[VimFx.git] / CHANGELOG.md
1 ### 0.21.0 (2019-05-12)
2
3 - Waterfox 68 compatibility (tested on FF/WF56, FF64 and WF68) by @matsuhav and
4 @girst
5
6 ### 0.20.15 (2018-08-06)
7
8 - Fixed: Find mode now works properly again. Thanks to @matsuhav!
9
10 ### 0.20.14 (2018-05-15)
11
12 - Fixed: VimFx should now work properly in Firefox 61 (if you have enabled
13 legacy extensions) as well as older versions of Firefox. The latest few
14 versions have been a bit buggy, but things should work better now. Thanks to
15 Kevin Cox (@kevincox) and 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
16
17 ### 0.20.13 (2018-05-06)
18
19 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 61 (if you have enabled legacy
20 extensions). Thanks to Kevin Cox (@kevincox), 依云 (@lilydjwg) and Jan
21 Kokemüller (@jiixyj)!
22
23 ### 0.20.12 (2018-01-23)
24
25 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 59 (if you have enabled legacy
26 extensions). Thanks to Kevin Cox (@kevincox) and 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
27 - Updated locale: es. Thanks to @strel!
28
29 ### 0.20.11 (2017-11-19)
30
31 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 58 (if you have enabled legacy
32 extensions). Thanks to 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
33
34 ### 0.20.10 (2017-03-25)
35
36 - Improved: Autofocus is now prevented when going back in history on pages that
37 use `history.pushState()` (in other words, on the 'popstate' event).
38 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!
39
40 ### 0.20.9 (2017-02-21)
41
42 - Fixed: The `yy` command now works as expected in Reader Mode.
43
44 ### 0.20.8 (2017-01-14)
45
46 - Improved: The scrolling commands now scroll the closest scrollable parent of
47 the currently focused element (if it is not scrollable itself). This is
48 noticeable for Twitter’s modals, which are often scrollable. No longer any
49 need to use the `f` or `ef` commands to scroll those modals!
50
51 ### 0.20.7 (2017-01-07)
52
53 - Improved: The `[` and `]` commands now work in Google search results.
54 - Improved: You can now show the “emoji picker” of the “like” button on Facebook
55 by using the `ef` command.
56 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @interleaved!
57
58 ### 0.20.6 (2016-12-16)
59
60 - Fixed: The `'`, `g[` and `g]` commands no longer crash. (Regression since
61 0.20.5.)
62 - Fixed: The `ef` command can now focus elements in deeply nested frames again.
63 (Regression since 0.19.0.)
64 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` and `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` are now properly
65 undone when reloading a config file (`gC`).
66 - Improved: Hint markers for elements with multiline text no longer cover the
67 text.
68 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @interleaved!
69
70 ### 0.20.5 (2016-12-04)
71
72 - Fixed: Scrolling by holding `d`, `u`, `<space>` or `<s-space>` no longer goes
73 slower and slower (and finally grinding to a halt) on long pages with lots of
74 elements. (See also the [`scroll.repeat_timeout`] pref.)
75 - Improved: All config API functions now validate all their parameters properly.
76 This provides a better user experience, and, most importantly, prevents VimFx
77 from crashing on certain invalid input.
78
79 [`scroll.repeat_timeout`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/58deb3f7b7c470a4d705f1dabf7aa13e095e8d09/documentation/options.md#smooth-scrolling
80
81 ### 0.20.4 (2016-11-16)
82
83 - Fixed: The `n` and `N` commands now work in Firefox’s PDF viewer.
84 - Fixed: The `eb` command can now click the tab bar scroll buttons.
85 - Fixed: Elements marked by the `eb` command now correctly get hints based on
86 their area again.
87 - Improved: The `eb` command now favors the browser tabs and their close
88 buttons, giving them better hints.
89 - Improved: The hints given to the browser tabs by the `eb` command are now
90 consistent no matter how many tabs you have open. This means that the first
91 tab always gets the same hint, the second tab always get the same hint, and so
92 on.
93 - Improved: Hint markers are now placed next to the text of the element if
94 appropriate. For example, the hint marker for a button with centered text is
95 now placed just to the left of the text rather than at the left edge of
96 button. This is nice because it means that hint markers usually end up where
97 you were just reading.
