waterfox 56 fix
[VimFx.git] / CHANGELOG.md
1 ### 0.21.2 (2019-08-15)
2
3 - Fixed: VimFx' settings work on modern Firefox
4 - Fixed: blurring of URL bar in Nightly 70
5 - Fixed: statusbar in Waterfox 56
6
7 ### 0.21.1 (2019-08-03)
8
9 - Fixed: Hints mode and VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog now works in
10 Firefox 69b. The screen used to go white whenever you entered any mode that
11 displays an overlay.
12 - Fixed: The statusbar now works again.
13 - Fixed: VimFx should now work with Nightly 70, by removing usage of the
14 deprecated `Array.filter()` method and others.
15
16 Thanks to Tobias Girstmair (@girst)!
17
18 ### 0.21.0 (2019-05-15)
19
20 - Removed: The Developer Toolbar integration, such as the `:` shortcut. That
21 feature has been removed from Firefox and the integration was causing issues
22 on newer Firefox versions. Thanks to Tobias Girstmair (@girst)!
23 - Fixed: VimFx should now work on Waterfox again. Tested with Waterfox 56,
24 Firefox 56, Firefox 64 and Waterfox 68. Thanks to Tobias Girstmair (@girst)
25 and @matsuhav!
26
27 ### 0.20.15 (2018-08-06)
28
29 - Fixed: Find mode now works properly again. Thanks to @matsuhav!
30
31 ### 0.20.14 (2018-05-15)
32
33 - Fixed: VimFx should now work properly in Firefox 61 (if you have enabled
34 legacy extensions) as well as older versions of Firefox. The latest few
35 versions have been a bit buggy, but things should work better now. Thanks to
36 Kevin Cox (@kevincox) and 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
37
38 ### 0.20.13 (2018-05-06)
39
40 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 61 (if you have enabled legacy
41 extensions). Thanks to Kevin Cox (@kevincox), 依云 (@lilydjwg) and Jan
42 Kokemüller (@jiixyj)!
43
44 ### 0.20.12 (2018-01-23)
45
46 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 59 (if you have enabled legacy
47 extensions). Thanks to Kevin Cox (@kevincox) and 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
48 - Updated locale: es. Thanks to @strel!
49
50 ### 0.20.11 (2017-11-19)
51
52 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 58 (if you have enabled legacy
53 extensions). Thanks to 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
54
55 ### 0.20.10 (2017-03-25)
56
57 - Improved: Autofocus is now prevented when going back in history on pages that
58 use `history.pushState()` (in other words, on the 'popstate' event).
59 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!
60
61 ### 0.20.9 (2017-02-21)
62
63 - Fixed: The `yy` command now works as expected in Reader Mode.
64
65 ### 0.20.8 (2017-01-14)
66
67 - Improved: The scrolling commands now scroll the closest scrollable parent of
68 the currently focused element (if it is not scrollable itself). This is
69 noticeable for Twitter’s modals, which are often scrollable. No longer any
70 need to use the `f` or `ef` commands to scroll those modals!
71
72 ### 0.20.7 (2017-01-07)
73
74 - Improved: The `[` and `]` commands now work in Google search results.
75 - Improved: You can now show the “emoji picker” of the “like” button on Facebook
76 by using the `ef` command.
77 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @interleaved!
78
79 ### 0.20.6 (2016-12-16)
80
81 - Fixed: The `'`, `g[` and `g]` commands no longer crash. (Regression since
82 0.20.5.)
83 - Fixed: The `ef` command can now focus elements in deeply nested frames again.
84 (Regression since 0.19.0.)
85 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` and `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` are now properly
86 undone when reloading a config file (`gC`).
87 - Improved: Hint markers for elements with multiline text no longer cover the
88 text.
89 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @interleaved!
