44 - Fixed: The statusbar now works again.
45 - Fixed: VimFx should now work with Nightly 70, by removing usage of the

47
48 Thanks to Tobias Girstmair (@girst)!
49
50 ### 0.21.0 (2019-05-15)
51
52 - Removed: The Developer Toolbar integration, such as the `:` shortcut. That
53 feature has been removed from Firefox and the integration was causing issues

55 - Fixed: VimFx should now work on Waterfox again. Tested with Waterfox 56,
56 Firefox 56, Firefox 64 and Waterfox 68. Thanks to Tobias Girstmair (@girst)
57 and @matsuhav!
58
59 ### 0.20.15 (2018-08-06)
60
61 - Fixed: Find mode now works properly again. Thanks to @matsuhav!
62
63 ### 0.20.14 (2018-05-15)
64
65 - Fixed: VimFx should now work properly in Firefox 61 (if you have enabled
66 legacy extensions) as well as older versions of Firefox. The latest few
67 versions have been a bit buggy, but things should work better now. Thanks to
68 Kevin Cox (@kevincox) and 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
69
70 ### 0.20.13 (2018-05-06)
71
72 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 61 (if you have enabled legacy
73 extensions). Thanks to Kevin Cox (@kevincox), 依云 (@lilydjwg) and Jan
74 Kokemüller (@jiixyj)!
75
76 ### 0.20.12 (2018-01-23)
77
78 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 59 (if you have enabled legacy
79 extensions). Thanks to Kevin Cox (@kevincox) and 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
80 - Updated locale: es. Thanks to @strel!
81
82 ### 0.20.11 (2017-11-19)
83
84 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 58 (if you have enabled legacy
85 extensions). Thanks to 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
86
87 ### 0.20.10 (2017-03-25)
88
89 - Improved: Autofocus is now prevented when going back in history on pages that
90 use `history.pushState()` (in other words, on the 'popstate' event).
91 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!
92
93 ### 0.20.9 (2017-02-21)
94
95 - Fixed: The `yy` command now works as expected in Reader Mode.
96
97 ### 0.20.8 (2017-01-14)
98
99 - Improved: The scrolling commands now scroll the closest scrollable parent of
100 the currently focused element (if it is not scrollable itself). This is
101 noticeable for Twitter’s modals, which are often scrollable. No longer any
102 need to use the `f` or `ef` commands to scroll those modals!
103
104 ### 0.20.7 (2017-01-07)
105
106 - Improved: The `[` and `]` commands now work in Google search results.
107 - Improved: You can now show the “emoji picker” of the “like” button on Facebook
108 by using the `ef` command.
109 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @interleaved!
110
111 ### 0.20.6 (2016-12-16)
112
113 - Fixed: The `'`, `g[` and `g]` commands no longer crash. (Regression since
114 0.20.5.)
115 - Fixed: The `ef` command can now focus elements in deeply nested frames again.
116 (Regression since 0.19.0.)
117 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` and `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` are now properly
118 undone when reloading a config file (`gC`).
119 - Improved: Hint markers for elements with multiline text no longer cover the
120 text.
121 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @interleaved!
122
123 ### 0.20.5 (2016-12-04)
124
125 - Fixed: Scrolling by holding `d`, `u`, `<space>` or `<s-space>` no longer goes
126 slower and slower (and finally grinding to a halt) on long pages with lots of
127 elements. (See also the [`scroll.repeat_timeout`] pref.)
128 - Improved: All config API functions now validate all their parameters properly.
129 This provides a better user experience, and, most importantly, prevents VimFx
130 from crashing on certain invalid input.
131
132 [`scroll.repeat_timeout`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/58deb3f7b7c470a4d705f1dabf7aa13e095e8d09/documentation/options.md#smooth-scrolling
133
134 ### 0.20.4 (2016-11-16)
135
136 - Fixed: The `n` and `N` commands now work in Firefox’s PDF viewer.
137 - Fixed: The `eb` command can now click the tab bar scroll buttons.
138 - Fixed: Elements marked by the `eb` command now correctly get hints based on
139 their area again.
140 - Improved: The `eb` command now favors the browser tabs and their close
141 buttons, giving them better hints.
142 - Improved: The hints given to the browser tabs by the `eb` command are now
143 consistent no matter how many tabs you have open. This means that the first
144 tab always gets the same hint, the second tab always get the same hint, and so
145 on.
146 - Improved: Hint markers are now placed next to the text of the element if
147 appropriate. For example, the hint marker for a button with centered text is
148 now placed just to the left of the text rather than at the left edge of
149 button. This is nice because it means that hint markers usually end up where
150 you were just reading.
151 - Improved: The positioning of hint markers has been fine-tuned by a pixel or so
152 in some cases.
153 - Improved: Custom styled checkboxes and radio buttons now get hint markers
154 faster (they are now found in the first pass rather than the second).
155 - Improved: Compatibility with the [Tab Center] add-on.
156 - Improved: Blurring the location bar is now more consistent. Previously, its
157 text wasn’t reset if the autocomplete popup was open when you pressed
158 `<escape>` to blur it.
