123 Thanks to Tobias Girstmair (@girst)!
124
125 ### 0.21.0 (2019-05-15)
126
127 - Removed: The Developer Toolbar integration, such as the `:` shortcut. That
128 feature has been removed from Firefox and the integration was causing issues
129 on newer Firefox versions. Thanks to Tobias Girstmair (@girst)!
130 - Fixed: VimFx should now work on Waterfox again. Tested with Waterfox 56,
131 Firefox 56, Firefox 64 and Waterfox 68. Thanks to Tobias Girstmair (@girst)
132 and @matsuhav!
133
134 ### 0.20.15 (2018-08-06)
135
136 - Fixed: Find mode now works properly again. Thanks to @matsuhav!
137
138 ### 0.20.14 (2018-05-15)
139
140 - Fixed: VimFx should now work properly in Firefox 61 (if you have enabled
141 legacy extensions) as well as older versions of Firefox. The latest few
142 versions have been a bit buggy, but things should work better now. Thanks to
143 Kevin Cox (@kevincox) and 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
144
145 ### 0.20.13 (2018-05-06)
146
147 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 61 (if you have enabled legacy
148 extensions). Thanks to Kevin Cox (@kevincox), 依云 (@lilydjwg) and Jan
149 Kokemüller (@jiixyj)!
150
151 ### 0.20.12 (2018-01-23)
152
153 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 59 (if you have enabled legacy
154 extensions). Thanks to Kevin Cox (@kevincox) and 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
155 - Updated locale: es. Thanks to @strel!
156
157 ### 0.20.11 (2017-11-19)
158
159 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 58 (if you have enabled legacy
160 extensions). Thanks to 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
161
162 ### 0.20.10 (2017-03-25)
163
164 - Improved: Autofocus is now prevented when going back in history on pages that
165 use `history.pushState()` (in other words, on the 'popstate' event).
166 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!
167
168 ### 0.20.9 (2017-02-21)
169
170 - Fixed: The `yy` command now works as expected in Reader Mode.
171
172 ### 0.20.8 (2017-01-14)
173
174 - Improved: The scrolling commands now scroll the closest scrollable parent of
175 the currently focused element (if it is not scrollable itself). This is
176 noticeable for Twitter’s modals, which are often scrollable. No longer any
177 need to use the `f` or `ef` commands to scroll those modals!
178
179 ### 0.20.7 (2017-01-07)
180
181 - Improved: The `[` and `]` commands now work in Google search results.
182 - Improved: You can now show the “emoji picker” of the “like” button on Facebook
183 by using the `ef` command.
184 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @interleaved!
185
186 ### 0.20.6 (2016-12-16)
187
188 - Fixed: The `'`, `g[` and `g]` commands no longer crash. (Regression since
189 0.20.5.)
190 - Fixed: The `ef` command can now focus elements in deeply nested frames again.
191 (Regression since 0.19.0.)
192 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` and `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` are now properly
193 undone when reloading a config file (`gC`).
194 - Improved: Hint markers for elements with multiline text no longer cover the
195 text.
196 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @interleaved!
197
198 ### 0.20.5 (2016-12-04)
199
200 - Fixed: Scrolling by holding `d`, `u`, `<space>` or `<s-space>` no longer goes
201 slower and slower (and finally grinding to a halt) on long pages with lots of
202 elements. (See also the [`scroll.repeat_timeout`] pref.)
203 - Improved: All config API functions now validate all their parameters properly.
204 This provides a better user experience, and, most importantly, prevents VimFx
205 from crashing on certain invalid input.
206
207 [`scroll.repeat_timeout`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/58deb3f7b7c470a4d705f1dabf7aa13e095e8d09/documentation/options.md#smooth-scrolling
208
209 ### 0.20.4 (2016-11-16)
210
211 - Fixed: The `n` and `N` commands now work in Firefox’s PDF viewer.
212 - Fixed: The `eb` command can now click the tab bar scroll buttons.
213 - Fixed: Elements marked by the `eb` command now correctly get hints based on
214 their area again.
215 - Improved: The `eb` command now favors the browser tabs and their close
216 buttons, giving them better hints.
217 - Improved: The hints given to the browser tabs by the `eb` command are now
218 consistent no matter how many tabs you have open. This means that the first
219 tab always gets the same hint, the second tab always get the same hint, and so
220 on.
221 - Improved: Hint markers are now placed next to the text of the element if
222 appropriate. For example, the hint marker for a button with centered text is
223 now placed just to the left of the text rather than at the left edge of
224 button. This is nice because it means that hint markers usually end up where
225 you were just reading.
226 - Improved: The positioning of hint markers has been fine-tuned by a pixel or so
227 in some cases.
228 - Improved: Custom styled checkboxes and radio buttons now get hint markers
229 faster (they are now found in the first pass rather than the second).
230 - Improved: Compatibility with the [Tab Center] add-on.
231 - Improved: Blurring the location bar is now more consistent. Previously, its
232 text wasn’t reset if the autocomplete popup was open when you pressed
233 `<escape>` to blur it.
234 - Fixed: An edge case where the wrong hint markers could be highlighted.
235
236 [Tab Center]: https://testpilot.firefox.com/experiments/tab-center/
237
238 ### 0.20.3 (2016-10-22)
239
240 - Improved: Full page scrolling now recognizes the fixed footer on medium.com.
241 - Fixed: Scrollable element can now be focused with the `f` command again (not
242 just with the `ef` command). (Regression since 0.19.0.)
243 - Fixed: `<escape>` is no longer accidentally leaked to the page when used to
244 blur text inputs. This allows blurring text inputs in modals without closing
245 the modal (which `<escape>` commonly does otherwise).
246
247 ### 0.20.2 (2016-10-16)
248
249 - Fixed: Text inputs and links inside frames can now be focused using hint
250 commands again. (Regression since 0.19.0.)
251 - Improved: Previously focused text inputs inside frames no longer steal the
252 focus when entering Caret mode in that frame.
253 - Improved: When several hint markers have the same hint (because their links
254 go to the same place), the _largest_ of those links is now chosen when
255 activating that hint. This might be noticeable via focus styling.
256 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @av2000ii!