90
91 ### 0.20.5 (2016-12-04)
92
93 - Fixed: Scrolling by holding `d`, `u`, `<space>` or `<s-space>` no longer goes
94 slower and slower (and finally grinding to a halt) on long pages with lots of
95 elements. (See also the [`scroll.repeat_timeout`] pref.)
96 - Improved: All config API functions now validate all their parameters properly.
97 This provides a better user experience, and, most importantly, prevents VimFx
98 from crashing on certain invalid input.
99
100 [`scroll.repeat_timeout`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/58deb3f7b7c470a4d705f1dabf7aa13e095e8d09/documentation/options.md#smooth-scrolling
101
102 ### 0.20.4 (2016-11-16)
103
104 - Fixed: The `n` and `N` commands now work in Firefox’s PDF viewer.
105 - Fixed: The `eb` command can now click the tab bar scroll buttons.
106 - Fixed: Elements marked by the `eb` command now correctly get hints based on
107 their area again.
108 - Improved: The `eb` command now favors the browser tabs and their close
109 buttons, giving them better hints.
110 - Improved: The hints given to the browser tabs by the `eb` command are now
111 consistent no matter how many tabs you have open. This means that the first
112 tab always gets the same hint, the second tab always get the same hint, and so
113 on.
114 - Improved: Hint markers are now placed next to the text of the element if
115 appropriate. For example, the hint marker for a button with centered text is
116 now placed just to the left of the text rather than at the left edge of
117 button. This is nice because it means that hint markers usually end up where
118 you were just reading.
119 - Improved: The positioning of hint markers has been fine-tuned by a pixel or so
120 in some cases.
121 - Improved: Custom styled checkboxes and radio buttons now get hint markers
122 faster (they are now found in the first pass rather than the second).
123 - Improved: Compatibility with the [Tab Center] add-on.
124 - Improved: Blurring the location bar is now more consistent. Previously, its
125 text wasn’t reset if the autocomplete popup was open when you pressed
126 `<escape>` to blur it.
127 - Fixed: An edge case where the wrong hint markers could be highlighted.
128
129 [Tab Center]: https://testpilot.firefox.com/experiments/tab-center/
130
131 ### 0.20.3 (2016-10-22)
132
133 - Improved: Full page scrolling now recognizes the fixed footer on medium.com.
134 - Fixed: Scrollable element can now be focused with the `f` command again (not
135 just with the `ef` command). (Regression since 0.19.0.)
136 - Fixed: `<escape>` is no longer accidentally leaked to the page when used to
137 blur text inputs. This allows blurring text inputs in modals without closing
138 the modal (which `<escape>` commonly does otherwise).
139
140 ### 0.20.2 (2016-10-16)
141
142 - Fixed: Text inputs and links inside frames can now be focused using hint
143 commands again. (Regression since 0.19.0.)
144 - Improved: Previously focused text inputs inside frames no longer steal the
145 focus when entering Caret mode in that frame.
146 - Improved: When several hint markers have the same hint (because their links
147 go to the same place), the _largest_ of those links is now chosen when
148 activating that hint. This might be noticeable via focus styling.
149 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @av2000ii!
150
151 ### 0.20.1 (2016-10-09)
152
153 - Improved: Caret mode is now a bit more robust. It can no longer make you end
154 up with [Firefox’s own Caret mode] accidentally enabled.
155 - Improved: If you try use for example `<ctrl>-j` as a keyboard shortcut, VimFx
156 will now tell you that you probably want `<c-j>` instead.
157 - Fixed: Using a keyboard shortcut to switch keyboard layout in GNOME while
158 inside a text input no longer causes the focus of that text input to be lost
159 when the Prevent autofocus option is enabled.
160 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @av2000ii!
161
162 [Firefox’s own Caret mode]: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Accessibility_features_of_Firefox#Allow_text_to_be_selected_with_the_keyboard
163
164 ### 0.20.0 (2016-10-02)
165
166 - Added: The `g[` and `g]` commands, which let you scroll to previous and next
167 scroll positions of the current page. This is similar to Vim’s jump list.
