VimFx v0.20.15
[VimFx.git] / CHANGELOG.md
1 ### 0.20.15 (2018-08-06)
2
3 - Fixed: Find mode now works properly again. Thanks to @matsuhav!
4
5 ### 0.20.14 (2018-05-15)
6
7 - Fixed: VimFx should now work properly in Firefox 61 (if you have enabled
8 legacy extensions) as well as older versions of Firefox. The latest few
9 versions have been a bit buggy, but things should work better now. Thanks to
10 Kevin Cox (@kevincox) and 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
11
12 ### 0.20.13 (2018-05-06)
13
14 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 61 (if you have enabled legacy
15 extensions). Thanks to Kevin Cox (@kevincox), 依云 (@lilydjwg) and Jan
16 Kokemüller (@jiixyj)!
17
18 ### 0.20.12 (2018-01-23)
19
20 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 59 (if you have enabled legacy
21 extensions). Thanks to Kevin Cox (@kevincox) and 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
22 - Updated locale: es. Thanks to @strel!
23
24 ### 0.20.11 (2017-11-19)
25
26 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 58 (if you have enabled legacy
27 extensions). Thanks to 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
28
29 ### 0.20.10 (2017-03-25)
30
31 - Improved: Autofocus is now prevented when going back in history on pages that
32 use `history.pushState()` (in other words, on the 'popstate' event).
33 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!
34
35 ### 0.20.9 (2017-02-21)
36
37 - Fixed: The `yy` command now works as expected in Reader Mode.
38
39 ### 0.20.8 (2017-01-14)
40
41 - Improved: The scrolling commands now scroll the closest scrollable parent of
42 the currently focused element (if it is not scrollable itself). This is
43 noticeable for Twitter’s modals, which are often scrollable. No longer any
44 need to use the `f` or `ef` commands to scroll those modals!
45
46 ### 0.20.7 (2017-01-07)
47
48 - Improved: The `[` and `]` commands now work in Google search results.
49 - Improved: You can now show the “emoji picker” of the “like” button on Facebook
50 by using the `ef` command.
51 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @interleaved!
52
53 ### 0.20.6 (2016-12-16)
54
55 - Fixed: The `'`, `g[` and `g]` commands no longer crash. (Regression since
56 0.20.5.)
57 - Fixed: The `ef` command can now focus elements in deeply nested frames again.
58 (Regression since 0.19.0.)
59 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` and `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` are now properly
60 undone when reloading a config file (`gC`).
61 - Improved: Hint markers for elements with multiline text no longer cover the
62 text.
63 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @interleaved!
64
65 ### 0.20.5 (2016-12-04)
66
67 - Fixed: Scrolling by holding `d`, `u`, `<space>` or `<s-space>` no longer goes
68 slower and slower (and finally grinding to a halt) on long pages with lots of
69 elements. (See also the [`scroll.repeat_timeout`] pref.)
70 - Improved: All config API functions now validate all their parameters properly.
71 This provides a better user experience, and, most importantly, prevents VimFx
72 from crashing on certain invalid input.
73
74 [`scroll.repeat_timeout`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/58deb3f7b7c470a4d705f1dabf7aa13e095e8d09/documentation/options.md#smooth-scrolling
75
76 ### 0.20.4 (2016-11-16)
77
78 - Fixed: The `n` and `N` commands now work in Firefox’s PDF viewer.
79 - Fixed: The `eb` command can now click the tab bar scroll buttons.
80 - Fixed: Elements marked by the `eb` command now correctly get hints based on
81 their area again.
82 - Improved: The `eb` command now favors the browser tabs and their close
83 buttons, giving them better hints.
84 - Improved: The hints given to the browser tabs by the `eb` command are now
85 consistent no matter how many tabs you have open. This means that the first
86 tab always gets the same hint, the second tab always get the same hint, and so
87 on.
88 - Improved: Hint markers are now placed next to the text of the element if
89 appropriate. For example, the hint marker for a button with centered text is
90 now placed just to the left of the text rather than at the left edge of
91 button. This is nice because it means that hint markers usually end up where
92 you were just reading.
93 - Improved: The positioning of hint markers has been fine-tuned by a pixel or so
94 in some cases.
95 - Improved: Custom styled checkboxes and radio buttons now get hint markers
96 faster (they are now found in the first pass rather than the second).
97 - Improved: Compatibility with the [Tab Center] add-on.
98 - Improved: Blurring the location bar is now more consistent. Previously, its
99 text wasn’t reset if the autocomplete popup was open when you pressed
100 `<escape>` to blur it.
101 - Fixed: An edge case where the wrong hint markers could be highlighted.
102
103 [Tab Center]: https://testpilot.firefox.com/experiments/tab-center/
104
105 ### 0.20.3 (2016-10-22)
106
107 - Improved: Full page scrolling now recognizes the fixed footer on medium.com.
108 - Fixed: Scrollable element can now be focused with the `f` command again (not
109 just with the `ef` command). (Regression since 0.19.0.)
110 - Fixed: `<escape>` is no longer accidentally leaked to the page when used to
111 blur text inputs. This allows blurring text inputs in modals without closing
112 the modal (which `<escape>` commonly does otherwise).
113
114 ### 0.20.2 (2016-10-16)
115
116 - Fixed: Text inputs and links inside frames can now be focused using hint
117 commands again. (Regression since 0.19.0.)
118 - Improved: Previously focused text inputs inside frames no longer steal the
119 focus when entering Caret mode in that frame.
120 - Improved: When several hint markers have the same hint (because their links
121 go to the same place), the _largest_ of those links is now chosen when
122 activating that hint. This might be noticeable via focus styling.
123 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @av2000ii!
124
125 ### 0.20.1 (2016-10-09)
126
127 - Improved: Caret mode is now a bit more robust. It can no longer make you end
128 up with [Firefox’s own Caret mode] accidentally enabled.
129 - Improved: If you try use for example `<ctrl>-j` as a keyboard shortcut, VimFx
130 will now tell you that you probably want `<c-j>` instead.
131 - Fixed: Using a keyboard shortcut to switch keyboard layout in GNOME while
132 inside a text input no longer causes the focus of that text input to be lost
133 when the Prevent autofocus option is enabled.
134 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @av2000ii!