159 - Fixed: An edge case where the wrong hint markers could be highlighted.
160
161 [Tab Center]: https://testpilot.firefox.com/experiments/tab-center/
162
163 ### 0.20.3 (2016-10-22)
164
165 - Improved: Full page scrolling now recognizes the fixed footer on medium.com.
166 - Fixed: Scrollable element can now be focused with the `f` command again (not
167 just with the `ef` command). (Regression since 0.19.0.)
168 - Fixed: `<escape>` is no longer accidentally leaked to the page when used to
169 blur text inputs. This allows blurring text inputs in modals without closing
170 the modal (which `<escape>` commonly does otherwise).
171
172 ### 0.20.2 (2016-10-16)
173
174 - Fixed: Text inputs and links inside frames can now be focused using hint
175 commands again. (Regression since 0.19.0.)
176 - Improved: Previously focused text inputs inside frames no longer steal the
177 focus when entering Caret mode in that frame.
178 - Improved: When several hint markers have the same hint (because their links
179 go to the same place), the _largest_ of those links is now chosen when
180 activating that hint. This might be noticeable via focus styling.
181 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @av2000ii!
182
183 ### 0.20.1 (2016-10-09)
184
185 - Improved: Caret mode is now a bit more robust. It can no longer make you end
186 up with [Firefox’s own Caret mode] accidentally enabled.
187 - Improved: If you try use for example `<ctrl>-j` as a keyboard shortcut, VimFx
188 will now tell you that you probably want `<c-j>` instead.
189 - Fixed: Using a keyboard shortcut to switch keyboard layout in GNOME while
190 inside a text input no longer causes the focus of that text input to be lost
191 when the Prevent autofocus option is enabled.
192 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @av2000ii!
193
194 [Firefox’s own Caret mode]: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Accessibility_features_of_Firefox#Allow_text_to_be_selected_with_the_keyboard
195
196 ### 0.20.0 (2016-10-02)
197
198 - Added: The `g[` and `g]` commands, which let you scroll to previous and next
199 scroll positions of the current page. This is similar to Vim’s jump list.
200 - Added: The `/` mark. Pressing `'/` takes you to the scroll position before the
201 last `/`, `a/` or `g/`.
202 - Fixed: Pressing `''` multiple times in a row now flips back and forth
203 between two scroll positions as expected.
204 - Fixed: Version 0.19.0 claimed to include the following improvement: “The hint
205 marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for a larger
206 element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).” However, a silly
207 mistake caused that improvement not to work. Now it does. For real.
208 - Fixed: All VimFx commands that copy text to the clipboard are now made sure to
209 also copy to the “selection clipboard” (if your system has such a thing). For
210 example, if you copy text using the `yv` command, the `p` command now uses
211 that copied text as expected.
212
213 ### 0.19.1 (2016-09-26)
214
215 - Fixed: The `'` command no longer crashes. (Regression since 0.19.0.)
216
217 ### 0.19.0 (2016-09-25)
218
219 #### Changes and improvements to Hints mode
220
221 **New feature:** Hint markers can now be filtered by element text, similar to
222 Vimium, Vimperator and Pentadactyl. This is useful for people who simply prefer
223 that workflow, and for clicking tiny pagination links (simply type its number!).
224
225 By default, filtering by element text is done by typing _uppercase_ characters
226 (hold down shift!). All characters other than the hint characters are now used
227 to filter hint markers by element text (rather than just being ignored). Do you
228 prefer filtering by element text, but dislike typing uppercase letters? Have a
229 look at how [hint characters] work to make things the other way around!
230
231 The markers with the best hint are now highlighted with a different color. You
232 may at any time press `<enter>` to activate those markers (or `<c-enter>` or
233 `<a-enter>` to change where and how to open links, just like you can hold ctrl
234 or alt for the last hint character).
235
236 Because of the above new features, the following default **Hints mode shortcuts
237 had to be changed:**
238
239 - `<space>` → `<c-space>` (`<s-space>` is left untouched)
240 - `<s->` → `<c-s->` (hold ctrl _and_ shift to peek through hint markers)
241 - `<enter>` → `<up>`
242 - `<c-enter>` → `<c-backspace>`
243
244 To make it easier to see the element text, hint markers are now nudged to the
245 left if they cover the text.
246
247 Other hint marker improvements:
248
249 - Hint markers are now 20% smaller by default. While trying to match text sizes
250 set by your operating system, they ended up a bit too large on most systems.
251 Check out the [Styling] documentation if you’d like to change the font size.
252 - Hint markers now have stronger contrast between the background color and the
253 text color, which should make them easier to read.
254 - The CSS for hint markers have been improved, making it easier to use custom
255 [Styling].
256 - When several elements have the same area, the best hint is now correctly given
257 to the _first_ of those elements. Previously, it happened to be the other way
258 around.
259 - The hint marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for
260 a larger element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).
261 - Hint markers are now better positioned when having zoomed the page in or out.
262 - Hints mode is now more robust in general. Several race conditions have been
263 fixed.