168 - Added: The `/` mark. Pressing `'/` takes you to the scroll position before the
169 last `/`, `a/` or `g/`.
170 - Fixed: Pressing `''` multiple times in a row now flips back and forth
171 between two scroll positions as expected.
172 - Fixed: Version 0.19.0 claimed to include the following improvement: “The hint
173 marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for a larger
174 element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).” However, a silly
175 mistake caused that improvement not to work. Now it does. For real.
176 - Fixed: All VimFx commands that copy text to the clipboard are now made sure to
177 also copy to the “selection clipboard” (if your system has such a thing). For
178 example, if you copy text using the `yv` command, the `p` command now uses
179 that copied text as expected.
180
181 ### 0.19.1 (2016-09-26)
182
183 - Fixed: The `'` command no longer crashes. (Regression since 0.19.0.)
184
185 ### 0.19.0 (2016-09-25)
186
187 #### Changes and improvements to Hints mode
188
189 **New feature:** Hint markers can now be filtered by element text, similar to
190 Vimium, Vimperator and Pentadactyl. This is useful for people who simply prefer
191 that workflow, and for clicking tiny pagination links (simply type its number!).
192
193 By default, filtering by element text is done by typing _uppercase_ characters
194 (hold down shift!). All characters other than the hint characters are now used
195 to filter hint markers by element text (rather than just being ignored). Do you
196 prefer filtering by element text, but dislike typing uppercase letters? Have a
197 look at how [hint characters] work to make things the other way around!
198
199 The markers with the best hint are now highlighted with a different color. You
200 may at any time press `<enter>` to activate those markers (or `<c-enter>` or
201 `<a-enter>` to change where and how to open links, just like you can hold ctrl
202 or alt for the last hint character).
203
204 Because of the above new features, the following default **Hints mode shortcuts
205 had to be changed:**
206
207 - `<space>` → `<c-space>` (`<s-space>` is left untouched)
208 - `<s->` → `<c-s->` (hold ctrl _and_ shift to peek through hint markers)
209 - `<enter>` → `<up>`
210 - `<c-enter>` → `<c-backspace>`
211
212 To make it easier to see the element text, hint markers are now nudged to the
213 left if they cover the text.
214
215 Other hint marker improvements:
216
217 - Hint markers are now 20% smaller by default. While trying to match text sizes
218 set by your operating system, they ended up a bit too large on most systems.
219 Check out the [Styling] documentation if you’d like to change the font size.
220 - Hint markers now have stronger contrast between the background color and the
221 text color, which should make them easier to read.
222 - The CSS for hint markers have been improved, making it easier to use custom
223 [Styling].
224 - When several elements have the same area, the best hint is now correctly given
225 to the _first_ of those elements. Previously, it happened to be the other way
226 around.
227 - The hint marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for
228 a larger element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).
229 - Hint markers are now better positioned when having zoomed the page in or out.
230 - Hints mode is now more robust in general. Several race conditions have been
231 fixed.

235
236 #### Other updates
237
238 - Added: The ability to **export, import and reset all** VimFx options. There
239 are three shiny new buttons for this in VimFx’s options page in the Add-ons
240 Manager!
241 - Added: The `gB` command, which lets you **quickly blacklist** (and
242 un-blacklist) sites.
243 - Added: The `ec` command, for opening the context menu of elements.
244 - Added: The `ep` command, for opening links in new private windows.
245 - Improved: `h`, `l`, `j` and `k` now feel more like scrolling with the arrow
246 keys when held down, by boosting the scrolling speed. See the
247 [`scroll.horizontal_boost` and `scroll.vertical_boost`][scroll-boost] options
248 for more information.
249 - Fixed: VimFx’s find bar integration is now much more robust. Most notably, if
250 you start typing directly after pressing `/` and Firefox is slow at opening
251 the find bar, your keypresses can no longer trigger VimFx commands or Firefox
252 built-in commands.