98 - Improved: The positioning of hint markers has been fine-tuned by a pixel or so
99 in some cases.
100 - Improved: Custom styled checkboxes and radio buttons now get hint markers
101 faster (they are now found in the first pass rather than the second).
102 - Improved: Compatibility with the [Tab Center] add-on.
103 - Improved: Blurring the location bar is now more consistent. Previously, its
104 text wasn’t reset if the autocomplete popup was open when you pressed
105 `<escape>` to blur it.
106 - Fixed: An edge case where the wrong hint markers could be highlighted.
107
108 [Tab Center]: https://testpilot.firefox.com/experiments/tab-center/
109
110 ### 0.20.3 (2016-10-22)
111
112 - Improved: Full page scrolling now recognizes the fixed footer on medium.com.
113 - Fixed: Scrollable element can now be focused with the `f` command again (not
114 just with the `ef` command). (Regression since 0.19.0.)
115 - Fixed: `<escape>` is no longer accidentally leaked to the page when used to
116 blur text inputs. This allows blurring text inputs in modals without closing
117 the modal (which `<escape>` commonly does otherwise).
118
119 ### 0.20.2 (2016-10-16)
120
121 - Fixed: Text inputs and links inside frames can now be focused using hint
122 commands again. (Regression since 0.19.0.)
123 - Improved: Previously focused text inputs inside frames no longer steal the
124 focus when entering Caret mode in that frame.
125 - Improved: When several hint markers have the same hint (because their links
126 go to the same place), the _largest_ of those links is now chosen when
127 activating that hint. This might be noticeable via focus styling.
128 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @av2000ii!
129
130 ### 0.20.1 (2016-10-09)
131
132 - Improved: Caret mode is now a bit more robust. It can no longer make you end
133 up with [Firefox’s own Caret mode] accidentally enabled.
134 - Improved: If you try use for example `<ctrl>-j` as a keyboard shortcut, VimFx
135 will now tell you that you probably want `<c-j>` instead.
136 - Fixed: Using a keyboard shortcut to switch keyboard layout in GNOME while
137 inside a text input no longer causes the focus of that text input to be lost
138 when the Prevent autofocus option is enabled.
139 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @av2000ii!
140
141 [Firefox’s own Caret mode]: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Accessibility_features_of_Firefox#Allow_text_to_be_selected_with_the_keyboard
142
143 ### 0.20.0 (2016-10-02)
144
145 - Added: The `g[` and `g]` commands, which let you scroll to previous and next
146 scroll positions of the current page. This is similar to Vim’s jump list.
147 - Added: The `/` mark. Pressing `'/` takes you to the scroll position before the
148 last `/`, `a/` or `g/`.
149 - Fixed: Pressing `''` multiple times in a row now flips back and forth
150 between two scroll positions as expected.
151 - Fixed: Version 0.19.0 claimed to include the following improvement: “The hint
152 marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for a larger
153 element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).” However, a silly
154 mistake caused that improvement not to work. Now it does. For real.
155 - Fixed: All VimFx commands that copy text to the clipboard are now made sure to
156 also copy to the “selection clipboard” (if your system has such a thing). For
157 example, if you copy text using the `yv` command, the `p` command now uses
158 that copied text as expected.
159
160 ### 0.19.1 (2016-09-26)
161
162 - Fixed: The `'` command no longer crashes. (Regression since 0.19.0.)
163
164 ### 0.19.0 (2016-09-25)
165
166 #### Changes and improvements to Hints mode
167
168 **New feature:** Hint markers can now be filtered by element text, similar to
169 Vimium, Vimperator and Pentadactyl. This is useful for people who simply prefer
170 that workflow, and for clicking tiny pagination links (simply type its number!).
171
172 By default, filtering by element text is done by typing _uppercase_ characters
173 (hold down shift!). All characters other than the hint characters are now used
174 to filter hint markers by element text (rather than just being ignored). Do you
175 prefer filtering by element text, but dislike typing uppercase letters? Have a
176 look at how [hint characters] work to make things the other way around!