257
258 ### 0.20.1 (2016-10-09)
259
260 - Improved: Caret mode is now a bit more robust. It can no longer make you end
261 up with [Firefox’s own Caret mode] accidentally enabled.
262 - Improved: If you try use for example `<ctrl>-j` as a keyboard shortcut, VimFx
263 will now tell you that you probably want `<c-j>` instead.
264 - Fixed: Using a keyboard shortcut to switch keyboard layout in GNOME while
265 inside a text input no longer causes the focus of that text input to be lost
266 when the Prevent autofocus option is enabled.
267 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @av2000ii!
268
269 [Firefox’s own Caret mode]: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Accessibility_features_of_Firefox#Allow_text_to_be_selected_with_the_keyboard
270
271 ### 0.20.0 (2016-10-02)
272
273 - Added: The `g[` and `g]` commands, which let you scroll to previous and next
274 scroll positions of the current page. This is similar to Vim’s jump list.
275 - Added: The `/` mark. Pressing `'/` takes you to the scroll position before the
276 last `/`, `a/` or `g/`.
277 - Fixed: Pressing `''` multiple times in a row now flips back and forth
278 between two scroll positions as expected.
279 - Fixed: Version 0.19.0 claimed to include the following improvement: “The hint
280 marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for a larger
281 element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).” However, a silly
282 mistake caused that improvement not to work. Now it does. For real.
283 - Fixed: All VimFx commands that copy text to the clipboard are now made sure to
284 also copy to the “selection clipboard” (if your system has such a thing). For
285 example, if you copy text using the `yv` command, the `p` command now uses
286 that copied text as expected.
287
288 ### 0.19.1 (2016-09-26)
289
290 - Fixed: The `'` command no longer crashes. (Regression since 0.19.0.)
291
292 ### 0.19.0 (2016-09-25)
293
294 #### Changes and improvements to Hints mode
295
296 **New feature:** Hint markers can now be filtered by element text, similar to
297 Vimium, Vimperator and Pentadactyl. This is useful for people who simply prefer
298 that workflow, and for clicking tiny pagination links (simply type its number!).
299
300 By default, filtering by element text is done by typing _uppercase_ characters
301 (hold down shift!). All characters other than the hint characters are now used
302 to filter hint markers by element text (rather than just being ignored). Do you
303 prefer filtering by element text, but dislike typing uppercase letters? Have a
304 look at how [hint characters] work to make things the other way around!
305
306 The markers with the best hint are now highlighted with a different color. You
307 may at any time press `<enter>` to activate those markers (or `<c-enter>` or
308 `<a-enter>` to change where and how to open links, just like you can hold ctrl
309 or alt for the last hint character).
310
311 Because of the above new features, the following default **Hints mode shortcuts
312 had to be changed:**
313
314 - `<space>` → `<c-space>` (`<s-space>` is left untouched)
315 - `<s->` → `<c-s->` (hold ctrl _and_ shift to peek through hint markers)
316 - `<enter>` → `<up>`
317 - `<c-enter>` → `<c-backspace>`
318
319 To make it easier to see the element text, hint markers are now nudged to the
320 left if they cover the text.
321
322 Other hint marker improvements:
323
324 - Hint markers are now 20% smaller by default. While trying to match text sizes
325 set by your operating system, they ended up a bit too large on most systems.
326 Check out the [Styling] documentation if you’d like to change the font size.
327 - Hint markers now have stronger contrast between the background color and the
328 text color, which should make them easier to read.
329 - The CSS for hint markers have been improved, making it easier to use custom
330 [Styling].
331 - When several elements have the same area, the best hint is now correctly given
332 to the _first_ of those elements. Previously, it happened to be the other way
333 around.
334 - The hint marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for
335 a larger element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).
336 - Hint markers are now better positioned when having zoomed the page in or out.
337 - Hints mode is now more robust in general. Several race conditions have been
338 fixed.

342
343 #### Other updates
344
345 - Added: The ability to **export, import and reset all** VimFx options. There
346 are three shiny new buttons for this in VimFx’s options page in the Add-ons
347 Manager!
348 - Added: The `gB` command, which lets you **quickly blacklist** (and
349 un-blacklist) sites.
350 - Added: The `ec` command, for opening the context menu of elements.
351 - Added: The `ep` command, for opening links in new private windows.
352 - Improved: `h`, `l`, `j` and `k` now feel more like scrolling with the arrow
353 keys when held down, by boosting the scrolling speed. See the
354 [`scroll.horizontal_boost` and `scroll.vertical_boost`][scroll-boost] options
355 for more information.
356 - Fixed: VimFx’s find bar integration is now much more robust. Most notably, if
357 you start typing directly after pressing `/` and Firefox is slow at opening
358 the find bar, your keypresses can no longer trigger VimFx commands or Firefox
359 built-in commands.
360 - Improved: VimFx no longer leaks keypresses to the web page in some modes. (For
361 example, counts in Caret mode).
362 - Improved: The `eb` command now finds more clickable elements in the devtools.
363 - Changed: `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` no longer lets you easily break for example
364 Hints mode, by now only being applied to Normal mode. You might need to change
365 your matchers from `(location, mode) => ...` to simply `location => ...`.
366 (Breaking API change.)
367 - Changed: The object passed to custom commands (and custom modes) no longer
368 contains a `uiEvent` property. Instead, there’s an `event` property. This
369 property can be used the same way if you check `vim.isUIEvent(event)` first.
370 (Breaking API change.)
371
372 [scroll-boost]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8bafdf0454043c1630bac8b13d13f1fb4e5ee9e7/documentation/options.md#scrollhorizontal_boost-and-scrollvertical_boost
373
374 ### 0.18.1 (2016-08-27)
375
376 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` no longer crashes on startup.
377 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` can now override the `prevent_autofocus`
378 pref again.
379
380 ### 0.18.0 (2016-08-20)
381
382 #### Changed default shortcuts
383
384 Some default keyboard shortcuts have been changed.
385
386 - Hint commands. Many of the old ones were difficult to remember, and there was
387 no space for adding new ones.