253 - Improved: VimFx no longer leaks keypresses to the web page in some modes. (For
254 example, counts in Caret mode).
255 - Improved: The `eb` command now finds more clickable elements in the devtools.
256 - Changed: `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` no longer lets you easily break for example
257 Hints mode, by now only being applied to Normal mode. You might need to change
258 your matchers from `(location, mode) => ...` to simply `location => ...`.
259 (Breaking API change.)
260 - Changed: The object passed to custom commands (and custom modes) no longer
261 contains a `uiEvent` property. Instead, there’s an `event` property. This
262 property can be used the same way if you check `vim.isUIEvent(event)` first.
263 (Breaking API change.)
264
265 [scroll-boost]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8bafdf0454043c1630bac8b13d13f1fb4e5ee9e7/documentation/options.md#scrollhorizontal_boost-and-scrollvertical_boost
266
267 ### 0.18.1 (2016-08-27)
268
269 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` no longer crashes on startup.
270 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` can now override the `prevent_autofocus`
271 pref again.
272
273 ### 0.18.0 (2016-08-20)
274
275 #### Changed default shortcuts
276
277 Some default keyboard shortcuts have been changed.
278
279 - Hint commands. Many of the old ones were difficult to remember, and there was
280 no space for adding new ones.
281
282 - `gf` → `et` (t as in tab)
283 - `gF` → `ew` (w as in window)
284 - `zf` → `ef` (f as in focus)
285 - `zF` → `eb` (b as in browser)
286 - `zv` → `av` (you actually select _all_ of the element’s text)
287
288 (`f`, `yf`, `af`, `v` and `yv` stay unchanged.)
289
290 There is a longer [explanation of these new defaults][hint-shortcuts] in the
291 documentation.
292
293 - `zr` → `gC`. `zr` was the only shortcut starting with `z`. This frees that key
294 up for other uses.
295
296 - `` ` `` → `'`. The `` ` `` shortcut (“scroll to mark”) as well as the `` ` ``
297 mark (“last position mark”) have both been changed to `'`. Both `` ` `` and
298 `'` are used in Vim. `'` is a better default, because it is easier to
299 type–both on an en-US QWERTY keyboard and, more importantly, on some
300 international layouts, such as the sv-SE QWERTY layout.
301
302 Note: If you miss Firefox’s default `'` shortcut to open the Quick Find bar
303 (which is now overridden), remember that VimFx provides `g/` which does the
304 same thing. (You can of course also change VimFx’s shortcuts.)
305
306 See also issue [#788].

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

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

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

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

591
592 ### 0.12.0 (2016-02-03)
593
594 - Improved: More clickable elements are now recognized. Most notably, elements
595 with click event listeners added by JavaScript now get hints.
596 - Improved: Autofocus prevention after using the `[` and `]` commands.
597 - Added: In VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (which can be opened by
598 pressing `?`) you can now click on any command to open VimFx’s settings page
599 in the Add-ons Manager and automatically select the text input for that
600 command, letting you edit its shortcuts. Tip: Use the `zF` command to click
601 without using the mouse.
602 - Changed: Autofocus is no longer prevented in Firefox internal pages, such as
603 `about:preferences`, `about:addons` and `about:config` (as well as other XUL
604 pages).
605 - Fixed: VimFx and the Beyond Australis extension do not conflict with each
606 other anymore.
607 - Fixed: The `gH` command no longer nags you about “No back/forward history”
608 even though there is.
609 - Added: The `gl` command now takes a [count][gl-count].
610 - Improved: Optimized CPU usage in Hints mode. (See also the [`hints_sleep`]
611 pref.)
612 - Improved: The `H` and `L` commands should now be more reliable in Firefox 43
613 and later.
614 - Changed: There was a tiny breaking change to the Public API, though I doubt it
615 will affect anyone. (See [commit 0ca807605e] if you’re especially interested.)
