639 - Added: The `zF` command, which lets you click browser elements.
640 - Improved: The scrolling commands can now scroll browser elements (in other
641 words, not only web page content), by first selecting the scollable element
642 using `zF`.
643 - Added: The `gr` command, which toggles [Reader View].
644 - Added: The `gX` command, which opens the Recently Closed Tabs menu at the
645 middle of the screen.
646 - Added: The keys you’ve typed so far of a command, as well the count, are now
647 shown in a [notification]. (You may disable this using the
648 [`notify_entered_keys`] pref.)
649 - Improved: When commands don’t do anything, they show a [notification] instead,
650 letting you know that you actually pressed the right keys. For example, if you
651 press `f` but there are no markable elements visible, a notification is shown
652 telling you so, instead of silently doing nothing.
653 - Improved: `<space>` now scrolls _about a line less_ than a full page, just
654 like Firefox does by default. `d` scroll about _half_ a line less (by
655 default), so that pressing `d` twice works like pressing `<space>` once. (See
656 the [`scroll.full_page_adjustment` and `scroll.half_page_adjustment`] prefs
657 for more information.)
658 - Improved: `gi` now only selects all text in its text input if you haven’t
659 focused a text input yet (allowing you to easily replace pre-filled text),
660 instead of _always_ doing so. Otherwise, it now puts the cursor where you left
661 off typing the last time.
662 - Fixed: The `f` commands now put the cursor where you left off typing the last
663 time when focusing a text input. Previously, they accidentally selected all
664 text in the text input (use `zf` for that behavior).
665 - Fixed: Yet a scrolling fix. VimFx’s scrolling commands should now “just work”
666 on even more sites.
667 - Fixed: AltGr should now work out of the box on Windows. (See the
668 [`ignore_ctrl_alt`] pref for more information.)
669 - Removed: The el-GR, hu and pl locales were sadly too out of date to be useful,
670 and nobody has shown interest in updating them, so they were removed.
671 - Updated locales: id, de and zh-CN. Thanks to Yoppy Halilintar, @just-barcodes
672 and @mozillazg!
673 - Fixed: Several tiny bugs.

680
681 ### 0.9.0 (2015-12-02)
682
683 - Fixed: Links with the `onclick` attribute can now be opened in new tabs again.
684 (Regression since 0.8.0.)
685 - Fixed: The text size in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now
686 correctly resized.
687 - Added: The `gH` command. It opens the back/forward button context menu in the
688 middle of the window, allowing you to choose a history entry with the arrow
689 keys and `<enter>`.
690
691 ### 0.8.0 (2015-12-01)
692
693 - Fixed: VimFx now works properly in tabs moved to other windows.
694 - Fixed: An unreliable check for multi-process mode has been eliminated, fixing
695 various problems for some users.
696 - Fixed: VimFx’s toolbar button now changes color correctly when switching
697 between blacklisted and non-blacklisted tabs.
698 - Fixed: Dead keys now work out of the box on Windows.
699 - Improved: Links with the `onclick` attribute (abused as buttons) can no longer
700 get the same hint as another link.
701 - Added: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (shown by pressing `?`) is now
702 searchable.
703 - Added: The `g/` command. It’s like `/` but searches links only.
704
705 - Added: [Marks].
706
707 - Use `ma` to mark the current scroll position and `` `a `` to return to it.
708 (You may substitute `a` with any key press.)
709 - Use ``` `` ``` to return to the position before the last `gg`, `G`, `0`,
710 `$`, `/`, `n`, `N` or `` ` ``. (You can change this mark using the
711 [`last_scroll_position_mark`] pref.)
712
713 - Added: Window commands.
714
715 - `w`: Open new window.
716 - `W`: Open new private window.
717 - `gw`: Move tab to new window.
718 - `gF`: Follow link in new window.
719

722
723 ### 0.7.3 (2015-11-22)
724
725 - Fixed: Scrolling now works correctly in pages in quirks mode (lacking a
726 doctype), such as Hackernews.