135
136 [Firefox’s own Caret mode]: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Accessibility_features_of_Firefox#Allow_text_to_be_selected_with_the_keyboard
137
138 ### 0.20.0 (2016-10-02)
139
140 - Added: The `g[` and `g]` commands, which let you scroll to previous and next
141 scroll positions of the current page. This is similar to Vim’s jump list.
142 - Added: The `/` mark. Pressing `'/` takes you to the scroll position before the
143 last `/`, `a/` or `g/`.
144 - Fixed: Pressing `''` multiple times in a row now flips back and forth
145 between two scroll positions as expected.
146 - Fixed: Version 0.19.0 claimed to include the following improvement: “The hint
147 marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for a larger
148 element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).” However, a silly
149 mistake caused that improvement not to work. Now it does. For real.
150 - Fixed: All VimFx commands that copy text to the clipboard are now made sure to
151 also copy to the “selection clipboard” (if your system has such a thing). For
152 example, if you copy text using the `yv` command, the `p` command now uses
153 that copied text as expected.
154
155 ### 0.19.1 (2016-09-26)
156
157 - Fixed: The `'` command no longer crashes. (Regression since 0.19.0.)
158
159 ### 0.19.0 (2016-09-25)
160
161 #### Changes and improvements to Hints mode
162
163 **New feature:** Hint markers can now be filtered by element text, similar to
164 Vimium, Vimperator and Pentadactyl. This is useful for people who simply prefer
165 that workflow, and for clicking tiny pagination links (simply type its number!).
166
167 By default, filtering by element text is done by typing _uppercase_ characters
168 (hold down shift!). All characters other than the hint characters are now used
169 to filter hint markers by element text (rather than just being ignored). Do you
170 prefer filtering by element text, but dislike typing uppercase letters? Have a
171 look at how [hint characters] work to make things the other way around!
172
173 The markers with the best hint are now highlighted with a different color. You
174 may at any time press `<enter>` to activate those markers (or `<c-enter>` or
175 `<a-enter>` to change where and how to open links, just like you can hold ctrl
176 or alt for the last hint character).
177
178 Because of the above new features, the following default **Hints mode shortcuts
179 had to be changed:**
180
181 - `<space>` → `<c-space>` (`<s-space>` is left untouched)
182 - `<s->` → `<c-s->` (hold ctrl _and_ shift to peek through hint markers)
183 - `<enter>` → `<up>`
184 - `<c-enter>` → `<c-backspace>`
185
186 To make it easier to see the element text, hint markers are now nudged to the
187 left if they cover the text.
188
189 Other hint marker improvements:
190
191 - Hint markers are now 20% smaller by default. While trying to match text sizes
192 set by your operating system, they ended up a bit too large on most systems.
193 Check out the [Styling] documentation if you’d like to change the font size.
194 - Hint markers now have stronger contrast between the background color and the
195 text color, which should make them easier to read.
196 - The CSS for hint markers have been improved, making it easier to use custom
197 [Styling].
198 - When several elements have the same area, the best hint is now correctly given
199 to the _first_ of those elements. Previously, it happened to be the other way
200 around.
201 - The hint marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for
202 a larger element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).
203 - Hint markers are now better positioned when having zoomed the page in or out.
204 - Hints mode is now more robust in general. Several race conditions have been
205 fixed.

207 [hint characters]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8bafdf0454043c1630bac8b13d13f1fb4e5ee9e7/documentation/options.md#hint-characters

209
210 #### Other updates
211
212 - Added: The ability to **export, import and reset all** VimFx options. There
213 are three shiny new buttons for this in VimFx’s options page in the Add-ons
214 Manager!
215 - Added: The `gB` command, which lets you **quickly blacklist** (and
216 un-blacklist) sites.
217 - Added: The `ec` command, for opening the context menu of elements.
218 - Added: The `ep` command, for opening links in new private windows.
219 - Improved: `h`, `l`, `j` and `k` now feel more like scrolling with the arrow
220 keys when held down, by boosting the scrolling speed. See the
221 [`scroll.horizontal_boost` and `scroll.vertical_boost`][scroll-boost] options
222 for more information.
223 - Fixed: VimFx’s find bar integration is now much more robust. Most notably, if
224 you start typing directly after pressing `/` and Firefox is slow at opening
225 the find bar, your keypresses can no longer trigger VimFx commands or Firefox
226 built-in commands.
227 - Improved: VimFx no longer leaks keypresses to the web page in some modes. (For
228 example, counts in Caret mode).
229 - Improved: The `eb` command now finds more clickable elements in the devtools.
230 - Changed: `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` no longer lets you easily break for example
231 Hints mode, by now only being applied to Normal mode. You might need to change
232 your matchers from `(location, mode) => ...` to simply `location => ...`.
233 (Breaking API change.)
234 - Changed: The object passed to custom commands (and custom modes) no longer
235 contains a `uiEvent` property. Instead, there’s an `event` property. This
236 property can be used the same way if you check `vim.isUIEvent(event)` first.
237 (Breaking API change.)
238
239 [scroll-boost]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8bafdf0454043c1630bac8b13d13f1fb4e5ee9e7/documentation/options.md#scrollhorizontal_boost-and-scrollvertical_boost
240
241 ### 0.18.1 (2016-08-27)
242
243 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` no longer crashes on startup.
244 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` can now override the `prevent_autofocus`
245 pref again.
246
247 ### 0.18.0 (2016-08-20)
248
249 #### Changed default shortcuts
250
251 Some default keyboard shortcuts have been changed.
252
253 - Hint commands. Many of the old ones were difficult to remember, and there was
254 no space for adding new ones.
255
256 - `gf` → `et` (t as in tab)
257 - `gF` → `ew` (w as in window)
258 - `zf` → `ef` (f as in focus)
259 - `zF` → `eb` (b as in browser)
260 - `zv` → `av` (you actually select _all_ of the element’s text)
261
262 (`f`, `yf`, `af`, `v` and `yv` stay unchanged.)
263
264 There is a longer [explanation of these new defaults][hint-shortcuts] in the
265 documentation.
266
267 - `zr` → `gC`. `zr` was the only shortcut starting with `z`. This frees that key
268 up for other uses.