177
178 The markers with the best hint are now highlighted with a different color. You
179 may at any time press `<enter>` to activate those markers (or `<c-enter>` or
180 `<a-enter>` to change where and how to open links, just like you can hold ctrl
181 or alt for the last hint character).
182
183 Because of the above new features, the following default **Hints mode shortcuts
184 had to be changed:**
185
186 - `<space>` → `<c-space>` (`<s-space>` is left untouched)
187 - `<s->` → `<c-s->` (hold ctrl _and_ shift to peek through hint markers)
188 - `<enter>` → `<up>`
189 - `<c-enter>` → `<c-backspace>`
190
191 To make it easier to see the element text, hint markers are now nudged to the
192 left if they cover the text.
193
194 Other hint marker improvements:
195
196 - Hint markers are now 20% smaller by default. While trying to match text sizes
197 set by your operating system, they ended up a bit too large on most systems.
198 Check out the [Styling] documentation if you’d like to change the font size.
199 - Hint markers now have stronger contrast between the background color and the
200 text color, which should make them easier to read.
201 - The CSS for hint markers have been improved, making it easier to use custom
202 [Styling].
203 - When several elements have the same area, the best hint is now correctly given
204 to the _first_ of those elements. Previously, it happened to be the other way
205 around.
206 - The hint marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for
207 a larger element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).
208 - Hint markers are now better positioned when having zoomed the page in or out.
209 - Hints mode is now more robust in general. Several race conditions have been
210 fixed.

214
215 #### Other updates
216
217 - Added: The ability to **export, import and reset all** VimFx options. There
218 are three shiny new buttons for this in VimFx’s options page in the Add-ons
219 Manager!
220 - Added: The `gB` command, which lets you **quickly blacklist** (and
221 un-blacklist) sites.
222 - Added: The `ec` command, for opening the context menu of elements.
223 - Added: The `ep` command, for opening links in new private windows.
224 - Improved: `h`, `l`, `j` and `k` now feel more like scrolling with the arrow
225 keys when held down, by boosting the scrolling speed. See the
226 [`scroll.horizontal_boost` and `scroll.vertical_boost`][scroll-boost] options
227 for more information.
228 - Fixed: VimFx’s find bar integration is now much more robust. Most notably, if
229 you start typing directly after pressing `/` and Firefox is slow at opening
230 the find bar, your keypresses can no longer trigger VimFx commands or Firefox
231 built-in commands.
232 - Improved: VimFx no longer leaks keypresses to the web page in some modes. (For
233 example, counts in Caret mode).
234 - Improved: The `eb` command now finds more clickable elements in the devtools.
235 - Changed: `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` no longer lets you easily break for example
236 Hints mode, by now only being applied to Normal mode. You might need to change
237 your matchers from `(location, mode) => ...` to simply `location => ...`.
238 (Breaking API change.)
239 - Changed: The object passed to custom commands (and custom modes) no longer
240 contains a `uiEvent` property. Instead, there’s an `event` property. This
241 property can be used the same way if you check `vim.isUIEvent(event)` first.
242 (Breaking API change.)
243
244 [scroll-boost]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8bafdf0454043c1630bac8b13d13f1fb4e5ee9e7/documentation/options.md#scrollhorizontal_boost-and-scrollvertical_boost
245
246 ### 0.18.1 (2016-08-27)
247
248 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` no longer crashes on startup.
249 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` can now override the `prevent_autofocus`
250 pref again.
251
252 ### 0.18.0 (2016-08-20)
253
254 #### Changed default shortcuts
255
256 Some default keyboard shortcuts have been changed.
257
258 - Hint commands. Many of the old ones were difficult to remember, and there was
259 no space for adding new ones.
260
261 - `gf` → `et` (t as in tab)
262 - `gF` → `ew` (w as in window)
263 - `zf` → `ef` (f as in focus)
264 - `zF` → `eb` (b as in browser)
265 - `zv` → `av` (you actually select _all_ of the element’s text)
266
267 (`f`, `yf`, `af`, `v` and `yv` stay unchanged.)
268
269 There is a longer [explanation of these new defaults][hint-shortcuts] in the
270 documentation.
271
272 - `zr` → `gC`. `zr` was the only shortcut starting with `z`. This frees that key
273 up for other uses.