616 - Improved: _Several_ minor things, and some really nice internal refactoring.
617 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
618
619 [`hints_sleep`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/92b483c4a4f6da0b2c998267e0f01d3d999f93b6/documentation/options.md#hints_sleep

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

693
694 ### 0.9.0 (2015-12-02)
695
696 - Fixed: Links with the `onclick` attribute can now be opened in new tabs again.
697 (Regression since 0.8.0.)
698 - Fixed: The text size in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now
699 correctly resized.
700 - Added: The `gH` command. It opens the back/forward button context menu in the
701 middle of the window, allowing you to choose a history entry with the arrow
702 keys and `<enter>`.
703
704 ### 0.8.0 (2015-12-01)
705
706 - Fixed: VimFx now works properly in tabs moved to other windows.
707 - Fixed: An unreliable check for multi-process mode has been eliminated, fixing
708 various problems for some users.
709 - Fixed: VimFx’s toolbar button now changes color correctly when switching
710 between blacklisted and non-blacklisted tabs.
711 - Fixed: Dead keys now work out of the box on Windows.
712 - Improved: Links with the `onclick` attribute (abused as buttons) can no longer
713 get the same hint as another link.
714 - Added: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (shown by pressing `?`) is now
715 searchable.
716 - Added: The `g/` command. It’s like `/` but searches links only.
717
718 - Added: [Marks].
719
720 - Use `ma` to mark the current scroll position and `` `a `` to return to it.
721 (You may substitute `a` with any key press.)
722 - Use ``` `` ``` to return to the position before the last `gg`, `G`, `0`,
723 `$`, `/`, `n`, `N` or `` ` ``. (You can change this mark using the
724 [`last_scroll_position_mark`] pref.)
725
726 - Added: Window commands.
727
728 - `w`: Open new window.
729 - `W`: Open new private window.
730 - `gw`: Move tab to new window.
731 - `gF`: Follow link in new window.
732
733 [Marks]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/47fc699ce8217ee90af4d12e81f102f2bea09d61/documentation/commands.md#marks-m-and-

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

800 ### 0.6.2 (2015-11-11)
801
802 - Improved: If the entire page isn’t scrollable, the largest scrollable element
803 is scrolled instead.
804 - Fixed: VimFx’s keyboard shortcuts now works on slowly loading pages.
805 - Fixed: Numbers may now be used as shortcut keys (overriding counts).
806 - Fixed: The toolbar button’s icon is now correctly sized in high DPI.
807 - Fixed: Hint markers are now correctly positioned when zooming using the “Zoom
808 text only” option.
809 - Fixed: The `P` command now works with the InstantFox add-on.
810
811 ### 0.6.1 (2015-11-10)
812
813 - Fixed: If you customized the “esc” command before VimFx 0.6.0 it should now
814 work as expected.
815 - Fixed: `<tab>` now works as expected in the location bar and in the dev tools.
816 - Fixed: Light-weight themes can no longer make VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
817 dialog and hint markers unreadable.
818 - Added: The [notifications\_enabled] option.
819
820 [notifications\_enabled]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/56c4b7c514ea8b58d2cdcecf3d2654648c48ca31/documentation/options.md#notifications_enabled
821
822 ### 0.6.0 (2015-11-09)
823
824 ##### Most important (breaking) changes
825
826 - VimFx now works properly with **any keyboard layout.** Users of **multiple
827 layouts** should enable the **[ignore keyboard layout] option.** #249 #259
828
829 - Features related to disabling VimFx, and to the [toolbar button]:
830
831 - **Insert Mode** has been renamed to **_Ignore_ mode.**
832 - **[Blacklisted][blacklist] sites** now **enter Ignore mode automatically,**
833 instead of being specially handled.
834 - The feature to click the toolbar button (or press `<a-V>`) to **disable
835 VimFx** has been **removed.** Use **Ignore mode** (`i`) and the
836 **[blacklist] instead.**
837 - The **toolbar button** is now **red in Ignore mode** (which also means that
838 it is red on blacklisted sites) and green otherwise (never grey anymore).