388
389 - `gf` → `et` (t as in tab)
390 - `gF` → `ew` (w as in window)
391 - `zf` → `ef` (f as in focus)
392 - `zF` → `eb` (b as in browser)
393 - `zv` → `av` (you actually select _all_ of the element’s text)
394
395 (`f`, `yf`, `af`, `v` and `yv` stay unchanged.)
396
397 There is a longer [explanation of these new defaults][hint-shortcuts] in the
398 documentation.
399
400 - `zr` → `gC`. `zr` was the only shortcut starting with `z`. This frees that key
401 up for other uses.
402
403 - `` ` `` → `'`. The `` ` `` shortcut (“scroll to mark”) as well as the `` ` ``
404 mark (“last position mark”) have both been changed to `'`. Both `` ` `` and
405 `'` are used in Vim. `'` is a better default, because it is easier to
406 type–both on an en-US QWERTY keyboard and, more importantly, on some
407 international layouts, such as the sv-SE QWERTY layout.
408
409 Note: If you miss Firefox’s default `'` shortcut to open the Quick Find bar
410 (which is now overridden), remember that VimFx provides `g/` which does the
411 same thing. (You can of course also change VimFx’s shortcuts.)
412
413 See also issue [#788].

416 [#788]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/issues/788
417
418 #### Other updates
419
420 - Added: It is now possible to create [custom hint commands].
421 - Fixed: The bottom-right corner of the page scrollbars can now be used with the
422 mouse again.
423 - Fixed: The toolbar button now correctly toggles VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts
424 dialog again.
425 - Updated locales: fr, ru. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r) and Nicholas
426 Guriev (@mymedia2)!
427
428 [custom hint commands]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/e8d9df31dd5c8df999ac22e3b3b8d548a68c6fa7/documentation/api.md#custom-hint-commands
429
430 ### 0.17.4 (2016-07-11)
431
432 - Improved: The usage of modifier keys in Hints mode is now shown in VimFx’s
433 Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog. The functionality has been there for a long
434 time, but should now be easier to find. Thanks to our awesome translators,
435 the new help text is already available in most supported locales!
436 - Improved: If you submit a form while still being inside one of its text
437 inputs, that text input is now automatically blurred. This lets you use VimFx
438 commands while waiting for the form to submit without having to press
439 `<escape>` first.
440 - Improved: The `gu` command now works better on some pages, by preserving a
441 trailing slash. Thanks to @sinkuu!
442 - Improved: VimFx now recognizes text areas in the TYPO3 CMS.
443 - Improved: The `<escape>` command and the toolbar button now let you escape
444 back to Normal mode if VimFx ever gets stuck thinking that you are typing in a
445 text input.
446
447 ### 0.17.3 (2016-06-27)
448
449 - Improved: The `zF` command can now open even more dropdown menus of buttons.
450
451 ### 0.17.2 (2016-06-19)
452
453 - Improved: The `zF` command now works with more buttons and is able to open
454 dropdown menus of buttons.
455 - Fixed: The `f` commands now recognize more file upload buttons.
456 - Fixed: Rotating hint markers now works more as expected after having entered a
457 few hint chars.
458 - Fixed: Scrolling now works in SVG documents.
459 - Fixed: Opening links in new tabs in Firefox 50.
460 - Updated locales: pt-BR and ru. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)
461 and Nicholas Guriev (@mymedia2)!
462
463 ### 0.17.1 (2016-06-12)
464
465 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer accidentally double-clicks instead of
466 single-clicking. Thanks to Alan Wu (@XrXr)!
467 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer crashes in Firefox 49+.
468 - Fixed: The “URL popup,” shown when hovering or focusing links, now appears
469 again when focusing links using `zf` (regression since 0.17.0).
470 - Updated locale: it. Thanks to Carlo Bertoldi (@cbertoldi)!
471
472 ### 0.17.0 (2016-06-08)
473
474 - Fixed: VimFx no longer scrolls smaller elements on a page instead of the
475 entire page on some sites.
476 - Improved: The `/`, `n` and `N` have been drastically sped up (when
477 [`find_from_top_of_viewport`][find_from_top_of_viewport-1] is on). Previously,
478 they appeared to freeze on some sites, but not anymore.
479 - Improved: You can no longer accidentally trigger VimFx between pressing `/`
480 and the find bar input being is focused.
481 - Improved: The `n` and `N` commands are now more robust.
482 - Improved: “Fullscreen” buttons and “Copy to clipboard” buttons can now be
483 activated the `f` command. Thanks to Alan Wu (@XrXr)!
484 - Changed: After having pressed `m` or `` ` `` VimFx no longer waits
485 indefinitely for you to press a mark key. Instead, the [timeout] option is
486 honored.
487 - Changed: After having pressed `m` or `` ` `` you can now press `<escape>` to
488 abort those commands.
489 - Changed: Find mode is no longer shown in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
490 dialog, to reduce clutter. (This can be changed through custom
491 [styling][styling-1].)
492 - Changed: The `?` command as well as the toolbar button now _toggle_ VimFx’s
493 Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (instead of always showing it, even if it was
494 already shown.)
495 - Changed: Counts are now ignored in Ignore mode. Previously, pressing number
496 keys would both send those key presses to the page _and_ contribute to the
497 count for commands (showing up in the bottom-right corner). This is no longer
498 the case.
499 - Updated locales: fr, zh-CN and zh-TW. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r),
500 @av2000ii and Robert Wang (@cyberrob)!

505
506 ### 0.16.1 (2016-05-29)
507
508 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer crashes (regression since 0.16.0).
509
510 ### 0.16.0 (2016-05-29)
511
512 - Fixed: The text input focus detection problems introduced in 0.15.1, which
513 sometimes caused VimFx commands to be triggered while typing in text inputs,
514 have been fixed.
515 - Improved: If you press `n` or `N` when there are are no matches for your
516 search, the find bar is no longer opened. Only a notification is shown. The
517 reliability of those notifications has also been improved.
518 - Improved: Hints mode now finds more links.
519 - Improved: Pressing `<c-enter>` in Hints mode now includes more elements.
520 - Updated locales: es, zh-CN. Thanks to @strel and @av2000ii!
521
522 ### 0.15.1 (2016-05-22)
523
524 - Improved: Better hints on Twitter.