274
275 - `` ` `` → `'`. The `` ` `` shortcut (“scroll to mark”) as well as the `` ` ``
276 mark (“last position mark”) have both been changed to `'`. Both `` ` `` and
277 `'` are used in Vim. `'` is a better default, because it is easier to
278 type–both on an en-US QWERTY keyboard and, more importantly, on some
279 international layouts, such as the sv-SE QWERTY layout.
280
281 Note: If you miss Firefox’s default `'` shortcut to open the Quick Find bar
282 (which is now overridden), remember that VimFx provides `g/` which does the
283 same thing. (You can of course also change VimFx’s shortcuts.)
284
285 See also issue [#788].

287 [hint-shortcuts]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/e8d9df31dd5c8df999ac22e3b3b8d548a68c6fa7/documentation/commands.md#mnemonics-and-choice-of-default-hint-command-shortcuts
288 [#788]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/issues/788
289
290 #### Other updates
291
292 - Added: It is now possible to create [custom hint commands].
293 - Fixed: The bottom-right corner of the page scrollbars can now be used with the
294 mouse again.
295 - Fixed: The toolbar button now correctly toggles VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts
296 dialog again.
297 - Updated locales: fr, ru. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r) and Nicholas
298 Guriev (@mymedia2)!
299
300 [custom hint commands]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/e8d9df31dd5c8df999ac22e3b3b8d548a68c6fa7/documentation/api.md#custom-hint-commands
301
302 ### 0.17.4 (2016-07-11)
303
304 - Improved: The usage of modifier keys in Hints mode is now shown in VimFx’s
305 Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog. The functionality has been there for a long
306 time, but should now be easier to find. Thanks to our awesome translators,
307 the new help text is already available in most supported locales!
308 - Improved: If you submit a form while still being inside one of its text
309 inputs, that text input is now automatically blurred. This lets you use VimFx
310 commands while waiting for the form to submit without having to press
311 `<escape>` first.
312 - Improved: The `gu` command now works better on some pages, by preserving a
313 trailing slash. Thanks to @sinkuu!
314 - Improved: VimFx now recognizes text areas in the TYPO3 CMS.
315 - Improved: The `<escape>` command and the toolbar button now let you escape
316 back to Normal mode if VimFx ever gets stuck thinking that you are typing in a
317 text input.
318
319 ### 0.17.3 (2016-06-27)
320
321 - Improved: The `zF` command can now open even more dropdown menus of buttons.
322
323 ### 0.17.2 (2016-06-19)
324
325 - Improved: The `zF` command now works with more buttons and is able to open
326 dropdown menus of buttons.
327 - Fixed: The `f` commands now recognize more file upload buttons.
328 - Fixed: Rotating hint markers now works more as expected after having entered a
329 few hint chars.
330 - Fixed: Scrolling now works in SVG documents.
331 - Fixed: Opening links in new tabs in Firefox 50.
332 - Updated locales: pt-BR and ru. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)
333 and Nicholas Guriev (@mymedia2)!
334
335 ### 0.17.1 (2016-06-12)
336
337 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer accidentally double-clicks instead of
338 single-clicking. Thanks to Alan Wu (@XrXr)!
339 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer crashes in Firefox 49+.
340 - Fixed: The “URL popup,” shown when hovering or focusing links, now appears
341 again when focusing links using `zf` (regression since 0.17.0).
342 - Updated locale: it. Thanks to Carlo Bertoldi (@cbertoldi)!
343
344 ### 0.17.0 (2016-06-08)
345
346 - Fixed: VimFx no longer scrolls smaller elements on a page instead of the
347 entire page on some sites.
348 - Improved: The `/`, `n` and `N` have been drastically sped up (when
349 [`find_from_top_of_viewport`][find_from_top_of_viewport-1] is on). Previously,
350 they appeared to freeze on some sites, but not anymore.
351 - Improved: You can no longer accidentally trigger VimFx between pressing `/`
352 and the find bar input being is focused.
353 - Improved: The `n` and `N` commands are now more robust.
354 - Improved: “Fullscreen” buttons and “Copy to clipboard” buttons can now be
355 activated the `f` command. Thanks to Alan Wu (@XrXr)!