267
268 #### Other updates
269
270 - Added: The ability to **export, import and reset all** VimFx options. There
271 are three shiny new buttons for this in VimFx’s options page in the Add-ons
272 Manager!
273 - Added: The `gB` command, which lets you **quickly blacklist** (and
274 un-blacklist) sites.
275 - Added: The `ec` command, for opening the context menu of elements.
276 - Added: The `ep` command, for opening links in new private windows.
277 - Improved: `h`, `l`, `j` and `k` now feel more like scrolling with the arrow
278 keys when held down, by boosting the scrolling speed. See the
279 [`scroll.horizontal_boost` and `scroll.vertical_boost`][scroll-boost] options
280 for more information.
281 - Fixed: VimFx’s find bar integration is now much more robust. Most notably, if
282 you start typing directly after pressing `/` and Firefox is slow at opening
283 the find bar, your keypresses can no longer trigger VimFx commands or Firefox
284 built-in commands.
285 - Improved: VimFx no longer leaks keypresses to the web page in some modes. (For
286 example, counts in Caret mode).
287 - Improved: The `eb` command now finds more clickable elements in the devtools.
288 - Changed: `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` no longer lets you easily break for example
289 Hints mode, by now only being applied to Normal mode. You might need to change
290 your matchers from `(location, mode) => ...` to simply `location => ...`.
291 (Breaking API change.)
292 - Changed: The object passed to custom commands (and custom modes) no longer
293 contains a `uiEvent` property. Instead, there’s an `event` property. This
294 property can be used the same way if you check `vim.isUIEvent(event)` first.
295 (Breaking API change.)
296
297 [scroll-boost]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8bafdf0454043c1630bac8b13d13f1fb4e5ee9e7/documentation/options.md#scrollhorizontal_boost-and-scrollvertical_boost
298
299 ### 0.18.1 (2016-08-27)
300
301 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` no longer crashes on startup.
302 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` can now override the `prevent_autofocus`
303 pref again.
304
305 ### 0.18.0 (2016-08-20)
306
307 #### Changed default shortcuts
308
309 Some default keyboard shortcuts have been changed.
310
311 - Hint commands. Many of the old ones were difficult to remember, and there was
312 no space for adding new ones.
313
314 - `gf` → `et` (t as in tab)
315 - `gF` → `ew` (w as in window)
316 - `zf` → `ef` (f as in focus)
317 - `zF` → `eb` (b as in browser)
318 - `zv` → `av` (you actually select _all_ of the element’s text)
319
320 (`f`, `yf`, `af`, `v` and `yv` stay unchanged.)
321
322 There is a longer [explanation of these new defaults][hint-shortcuts] in the
323 documentation.
324
325 - `zr` → `gC`. `zr` was the only shortcut starting with `z`. This frees that key
326 up for other uses.
327
328 - `` ` `` → `'`. The `` ` `` shortcut (“scroll to mark”) as well as the `` ` ``
329 mark (“last position mark”) have both been changed to `'`. Both `` ` `` and
330 `'` are used in Vim. `'` is a better default, because it is easier to
331 type–both on an en-US QWERTY keyboard and, more importantly, on some
332 international layouts, such as the sv-SE QWERTY layout.
333
334 Note: If you miss Firefox’s default `'` shortcut to open the Quick Find bar
335 (which is now overridden), remember that VimFx provides `g/` which does the
336 same thing. (You can of course also change VimFx’s shortcuts.)
337
338 See also issue [#788].

341 [#788]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/issues/788
342
343 #### Other updates
344
345 - Added: It is now possible to create [custom hint commands].
346 - Fixed: The bottom-right corner of the page scrollbars can now be used with the
347 mouse again.
348 - Fixed: The toolbar button now correctly toggles VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts
349 dialog again.
350 - Updated locales: fr, ru. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r) and Nicholas
351 Guriev (@mymedia2)!
352
353 [custom hint commands]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/e8d9df31dd5c8df999ac22e3b3b8d548a68c6fa7/documentation/api.md#custom-hint-commands
354
355 ### 0.17.4 (2016-07-11)
356
357 - Improved: The usage of modifier keys in Hints mode is now shown in VimFx’s
358 Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog. The functionality has been there for a long
359 time, but should now be easier to find. Thanks to our awesome translators,
360 the new help text is already available in most supported locales!
361 - Improved: If you submit a form while still being inside one of its text
362 inputs, that text input is now automatically blurred. This lets you use VimFx
363 commands while waiting for the form to submit without having to press
364 `<escape>` first.
365 - Improved: The `gu` command now works better on some pages, by preserving a
366 trailing slash. Thanks to @sinkuu!
367 - Improved: VimFx now recognizes text areas in the TYPO3 CMS.
368 - Improved: The `<escape>` command and the toolbar button now let you escape
369 back to Normal mode if VimFx ever gets stuck thinking that you are typing in a
370 text input.
371
372 ### 0.17.3 (2016-06-27)
373
374 - Improved: The `zF` command can now open even more dropdown menus of buttons.
375
376 ### 0.17.2 (2016-06-19)
377
378 - Improved: The `zF` command now works with more buttons and is able to open
379 dropdown menus of buttons.