525 - Improved: Compatibility with the [Evernote Web Clipper] add-on (and
526 potentially other add-ons with similar UI).
527 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!
528
529 [Evernote Web Clipper]: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/evernote-web-clipper/
530
531 ### 0.15.0 (2016-05-18)
532
533 - Improved: Hint markers now appear up to twice as fast on many pages. This is
534 done by creating the hint markers in two phases. Most are created in the
535 first, fast, phase. The rest take the same time as older VimFx versions to
536 show up.
537 - Fixed: VimFx no longer triggers commands while typing in fancy text inputs on
538 some sites, such as when composing a new tweet on Twitter. (See also the
539 [`blur_timeout`] pref.)
540 - Changed: The `<c-enter>` Hints mode command no longer _replaces_ all hint
541 markers on screen (with new ones for all elements on screen). Instead, it
542 _toggles_ your current hint markers with ones for all _other_ elements on
543 screen.
544 - Changed: There was a breaking change to the [`vimfx.setHintMatcher`] function
545 of the `frame.js` config file API. It no longer receives and returns an object
546 (of the shape `{type, semantic}`), but instead simply receives and returns the
547 `type` of the element.
548 - Improved: Some internal robustness refactoring.
549 - Updated locales: de, id, nl and zh-CN. Thanks to @just-barcodes, Yoppy
550 Halilintar (@comepradz), @HJTP, @av2000ii and @mozillazg.

554
555 ### 0.14.3 (2016-05-08)
556
557 - Fixed: Version 0.14.2 attempted to fix smooth scrolling speed in newer Firefox
558 versions. However, there was a tiny typo that caused the fix not to work. That
559 typo has been corrected.
560
561 ### 0.14.2 (2016-05-08)
562
563 - Fixed: Smooth scrolling speed is now correct again in newer Firefox versions.
564 - Fixed: The `yv` Caret mode command now only copies text that you can see on
565 screen (not any hidden text that might be on the page), making it truly work
566 like `zv` followed by `y`, as intended. This problem was very noticeable on
567 Slack. This also improves copying of 'contenteditable' elements using `yf`.
568 - Fixed: `<escape>` and arrow key handling as well as hint markers in the
569 devtools now work correctly again in newer Firefox versions.
570 - Fixed: VimFx no longer makes it impossible to open the Developer Toolbar.
571 - Improved: VimFx now ignores `<numlock>` and `<capslock>`. If your keyboard
572 sends `<numlock>` before some symbols, such as `<numlock>$` instead of just
573 `$`, shortcuts like `gx$` now work out of the box. This also means that you
574 can use `<capslock>` instead of `<shift>` when typing the `J` in `gJ`, for
575 example.
576 - Improved: Some minor cosmetic tweaks in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
577 dialog.
578
579 ### 0.14.1 (2016-04-30)
580
581 - Fixed: The Find commands (such as `/`, `n` and `N`) no longer crash on some
582 sites (regression since 0.14.0).
583
584 ### 0.14.0 (2016-04-29)
585
586 - Added: [Caret mode], which lets you copy text from web pages using the
587 keyboard.
588 - Improved: The Find commands (such as `/`, `n` and `N`) now search from the top
589 of the viewport, instead of from the top of the document, which is more
590 Vim-like and less disorienting. To read more about it (or to return to the
591 Firefox default behavior) please see the [`find_from_top_of_viewport`] pref.
592 - Improved: Compatibility with the [BackTrack Tab History] add-on.
593 - Added: The `<c-enter>` Hints mode command, which creates hint markers for
594 _all_ elements.
595 - Fixed: `__dirname` inside config files now works on Windows. Thanks to
596 Zhong Jianxin (@azuwis)!
597 - Fixed: Unnecessary full-page hint markers on some sites, such as Hackernews,
598 no longer appear.

602 [BackTrack Tab History]: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backtrack-tab-history/
603
604 ### 0.13.2 (2016-04-08)
605
606 - Improved: The “last position mark” `` ` `` now works more reliably.
607 - Improved: More video players are now recognized. Many video players lets you
608 press `<space>` while focused to toggle play/pause. VimFx tries to detect if
609 the currently focused element is a video player. If so, `<space>` is passed to
610 the video player instead of scrolling the page. (For those interested, see
611 also the [`adjustable_element_keys`] pref.)
612
613 [`adjustable_element_keys`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/645e35d7d82019b0551534c43926bc126e7105bd/documentation/options.md#adjustable_element_keys
614
615 ### 0.13.1 (2016-04-01)
616
617 - Fixed: Blacklisting of some XUL pages.
618 - Fixed: The current mode is no longer lost when a page loads. For example, if
619 you press `zF` while a page is loading, the markers no longer disappear.
620 - Fixed: Elements that you have focused using an `f` command no longer get stuck
621 appearing as if you’d put the mouse pointer.
622 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @mozillazg!
623
624 ### 0.13.0 (2016-03-19)
625
626 - Added: The `T` command, which opens a new tab after the current.
627 - Changed: The `gl` command now deals with _visited_ tabs only.
628 - Added: The [`gL`] command, which deals with <em>un</em>visited tabs only, in
629 oldest-first order. Use this to step through your unvisited background tabs in
630 the order you opened them (for example using the `F` command).
631 - Improved: The `gi` command no longer tries to focus the last focused text
632 input if it has been removed from the page. If so, it finds a new one instead.
633 - Fixed: You can now type in sidebar text inputs (such as in the history
634 sidebar) without having to switch to Ignore mode.
635 - Changed: If you enter Ignore mode you will now stay in Ignore mode in that tab
636 until you explicitly exit it (by pressing `<s-escape>`), even if you reload
637 the page or follow a link. If Ignore mode was entered automatically because of
638 the [blacklist][blacklist-2], though, you will be automatically returned to
639 Normal mode if
640 the URL changes to a non-blacklisted page.
641 - Added: VimFx can now automatically enter and exit Ignore mode based on the
642 currently focused element. Currently, the [wasavi] extension as well as
643 [CodeMirror] in Vim mode are detected. Both of those provide Vim-style
644 editors. This allows sending `<escape>` to those editors in order to exit
645 their Insert mode, without blurring the editor.