356 - Changed: After having pressed `m` or `` ` `` VimFx no longer waits
357 indefinitely for you to press a mark key. Instead, the [timeout] option is
358 honored.
359 - Changed: After having pressed `m` or `` ` `` you can now press `<escape>` to
360 abort those commands.
361 - Changed: Find mode is no longer shown in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
362 dialog, to reduce clutter. (This can be changed through custom
363 [styling][styling-1].)
364 - Changed: The `?` command as well as the toolbar button now _toggle_ VimFx’s
365 Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (instead of always showing it, even if it was
366 already shown.)
367 - Changed: Counts are now ignored in Ignore mode. Previously, pressing number
368 keys would both send those key presses to the page _and_ contribute to the
369 count for commands (showing up in the bottom-right corner). This is no longer
370 the case.
371 - Updated locales: fr, zh-CN and zh-TW. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r),
372 @av2000ii and Robert Wang (@cyberrob)!
373
374 [find_from_top_of_viewport-1]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/288bd3317cbed3a57e42a754099b96efe6c1e38d/documentation/options.md#find_from_top_of_viewport

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

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

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

571 ### 0.12.0 (2016-02-03)
572
573 - Improved: More clickable elements are now recognized. Most notably, elements
574 with click event listeners added by JavaScript now get hints.
575 - Improved: Autofocus prevention after using the `[` and `]` commands.
576 - Added: In VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (which can be opened by
577 pressing `?`) you can now click on any command to open VimFx’s settings page
578 in the Add-ons Manager and automatically select the text input for that
579 command, letting you edit its shortcuts. Tip: Use the `zF` command to click
580 without using the mouse.
581 - Changed: Autofocus is no longer prevented in Firefox internal pages, such as
582 `about:preferences`, `about:addons` and `about:config` (as well as other XUL
583 pages).
584 - Fixed: VimFx and the Beyond Australis extension do not conflict with each
585 other anymore.
586 - Fixed: The `gH` command no longer nags you about “No back/forward history”
587 even though there is.
588 - Added: The `gl` command now takes a [count][gl-count].
589 - Improved: Optimized CPU usage in Hints mode. (See also the [`hints_sleep`]
590 pref.)
591 - Improved: The `H` and `L` commands should now be more reliable in Firefox 43
592 and later.
593 - Changed: There was a tiny breaking change to the Public API, though I doubt it
594 will affect anyone. (See [commit 0ca807605e] if you’re especially interested.)
595 - Improved: _Several_ minor things, and some really nice internal refactoring.
596 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
597
598 [`hints_sleep`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/92b483c4a4f6da0b2c998267e0f01d3d999f93b6/documentation/options.md#hints_sleep

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

672
673 ### 0.9.0 (2015-12-02)
674
675 - Fixed: Links with the `onclick` attribute can now be opened in new tabs again.
676 (Regression since 0.8.0.)
677 - Fixed: The text size in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now
678 correctly resized.
679 - Added: The `gH` command. It opens the back/forward button context menu in the
680 middle of the window, allowing you to choose a history entry with the arrow
681 keys and `<enter>`.
682
683 ### 0.8.0 (2015-12-01)
684
685 - Fixed: VimFx now works properly in tabs moved to other windows.
686 - Fixed: An unreliable check for multi-process mode has been eliminated, fixing
687 various problems for some users.
688 - Fixed: VimFx’s toolbar button now changes color correctly when switching
689 between blacklisted and non-blacklisted tabs.
690 - Fixed: Dead keys now work out of the box on Windows.
691 - Improved: Links with the `onclick` attribute (abused as buttons) can no longer
692 get the same hint as another link.
693 - Added: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (shown by pressing `?`) is now
694 searchable.
695 - Added: The `g/` command. It’s like `/` but searches links only.
696
697 - Added: [Marks].
698
699 - Use `ma` to mark the current scroll position and `` `a `` to return to it.
700 (You may substitute `a` with any key press.)
701 - Use ``` `` ``` to return to the position before the last `gg`, `G`, `0`,
702 `$`, `/`, `n`, `N` or `` ` ``. (You can change this mark using the
703 [`last_scroll_position_mark`] pref.)
704
705 - Added: Window commands.
706
707 - `w`: Open new window.