380 - Fixed: The `f` commands now recognize more file upload buttons.
381 - Fixed: Rotating hint markers now works more as expected after having entered a
382 few hint chars.
383 - Fixed: Scrolling now works in SVG documents.
384 - Fixed: Opening links in new tabs in Firefox 50.
385 - Updated locales: pt-BR and ru. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)
386 and Nicholas Guriev (@mymedia2)!
387
388 ### 0.17.1 (2016-06-12)
389
390 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer accidentally double-clicks instead of
391 single-clicking. Thanks to Alan Wu (@XrXr)!
392 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer crashes in Firefox 49+.
393 - Fixed: The “URL popup,” shown when hovering or focusing links, now appears
394 again when focusing links using `zf` (regression since 0.17.0).
395 - Updated locale: it. Thanks to Carlo Bertoldi (@cbertoldi)!
396
397 ### 0.17.0 (2016-06-08)
398
399 - Fixed: VimFx no longer scrolls smaller elements on a page instead of the
400 entire page on some sites.
401 - Improved: The `/`, `n` and `N` have been drastically sped up (when
402 [`find_from_top_of_viewport`][find_from_top_of_viewport-1] is on). Previously,
403 they appeared to freeze on some sites, but not anymore.
404 - Improved: You can no longer accidentally trigger VimFx between pressing `/`
405 and the find bar input being is focused.
406 - Improved: The `n` and `N` commands are now more robust.
407 - Improved: “Fullscreen” buttons and “Copy to clipboard” buttons can now be
408 activated the `f` command. Thanks to Alan Wu (@XrXr)!
409 - Changed: After having pressed `m` or `` ` `` VimFx no longer waits
410 indefinitely for you to press a mark key. Instead, the [timeout] option is
411 honored.
412 - Changed: After having pressed `m` or `` ` `` you can now press `<escape>` to
413 abort those commands.
414 - Changed: Find mode is no longer shown in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
415 dialog, to reduce clutter. (This can be changed through custom
416 [styling][styling-1].)
417 - Changed: The `?` command as well as the toolbar button now _toggle_ VimFx’s
418 Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (instead of always showing it, even if it was
419 already shown.)
420 - Changed: Counts are now ignored in Ignore mode. Previously, pressing number
421 keys would both send those key presses to the page _and_ contribute to the
422 count for commands (showing up in the bottom-right corner). This is no longer
423 the case.
424 - Updated locales: fr, zh-CN and zh-TW. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r),
425 @av2000ii and Robert Wang (@cyberrob)!

430
431 ### 0.16.1 (2016-05-29)
432
433 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer crashes (regression since 0.16.0).
434
435 ### 0.16.0 (2016-05-29)
436
437 - Fixed: The text input focus detection problems introduced in 0.15.1, which
438 sometimes caused VimFx commands to be triggered while typing in text inputs,
439 have been fixed.
440 - Improved: If you press `n` or `N` when there are are no matches for your
441 search, the find bar is no longer opened. Only a notification is shown. The
442 reliability of those notifications has also been improved.
443 - Improved: Hints mode now finds more links.
444 - Improved: Pressing `<c-enter>` in Hints mode now includes more elements.
445 - Updated locales: es, zh-CN. Thanks to @strel and @av2000ii!
446
447 ### 0.15.1 (2016-05-22)
448
449 - Improved: Better hints on Twitter.
450 - Improved: Compatibility with the [Evernote Web Clipper] add-on (and
451 potentially other add-ons with similar UI).
452 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!

455
456 ### 0.15.0 (2016-05-18)
457
458 - Improved: Hint markers now appear up to twice as fast on many pages. This is
459 done by creating the hint markers in two phases. Most are created in the
460 first, fast, phase. The rest take the same time as older VimFx versions to
461 show up.
462 - Fixed: VimFx no longer triggers commands while typing in fancy text inputs on
463 some sites, such as when composing a new tweet on Twitter. (See also the
464 [`blur_timeout`] pref.)
465 - Changed: The `<c-enter>` Hints mode command no longer _replaces_ all hint
466 markers on screen (with new ones for all elements on screen). Instead, it
467 _toggles_ your current hint markers with ones for all _other_ elements on
468 screen.
469 - Changed: There was a breaking change to the [`vimfx.setHintMatcher`] function
470 of the `frame.js` config file API. It no longer receives and returns an object
471 (of the shape `{type, semantic}`), but instead simply receives and returns the
472 `type` of the element.
473 - Improved: Some internal robustness refactoring.
474 - Updated locales: de, id, nl and zh-CN. Thanks to @just-barcodes, Yoppy
475 Halilintar (@comepradz), @HJTP, @av2000ii and @mozillazg.

479
480 ### 0.14.3 (2016-05-08)
481
482 - Fixed: Version 0.14.2 attempted to fix smooth scrolling speed in newer Firefox
483 versions. However, there was a tiny typo that caused the fix not to work. That
484 typo has been corrected.
485
486 ### 0.14.2 (2016-05-08)
487
488 - Fixed: Smooth scrolling speed is now correct again in newer Firefox versions.