646 - Improved: CodeMirror editors now get better hints, keeping the cursor where
647 you left it.
648 - Improved: The [blacklist][blacklist-2] is now applied faster on some pages.
649 - Improved: Many audio and video elements are now recognized as “adjustable”,
650 allowing you to press for example `<space>` on them to toggle play/pause,
651 without scrolling the page.
652 - Improved: Scrolling by pages, such as using the `<space>` command, now takes
653 fixed heaears and footers into account, just like Firefox does.
654 - Fixed: Access keys now work correctly in context menus in the devtools and
655 `about:config`.
656 - Improved: The arrow keys now Just Work in the devtools, even if you have bound
657 them to VimFx commands.
658 - Changed: The public API has been removed, and turned into the Config file API.
659 If you were already using a config file, it will no longer work. You need to
660 set up a new one, but you should be able to simply copy and paste the contents
661 of the old one into the new one. Read the [config file] documentation for more
662 information.
663 - Changed: There are a few minor breaking changes to the API, though I doubt it
664 will affect anyone.
665 - If you use [`vimfx.on`], you probably need to adjust the arguments of the
666 your callbacks. They are now _always_ passed an object of data, instead of
667 sometimes passing the data directly.
668 - `match.focus` of [match object]s has been removed, and replaced by
669 `vim.focusType` of [vim object]s.
670 - Fixed: The toolbar button’s icon is now correctly sized when setting
671 `layout.css.devPixelsPerPx` to `2`. Thanks to Robert Ma (@Hexcles) and Dale
672 Whinham (@dwhinham)!
673 - Fixed: Find commands now work when the find bar was opened before the page had
674 finished loading.
675 - Improved: Lots of internal improvements. This should make VimFx faster, more
676 reliable and more responsive.
677 - All keyboard event handling (except `<late>` shortcuts) are now handled in
678 the UI process, instead of mostly in each tab’s web page content process.
679 This should make VimFx’s shortcuts more reliable and responsive.
680 - Removed all synchronous message passing (execpt for `<late>` keypresses).
681 Mozilla recommends using them only where absolutely necessary. Turns out
682 VimFx doesn’t need them anymore!
683 - The `f` commands are now more reliable. Before, they could crash on rare
684 occasions (on certain web pages), but that is less likely now.
685 - Less `MutationObserver`s are now used. This should improve performance.
686 - Less uncaught errors (especially on shutdown).
687 - Lots of minor improvements.
688 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!

699 ### 0.12.0 (2016-02-03)
700
701 - Improved: More clickable elements are now recognized. Most notably, elements
702 with click event listeners added by JavaScript now get hints.
703 - Improved: Autofocus prevention after using the `[` and `]` commands.
704 - Added: In VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (which can be opened by
705 pressing `?`) you can now click on any command to open VimFx’s settings page
706 in the Add-ons Manager and automatically select the text input for that
707 command, letting you edit its shortcuts. Tip: Use the `zF` command to click
708 without using the mouse.
709 - Changed: Autofocus is no longer prevented in Firefox internal pages, such as
710 `about:preferences`, `about:addons` and `about:config` (as well as other XUL
711 pages).
712 - Fixed: VimFx and the Beyond Australis extension do not conflict with each
713 other anymore.
714 - Fixed: The `gH` command no longer nags you about “No back/forward history”
715 even though there is.
716 - Added: The `gl` command now takes a [count][gl-count].
717 - Improved: Optimized CPU usage in Hints mode. (See also the [`hints_sleep`]
718 pref.)
719 - Improved: The `H` and `L` commands should now be more reliable in Firefox 43
720 and later.
721 - Changed: There was a tiny breaking change to the Public API, though I doubt it
722 will affect anyone. (See [commit 0ca807605e] if you’re especially interested.)
723 - Improved: _Several_ minor things, and some really nice internal refactoring.
724 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
725
726 [`hints_sleep`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/92b483c4a4f6da0b2c998267e0f01d3d999f93b6/documentation/options.md#hints_sleep

729
730 ### 0.11.0 (2016-01-15)
731
732 - Fixed: The `` ` `` command is no longer broken.
733 - Fixed: Memory leak.
734 - Added: The `gl` command, which takes you to the most recent tab.
735 - Improved: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now scrollable using VimFx’s
736 scrolling commands. To allow for this, the search field is no longer
737 autofocused. Instead, press `/` to open it.
738 - Improved: Using the `f` commands, such as `f` and `zf`, now works like
739 actually moving your mouse onto the link, making hover menus and such-like
740 appear.
741 - Improved: VimFx should now work better with Google Drive Documents, Etherpad
742 and a few other fancy text editors.
743 - Improved: The `]` command now works on google.com.
744 - Improved: Checkboxes and menu items on gmail.com are now given hints by the
745 `f` command.
746 - Improved: The `gi` command now also recognizes 'contenteditable' elements.
747 - Improved: Hint markers now move along together with their elements.
748 - Fixed: Hint markers should now be correctly positioned when zooming.
749 - Fixed: The toolbar button icon should now look correctly on Retina screens.
750 - Added: You may now disable counts by using toggling the [`counts_enabled`]
751 pref.
752 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
753 - Improved: Several minor things.
754
755 [`counts_enabled`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8dae7aec9008595da31b939d5ae2d239849cf6dc/documentation/options.md#counts_enabled
756
757 ### 0.10.0 (2015-12-09)
758
759 - Added: The `zF` command, which lets you click browser elements.
760 - Improved: The scrolling commands can now scroll browser elements (in other
761 words, not only web page content), by first selecting the scollable element
762 using `zF`.
763 - Added: The `gr` command, which toggles [Reader View].
764 - Added: The `gX` command, which opens the Recently Closed Tabs menu at the
765 middle of the screen.
766 - Added: The keys you’ve typed so far of a command, as well the count, are now
767 shown in a [notification]. (You may disable this using the
768 [`notify_entered_keys`] pref.)
769 - Improved: When commands don’t do anything, they show a [notification] instead,
770 letting you know that you actually pressed the right keys. For example, if you
771 press `f` but there are no markable elements visible, a notification is shown
772 telling you so, instead of silently doing nothing.