839 - The toolbar button no longer offers to (un-)blacklist the current domain.
840 (Head into VimFx’s settings page in the Add-ons Manager and add
841 `*currentdomain.com*` to the [blacklist] option yourself instead.)
842
843 (See [commit 3552282] for more information.)
844
845 - **Some default shortcuts have changed,** mostly because they conflicted with
846 standard Firefox shortcuts: #308
847
848 - `<c-J>` → `gJ`
849
850 - `<c-K>` → `gK`
851
852 - `g^` and `gH` → `g0`
853
854 `g^` now selects the first _non pinned_ tab instead, while `g0`
855 selects the first tab regardless of whether it is pinned or not. #317
856
857 - `<c-e>` (alias for `j`) and `<c-y>` (alias for `k`) have been removed.
858
859 - `<c-f>` → `<space>` and `<c-b>` → `<s-space>`
860
861 - `vf` → `zf`
862
863 This frees up `v` for future shortcuts (instead making `z` a
864 “namespace” key, just like in Vim).
865
866 - To **exit Ignore mode:** `<escape>` → `<s-escape>`. This is because Ignore
867 mode has replaced the disable feature, as well as the special blacklist
868 state (see above). Sites are likely to use `<escape>` but not `<s-escape>`.
869 (In a way, this new role of Ignore mode also means that the old (many times
870 broken) shortcut to disable VimFx (`<a-V>`) has been replaced by `i`.) #64
871 \#375 #432
872
873 - VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now help only, and more accessible.
874 To **customize keyboard shortcuts,** go to VimFx’s settings page **in the
875 Add-ons Manager,** just like you would to customize other settings. Also,
876 **commas** between every key are **no longer needed:** Type `gJ` instead of
877 `g,J`.
878
879 - For performance reasons, **Hint markers** are now placed vertically **centered
880 instead of at the top** of the element. Don’t be surprised if you see the same
881 hint repeated several times**—links that go to the same place now get the same
882 hint.** The “Smart hints” option has been removed—hints are _always_ smart
883 now, and a lot smarter than before. Finally, hints now also work in the new
884 tab page, the Add-ons Manager and the preferences page. If you want to, you
885 can read more about [the `f` commands]. \#51 #60 #176 #320 #325 #468 #471 #475
886
887 - The **`F`** command now _always_ opens tabs in new **background** tabs, while
888 **`gf`** has been added to open tabs in new **foreground** tabs. #227 #464
889
890 - **Autofocus prevention** is now **off by default.** One of VimFx’s core
891 philosophies is to be nice to your browser habits. Some find autofocus
892 prevention too big a change. Turn it on again if you like it! By the way,
893 autofocus prevention now works much more reliably and should not cause issues
894 with other extensions. #497 #541
895
896 - The **“Scroll step”** option has been **removed**. The scrolling commands that
897 used it now **work like the arrow keys instead,** and are customized just like
898 them. See [scrolling prefs] for more information.
899
900 - Speaking of scrolling, **which elements scrolls** when you use VimFx’s
901 scrolling commands **has changed.** See [scrolling commands] for more
902 information.
903
904 ##### New features
905
906 - New commands:
907
908 - `gp` pins or unpins the current tab. (Also see `g^` and `g0` mentioned
909 above.) #121
910 - `yt` duplicates the current tab. #121
911 - `0` and `^` scroll to the far left, and `$` scrolls to the far right.
912 - [`gi`] has finally been implemented. #47
913 - [Ignore mode `<s-f1>`] let you run a Normal mode command without exiting
914 Ignore mode.
915
916 - In Hints mode you can now hold ctrl and alt to change behavior of the matched
917 marker. Hold shift to temporarily make the hints see-through. See [the `f`
918 commands] for more information. #220 #421 #484
919
920 - Some commands now accept [counts]. #374
921
922 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that work inside text inputs. See the
923 [`<force>`] key for more information. #258
924
925 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that the page can override. See the
926 [`<late>`] key for more information.