727 - Improved: The largest scrollable element is now detected better in frames.
728 - Fixed: Hints mode now exits correctly when focusing a text input using `af`,
729 or `f` with a count.
730
731 ### 0.7.2 (2015-11-21)
732
733 - Fixed: The blinking text caret now always appears correctly when focusing text
734 inputs.
735
736 ### 0.7.1 (2015-11-21)
737
738 - Fixed: The scrolling commands should now “just work” when using non-default
739 zoom or DPI settings, most notably on Google Groups.
740
741 ### 0.7.0 (2015-11-19)
742
743 - Changed: Instead of using system notifications, which turned out to be a bit
744 too intrusive, [notifications] are now similar to the “URL popup” (shown when
745 hovering or focusing links) but are placed on the opposite side,.
746 - Changed: The “Focus next element” and “Focus previous element” commands have
747 been removed. The reason they existed was to let `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` only
748 cycle between text inputs (as opposed to _all_ focusable elements) after
749 you’ve pressed `gi`. Now, `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` are handled specially instead,
750 and _only_ after pressing `gi`. The reason for this change is that the now
751 removed commands were too intrusive, breaking user habits. One of VimFx’s main
752 goal is _not_ to do that. (You can turn the special handling of `<tab>` and
753 `<s-tab>` off using the the new [`focus_previous_key` and `focus_next_key`]
754 prefs.)
755 - Fixed: The scrolling commands should now “just work” in a lot more situations,
756 most notably on Gmail and Google Groups. More scrollable elements are also
757 recognized by the `f` and `zf` commands.
758 - Improved: The right border of hint markers for scrollable elements is now
759 styled to remind of a scroll bar, making them easier to recognize among hints
760 for links.
761 - Improved/Changed: `J` and `gJ` now allow a count on the first tab.
762 Consequently, `K` and `gK` now allow a count on the _last_ tab.
763 - Changed: `gJ` and `gK` can no longer be used to pin or unpin tabs. They now
764 only wrap around tabs of the same pinned state. Use `gp` to toggle between
765 pinned and non-pinned.
766 - Fixed: Many elements that got a hint before VimFx 0.6.0 now do again.
767 - Improved: Comment fields on Facebook can now be focused using `f` and blurred
768 using `<escape>`.
769 - Improved: VimFx’s toolbar button is no greyed out when you focus a text input.
770 This is to show that your key presses will be passed into the text input
771 rather than activating VimFx commands.
772 - Added: [`g0`, `g^` and `g$` now accept counts][tab-index-counts], allowing you
773 to go to tab number _count._
774 - Improved: `gi` now finds text inputs inside frames.
775 - Fixed: “gi mode” is now exited properly when blurring a text input.
776 - Fixed: `<select>` elements are no longer considered to be text inputs when
777 using `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` in “gi mode.”
778 - Fixed: Using `<force>` or `<late>` in a shortcut no longer applies to _every_
779 shortcut for the command, but only that shortcut.
780 - Fixed: The order of the Previous/Next page patterns is now respected. This
781 caused the wrong link to be picked by the `[` and `]` commands on some pages.

789 - Improved: If the entire page isn’t scrollable, the largest scrollable element
790 is scrolled instead.
791 - Fixed: VimFx’s keyboard shortcuts now works on slowly loading pages.
792 - Fixed: Numbers may now be used as shortcut keys (overriding counts).
793 - Fixed: The toolbar button’s icon is now correctly sized in high DPI.
794 - Fixed: Hint markers are now correctly positioned when zooming using the “Zoom
795 text only” option.
796 - Fixed: The `P` command now works with the InstantFox add-on.
797
798 ### 0.6.1 (2015-11-10)
799
800 - Fixed: If you customized the “esc” command before VimFx 0.6.0 it should now
801 work as expected.
802 - Fixed: `<tab>` now works as expected in the location bar and in the dev tools.
803 - Fixed: Light-weight themes can no longer make VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
804 dialog and hint markers unreadable.
805 - Added: The [notifications\_enabled] option.