269
270 - `` ` `` → `'`. The `` ` `` shortcut (“scroll to mark”) as well as the `` ` ``
271 mark (“last position mark”) have both been changed to `'`. Both `` ` `` and
272 `'` are used in Vim. `'` is a better default, because it is easier to
273 type–both on an en-US QWERTY keyboard and, more importantly, on some
274 international layouts, such as the sv-SE QWERTY layout.
275
276 Note: If you miss Firefox’s default `'` shortcut to open the Quick Find bar
277 (which is now overridden), remember that VimFx provides `g/` which does the
278 same thing. (You can of course also change VimFx’s shortcuts.)
279
280 See also issue [#788].
281
282 [hint-shortcuts]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/e8d9df31dd5c8df999ac22e3b3b8d548a68c6fa7/documentation/commands.md#mnemonics-and-choice-of-default-hint-command-shortcuts
283 [#788]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/issues/788
284
285 #### Other updates
286
287 - Added: It is now possible to create [custom hint commands].
288 - Fixed: The bottom-right corner of the page scrollbars can now be used with the
289 mouse again.
290 - Fixed: The toolbar button now correctly toggles VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts
291 dialog again.
292 - Updated locales: fr, ru. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r) and Nicholas
293 Guriev (@mymedia2)!
294
295 [custom hint commands]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/e8d9df31dd5c8df999ac22e3b3b8d548a68c6fa7/documentation/api.md#custom-hint-commands
296
297 ### 0.17.4 (2016-07-11)
298
299 - Improved: The usage of modifier keys in Hints mode is now shown in VimFx’s
300 Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog. The functionality has been there for a long
301 time, but should now be easier to find. Thanks to our awesome translators,
302 the new help text is already available in most supported locales!
303 - Improved: If you submit a form while still being inside one of its text
304 inputs, that text input is now automatically blurred. This lets you use VimFx
305 commands while waiting for the form to submit without having to press
306 `<escape>` first.
307 - Improved: The `gu` command now works better on some pages, by preserving a
308 trailing slash. Thanks to @sinkuu!
309 - Improved: VimFx now recognizes text areas in the TYPO3 CMS.
310 - Improved: The `<escape>` command and the toolbar button now let you escape
311 back to Normal mode if VimFx ever gets stuck thinking that you are typing in a
312 text input.
313
314 ### 0.17.3 (2016-06-27)
315
316 - Improved: The `zF` command can now open even more dropdown menus of buttons.
317
318 ### 0.17.2 (2016-06-19)
319
320 - Improved: The `zF` command now works with more buttons and is able to open
321 dropdown menus of buttons.
322 - Fixed: The `f` commands now recognize more file upload buttons.
323 - Fixed: Rotating hint markers now works more as expected after having entered a
324 few hint chars.
325 - Fixed: Scrolling now works in SVG documents.
326 - Fixed: Opening links in new tabs in Firefox 50.
327 - Updated locales: pt-BR and ru. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)
328 and Nicholas Guriev (@mymedia2)!
329
330 ### 0.17.1 (2016-06-12)
331
332 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer accidentally double-clicks instead of
333 single-clicking. Thanks to Alan Wu (@XrXr)!
334 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer crashes in Firefox 49+.
335 - Fixed: The “URL popup,” shown when hovering or focusing links, now appears
336 again when focusing links using `zf` (regression since 0.17.0).
337 - Updated locale: it. Thanks to Carlo Bertoldi (@cbertoldi)!
338
339 ### 0.17.0 (2016-06-08)
340
341 - Fixed: VimFx no longer scrolls smaller elements on a page instead of the
342 entire page on some sites.
343 - Improved: The `/`, `n` and `N` have been drastically sped up (when
344 [`find_from_top_of_viewport`][find_from_top_of_viewport-1] is on). Previously,
345 they appeared to freeze on some sites, but not anymore.
346 - Improved: You can no longer accidentally trigger VimFx between pressing `/`
347 and the find bar input being is focused.
348 - Improved: The `n` and `N` commands are now more robust.
349 - Improved: “Fullscreen” buttons and “Copy to clipboard” buttons can now be
350 activated the `f` command. Thanks to Alan Wu (@XrXr)!
351 - Changed: After having pressed `m` or `` ` `` VimFx no longer waits
352 indefinitely for you to press a mark key. Instead, the [timeout] option is
353 honored.
354 - Changed: After having pressed `m` or `` ` `` you can now press `<escape>` to
355 abort those commands.
356 - Changed: Find mode is no longer shown in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
357 dialog, to reduce clutter. (This can be changed through custom
358 [styling][styling-1].)
359 - Changed: The `?` command as well as the toolbar button now _toggle_ VimFx’s
360 Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (instead of always showing it, even if it was
361 already shown.)
362 - Changed: Counts are now ignored in Ignore mode. Previously, pressing number
363 keys would both send those key presses to the page _and_ contribute to the
364 count for commands (showing up in the bottom-right corner). This is no longer
365 the case.
366 - Updated locales: fr, zh-CN and zh-TW. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r),
367 @av2000ii and Robert Wang (@cyberrob)!
368
369 [find_from_top_of_viewport-1]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/288bd3317cbed3a57e42a754099b96efe6c1e38d/documentation/options.md#find_from_top_of_viewport

372
373 ### 0.16.1 (2016-05-29)
374
375 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer crashes (regression since 0.16.0).
376
377 ### 0.16.0 (2016-05-29)
378
379 - Fixed: The text input focus detection problems introduced in 0.15.1, which
380 sometimes caused VimFx commands to be triggered while typing in text inputs,
381 have been fixed.
382 - Improved: If you press `n` or `N` when there are are no matches for your
383 search, the find bar is no longer opened. Only a notification is shown. The
384 reliability of those notifications has also been improved.
385 - Improved: Hints mode now finds more links.
386 - Improved: Pressing `<c-enter>` in Hints mode now includes more elements.
387 - Updated locales: es, zh-CN. Thanks to @strel and @av2000ii!
388
389 ### 0.15.1 (2016-05-22)
390
391 - Improved: Better hints on Twitter.
392 - Improved: Compatibility with the [Evernote Web Clipper] add-on (and
393 potentially other add-ons with similar UI).
394 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!