708 - `W`: Open new private window.
709 - `gw`: Move tab to new window.
710 - `gF`: Follow link in new window.
711

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

778
779 ### 0.6.2 (2015-11-11)
780
781 - Improved: If the entire page isn’t scrollable, the largest scrollable element
782 is scrolled instead.
783 - Fixed: VimFx’s keyboard shortcuts now works on slowly loading pages.
784 - Fixed: Numbers may now be used as shortcut keys (overriding counts).
785 - Fixed: The toolbar button’s icon is now correctly sized in high DPI.
786 - Fixed: Hint markers are now correctly positioned when zooming using the “Zoom
787 text only” option.
788 - Fixed: The `P` command now works with the InstantFox add-on.
789
790 ### 0.6.1 (2015-11-10)
791
792 - Fixed: If you customized the “esc” command before VimFx 0.6.0 it should now
793 work as expected.
794 - Fixed: `<tab>` now works as expected in the location bar and in the dev tools.
795 - Fixed: Light-weight themes can no longer make VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
796 dialog and hint markers unreadable.
797 - Added: The [notifications\_enabled] option.
798

800
801 ### 0.6.0 (2015-11-09)
802
803 ##### Most important (breaking) changes
804
805 - VimFx now works properly with **any keyboard layout.** Users of **multiple
806 layouts** should enable the **[ignore keyboard layout] option.** #249 #259
807
808 - Features related to disabling VimFx, and to the [toolbar button]:
809
810 - **Insert Mode** has been renamed to **_Ignore_ mode.**
811 - **[Blacklisted][blacklist] sites** now **enter Ignore mode automatically,**
812 instead of being specially handled.
813 - The feature to click the toolbar button (or press `<a-V>`) to **disable
814 VimFx** has been **removed.** Use **Ignore mode** (`i`) and the
815 **[blacklist] instead.**
816 - The **toolbar button** is now **red in Ignore mode** (which also means that
817 it is red on blacklisted sites) and green otherwise (never grey anymore).
818 - The toolbar button no longer offers to (un-)blacklist the current domain.
819 (Head into VimFx’s settings page in the Add-ons Manager and add
820 `*currentdomain.com*` to the [blacklist] option yourself instead.)
821
822 (See [commit 3552282] for more information.)
823
824 - **Some default shortcuts have changed,** mostly because they conflicted with
825 standard Firefox shortcuts: #308
826
827 - `<c-J>` → `gJ`
828
829 - `<c-K>` → `gK`
830
831 - `g^` and `gH` → `g0`
832
833 `g^` now selects the first _non pinned_ tab instead, while `g0`
834 selects the first tab regardless of whether it is pinned or not. #317
835
836 - `<c-e>` (alias for `j`) and `<c-y>` (alias for `k`) have been removed.
837
838 - `<c-f>` → `<space>` and `<c-b>` → `<s-space>`
839
840 - `vf` → `zf`
841
842 This frees up `v` for future shortcuts (instead making `z` a
843 “namespace” key, just like in Vim).
844
845 - To **exit Ignore mode:** `<escape>` → `<s-escape>`. This is because Ignore
846 mode has replaced the disable feature, as well as the special blacklist
847 state (see above). Sites are likely to use `<escape>` but not `<s-escape>`.
848 (In a way, this new role of Ignore mode also means that the old (many times
849 broken) shortcut to disable VimFx (`<a-V>`) has been replaced by `i`.) #64
850 \#375 #432
851
852 - VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now help only, and more accessible.
853 To **customize keyboard shortcuts,** go to VimFx’s settings page **in the
854 Add-ons Manager,** just like you would to customize other settings. Also,
855 **commas** between every key are **no longer needed:** Type `gJ` instead of
856 `g,J`.