808
809 ### 0.6.0 (2015-11-09)
810
811 ##### Most important (breaking) changes
812
813 - VimFx now works properly with **any keyboard layout.** Users of **multiple
814 layouts** should enable the **[ignore keyboard layout] option.** #249 #259
815
816 - Features related to disabling VimFx, and to the [toolbar button]:
817
818 - **Insert Mode** has been renamed to **_Ignore_ mode.**
819 - **[Blacklisted][blacklist] sites** now **enter Ignore mode automatically,**
820 instead of being specially handled.
821 - The feature to click the toolbar button (or press `<a-V>`) to **disable
822 VimFx** has been **removed.** Use **Ignore mode** (`i`) and the
823 **[blacklist] instead.**
824 - The **toolbar button** is now **red in Ignore mode** (which also means that
825 it is red on blacklisted sites) and green otherwise (never grey anymore).
826 - The toolbar button no longer offers to (un-)blacklist the current domain.
827 (Head into VimFx’s settings page in the Add-ons Manager and add
828 `*currentdomain.com*` to the [blacklist] option yourself instead.)
829
830 (See [commit 3552282] for more information.)
831
832 - **Some default shortcuts have changed,** mostly because they conflicted with
833 standard Firefox shortcuts: #308
834
835 - `<c-J>` → `gJ`
836
837 - `<c-K>` → `gK`
838
839 - `g^` and `gH` → `g0`
840
841 `g^` now selects the first _non pinned_ tab instead, while `g0`
842 selects the first tab regardless of whether it is pinned or not. #317
843
844 - `<c-e>` (alias for `j`) and `<c-y>` (alias for `k`) have been removed.
845
846 - `<c-f>` → `<space>` and `<c-b>` → `<s-space>`
847
848 - `vf` → `zf`
849
850 This frees up `v` for future shortcuts (instead making `z` a
851 “namespace” key, just like in Vim).
852
853 - To **exit Ignore mode:** `<escape>` → `<s-escape>`. This is because Ignore
854 mode has replaced the disable feature, as well as the special blacklist
855 state (see above). Sites are likely to use `<escape>` but not `<s-escape>`.
856 (In a way, this new role of Ignore mode also means that the old (many times
857 broken) shortcut to disable VimFx (`<a-V>`) has been replaced by `i`.) #64
858 \#375 #432
859
860 - VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now help only, and more accessible.
861 To **customize keyboard shortcuts,** go to VimFx’s settings page **in the
862 Add-ons Manager,** just like you would to customize other settings. Also,
863 **commas** between every key are **no longer needed:** Type `gJ` instead of
864 `g,J`.
865
866 - For performance reasons, **Hint markers** are now placed vertically **centered
867 instead of at the top** of the element. Don’t be surprised if you see the same
868 hint repeated several times**—links that go to the same place now get the same
869 hint.** The “Smart hints” option has been removed—hints are _always_ smart
870 now, and a lot smarter than before. Finally, hints now also work in the new
871 tab page, the Add-ons Manager and the preferences page. If you want to, you
872 can read more about [the `f` commands]. \#51 #60 #176 #320 #325 #468 #471 #475
873
874 - The **`F`** command now _always_ opens tabs in new **background** tabs, while
875 **`gf`** has been added to open tabs in new **foreground** tabs. #227 #464
876
877 - **Autofocus prevention** is now **off by default.** One of VimFx’s core
878 philosophies is to be nice to your browser habits. Some find autofocus
879 prevention too big a change. Turn it on again if you like it! By the way,
880 autofocus prevention now works much more reliably and should not cause issues
881 with other extensions. #497 #541
882
883 - The **“Scroll step”** option has been **removed**. The scrolling commands that
884 used it now **work like the arrow keys instead,** and are customized just like
885 them. See [scrolling prefs] for more information.
886
887 - Speaking of scrolling, **which elements scrolls** when you use VimFx’s
888 scrolling commands **has changed.** See [scrolling commands] for more
889 information.