395
396 [Evernote Web Clipper]: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/evernote-web-clipper/
397
398 ### 0.15.0 (2016-05-18)
399
400 - Improved: Hint markers now appear up to twice as fast on many pages. This is
401 done by creating the hint markers in two phases. Most are created in the
402 first, fast, phase. The rest take the same time as older VimFx versions to
403 show up.
404 - Fixed: VimFx no longer triggers commands while typing in fancy text inputs on
405 some sites, such as when composing a new tweet on Twitter. (See also the
406 [`blur_timeout`] pref.)
407 - Changed: The `<c-enter>` Hints mode command no longer _replaces_ all hint
408 markers on screen (with new ones for all elements on screen). Instead, it
409 _toggles_ your current hint markers with ones for all _other_ elements on
410 screen.
411 - Changed: There was a breaking change to the [`vimfx.setHintMatcher`] function
412 of the `frame.js` config file API. It no longer receives and returns an object
413 (of the shape `{type, semantic}`), but instead simply receives and returns the
414 `type` of the element.
415 - Improved: Some internal robustness refactoring.
416 - Updated locales: de, id, nl and zh-CN. Thanks to @just-barcodes, Yoppy
417 Halilintar (@comepradz), @HJTP, @av2000ii and @mozillazg.

421
422 ### 0.14.3 (2016-05-08)
423
424 - Fixed: Version 0.14.2 attempted to fix smooth scrolling speed in newer Firefox
425 versions. However, there was a tiny typo that caused the fix not to work. That
426 typo has been corrected.
427
428 ### 0.14.2 (2016-05-08)
429
430 - Fixed: Smooth scrolling speed is now correct again in newer Firefox versions.
431 - Fixed: The `yv` Caret mode command now only copies text that you can see on
432 screen (not any hidden text that might be on the page), making it truly work
433 like `zv` followed by `y`, as intended. This problem was very noticeable on
434 Slack. This also improves copying of 'contenteditable' elements using `yf`.
435 - Fixed: `<escape>` and arrow key handling as well as hint markers in the
436 devtools now work correctly again in newer Firefox versions.
437 - Fixed: VimFx no longer makes it impossible to open the Developer Toolbar.
438 - Improved: VimFx now ignores `<numlock>` and `<capslock>`. If your keyboard
439 sends `<numlock>` before some symbols, such as `<numlock>$` instead of just
440 `$`, shortcuts like `gx$` now work out of the box. This also means that you
441 can use `<capslock>` instead of `<shift>` when typing the `J` in `gJ`, for
442 example.
443 - Improved: Some minor cosmetic tweaks in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
444 dialog.
445
446 ### 0.14.1 (2016-04-30)
447
448 - Fixed: The Find commands (such as `/`, `n` and `N`) no longer crash on some
449 sites (regression since 0.14.0).
450
451 ### 0.14.0 (2016-04-29)
452
453 - Added: [Caret mode], which lets you copy text from web pages using the
454 keyboard.
455 - Improved: The Find commands (such as `/`, `n` and `N`) now search from the top
456 of the viewport, instead of from the top of the document, which is more
457 Vim-like and less disorienting. To read more about it (or to return to the
458 Firefox default behavior) please see the [`find_from_top_of_viewport`] pref.
459 - Improved: Compatibility with the [BackTrack Tab History] add-on.
460 - Added: The `<c-enter>` Hints mode command, which creates hint markers for
461 _all_ elements.
462 - Fixed: `__dirname` inside config files now works on Windows. Thanks to
463 Zhong Jianxin (@azuwis)!
464 - Fixed: Unnecessary full-page hint markers on some sites, such as Hackernews,
465 no longer appear.

470
471 ### 0.13.2 (2016-04-08)
472
473 - Improved: The “last position mark” `` ` `` now works more reliably.
474 - Improved: More video players are now recognized. Many video players lets you
475 press `<space>` while focused to toggle play/pause. VimFx tries to detect if
476 the currently focused element is a video player. If so, `<space>` is passed to
477 the video player instead of scrolling the page. (For those interested, see
478 also the [`adjustable_element_keys`] pref.)
479
480 [`adjustable_element_keys`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/645e35d7d82019b0551534c43926bc126e7105bd/documentation/options.md#adjustable_element_keys
481
482 ### 0.13.1 (2016-04-01)
483
484 - Fixed: Blacklisting of some XUL pages.
485 - Fixed: The current mode is no longer lost when a page loads. For example, if
486 you press `zF` while a page is loading, the markers no longer disappear.
487 - Fixed: Elements that you have focused using an `f` command no longer get stuck
488 appearing as if you’d put the mouse pointer.
489 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @mozillazg!
490
491 ### 0.13.0 (2016-03-19)
492
493 - Added: The `T` command, which opens a new tab after the current.
494 - Changed: The `gl` command now deals with _visited_ tabs only.
495 - Added: The [`gL`] command, which deals with <em>un</em>visited tabs only, in
496 oldest-first order. Use this to step through your unvisited background tabs in
497 the order you opened them (for example using the `F` command).
498 - Improved: The `gi` command no longer tries to focus the last focused text
499 input if it has been removed from the page. If so, it finds a new one instead.
500 - Fixed: You can now type in sidebar text inputs (such as in the history
501 sidebar) without having to switch to Ignore mode.
502 - Changed: If you enter Ignore mode you will now stay in Ignore mode in that tab
503 until you explicitly exit it (by pressing `<s-escape>`), even if you reload
504 the page or follow a link. If Ignore mode was entered automatically because of
505 the [blacklist][blacklist-2], though, you will be automatically returned to
506 Normal mode if
507 the URL changes to a non-blacklisted page.
508 - Added: VimFx can now automatically enter and exit Ignore mode based on the
509 currently focused element. Currently, the [wasavi] extension as well as
510 [CodeMirror] in Vim mode are detected. Both of those provide Vim-style
511 editors. This allows sending `<escape>` to those editors in order to exit
512 their Insert mode, without blurring the editor.
513 - Improved: CodeMirror editors now get better hints, keeping the cursor where
514 you left it.
515 - Improved: The [blacklist][blacklist-2] is now applied faster on some pages.
516 - Improved: Many audio and video elements are now recognized as “adjustable”,
517 allowing you to press for example `<space>` on them to toggle play/pause,
518 without scrolling the page.