773 - Improved: `<space>` now scrolls _about a line less_ than a full page, just
774 like Firefox does by default. `d` scroll about _half_ a line less (by
775 default), so that pressing `d` twice works like pressing `<space>` once. (See
776 the [`scroll.full_page_adjustment` and `scroll.half_page_adjustment`] prefs
777 for more information.)
778 - Improved: `gi` now only selects all text in its text input if you haven’t
779 focused a text input yet (allowing you to easily replace pre-filled text),
780 instead of _always_ doing so. Otherwise, it now puts the cursor where you left
781 off typing the last time.
782 - Fixed: The `f` commands now put the cursor where you left off typing the last
783 time when focusing a text input. Previously, they accidentally selected all
784 text in the text input (use `zf` for that behavior).
785 - Fixed: Yet a scrolling fix. VimFx’s scrolling commands should now “just work”
786 on even more sites.
787 - Fixed: AltGr should now work out of the box on Windows. (See the
788 [`ignore_ctrl_alt`] pref for more information.)
789 - Removed: The el-GR, hu and pl locales were sadly too out of date to be useful,
790 and nobody has shown interest in updating them, so they were removed.
791 - Updated locales: id, de and zh-CN. Thanks to Yoppy Halilintar, @just-barcodes
792 and @mozillazg!
793 - Fixed: Several tiny bugs.

800
801 ### 0.9.0 (2015-12-02)
802
803 - Fixed: Links with the `onclick` attribute can now be opened in new tabs again.
804 (Regression since 0.8.0.)
805 - Fixed: The text size in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now
806 correctly resized.
807 - Added: The `gH` command. It opens the back/forward button context menu in the
808 middle of the window, allowing you to choose a history entry with the arrow
809 keys and `<enter>`.
810
811 ### 0.8.0 (2015-12-01)
812
813 - Fixed: VimFx now works properly in tabs moved to other windows.
814 - Fixed: An unreliable check for multi-process mode has been eliminated, fixing
815 various problems for some users.
816 - Fixed: VimFx’s toolbar button now changes color correctly when switching
817 between blacklisted and non-blacklisted tabs.
818 - Fixed: Dead keys now work out of the box on Windows.
819 - Improved: Links with the `onclick` attribute (abused as buttons) can no longer
820 get the same hint as another link.
821 - Added: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (shown by pressing `?`) is now
822 searchable.
823 - Added: The `g/` command. It’s like `/` but searches links only.
824
825 - Added: [Marks].
826
827 - Use `ma` to mark the current scroll position and `` `a `` to return to it.
828 (You may substitute `a` with any key press.)
829 - Use ``` `` ``` to return to the position before the last `gg`, `G`, `0`,
830 `$`, `/`, `n`, `N` or `` ` ``. (You can change this mark using the
831 [`last_scroll_position_mark`] pref.)
832
833 - Added: Window commands.
834
835 - `w`: Open new window.
836 - `W`: Open new private window.
837 - `gw`: Move tab to new window.
838 - `gF`: Follow link in new window.

842
843 ### 0.7.3 (2015-11-22)
844
845 - Fixed: Scrolling now works correctly in pages in quirks mode (lacking a
846 doctype), such as Hackernews.
847 - Improved: The largest scrollable element is now detected better in frames.
848 - Fixed: Hints mode now exits correctly when focusing a text input using `af`,
849 or `f` with a count.
850
851 ### 0.7.2 (2015-11-21)
852
853 - Fixed: The blinking text caret now always appears correctly when focusing text
854 inputs.
855
856 ### 0.7.1 (2015-11-21)
857
858 - Fixed: The scrolling commands should now “just work” when using non-default
859 zoom or DPI settings, most notably on Google Groups.
860
861 ### 0.7.0 (2015-11-19)
862
863 - Changed: Instead of using system notifications, which turned out to be a bit
864 too intrusive, [notifications] are now similar to the “URL popup” (shown when
865 hovering or focusing links) but are placed on the opposite side,.
866 - Changed: The “Focus next element” and “Focus previous element” commands have
867 been removed. The reason they existed was to let `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` only
868 cycle between text inputs (as opposed to _all_ focusable elements) after
869 you’ve pressed `gi`. Now, `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` are handled specially instead,
870 and _only_ after pressing `gi`. The reason for this change is that the now
871 removed commands were too intrusive, breaking user habits. One of VimFx’s main
872 goal is _not_ to do that. (You can turn the special handling of `<tab>` and
873 `<s-tab>` off using the the new [`focus_previous_key` and `focus_next_key`]
874 prefs.)
875 - Fixed: The scrolling commands should now “just work” in a lot more situations,
876 most notably on Gmail and Google Groups. More scrollable elements are also
877 recognized by the `f` and `zf` commands.
878 - Improved: The right border of hint markers for scrollable elements is now
879 styled to remind of a scroll bar, making them easier to recognize among hints
880 for links.
881 - Improved/Changed: `J` and `gJ` now allow a count on the first tab.
882 Consequently, `K` and `gK` now allow a count on the _last_ tab.
883 - Changed: `gJ` and `gK` can no longer be used to pin or unpin tabs. They now
884 only wrap around tabs of the same pinned state. Use `gp` to toggle between
885 pinned and non-pinned.
886 - Fixed: Many elements that got a hint before VimFx 0.6.0 now do again.
887 - Improved: Comment fields on Facebook can now be focused using `f` and blurred
888 using `<escape>`.
889 - Improved: VimFx’s toolbar button is no greyed out when you focus a text input.
890 This is to show that your key presses will be passed into the text input
891 rather than activating VimFx commands.
892 - Added: [`g0`, `g^` and `g$` now accept counts][tab-index-counts], allowing you
893 to go to tab number _count._
894 - Improved: `gi` now finds text inputs inside frames.
895 - Fixed: “gi mode” is now exited properly when blurring a text input.
896 - Fixed: `<select>` elements are no longer considered to be text inputs when
897 using `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` in “gi mode.”
898 - Fixed: Using `<force>` or `<late>` in a shortcut no longer applies to _every_
899 shortcut for the command, but only that shortcut.
900 - Fixed: The order of the Previous/Next page patterns is now respected. This
901 caused the wrong link to be picked by the `[` and `]` commands on some pages.