890
891 ##### New features
892
893 - New commands:
894
895 - `gp` pins or unpins the current tab. (Also see `g^` and `g0` mentioned
896 above.) #121
897 - `yt` duplicates the current tab. #121
898 - `0` and `^` scroll to the far left, and `$` scrolls to the far right.
899 - [`gi`] has finally been implemented. #47
900 - [Ignore mode `<s-f1>`] let you run a Normal mode command without exiting
901 Ignore mode.
902
903 - In Hints mode you can now hold ctrl and alt to change behavior of the matched
904 marker. Hold shift to temporarily make the hints see-through. See [the `f`
905 commands] for more information. #220 #421 #484
906
907 - Some commands now accept [counts]. #374
908
909 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that work inside text inputs. See the
910 [`<force>`] key for more information. #258
911
912 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that the page can override. See the
913 [`<late>`] key for more information.
914
915 - A number of [advanced options] have been added. Rather than listing everything
916 regarding them here, follow that link if you’re interested. #452 #489
917
918 - You may now, if you want to, configure VimFx through a [config file], using
919 the new [public API]. Customizing VimFx through a config file also gives extra
920 abilities, such as [site-specific options][option-overrides] and [disabling
921 certain commands on certain sites][key-overrides]. It also allows to add
922 [custom commands] \(and other extensions to extend VimFx). #158 #235 #255 #261
923 \#300 #408 #445 #490 #515
924
925 - It is now easier to customize VimFx through custom [styling]. An example is
926 changing the way hint markers look. #220 #233 #424 #432 #465
927
928 - VimFx now has [documentation] and a [wiki].
929
930 - A few new locales were added:
931
932 - fr. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r)!
933 - pt-BR. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)!
934 - sv-SE. Thanks to Andreas Lindhé (@lindhe)!
935
936 ##### Improvements
937
938 - VimFx is now multi-process/Electrolysis/e10s compatible! This means that you
939 can run VimFx on a version of Firefox with multi-process enabled without
940 issues, and that we’re future proof for the day when Firefox becomes
941 multi-process by default. Best of all, it also made VimFx more reliable in
942 non-multi-process (“regular”) Firefox. #378
943
944 - The `[` and `]` commands are now smarter, recognizing more links to the
945 previous/next page correctly. You may read more about [previous/next page
946 patterns]. #396
947
948 - The `n` and `N` commands now notify you when they wrap around the page, or the
949 phrase you searched for could not be found. #398
950
951 - _All_ shortcuts in _all modes_ can now be customized. For example, this allows
952 you to disable VimFx’s Vim-style `<enter>` behavior in the find bar. #222 #390
953 \#421
954
955 - The `p` and `P` commands are now smarter regarding whether to treat the
956 clipboard contents as a URL or a search, by working exactly like pasting in
957 the location bar. They also now read the selection clipboard, if available.
958 \#353 #382
959
960 - VimFx’s toolbar button is now properly implemented. #303 #349 #383
961
962 - Most locales were updated. Thanks to our awesome [translators]!
963
964 ##### Minor bug fixes
965
966 - VimFx now works correctly in tabs dragged to other windows. #57
967 - The `p` command is no longer broken. #494
968 - Non-ASCII shortcut keys now work properly. #433
969 - The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog can no longer be covered by page elements.
970 \#477
971 - Hint markers can no longer be covered by page elements.
972 - VimFx no longer causes scripts on icloud.com to get stuck in an infinite loop.

998
999 ### 0.5.17 (2015-01-23)
1000
1001 - Fixed: The hints generation no longer crashes on some pages (regression since
1002 version 0.5.15).
1003
1004 ### 0.5.16 (2015-01-22)
1005
1006 - Fixed: The toolbar button no longer throws errors. (This fix should have been
1007 in 0.5.15 but was forgotten. Luckily an AMO reviewer found it.)
1008
1009 ### 0.5.15 (2015-01-21)
1010
1011 - Improved: This version is now forwards-compatible with the upcoming version
1012 0.6.0. Downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.14 or older might cause VimFx to crash,
1013 but downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.15 is safe.