519 - Improved: Scrolling by pages, such as using the `<space>` command, now takes
520 fixed heaears and footers into account, just like Firefox does.
521 - Fixed: Access keys now work correctly in context menus in the devtools and
522 `about:config`.
523 - Improved: The arrow keys now Just Work in the devtools, even if you have bound
524 them to VimFx commands.
525 - Changed: The public API has been removed, and turned into the Config file API.
526 If you were already using a config file, it will no longer work. You need to
527 set up a new one, but you should be able to simply copy and paste the contents
528 of the old one into the new one. Read the [config file] documentation for more
529 information.
530 - Changed: There are a few minor breaking changes to the API, though I doubt it
531 will affect anyone.
532 - If you use [`vimfx.on`], you probably need to adjust the arguments of the
533 your callbacks. They are now _always_ passed an object of data, instead of
534 sometimes passing the data directly.
535 - `match.focus` of [match object]s has been removed, and replaced by
536 `vim.focusType` of [vim object]s.
537 - Fixed: The toolbar button’s icon is now correctly sized when setting
538 `layout.css.devPixelsPerPx` to `2`. Thanks to Robert Ma (@Hexcles) and Dale
539 Whinham (@dwhinham)!
540 - Fixed: Find commands now work when the find bar was opened before the page had
541 finished loading.
542 - Improved: Lots of internal improvements. This should make VimFx faster, more
543 reliable and more responsive.
544 - All keyboard event handling (except `<late>` shortcuts) are now handled in
545 the UI process, instead of mostly in each tab’s web page content process.
546 This should make VimFx’s shortcuts more reliable and responsive.
547 - Removed all synchronous message passing (execpt for `<late>` keypresses).
548 Mozilla recommends using them only where absolutely necessary. Turns out
549 VimFx doesn’t need them anymore!
550 - The `f` commands are now more reliable. Before, they could crash on rare
551 occasions (on certain web pages), but that is less likely now.
552 - Less `MutationObserver`s are now used. This should improve performance.
553 - Less uncaught errors (especially on shutdown).
554 - Lots of minor improvements.
555 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!

565
566 ### 0.12.0 (2016-02-03)
567
568 - Improved: More clickable elements are now recognized. Most notably, elements
569 with click event listeners added by JavaScript now get hints.
570 - Improved: Autofocus prevention after using the `[` and `]` commands.
571 - Added: In VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (which can be opened by
572 pressing `?`) you can now click on any command to open VimFx’s settings page
573 in the Add-ons Manager and automatically select the text input for that
574 command, letting you edit its shortcuts. Tip: Use the `zF` command to click
575 without using the mouse.
576 - Changed: Autofocus is no longer prevented in Firefox internal pages, such as
577 `about:preferences`, `about:addons` and `about:config` (as well as other XUL
578 pages).
579 - Fixed: VimFx and the Beyond Australis extension do not conflict with each
580 other anymore.
581 - Fixed: The `gH` command no longer nags you about “No back/forward history”
582 even though there is.
583 - Added: The `gl` command now takes a [count][gl-count].
584 - Improved: Optimized CPU usage in Hints mode. (See also the [`hints_sleep`]
585 pref.)
586 - Improved: The `H` and `L` commands should now be more reliable in Firefox 43
587 and later.
588 - Changed: There was a tiny breaking change to the Public API, though I doubt it
589 will affect anyone. (See [commit 0ca807605e] if you’re especially interested.)
590 - Improved: _Several_ minor things, and some really nice internal refactoring.
591 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
592
593 [`hints_sleep`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/92b483c4a4f6da0b2c998267e0f01d3d999f93b6/documentation/options.md#hints_sleep

596
597 ### 0.11.0 (2016-01-15)
598
599 - Fixed: The `` ` `` command is no longer broken.
600 - Fixed: Memory leak.
601 - Added: The `gl` command, which takes you to the most recent tab.
602 - Improved: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now scrollable using VimFx’s
603 scrolling commands. To allow for this, the search field is no longer
604 autofocused. Instead, press `/` to open it.
605 - Improved: Using the `f` commands, such as `f` and `zf`, now works like
606 actually moving your mouse onto the link, making hover menus and such-like
607 appear.
608 - Improved: VimFx should now work better with Google Drive Documents, Etherpad
609 and a few other fancy text editors.
610 - Improved: The `]` command now works on google.com.
611 - Improved: Checkboxes and menu items on gmail.com are now given hints by the
612 `f` command.
613 - Improved: The `gi` command now also recognizes 'contenteditable' elements.
614 - Improved: Hint markers now move along together with their elements.
615 - Fixed: Hint markers should now be correctly positioned when zooming.
616 - Fixed: The toolbar button icon should now look correctly on Retina screens.
617 - Added: You may now disable counts by using toggling the [`counts_enabled`]
618 pref.
619 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
620 - Improved: Several minor things.
621
622 [`counts_enabled`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8dae7aec9008595da31b939d5ae2d239849cf6dc/documentation/options.md#counts_enabled
623
624 ### 0.10.0 (2015-12-09)
625
626 - Added: The `zF` command, which lets you click browser elements.
627 - Improved: The scrolling commands can now scroll browser elements (in other
628 words, not only web page content), by first selecting the scollable element
629 using `zF`.
630 - Added: The `gr` command, which toggles [Reader View].
631 - Added: The `gX` command, which opens the Recently Closed Tabs menu at the
632 middle of the screen.
633 - Added: The keys you’ve typed so far of a command, as well the count, are now
634 shown in a [notification]. (You may disable this using the
635 [`notify_entered_keys`] pref.)
636 - Improved: When commands don’t do anything, they show a [notification] instead,
637 letting you know that you actually pressed the right keys. For example, if you
638 press `f` but there are no markable elements visible, a notification is shown
639 telling you so, instead of silently doing nothing.
640 - Improved: `<space>` now scrolls _about a line less_ than a full page, just
641 like Firefox does by default. `d` scroll about _half_ a line less (by
642 default), so that pressing `d` twice works like pressing `<space>` once. (See
643 the [`scroll.full_page_adjustment` and `scroll.half_page_adjustment`] prefs
644 for more information.)