927
928 - A number of [advanced options] have been added. Rather than listing everything
929 regarding them here, follow that link if you’re interested. #452 #489
930
931 - You may now, if you want to, configure VimFx through a [config file], using
932 the new [public API]. Customizing VimFx through a config file also gives extra
933 abilities, such as [site-specific options][option-overrides] and [disabling
934 certain commands on certain sites][key-overrides]. It also allows to add
935 [custom commands] \(and other extensions to extend VimFx). #158 #235 #255 #261
936 \#300 #408 #445 #490 #515
937
938 - It is now easier to customize VimFx through custom [styling]. An example is
939 changing the way hint markers look. #220 #233 #424 #432 #465
940
941 - VimFx now has [documentation] and a [wiki].
942
943 - A few new locales were added:
944
945 - fr. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r)!
946 - pt-BR. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)!
947 - sv-SE. Thanks to Andreas Lindhé (@lindhe)!
948
949 ##### Improvements
950
951 - VimFx is now multi-process/Electrolysis/e10s compatible! This means that you
952 can run VimFx on a version of Firefox with multi-process enabled without
953 issues, and that we’re future proof for the day when Firefox becomes
954 multi-process by default. Best of all, it also made VimFx more reliable in
955 non-multi-process (“regular”) Firefox. #378
956
957 - The `[` and `]` commands are now smarter, recognizing more links to the
958 previous/next page correctly. You may read more about [previous/next page
959 patterns]. #396
960
961 - The `n` and `N` commands now notify you when they wrap around the page, or the
962 phrase you searched for could not be found. #398
963
964 - _All_ shortcuts in _all modes_ can now be customized. For example, this allows
965 you to disable VimFx’s Vim-style `<enter>` behavior in the find bar. #222 #390
966 \#421
967
968 - The `p` and `P` commands are now smarter regarding whether to treat the
969 clipboard contents as a URL or a search, by working exactly like pasting in
970 the location bar. They also now read the selection clipboard, if available.
971 \#353 #382
972
973 - VimFx’s toolbar button is now properly implemented. #303 #349 #383
974
975 - Most locales were updated. Thanks to our awesome [translators]!
976
977 ##### Minor bug fixes
978
979 - VimFx now works correctly in tabs dragged to other windows. #57
980 - The `p` command is no longer broken. #494
981 - Non-ASCII shortcut keys now work properly. #433
982 - The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog can no longer be covered by page elements.
983 \#477
984 - Hint markers can no longer be covered by page elements.
985 - VimFx no longer causes scripts on icloud.com to get stuck in an infinite loop.

1011
1012 ### 0.5.17 (2015-01-23)
1013
1014 - Fixed: The hints generation no longer crashes on some pages (regression since
1015 version 0.5.15).
1016
1017 ### 0.5.16 (2015-01-22)
1018
1019 - Fixed: The toolbar button no longer throws errors. (This fix should have been
1020 in 0.5.15 but was forgotten. Luckily an AMO reviewer found it.)
1021
1022 ### 0.5.15 (2015-01-21)
1023
1024 - Improved: This version is now forwards-compatible with the upcoming version
1025 0.6.0. Downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.14 or older might cause VimFx to crash,
1026 but downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.15 is safe.
1027 - Fixed: Non-hintchars key presses in hints mode are now suppressed. They used
1028 to be passed along to the browser, which could confusingly activate site
1029 commands.
1030 - Fixed: The 'f' command now always opens links in the same tab. Links used to
1031 be able to force a new tab or window.
1032 - Fixed: Pressing 'Esc' in the location bar now restores the URL, as is the
1033 default behaviour of Firefox. You may now also close Firefox dialogs using
1034 'Esc'.
1035 - Improved: Updated the de locale. Thanks to Alexander Haeussler!