857
858 - For performance reasons, **Hint markers** are now placed vertically **centered
859 instead of at the top** of the element. Don’t be surprised if you see the same
860 hint repeated several times**—links that go to the same place now get the same
861 hint.** The “Smart hints” option has been removed—hints are _always_ smart
862 now, and a lot smarter than before. Finally, hints now also work in the new
863 tab page, the Add-ons Manager and the preferences page. If you want to, you
864 can read more about [the `f` commands]. \#51 #60 #176 #320 #325 #468 #471 #475
865
866 - The **`F`** command now _always_ opens tabs in new **background** tabs, while
867 **`gf`** has been added to open tabs in new **foreground** tabs. #227 #464
868
869 - **Autofocus prevention** is now **off by default.** One of VimFx’s core
870 philosophies is to be nice to your browser habits. Some find autofocus
871 prevention too big a change. Turn it on again if you like it! By the way,
872 autofocus prevention now works much more reliably and should not cause issues
873 with other extensions. #497 #541
874
875 - The **“Scroll step”** option has been **removed**. The scrolling commands that
876 used it now **work like the arrow keys instead,** and are customized just like
877 them. See [scrolling prefs] for more information.
878
879 - Speaking of scrolling, **which elements scrolls** when you use VimFx’s
880 scrolling commands **has changed.** See [scrolling commands] for more
881 information.
882
883 ##### New features
884
885 - New commands:
886
887 - `gp` pins or unpins the current tab. (Also see `g^` and `g0` mentioned
888 above.) #121
889 - `yt` duplicates the current tab. #121
890 - `0` and `^` scroll to the far left, and `$` scrolls to the far right.
891 - [`gi`] has finally been implemented. #47
892 - [Ignore mode `<s-f1>`] let you run a Normal mode command without exiting
893 Ignore mode.
894
895 - In Hints mode you can now hold ctrl and alt to change behavior of the matched
896 marker. Hold shift to temporarily make the hints see-through. See [the `f`
897 commands] for more information. #220 #421 #484
898
899 - Some commands now accept [counts]. #374
900
901 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that work inside text inputs. See the
902 [`<force>`] key for more information. #258
903
904 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that the page can override. See the
905 [`<late>`] key for more information.
906
907 - A number of [advanced options] have been added. Rather than listing everything
908 regarding them here, follow that link if you’re interested. #452 #489
909
910 - You may now, if you want to, configure VimFx through a [config file], using
911 the new [public API]. Customizing VimFx through a config file also gives extra
912 abilities, such as [site-specific options][option-overrides] and [disabling
913 certain commands on certain sites][key-overrides]. It also allows to add
914 [custom commands] \(and other extensions to extend VimFx). #158 #235 #255 #261
915 \#300 #408 #445 #490 #515
916
917 - It is now easier to customize VimFx through custom [styling]. An example is
918 changing the way hint markers look. #220 #233 #424 #432 #465
919
920 - VimFx now has [documentation] and a [wiki].
921
922 - A few new locales were added:
923
924 - fr. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r)!
925 - pt-BR. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)!
926 - sv-SE. Thanks to Andreas Lindhé (@lindhe)!
927
928 ##### Improvements
929
930 - VimFx is now multi-process/Electrolysis/e10s compatible! This means that you
931 can run VimFx on a version of Firefox with multi-process enabled without
932 issues, and that we’re future proof for the day when Firefox becomes
933 multi-process by default. Best of all, it also made VimFx more reliable in
934 non-multi-process (“regular”) Firefox. #378
935
936 - The `[` and `]` commands are now smarter, recognizing more links to the
937 previous/next page correctly. You may read more about [previous/next page
938 patterns]. #396
939
940 - The `n` and `N` commands now notify you when they wrap around the page, or the
941 phrase you searched for could not be found. #398
942
943 - _All_ shortcuts in _all modes_ can now be customized. For example, this allows
944 you to disable VimFx’s Vim-style `<enter>` behavior in the find bar. #222 #390
945 \#421
946
947 - The `p` and `P` commands are now smarter regarding whether to treat the
948 clipboard contents as a URL or a search, by working exactly like pasting in
949 the location bar. They also now read the selection clipboard, if available.
950 \#353 #382
951
952 - VimFx’s toolbar button is now properly implemented. #303 #349 #383
953
954 - Most locales were updated. Thanks to our awesome [translators]!
955
956 ##### Minor bug fixes
957
958 - VimFx now works correctly in tabs dragged to other windows. #57
959 - The `p` command is no longer broken. #494
960 - Non-ASCII shortcut keys now work properly. #433
961 - The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog can no longer be covered by page elements.