489 - Fixed: The `yv` Caret mode command now only copies text that you can see on
490 screen (not any hidden text that might be on the page), making it truly work
491 like `zv` followed by `y`, as intended. This problem was very noticeable on
492 Slack. This also improves copying of 'contenteditable' elements using `yf`.
493 - Fixed: `<escape>` and arrow key handling as well as hint markers in the
494 devtools now work correctly again in newer Firefox versions.
495 - Fixed: VimFx no longer makes it impossible to open the Developer Toolbar.
496 - Improved: VimFx now ignores `<numlock>` and `<capslock>`. If your keyboard
497 sends `<numlock>` before some symbols, such as `<numlock>$` instead of just
498 `$`, shortcuts like `gx$` now work out of the box. This also means that you
499 can use `<capslock>` instead of `<shift>` when typing the `J` in `gJ`, for
500 example.
501 - Improved: Some minor cosmetic tweaks in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
502 dialog.
503
504 ### 0.14.1 (2016-04-30)
505
506 - Fixed: The Find commands (such as `/`, `n` and `N`) no longer crash on some
507 sites (regression since 0.14.0).
508
509 ### 0.14.0 (2016-04-29)
510
511 - Added: [Caret mode], which lets you copy text from web pages using the
512 keyboard.
513 - Improved: The Find commands (such as `/`, `n` and `N`) now search from the top
514 of the viewport, instead of from the top of the document, which is more
515 Vim-like and less disorienting. To read more about it (or to return to the
516 Firefox default behavior) please see the [`find_from_top_of_viewport`] pref.
517 - Improved: Compatibility with the [BackTrack Tab History] add-on.
518 - Added: The `<c-enter>` Hints mode command, which creates hint markers for
519 _all_ elements.
520 - Fixed: `__dirname` inside config files now works on Windows. Thanks to
521 Zhong Jianxin (@azuwis)!
522 - Fixed: Unnecessary full-page hint markers on some sites, such as Hackernews,
523 no longer appear.

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

623
624 ### 0.12.0 (2016-02-03)
625
626 - Improved: More clickable elements are now recognized. Most notably, elements
627 with click event listeners added by JavaScript now get hints.
628 - Improved: Autofocus prevention after using the `[` and `]` commands.
629 - Added: In VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (which can be opened by
630 pressing `?`) you can now click on any command to open VimFx’s settings page
631 in the Add-ons Manager and automatically select the text input for that
632 command, letting you edit its shortcuts. Tip: Use the `zF` command to click
633 without using the mouse.
634 - Changed: Autofocus is no longer prevented in Firefox internal pages, such as
635 `about:preferences`, `about:addons` and `about:config` (as well as other XUL
636 pages).
637 - Fixed: VimFx and the Beyond Australis extension do not conflict with each
638 other anymore.
639 - Fixed: The `gH` command no longer nags you about “No back/forward history”
640 even though there is.
641 - Added: The `gl` command now takes a [count][gl-count].
642 - Improved: Optimized CPU usage in Hints mode. (See also the [`hints_sleep`]
643 pref.)
644 - Improved: The `H` and `L` commands should now be more reliable in Firefox 43
645 and later.
646 - Changed: There was a tiny breaking change to the Public API, though I doubt it
647 will affect anyone. (See [commit 0ca807605e] if you’re especially interested.)
648 - Improved: _Several_ minor things, and some really nice internal refactoring.
649 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
650
651 [`hints_sleep`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/92b483c4a4f6da0b2c998267e0f01d3d999f93b6/documentation/options.md#hints_sleep

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

725
726 ### 0.9.0 (2015-12-02)
727
728 - Fixed: Links with the `onclick` attribute can now be opened in new tabs again.
729 (Regression since 0.8.0.)
730 - Fixed: The text size in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now
731 correctly resized.
732 - Added: The `gH` command. It opens the back/forward button context menu in the
733 middle of the window, allowing you to choose a history entry with the arrow
734 keys and `<enter>`.
735
736 ### 0.8.0 (2015-12-01)
737
738 - Fixed: VimFx now works properly in tabs moved to other windows.
739 - Fixed: An unreliable check for multi-process mode has been eliminated, fixing
740 various problems for some users.
741 - Fixed: VimFx’s toolbar button now changes color correctly when switching
742 between blacklisted and non-blacklisted tabs.
743 - Fixed: Dead keys now work out of the box on Windows.
744 - Improved: Links with the `onclick` attribute (abused as buttons) can no longer
745 get the same hint as another link.
746 - Added: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (shown by pressing `?`) is now
747 searchable.
748 - Added: The `g/` command. It’s like `/` but searches links only.
749
750 - Added: [Marks].
751
752 - Use `ma` to mark the current scroll position and `` `a `` to return to it.
753 (You may substitute `a` with any key press.)
754 - Use ``` `` ``` to return to the position before the last `gg`, `G`, `0`,
755 `$`, `/`, `n`, `N` or `` ` ``. (You can change this mark using the
756 [`last_scroll_position_mark`] pref.)
757
758 - Added: Window commands.
759
760 - `w`: Open new window.