1014 - Fixed: Non-hintchars key presses in hints mode are now suppressed. They used
1015 to be passed along to the browser, which could confusingly activate site
1016 commands.
1017 - Fixed: The 'f' command now always opens links in the same tab. Links used to
1018 be able to force a new tab or window.
1019 - Fixed: Pressing 'Esc' in the location bar now restores the URL, as is the
1020 default behaviour of Firefox. You may now also close Firefox dialogs using
1021 'Esc'.
1022 - Improved: Updated the de locale. Thanks to Alexander Haeussler!
1023 - Improved: Updated the pl locale. Thanks to morethanoneanimal!
1024
1025 ### 0.5.14 (2014-08-16)
1026
1027 - Fixed: Locales should now work properly.
1028 - Improved: Updated the zh-CN locale (@mozillazg).
1029 - Improved: Updated the de locale (@Kambfhase).
1030 - Added: Japanese locale (@pluser).
1031 - Fixed: If you switched to another tab or window while an `<input>` element
1032 was focused and then switched back, the `<input>` element got blurred, while
1033 it should have stayed focused. This caused the auto-type feature of KeePassX
1034 to break.
1035
1036 ### 0.5.13 (2014-08-02)
1037
1038 - Fixed: The vote button on StackExchange sites are now markable again.
1039 - Improved: Detection of previous/next links. Should work better on gmail now.
1040 - Fixed: It is now possible to use Enter/Return in keyboard shortcuts.
1041 - Improved: The n/N commands (etc.) now work even if you didn’t open the finbar
1042 using the VimFx command (such as the default key binding ctrl+f, or by
1043 clicking a menu item).
1044 - Improved: It is now possible to blur text inputs without sending Esc to the
1045 page, which could cause dialogs etc. to annoyingly close.
1046 - Improved: Updated the el-GR locale (@sirodoht).
1047 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention sometimes made text inputs impossible to focus
1048 until you reloaded the page.
1049 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now works on more sites than before.
1050 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now prevents _all_ automatic focusing (not
1051 just when the page loads). This makes devdocs.io much easier to use.
1052 - Added: When viewing images directly and the image has been resized to fit the
1053 screen the image is now markable, allowing you to toggle zoom on it using the
1054 keyboard.
1055 - Fixed: It is no longer possible to add conflicting shortcuts (such as adding
1056 'a' when 'af' and 'as' are already present).
1057
1058 ### 0.5.12 (2014-06-01)
1059
1060 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention got stuck sometimes, making it impossible to
1061 focus inputs.
1062
1063 ### 0.5.11 (2014-06-01)
1064
1065 - Fixed: The focus search bar command was broken.
1066 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention was broken.
1067 - Fixed: The top bar on YouTube could not be accessed by VimFx.
1068 - Fixed: You can no longer add blank hotkeys.
1069 - Improved: Tab Groups are supported.
1070 - Improved: Matching of previous/next links should be more reliable.
1071 - Improved: A few minor things.
1072
1073 ### 0.5.10 (2014-05-07)
1074
1075 - Fixed yet another bug related to the default preferences
1076
1077 ### 0.5.9 (2014-05-04)
1078
1079 - Fixed a bug with default preferences not being set
1080 - Fixed gg and G to be faster
1081
1082 ### 0.5.8 (2014-04-18)
1083
1084 - AMO Preliminary Review bug fix (sorry for such long delay)
1085
1086 ### 0.5.7 (2014-03-03)
1087
1088 - Bug fix
1089
1090 ### 0.5.6 (2014-02-26)
1091
1092 - Updated some translations
1093 - Updated pagination patterns and logic
1094
1095 ### 0.5.5 (2014-01-03)
1096
1097 - Hotfix release to address a bug that has been introduced in 0.5.4
1098
1099 ### 0.5.4 (2014-01-03)

1128 - Invisible elements will not get hint markers
1129 - Compatibility with Firefox 25
1130 - Simple shortcut customization with UI in Help dialog
1131 - Use Huffman coding algorithm for hint markers generation which results in