645 - Improved: `gi` now only selects all text in its text input if you haven’t
646 focused a text input yet (allowing you to easily replace pre-filled text),
647 instead of _always_ doing so. Otherwise, it now puts the cursor where you left
648 off typing the last time.
649 - Fixed: The `f` commands now put the cursor where you left off typing the last
650 time when focusing a text input. Previously, they accidentally selected all
651 text in the text input (use `zf` for that behavior).
652 - Fixed: Yet a scrolling fix. VimFx’s scrolling commands should now “just work”
653 on even more sites.
654 - Fixed: AltGr should now work out of the box on Windows. (See the
655 [`ignore_ctrl_alt`] pref for more information.)
656 - Removed: The el-GR, hu and pl locales were sadly too out of date to be useful,
657 and nobody has shown interest in updating them, so they were removed.
658 - Updated locales: id, de and zh-CN. Thanks to Yoppy Halilintar, @just-barcodes
659 and @mozillazg!
660 - Fixed: Several tiny bugs.

667
668 ### 0.9.0 (2015-12-02)
669
670 - Fixed: Links with the `onclick` attribute can now be opened in new tabs again.
671 (Regression since 0.8.0.)
672 - Fixed: The text size in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now
673 correctly resized.
674 - Added: The `gH` command. It opens the back/forward button context menu in the
675 middle of the window, allowing you to choose a history entry with the arrow
676 keys and `<enter>`.
677
678 ### 0.8.0 (2015-12-01)
679
680 - Fixed: VimFx now works properly in tabs moved to other windows.
681 - Fixed: An unreliable check for multi-process mode has been eliminated, fixing
682 various problems for some users.
683 - Fixed: VimFx’s toolbar button now changes color correctly when switching
684 between blacklisted and non-blacklisted tabs.
685 - Fixed: Dead keys now work out of the box on Windows.
686 - Improved: Links with the `onclick` attribute (abused as buttons) can no longer
687 get the same hint as another link.
688 - Added: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (shown by pressing `?`) is now
689 searchable.
690 - Added: The `g/` command. It’s like `/` but searches links only.
691
692 - Added: [Marks].
693
694 - Use `ma` to mark the current scroll position and `` `a `` to return to it.
695 (You may substitute `a` with any key press.)
696 - Use ``` `` ``` to return to the position before the last `gg`, `G`, `0`,
697 `$`, `/`, `n`, `N` or `` ` ``. (You can change this mark using the
698 [`last_scroll_position_mark`] pref.)
699
700 - Added: Window commands.
701
702 - `w`: Open new window.
703 - `W`: Open new private window.
704 - `gw`: Move tab to new window.
705 - `gF`: Follow link in new window.
706
707 [Marks]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/47fc699ce8217ee90af4d12e81f102f2bea09d61/documentation/commands.md#marks-m-and-

709
710 ### 0.7.3 (2015-11-22)
711
712 - Fixed: Scrolling now works correctly in pages in quirks mode (lacking a
713 doctype), such as Hackernews.
714 - Improved: The largest scrollable element is now detected better in frames.
715 - Fixed: Hints mode now exits correctly when focusing a text input using `af`,
716 or `f` with a count.
717
718 ### 0.7.2 (2015-11-21)
719
720 - Fixed: The blinking text caret now always appears correctly when focusing text
721 inputs.
722
723 ### 0.7.1 (2015-11-21)
724
725 - Fixed: The scrolling commands should now “just work” when using non-default
726 zoom or DPI settings, most notably on Google Groups.
727
728 ### 0.7.0 (2015-11-19)
729
730 - Changed: Instead of using system notifications, which turned out to be a bit
731 too intrusive, [notifications] are now similar to the “URL popup” (shown when
732 hovering or focusing links) but are placed on the opposite side,.
733 - Changed: The “Focus next element” and “Focus previous element” commands have
734 been removed. The reason they existed was to let `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` only
735 cycle between text inputs (as opposed to _all_ focusable elements) after
736 you’ve pressed `gi`. Now, `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` are handled specially instead,
737 and _only_ after pressing `gi`. The reason for this change is that the now
738 removed commands were too intrusive, breaking user habits. One of VimFx’s main
739 goal is _not_ to do that. (You can turn the special handling of `<tab>` and
740 `<s-tab>` off using the the new [`focus_previous_key` and `focus_next_key`]
741 prefs.)
742 - Fixed: The scrolling commands should now “just work” in a lot more situations,
743 most notably on Gmail and Google Groups. More scrollable elements are also
744 recognized by the `f` and `zf` commands.
745 - Improved: The right border of hint markers for scrollable elements is now
746 styled to remind of a scroll bar, making them easier to recognize among hints
747 for links.
748 - Improved/Changed: `J` and `gJ` now allow a count on the first tab.
749 Consequently, `K` and `gK` now allow a count on the _last_ tab.
750 - Changed: `gJ` and `gK` can no longer be used to pin or unpin tabs. They now
751 only wrap around tabs of the same pinned state. Use `gp` to toggle between
752 pinned and non-pinned.
753 - Fixed: Many elements that got a hint before VimFx 0.6.0 now do again.
754 - Improved: Comment fields on Facebook can now be focused using `f` and blurred
755 using `<escape>`.
756 - Improved: VimFx’s toolbar button is no greyed out when you focus a text input.
757 This is to show that your key presses will be passed into the text input
758 rather than activating VimFx commands.
759 - Added: [`g0`, `g^` and `g$` now accept counts][tab-index-counts], allowing you
760 to go to tab number _count._
761 - Improved: `gi` now finds text inputs inside frames.
762 - Fixed: “gi mode” is now exited properly when blurring a text input.
763 - Fixed: `<select>` elements are no longer considered to be text inputs when
764 using `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` in “gi mode.”
765 - Fixed: Using `<force>` or `<late>` in a shortcut no longer applies to _every_
766 shortcut for the command, but only that shortcut.
767 - Fixed: The order of the Previous/Next page patterns is now respected. This
768 caused the wrong link to be picked by the `[` and `]` commands on some pages.

773
774 ### 0.6.2 (2015-11-11)
775
776 - Improved: If the entire page isn’t scrollable, the largest scrollable element
777 is scrolled instead.