761 - `W`: Open new private window.
762 - `gw`: Move tab to new window.
763 - `gF`: Follow link in new window.
764

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

832 ### 0.6.2 (2015-11-11)
833
834 - Improved: If the entire page isn’t scrollable, the largest scrollable element
835 is scrolled instead.
836 - Fixed: VimFx’s keyboard shortcuts now works on slowly loading pages.
837 - Fixed: Numbers may now be used as shortcut keys (overriding counts).
838 - Fixed: The toolbar button’s icon is now correctly sized in high DPI.
839 - Fixed: Hint markers are now correctly positioned when zooming using the “Zoom
840 text only” option.
841 - Fixed: The `P` command now works with the InstantFox add-on.
842
843 ### 0.6.1 (2015-11-10)
844
845 - Fixed: If you customized the “esc” command before VimFx 0.6.0 it should now
846 work as expected.
847 - Fixed: `<tab>` now works as expected in the location bar and in the dev tools.
848 - Fixed: Light-weight themes can no longer make VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
849 dialog and hint markers unreadable.
850 - Added: The [notifications\_enabled] option.
851
852 [notifications\_enabled]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/56c4b7c514ea8b58d2cdcecf3d2654648c48ca31/documentation/options.md#notifications_enabled
853
854 ### 0.6.0 (2015-11-09)
855
856 ##### Most important (breaking) changes
857
858 - VimFx now works properly with **any keyboard layout.** Users of **multiple
859 layouts** should enable the **[ignore keyboard layout] option.** #249 #259
860
861 - Features related to disabling VimFx, and to the [toolbar button]:
862
863 - **Insert Mode** has been renamed to **_Ignore_ mode.**
864 - **[Blacklisted][blacklist] sites** now **enter Ignore mode automatically,**
865 instead of being specially handled.
866 - The feature to click the toolbar button (or press `<a-V>`) to **disable
867 VimFx** has been **removed.** Use **Ignore mode** (`i`) and the
868 **[blacklist] instead.**
869 - The **toolbar button** is now **red in Ignore mode** (which also means that
870 it is red on blacklisted sites) and green otherwise (never grey anymore).
871 - The toolbar button no longer offers to (un-)blacklist the current domain.
872 (Head into VimFx’s settings page in the Add-ons Manager and add
873 `*currentdomain.com*` to the [blacklist] option yourself instead.)
874
875 (See [commit 3552282] for more information.)
876
877 - **Some default shortcuts have changed,** mostly because they conflicted with
878 standard Firefox shortcuts: #308
879
880 - `<c-J>` → `gJ`
881
882 - `<c-K>` → `gK`
883
884 - `g^` and `gH` → `g0`
885
886 `g^` now selects the first _non pinned_ tab instead, while `g0`
887 selects the first tab regardless of whether it is pinned or not. #317
888
889 - `<c-e>` (alias for `j`) and `<c-y>` (alias for `k`) have been removed.
890
891 - `<c-f>` → `<space>` and `<c-b>` → `<s-space>`
892
893 - `vf` → `zf`
894
895 This frees up `v` for future shortcuts (instead making `z` a
896 “namespace” key, just like in Vim).
897
898 - To **exit Ignore mode:** `<escape>` → `<s-escape>`. This is because Ignore
899 mode has replaced the disable feature, as well as the special blacklist
900 state (see above). Sites are likely to use `<escape>` but not `<s-escape>`.
901 (In a way, this new role of Ignore mode also means that the old (many times
902 broken) shortcut to disable VimFx (`<a-V>`) has been replaced by `i`.) #64
903 \#375 #432
904
905 - VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now help only, and more accessible.
906 To **customize keyboard shortcuts,** go to VimFx’s settings page **in the
907 Add-ons Manager,** just like you would to customize other settings. Also,
908 **commas** between every key are **no longer needed:** Type `gJ` instead of
909 `g,J`.
910
911 - For performance reasons, **Hint markers** are now placed vertically **centered
912 instead of at the top** of the element. Don’t be surprised if you see the same
913 hint repeated several times**—links that go to the same place now get the same
914 hint.** The “Smart hints” option has been removed—hints are _always_ smart
915 now, and a lot smarter than before. Finally, hints now also work in the new
916 tab page, the Add-ons Manager and the preferences page. If you want to, you
917 can read more about [the `f` commands]. \#51 #60 #176 #320 #325 #468 #471 #475
918
919 - The **`F`** command now _always_ opens tabs in new **background** tabs, while
920 **`gf`** has been added to open tabs in new **foreground** tabs. #227 #464
921
922 - **Autofocus prevention** is now **off by default.** One of VimFx’s core
923 philosophies is to be nice to your browser habits. Some find autofocus
924 prevention too big a change. Turn it on again if you like it! By the way,
925 autofocus prevention now works much more reliably and should not cause issues
926 with other extensions. #497 #541
927
928 - The **“Scroll step”** option has been **removed**. The scrolling commands that
929 used it now **work like the arrow keys instead,** and are customized just like
930 them. See [scrolling prefs] for more information.