906
907 ### 0.6.2 (2015-11-11)
908
909 - Improved: If the entire page isn’t scrollable, the largest scrollable element
910 is scrolled instead.
911 - Fixed: VimFx’s keyboard shortcuts now works on slowly loading pages.
912 - Fixed: Numbers may now be used as shortcut keys (overriding counts).
913 - Fixed: The toolbar button’s icon is now correctly sized in high DPI.
914 - Fixed: Hint markers are now correctly positioned when zooming using the “Zoom
915 text only” option.
916 - Fixed: The `P` command now works with the InstantFox add-on.
917
918 ### 0.6.1 (2015-11-10)
919
920 - Fixed: If you customized the “esc” command before VimFx 0.6.0 it should now
921 work as expected.
922 - Fixed: `<tab>` now works as expected in the location bar and in the dev tools.
923 - Fixed: Light-weight themes can no longer make VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
924 dialog and hint markers unreadable.
925 - Added: The [notifications\_enabled] option.
926
927 [notifications\_enabled]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/56c4b7c514ea8b58d2cdcecf3d2654648c48ca31/documentation/options.md#notifications_enabled
928
929 ### 0.6.0 (2015-11-09)
930
931 ##### Most important (breaking) changes
932
933 - VimFx now works properly with **any keyboard layout.** Users of **multiple
934 layouts** should enable the **[ignore keyboard layout] option.** #249 #259
935
936 - Features related to disabling VimFx, and to the [toolbar button]:
937
938 - **Insert Mode** has been renamed to **_Ignore_ mode.**
939 - **[Blacklisted][blacklist] sites** now **enter Ignore mode automatically,**
940 instead of being specially handled.
941 - The feature to click the toolbar button (or press `<a-V>`) to **disable
942 VimFx** has been **removed.** Use **Ignore mode** (`i`) and the
943 **[blacklist] instead.**
944 - The **toolbar button** is now **red in Ignore mode** (which also means that
945 it is red on blacklisted sites) and green otherwise (never grey anymore).
946 - The toolbar button no longer offers to (un-)blacklist the current domain.
947 (Head into VimFx’s settings page in the Add-ons Manager and add
948 `*currentdomain.com*` to the [blacklist] option yourself instead.)
949
950 (See [commit 3552282] for more information.)
951
952 - **Some default shortcuts have changed,** mostly because they conflicted with
953 standard Firefox shortcuts: #308
954
955 - `<c-J>` → `gJ`
956
957 - `<c-K>` → `gK`
958
959 - `g^` and `gH` → `g0`
960
961 `g^` now selects the first _non pinned_ tab instead, while `g0`
962 selects the first tab regardless of whether it is pinned or not. #317
963
964 - `<c-e>` (alias for `j`) and `<c-y>` (alias for `k`) have been removed.
965
966 - `<c-f>` → `<space>` and `<c-b>` → `<s-space>`
967
968 - `vf` → `zf`
969
970 This frees up `v` for future shortcuts (instead making `z` a
971 “namespace” key, just like in Vim).
972
973 - To **exit Ignore mode:** `<escape>` → `<s-escape>`. This is because Ignore
974 mode has replaced the disable feature, as well as the special blacklist
975 state (see above). Sites are likely to use `<escape>` but not `<s-escape>`.
976 (In a way, this new role of Ignore mode also means that the old (many times
977 broken) shortcut to disable VimFx (`<a-V>`) has been replaced by `i`.) #64
978 \#375 #432
979
980 - VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now help only, and more accessible.
981 To **customize keyboard shortcuts,** go to VimFx’s settings page **in the
982 Add-ons Manager,** just like you would to customize other settings. Also,
983 **commas** between every key are **no longer needed:** Type `gJ` instead of
984 `g,J`.
985
986 - For performance reasons, **Hint markers** are now placed vertically **centered
987 instead of at the top** of the element. Don’t be surprised if you see the same
988 hint repeated several times**—links that go to the same place now get the same
989 hint.** The “Smart hints” option has been removed—hints are _always_ smart
990 now, and a lot smarter than before. Finally, hints now also work in the new
991 tab page, the Add-ons Manager and the preferences page. If you want to, you
992 can read more about [the `f` commands]. \#51 #60 #176 #320 #325 #468 #471 #475
993
994 - The **`F`** command now _always_ opens tabs in new **background** tabs, while
995 **`gf`** has been added to open tabs in new **foreground** tabs. #227 #464
996
997 - **Autofocus prevention** is now **off by default.** One of VimFx’s core
998 philosophies is to be nice to your browser habits. Some find autofocus
999 prevention too big a change. Turn it on again if you like it! By the way,
1000 autofocus prevention now works much more reliably and should not cause issues
1001 with other extensions. #497 #541
1002
1003 - The **“Scroll step”** option has been **removed**. The scrolling commands that
1004 used it now **work like the arrow keys instead,** and are customized just like
1005 them. See [scrolling prefs] for more information.
1006
1007 - Speaking of scrolling, **which elements scrolls** when you use VimFx’s
1008 scrolling commands **has changed.** See [scrolling commands] for more
1009 information.
1010
1011 ##### New features
1012
1013 - New commands:
1014
1015 - `gp` pins or unpins the current tab. (Also see `g^` and `g0` mentioned
1016 above.) #121
1017 - `yt` duplicates the current tab. #121
1018 - `0` and `^` scroll to the far left, and `$` scrolls to the far right.
1019 - [`gi`] has finally been implemented. #47
1020 - [Ignore mode `<s-f1>`] let you run a Normal mode command without exiting
1021 Ignore mode.
1022
1023 - In Hints mode you can now hold ctrl and alt to change behavior of the matched
1024 marker. Hold shift to temporarily make the hints see-through. See [the `f`
1025 commands] for more information. #220 #421 #484
1026
1027 - Some commands now accept [counts]. #374
1028
1029 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that work inside text inputs. See the
1030 [`<force>`] key for more information. #258
1031
1032 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that the page can override. See the
1033 [`<late>`] key for more information.