778 - Fixed: VimFx’s keyboard shortcuts now works on slowly loading pages.
779 - Fixed: Numbers may now be used as shortcut keys (overriding counts).
780 - Fixed: The toolbar button’s icon is now correctly sized in high DPI.
781 - Fixed: Hint markers are now correctly positioned when zooming using the “Zoom
782 text only” option.
783 - Fixed: The `P` command now works with the InstantFox add-on.
784
785 ### 0.6.1 (2015-11-10)
786
787 - Fixed: If you customized the “esc” command before VimFx 0.6.0 it should now
788 work as expected.
789 - Fixed: `<tab>` now works as expected in the location bar and in the dev tools.
790 - Fixed: Light-weight themes can no longer make VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
791 dialog and hint markers unreadable.
792 - Added: The [notifications\_enabled] option.
793
794 [notifications\_enabled]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/56c4b7c514ea8b58d2cdcecf3d2654648c48ca31/documentation/options.md#notifications_enabled
795
796 ### 0.6.0 (2015-11-09)
797
798 ##### Most important (breaking) changes
799
800 - VimFx now works properly with **any keyboard layout.** Users of **multiple
801 layouts** should enable the **[ignore keyboard layout] option.** #249 #259
802
803 - Features related to disabling VimFx, and to the [toolbar button]:
804
805 - **Insert Mode** has been renamed to **_Ignore_ mode.**
806 - **[Blacklisted][blacklist] sites** now **enter Ignore mode automatically,**
807 instead of being specially handled.
808 - The feature to click the toolbar button (or press `<a-V>`) to **disable
809 VimFx** has been **removed.** Use **Ignore mode** (`i`) and the
810 **[blacklist] instead.**
811 - The **toolbar button** is now **red in Ignore mode** (which also means that
812 it is red on blacklisted sites) and green otherwise (never grey anymore).
813 - The toolbar button no longer offers to (un-)blacklist the current domain.
814 (Head into VimFx’s settings page in the Add-ons Manager and add
815 `*currentdomain.com*` to the [blacklist] option yourself instead.)
816
817 (See [commit 3552282] for more information.)
818
819 - **Some default shortcuts have changed,** mostly because they conflicted with
820 standard Firefox shortcuts: #308
821
822 - `<c-J>` → `gJ`
823
824 - `<c-K>` → `gK`
825
826 - `g^` and `gH` → `g0`
827
828 `g^` now selects the first _non pinned_ tab instead, while `g0`
829 selects the first tab regardless of whether it is pinned or not. #317
830
831 - `<c-e>` (alias for `j`) and `<c-y>` (alias for `k`) have been removed.
832
833 - `<c-f>` → `<space>` and `<c-b>` → `<s-space>`
834
835 - `vf` → `zf`
836
837 This frees up `v` for future shortcuts (instead making `z` a
838 “namespace” key, just like in Vim).
839
840 - To **exit Ignore mode:** `<escape>` → `<s-escape>`. This is because Ignore
841 mode has replaced the disable feature, as well as the special blacklist
842 state (see above). Sites are likely to use `<escape>` but not `<s-escape>`.
843 (In a way, this new role of Ignore mode also means that the old (many times
844 broken) shortcut to disable VimFx (`<a-V>`) has been replaced by `i`.) #64
845 \#375 #432
846
847 - VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now help only, and more accessible.
848 To **customize keyboard shortcuts,** go to VimFx’s settings page **in the
849 Add-ons Manager,** just like you would to customize other settings. Also,
850 **commas** between every key are **no longer needed:** Type `gJ` instead of
851 `g,J`.
852
853 - For performance reasons, **Hint markers** are now placed vertically **centered
854 instead of at the top** of the element. Don’t be surprised if you see the same
855 hint repeated several times**—links that go to the same place now get the same
856 hint.** The “Smart hints” option has been removed—hints are _always_ smart
857 now, and a lot smarter than before. Finally, hints now also work in the new
858 tab page, the Add-ons Manager and the preferences page. If you want to, you
859 can read more about [the `f` commands]. \#51 #60 #176 #320 #325 #468 #471 #475
860
861 - The **`F`** command now _always_ opens tabs in new **background** tabs, while
862 **`gf`** has been added to open tabs in new **foreground** tabs. #227 #464
863
864 - **Autofocus prevention** is now **off by default.** One of VimFx’s core
865 philosophies is to be nice to your browser habits. Some find autofocus
866 prevention too big a change. Turn it on again if you like it! By the way,
867 autofocus prevention now works much more reliably and should not cause issues
868 with other extensions. #497 #541
869
870 - The **“Scroll step”** option has been **removed**. The scrolling commands that
871 used it now **work like the arrow keys instead,** and are customized just like
872 them. See [scrolling prefs] for more information.
873
874 - Speaking of scrolling, **which elements scrolls** when you use VimFx’s
875 scrolling commands **has changed.** See [scrolling commands] for more
876 information.
877
878 ##### New features
879
880 - New commands:
881
882 - `gp` pins or unpins the current tab. (Also see `g^` and `g0` mentioned
883 above.) #121
884 - `yt` duplicates the current tab. #121
885 - `0` and `^` scroll to the far left, and `$` scrolls to the far right.
886 - [`gi`] has finally been implemented. #47
887 - [Ignore mode `<s-f1>`] let you run a Normal mode command without exiting
888 Ignore mode.
889
890 - In Hints mode you can now hold ctrl and alt to change behavior of the matched
891 marker. Hold shift to temporarily make the hints see-through. See [the `f`
892 commands] for more information. #220 #421 #484
893
894 - Some commands now accept [counts]. #374
895
896 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that work inside text inputs. See the
897 [`<force>`] key for more information. #258
898
899 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that the page can override. See the
900 [`<late>`] key for more information.
901
902 - A number of [advanced options] have been added. Rather than listing everything
903 regarding them here, follow that link if you’re interested. #452 #489
904
905 - You may now, if you want to, configure VimFx through a [config file], using
906 the new [public API]. Customizing VimFx through a config file also gives extra
907 abilities, such as [site-specific options][option-overrides] and [disabling
908 certain commands on certain sites][key-overrides]. It also allows to add
909 [custom commands] \(and other extensions to extend VimFx). #158 #235 #255 #261
910 \#300 #408 #445 #490 #515
911
912 - It is now easier to customize VimFx through custom [styling]. An example is
913 changing the way hint markers look. #220 #233 #424 #432 #465
914
915 - VimFx now has [documentation] and a [wiki].