931
932 - Speaking of scrolling, **which elements scrolls** when you use VimFx’s
933 scrolling commands **has changed.** See [scrolling commands] for more
934 information.
935
936 ##### New features
937
938 - New commands:
939
940 - `gp` pins or unpins the current tab. (Also see `g^` and `g0` mentioned
941 above.) #121
942 - `yt` duplicates the current tab. #121
943 - `0` and `^` scroll to the far left, and `$` scrolls to the far right.
944 - [`gi`] has finally been implemented. #47
945 - [Ignore mode `<s-f1>`] let you run a Normal mode command without exiting
946 Ignore mode.
947
948 - In Hints mode you can now hold ctrl and alt to change behavior of the matched
949 marker. Hold shift to temporarily make the hints see-through. See [the `f`
950 commands] for more information. #220 #421 #484
951
952 - Some commands now accept [counts]. #374
953
954 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that work inside text inputs. See the
955 [`<force>`] key for more information. #258
956
957 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that the page can override. See the
958 [`<late>`] key for more information.
959
960 - A number of [advanced options] have been added. Rather than listing everything
961 regarding them here, follow that link if you’re interested. #452 #489
962
963 - You may now, if you want to, configure VimFx through a [config file], using
964 the new [public API]. Customizing VimFx through a config file also gives extra
965 abilities, such as [site-specific options][option-overrides] and [disabling
966 certain commands on certain sites][key-overrides]. It also allows to add
967 [custom commands] \(and other extensions to extend VimFx). #158 #235 #255 #261
968 \#300 #408 #445 #490 #515
969
970 - It is now easier to customize VimFx through custom [styling]. An example is
971 changing the way hint markers look. #220 #233 #424 #432 #465
972
973 - VimFx now has [documentation] and a [wiki].
974
975 - A few new locales were added:
976
977 - fr. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r)!
978 - pt-BR. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)!
979 - sv-SE. Thanks to Andreas Lindhé (@lindhe)!
980
981 ##### Improvements
982
983 - VimFx is now multi-process/Electrolysis/e10s compatible! This means that you
984 can run VimFx on a version of Firefox with multi-process enabled without
985 issues, and that we’re future proof for the day when Firefox becomes
986 multi-process by default. Best of all, it also made VimFx more reliable in
987 non-multi-process (“regular”) Firefox. #378
988
989 - The `[` and `]` commands are now smarter, recognizing more links to the
990 previous/next page correctly. You may read more about [previous/next page
991 patterns]. #396
992
993 - The `n` and `N` commands now notify you when they wrap around the page, or the
994 phrase you searched for could not be found. #398
995
996 - _All_ shortcuts in _all modes_ can now be customized. For example, this allows
997 you to disable VimFx’s Vim-style `<enter>` behavior in the find bar. #222 #390
998 \#421
999
1000 - The `p` and `P` commands are now smarter regarding whether to treat the
1001 clipboard contents as a URL or a search, by working exactly like pasting in
1002 the location bar. They also now read the selection clipboard, if available.
1003 \#353 #382
1004
1005 - VimFx’s toolbar button is now properly implemented. #303 #349 #383
1006
1007 - Most locales were updated. Thanks to our awesome [translators]!
1008
1009 ##### Minor bug fixes
1010
1011 - VimFx now works correctly in tabs dragged to other windows. #57
1012 - The `p` command is no longer broken. #494
1013 - Non-ASCII shortcut keys now work properly. #433
1014 - The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog can no longer be covered by page elements.
1015 \#477
1016 - Hint markers can no longer be covered by page elements.
1017 - VimFx no longer causes scripts on icloud.com to get stuck in an infinite loop.
1018 \#389

1043
1044 ### 0.5.17 (2015-01-23)
1045
1046 - Fixed: The hints generation no longer crashes on some pages (regression since
1047 version 0.5.15).
1048
1049 ### 0.5.16 (2015-01-22)
1050
1051 - Fixed: The toolbar button no longer throws errors. (This fix should have been
1052 in 0.5.15 but was forgotten. Luckily an AMO reviewer found it.)
1053
1054 ### 0.5.15 (2015-01-21)
1055
1056 - Improved: This version is now forwards-compatible with the upcoming version
1057 0.6.0. Downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.14 or older might cause VimFx to crash,
1058 but downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.15 is safe.
1059 - Fixed: Non-hintchars key presses in hints mode are now suppressed. They used
1060 to be passed along to the browser, which could confusingly activate site
1061 commands.
1062 - Fixed: The 'f' command now always opens links in the same tab. Links used to
1063 be able to force a new tab or window.
1064 - Fixed: Pressing 'Esc' in the location bar now restores the URL, as is the
1065 default behaviour of Firefox. You may now also close Firefox dialogs using
1066 'Esc'.
1067 - Improved: Updated the de locale. Thanks to Alexander Haeussler!
1068 - Improved: Updated the pl locale. Thanks to morethanoneanimal!
1069
1070 ### 0.5.14 (2014-08-16)
1071
1072 - Fixed: Locales should now work properly.
1073 - Improved: Updated the zh-CN locale (@mozillazg).