1036 - Improved: Updated the pl locale. Thanks to morethanoneanimal!
1037
1038 ### 0.5.14 (2014-08-16)
1039
1040 - Fixed: Locales should now work properly.
1041 - Improved: Updated the zh-CN locale (@mozillazg).
1042 - Improved: Updated the de locale (@Kambfhase).
1043 - Added: Japanese locale (@pluser).
1044 - Fixed: If you switched to another tab or window while an `<input>` element
1045 was focused and then switched back, the `<input>` element got blurred, while
1046 it should have stayed focused. This caused the auto-type feature of KeePassX
1047 to break.
1048
1049 ### 0.5.13 (2014-08-02)
1050
1051 - Fixed: The vote button on StackExchange sites are now markable again.
1052 - Improved: Detection of previous/next links. Should work better on gmail now.
1053 - Fixed: It is now possible to use Enter/Return in keyboard shortcuts.
1054 - Improved: The n/N commands (etc.) now work even if you didn’t open the finbar
1055 using the VimFx command (such as the default key binding ctrl+f, or by
1056 clicking a menu item).
1057 - Improved: It is now possible to blur text inputs without sending Esc to the
1058 page, which could cause dialogs etc. to annoyingly close.
1059 - Improved: Updated the el-GR locale (@sirodoht).
1060 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention sometimes made text inputs impossible to focus
1061 until you reloaded the page.
1062 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now works on more sites than before.
1063 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now prevents _all_ automatic focusing (not
1064 just when the page loads). This makes devdocs.io much easier to use.
1065 - Added: When viewing images directly and the image has been resized to fit the
1066 screen the image is now markable, allowing you to toggle zoom on it using the
1067 keyboard.
1068 - Fixed: It is no longer possible to add conflicting shortcuts (such as adding
1069 'a' when 'af' and 'as' are already present).
1070
1071 ### 0.5.12 (2014-06-01)
1072
1073 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention got stuck sometimes, making it impossible to
1074 focus inputs.
1075
1076 ### 0.5.11 (2014-06-01)
1077
1078 - Fixed: The focus search bar command was broken.
1079 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention was broken.
1080 - Fixed: The top bar on YouTube could not be accessed by VimFx.
1081 - Fixed: You can no longer add blank hotkeys.
1082 - Improved: Tab Groups are supported.
1083 - Improved: Matching of previous/next links should be more reliable.
1084 - Improved: A few minor things.
1085
1086 ### 0.5.10 (2014-05-07)
1087
1088 - Fixed yet another bug related to the default preferences
1089
1090 ### 0.5.9 (2014-05-04)
1091
1092 - Fixed a bug with default preferences not being set
1093 - Fixed gg and G to be faster
1094
1095 ### 0.5.8 (2014-04-18)
1096
1097 - AMO Preliminary Review bug fix (sorry for such long delay)
1098
1099 ### 0.5.7 (2014-03-03)
1100
1101 - Bug fix
1102
1103 ### 0.5.6 (2014-02-26)
1104
1105 - Updated some translations
1106 - Updated pagination patterns and logic
1107
1108 ### 0.5.5 (2014-01-03)
1109
1110 - Hotfix release to address a bug that has been introduced in 0.5.4
1111
1112 ### 0.5.4 (2014-01-03)
1113
1114 - Fix for popup passthrough mode stucking

1121 patterns
1122 - Use Firefox 24+ native console API
1123 - Update zh-CN localization
1124

1140 - Added commands to stop loading current page and all pages: `s` and `as`
1141 - Invisible elements will not get hint markers
1142 - Compatibility with Firefox 25
1143 - Simple shortcut customization with UI in Help dialog
1144 - Use Huffman coding algorithm for hint markers generation which results in
1145 shorter links

1147 are used often
1148 - Reimplemented scrolling - now works with pages where window is not scrollable
1149 - Find disabled on non HTML documents