916
917 - A few new locales were added:
918
919 - fr. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r)!
920 - pt-BR. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)!
921 - sv-SE. Thanks to Andreas Lindhé (@lindhe)!
922
923 ##### Improvements
924
925 - VimFx is now multi-process/Electrolysis/e10s compatible! This means that you
926 can run VimFx on a version of Firefox with multi-process enabled without
927 issues, and that we’re future proof for the day when Firefox becomes
928 multi-process by default. Best of all, it also made VimFx more reliable in
929 non-multi-process (“regular”) Firefox. #378
930
931 - The `[` and `]` commands are now smarter, recognizing more links to the
932 previous/next page correctly. You may read more about [previous/next page
933 patterns]. #396
934
935 - The `n` and `N` commands now notify you when they wrap around the page, or the
936 phrase you searched for could not be found. #398
937
938 - _All_ shortcuts in _all modes_ can now be customized. For example, this allows
939 you to disable VimFx’s Vim-style `<enter>` behavior in the find bar. #222 #390
940 \#421
941
942 - The `p` and `P` commands are now smarter regarding whether to treat the
943 clipboard contents as a URL or a search, by working exactly like pasting in
944 the location bar. They also now read the selection clipboard, if available.
945 \#353 #382
946
947 - VimFx’s toolbar button is now properly implemented. #303 #349 #383
948
949 - Most locales were updated. Thanks to our awesome [translators]!
950
951 ##### Minor bug fixes
952
953 - VimFx now works correctly in tabs dragged to other windows. #57
954 - The `p` command is no longer broken. #494
955 - Non-ASCII shortcut keys now work properly. #433
956 - The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog can no longer be covered by page elements.
957 \#477
958 - Hint markers can no longer be covered by page elements.
959 - VimFx no longer causes scripts on icloud.com to get stuck in an infinite loop.

985
986 ### 0.5.17 (2015-01-23)
987
988 - Fixed: The hints generation no longer crashes on some pages (regression since
989 version 0.5.15).
990
991 ### 0.5.16 (2015-01-22)
992
993 - Fixed: The toolbar button no longer throws errors. (This fix should have been
994 in 0.5.15 but was forgotten. Luckily an AMO reviewer found it.)
995
996 ### 0.5.15 (2015-01-21)
997
998 - Improved: This version is now forwards-compatible with the upcoming version
999 0.6.0. Downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.14 or older might cause VimFx to crash,
1000 but downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.15 is safe.
1001 - Fixed: Non-hintchars key presses in hints mode are now suppressed. They used
1002 to be passed along to the browser, which could confusingly activate site
1003 commands.
1004 - Fixed: The 'f' command now always opens links in the same tab. Links used to
1005 be able to force a new tab or window.
1006 - Fixed: Pressing 'Esc' in the location bar now restores the URL, as is the
1007 default behaviour of Firefox. You may now also close Firefox dialogs using
1008 'Esc'.
1009 - Improved: Updated the de locale. Thanks to Alexander Haeussler!
1010 - Improved: Updated the pl locale. Thanks to morethanoneanimal!
1011
1012 ### 0.5.14 (2014-08-16)
1013
1014 - Fixed: Locales should now work properly.
1015 - Improved: Updated the zh-CN locale (@mozillazg).
1016 - Improved: Updated the de locale (@Kambfhase).
1017 - Added: Japanese locale (@pluser).
1018 - Fixed: If you switched to another tab or window while an `<input>` element
1019 was focused and then switched back, the `<input>` element got blurred, while
1020 it should have stayed focused. This caused the auto-type feature of KeePassX
1021 to break.
1022
1023 ### 0.5.13 (2014-08-02)
1024
1025 - Fixed: The vote button on StackExchange sites are now markable again.
1026 - Improved: Detection of previous/next links. Should work better on gmail now.
1027 - Fixed: It is now possible to use Enter/Return in keyboard shortcuts.
1028 - Improved: The n/N commands (etc.) now work even if you didn’t open the finbar
1029 using the VimFx command (such as the default key binding ctrl+f, or by
1030 clicking a menu item).
1031 - Improved: It is now possible to blur text inputs without sending Esc to the
1032 page, which could cause dialogs etc. to annoyingly close.
1033 - Improved: Updated the el-GR locale (@sirodoht).
1034 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention sometimes made text inputs impossible to focus
1035 until you reloaded the page.
1036 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now works on more sites than before.
1037 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now prevents _all_ automatic focusing (not
1038 just when the page loads). This makes devdocs.io much easier to use.
1039 - Added: When viewing images directly and the image has been resized to fit the
1040 screen the image is now markable, allowing you to toggle zoom on it using the
1041 keyboard.
1042 - Fixed: It is no longer possible to add conflicting shortcuts (such as adding
1043 'a' when 'af' and 'as' are already present).
1044
1045 ### 0.5.12 (2014-06-01)
1046
1047 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention got stuck sometimes, making it impossible to
1048 focus inputs.
1049
1050 ### 0.5.11 (2014-06-01)
1051
1052 - Fixed: The focus search bar command was broken.
1053 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention was broken.
1054 - Fixed: The top bar on YouTube could not be accessed by VimFx.
1055 - Fixed: You can no longer add blank hotkeys.
1056 - Improved: Tab Groups are supported.
1057 - Improved: Matching of previous/next links should be more reliable.
1058 - Improved: A few minor things.
1059
1060 ### 0.5.10 (2014-05-07)
1061
1062 - Fixed yet another bug related to the default preferences
1063
1064 ### 0.5.9 (2014-05-04)
1065
1066 - Fixed a bug with default preferences not being set
1067 - Fixed gg and G to be faster

1080 - Updated pagination patterns and logic
1081
1082 ### 0.5.5 (2014-01-03)
1083
1084 - Hotfix release to address a bug that has been introduced in 0.5.4
1085
1086 ### 0.5.4 (2014-01-03)

1162 - Added `o` command to focus location bar.
1163 - `p` and `P` will parse the contents of the clipboard. If the string in the