1074 - Improved: Updated the de locale (@Kambfhase).
1075 - Added: Japanese locale (@pluser).
1076 - Fixed: If you switched to another tab or window while an `<input>` element
1077 was focused and then switched back, the `<input>` element got blurred, while
1078 it should have stayed focused. This caused the auto-type feature of KeePassX
1079 to break.
1080
1081 ### 0.5.13 (2014-08-02)
1082
1083 - Fixed: The vote button on StackExchange sites are now markable again.
1084 - Improved: Detection of previous/next links. Should work better on gmail now.
1085 - Fixed: It is now possible to use Enter/Return in keyboard shortcuts.
1086 - Improved: The n/N commands (etc.) now work even if you didn’t open the finbar
1087 using the VimFx command (such as the default key binding ctrl+f, or by
1088 clicking a menu item).
1089 - Improved: It is now possible to blur text inputs without sending Esc to the
1090 page, which could cause dialogs etc. to annoyingly close.
1091 - Improved: Updated the el-GR locale (@sirodoht).
1092 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention sometimes made text inputs impossible to focus
1093 until you reloaded the page.
1094 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now works on more sites than before.
1095 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now prevents _all_ automatic focusing (not
1096 just when the page loads). This makes devdocs.io much easier to use.
1097 - Added: When viewing images directly and the image has been resized to fit the
1098 screen the image is now markable, allowing you to toggle zoom on it using the
1099 keyboard.
1100 - Fixed: It is no longer possible to add conflicting shortcuts (such as adding
1101 'a' when 'af' and 'as' are already present).
1102
1103 ### 0.5.12 (2014-06-01)
1104
1105 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention got stuck sometimes, making it impossible to
1106 focus inputs.
1107
1108 ### 0.5.11 (2014-06-01)
1109
1110 - Fixed: The focus search bar command was broken.
1111 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention was broken.
1112 - Fixed: The top bar on YouTube could not be accessed by VimFx.
1113 - Fixed: You can no longer add blank hotkeys.
1114 - Improved: Tab Groups are supported.
1115 - Improved: Matching of previous/next links should be more reliable.
1116 - Improved: A few minor things.
1117
1118 ### 0.5.10 (2014-05-07)
1119
1120 - Fixed yet another bug related to the default preferences
1121
1122 ### 0.5.9 (2014-05-04)
1123
1124 - Fixed a bug with default preferences not being set
1125 - Fixed gg and G to be faster
1126
1127 ### 0.5.8 (2014-04-18)
1128
1129 - AMO Preliminary Review bug fix (sorry for such long delay)
1130
1131 ### 0.5.7 (2014-03-03)
1132
1133 - Bug fix
1134
1135 ### 0.5.6 (2014-02-26)
1136
1137 - Updated some translations
1138 - Updated pagination patterns and logic
1139
1140 ### 0.5.5 (2014-01-03)
1141
1142 - Hotfix release to address a bug that has been introduced in 0.5.4
1143
1144 ### 0.5.4 (2014-01-03)
1145
1146 - Fix for popup passthrough mode stucking
1147 - Make toolbar button click depend on current mode
1148 - Higher weight markers should not be overlapped
1149 - Refactor find mode to use Firefox native search bar
1150 - Bump minimum required Firefox version to 25
1151 - Added commands to go in the URL path
1152 - Added commands to navigate previous and next links with customizable link
1153 patterns
1154 - Use Firefox 24+ native console API
1155 - Update zh-CN localization
1156
1157 ### 0.5.3 (2013-10-16)
1158
1159 - Lots of refactoring
1160 - Insert mode (`i` command)
1161 - Follow multiple links with `af` command
1162 - Hint marker rotation with `space` while in hints mode
1163
1164 ### 0.5.1 (2013-08-21)
1165
1166 - Fixed regression with stylesheets
1167 - Updated icon
1168
1169 ### 0.5 (2013-08-19)
1170
1171 - Added command to focus search bar: `O`
1172 - Added commands to stop loading current page and all pages: `s` and `as`
1173 - Invisible elements will not get hint markers
1174 - Compatibility with Firefox 25
1175 - Simple shortcut customization with UI in Help dialog
1176 - Use Huffman coding algorithm for hint markers generation which results in
1177 shorter links
1178 - Implemented Bloom filters to achieve shorter hints for those shortcuts that
1179 are used often
1180 - Reimplemented scrolling - now works with pages where window is not scrollable
1181 - Find disabled on non HTML documents
1182 - Find string is now global for all windows.
1183 - Fixed logic of locale discovery. Now we rely on general.useragent.locale
1184 Firefox preference for current locale
1185
1186 ### 0.4.8 (2013-06-12)
1187
1188 - `embed` and `object` tags will now have their own hints
1189 - Bug fixes related to custom hint chars (@LordJZ)
1190 - Fixed `t` - now it will be nice to other extensions
1191 - Updated Chinese translations (@mozillazg)
1192 - Reenter Normal mode on page reloads to avoid getting stuck in Hints mode
1193 without any hints
1194 - Search will focus element that contains matching text
1195 - Fixed hint markers for iframes