1034
1035 - A number of [advanced options] have been added. Rather than listing everything
1036 regarding them here, follow that link if you’re interested. #452 #489
1037
1038 - You may now, if you want to, configure VimFx through a [config file], using
1039 the new [public API]. Customizing VimFx through a config file also gives extra
1040 abilities, such as [site-specific options][option-overrides] and [disabling
1041 certain commands on certain sites][key-overrides]. It also allows to add
1042 [custom commands] \(and other extensions to extend VimFx). #158 #235 #255 #261
1043 \#300 #408 #445 #490 #515
1044
1045 - It is now easier to customize VimFx through custom [styling]. An example is
1046 changing the way hint markers look. #220 #233 #424 #432 #465
1047
1048 - VimFx now has [documentation] and a [wiki].
1049
1050 - A few new locales were added:
1051
1052 - fr. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r)!
1053 - pt-BR. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)!
1054 - sv-SE. Thanks to Andreas Lindhé (@lindhe)!
1055
1056 ##### Improvements
1057
1058 - VimFx is now multi-process/Electrolysis/e10s compatible! This means that you
1059 can run VimFx on a version of Firefox with multi-process enabled without
1060 issues, and that we’re future proof for the day when Firefox becomes
1061 multi-process by default. Best of all, it also made VimFx more reliable in
1062 non-multi-process (“regular”) Firefox. #378
1063
1064 - The `[` and `]` commands are now smarter, recognizing more links to the
1065 previous/next page correctly. You may read more about [previous/next page
1066 patterns]. #396
1067
1068 - The `n` and `N` commands now notify you when they wrap around the page, or the
1069 phrase you searched for could not be found. #398
1070
1071 - _All_ shortcuts in _all modes_ can now be customized. For example, this allows
1072 you to disable VimFx’s Vim-style `<enter>` behavior in the find bar. #222 #390
1073 \#421
1074
1075 - The `p` and `P` commands are now smarter regarding whether to treat the
1076 clipboard contents as a URL or a search, by working exactly like pasting in
1077 the location bar. They also now read the selection clipboard, if available.
1078 \#353 #382
1079
1080 - VimFx’s toolbar button is now properly implemented. #303 #349 #383
1081
1082 - Most locales were updated. Thanks to our awesome [translators]!
1083
1084 ##### Minor bug fixes
1085
1086 - VimFx now works correctly in tabs dragged to other windows. #57
1087 - The `p` command is no longer broken. #494
1088 - Non-ASCII shortcut keys now work properly. #433
1089 - The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog can no longer be covered by page elements.
1090 \#477
1091 - Hint markers can no longer be covered by page elements.
1092 - VimFx no longer causes scripts on icloud.com to get stuck in an infinite loop.

1118
1119 ### 0.5.17 (2015-01-23)
1120
1121 - Fixed: The hints generation no longer crashes on some pages (regression since
1122 version 0.5.15).
1123
1124 ### 0.5.16 (2015-01-22)
1125
1126 - Fixed: The toolbar button no longer throws errors. (This fix should have been
1127 in 0.5.15 but was forgotten. Luckily an AMO reviewer found it.)
1128
1129 ### 0.5.15 (2015-01-21)
1130
1131 - Improved: This version is now forwards-compatible with the upcoming version
1132 0.6.0. Downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.14 or older might cause VimFx to crash,
1133 but downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.15 is safe.
1134 - Fixed: Non-hintchars key presses in hints mode are now suppressed. They used
1135 to be passed along to the browser, which could confusingly activate site
1136 commands.
1137 - Fixed: The 'f' command now always opens links in the same tab. Links used to
1138 be able to force a new tab or window.
1139 - Fixed: Pressing 'Esc' in the location bar now restores the URL, as is the
1140 default behaviour of Firefox. You may now also close Firefox dialogs using
1141 'Esc'.
1142 - Improved: Updated the de locale. Thanks to Alexander Haeussler!
1143 - Improved: Updated the pl locale. Thanks to morethanoneanimal!
1144
1145 ### 0.5.14 (2014-08-16)
1146
1147 - Fixed: Locales should now work properly.
1148 - Improved: Updated the zh-CN locale (@mozillazg).
1149 - Improved: Updated the de locale (@Kambfhase).
1150 - Added: Japanese locale (@pluser).
1151 - Fixed: If you switched to another tab or window while an `<input>` element
1152 was focused and then switched back, the `<input>` element got blurred, while
1153 it should have stayed focused. This caused the auto-type feature of KeePassX
1154 to break.
1155
1156 ### 0.5.13 (2014-08-02)
1157
1158 - Fixed: The vote button on StackExchange sites are now markable again.
1159 - Improved: Detection of previous/next links. Should work better on gmail now.
1160 - Fixed: It is now possible to use Enter/Return in keyboard shortcuts.
1161 - Improved: The n/N commands (etc.) now work even if you didn’t open the finbar
1162 using the VimFx command (such as the default key binding ctrl+f, or by
1163 clicking a menu item).
1164 - Improved: It is now possible to blur text inputs without sending Esc to the
1165 page, which could cause dialogs etc. to annoyingly close.
1166 - Improved: Updated the el-GR locale (@sirodoht).
1167 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention sometimes made text inputs impossible to focus
1168 until you reloaded the page.
1169 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now works on more sites than before.
1170 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now prevents _all_ automatic focusing (not
1171 just when the page loads). This makes devdocs.io much easier to use.
1172 - Added: When viewing images directly and the image has been resized to fit the
1173 screen the image is now markable, allowing you to toggle zoom on it using the
1174 keyboard.
1175 - Fixed: It is no longer possible to add conflicting shortcuts (such as adding
1176 'a' when 'af' and 'as' are already present).
1177
1178 ### 0.5.12 (2014-06-01)
1179
1180 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention got stuck sometimes, making it impossible to
1181 focus inputs.
1182
1183 ### 0.5.11 (2014-06-01)
1184
1185 - Fixed: The focus search bar command was broken.
1186 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention was broken.
1187 - Fixed: The top bar on YouTube could not be accessed by VimFx.
1188 - Fixed: You can no longer add blank hotkeys.
1189 - Improved: Tab Groups are supported.
1190 - Improved: Matching of previous/next links should be more reliable.
1191 - Improved: A few minor things.
1192