962 \#477
963 - Hint markers can no longer be covered by page elements.
964 - VimFx no longer causes scripts on icloud.com to get stuck in an infinite loop.

990
991 ### 0.5.17 (2015-01-23)
992
993 - Fixed: The hints generation no longer crashes on some pages (regression since
994 version 0.5.15).
995
996 ### 0.5.16 (2015-01-22)
997
998 - Fixed: The toolbar button no longer throws errors. (This fix should have been
999 in 0.5.15 but was forgotten. Luckily an AMO reviewer found it.)
1000
1001 ### 0.5.15 (2015-01-21)
1002
1003 - Improved: This version is now forwards-compatible with the upcoming version
1004 0.6.0. Downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.14 or older might cause VimFx to crash,
1005 but downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.15 is safe.
1006 - Fixed: Non-hintchars key presses in hints mode are now suppressed. They used
1007 to be passed along to the browser, which could confusingly activate site
1008 commands.
1009 - Fixed: The 'f' command now always opens links in the same tab. Links used to
1010 be able to force a new tab or window.
1011 - Fixed: Pressing 'Esc' in the location bar now restores the URL, as is the
1012 default behaviour of Firefox. You may now also close Firefox dialogs using
1013 'Esc'.
1014 - Improved: Updated the de locale. Thanks to Alexander Haeussler!
1015 - Improved: Updated the pl locale. Thanks to morethanoneanimal!
1016
1017 ### 0.5.14 (2014-08-16)
1018
1019 - Fixed: Locales should now work properly.
1020 - Improved: Updated the zh-CN locale (@mozillazg).
1021 - Improved: Updated the de locale (@Kambfhase).
1022 - Added: Japanese locale (@pluser).
1023 - Fixed: If you switched to another tab or window while an `<input>` element
1024 was focused and then switched back, the `<input>` element got blurred, while
1025 it should have stayed focused. This caused the auto-type feature of KeePassX
1026 to break.
1027
1028 ### 0.5.13 (2014-08-02)
1029
1030 - Fixed: The vote button on StackExchange sites are now markable again.
1031 - Improved: Detection of previous/next links. Should work better on gmail now.
1032 - Fixed: It is now possible to use Enter/Return in keyboard shortcuts.
1033 - Improved: The n/N commands (etc.) now work even if you didn’t open the finbar
1034 using the VimFx command (such as the default key binding ctrl+f, or by
1035 clicking a menu item).
1036 - Improved: It is now possible to blur text inputs without sending Esc to the
1037 page, which could cause dialogs etc. to annoyingly close.
1038 - Improved: Updated the el-GR locale (@sirodoht).
1039 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention sometimes made text inputs impossible to focus
1040 until you reloaded the page.
1041 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now works on more sites than before.
1042 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now prevents _all_ automatic focusing (not
1043 just when the page loads). This makes devdocs.io much easier to use.
1044 - Added: When viewing images directly and the image has been resized to fit the
1045 screen the image is now markable, allowing you to toggle zoom on it using the
1046 keyboard.
1047 - Fixed: It is no longer possible to add conflicting shortcuts (such as adding
1048 'a' when 'af' and 'as' are already present).
1049
1050 ### 0.5.12 (2014-06-01)
1051
1052 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention got stuck sometimes, making it impossible to
1053 focus inputs.
1054
1055 ### 0.5.11 (2014-06-01)
1056
1057 - Fixed: The focus search bar command was broken.
1058 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention was broken.
1059 - Fixed: The top bar on YouTube could not be accessed by VimFx.
1060 - Fixed: You can no longer add blank hotkeys.
1061 - Improved: Tab Groups are supported.
1062 - Improved: Matching of previous/next links should be more reliable.
1063 - Improved: A few minor things.
1064
1065 ### 0.5.10 (2014-05-07)
1066
1067 - Fixed yet another bug related to the default preferences
1068
1069 ### 0.5.9 (2014-05-04)
1070
1071 - Fixed a bug with default preferences not being set

1085 - Updated pagination patterns and logic
1086
1087 ### 0.5.5 (2014-01-03)
1088
1089 - Hotfix release to address a bug that has been introduced in 0.5.4
1090
1091 ### 0.5.4 (2014-01-03)
