VimFx v0.12.0
[VimFx.git] / CHANGELOG.md
1 ### 0.12.0 (2016-02-03)
2
3 - Improved: More clickable elements are now recognized. Most notably, elements
4 with click event listeners added by JavaScript now get hints.
5 - Improved: Autofocus prevention after using the `[` and `]` commands.
6 - Added: In VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (which can be opened by
7 pressing `?`) you can now click on any command to open VimFx’s settings page
8 in the Add-ons Manager and automatically select the text input for that
9 command, letting you edit its shortcuts. Tip: Use the `zF` command to click
10 without using the mouse.
11 - Changed: Autofocus is no longer prevented in Firefox internal pages, such as
12 `about:preferences`, `about:addons` and `about:config` (as well as other XUL
13 pages).
14 - Fixed: VimFx and the Beyond Australis extension do not conflict with each
15 other anymore.
16 - Fixed: The `gH` command no longer nags you about “No back/forward history”
17 even though there is.
18 - Added: The `gl` command now takes a [count][gl-count].
19 - Improved: Optimized CPU usage in Hints mode. (See also the [`hints_sleep`]
20 pref.)
21 - Improved: The `H` and `L` commands should now be more reliable in Firefox 43
22 and later.
23 - Changed: There was a tiny breaking change to the Public API, though I doubt it
24 will affect anyone. (See [commit 0ca807605e] if you’re especially interested.)
25 - Improved: _Several_ minor things, and some really nice internal refactoring.
26 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!

29 [gl-count]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/92b483c4a4f6da0b2c998267e0f01d3d999f93b6/documentation/commands.md#gl
30 [commit 0ca807605e]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/commit/0ca807605e8d69fdc01ef9ce5d539cf66ce7d96f
31
32 ### 0.11.0 (2016-01-15)
33
34 - Fixed: The `` ` `` command is no longer broken.
35 - Fixed: Memory leak.
36 - Added: The `gl` command, which takes you to the most recent tab.
37 - Improved: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now scrollable using VimFx’s
38 scrolling commands. To allow for this, the search field is no longer
39 autofocused. Instead, press `/` to open it.
40 - Improved: Using the `f` commands, such as `f` and `zf`, now works like
41 actually moving your mouse onto the link, making hover menus and such-like
42 appear.
43 - Improved: VimFx should now work better with Google Drive Documents, Etherpad
44 and a few other fancy text editors.
45 - Improved: The `]` command now works on google.com.
46 - Improved: Checkboxes and menu items on gmail.com are now given hints by the
47 `f` command.
48 - Improved: The `gi` command now also recognizes 'contenteditable' elements.
49 - Improved: Hint markers now move along together with their elements.
50 - Fixed: Hint markers should now be correctly positioned when zooming.
51 - Fixed: The toolbar button icon should now look correctly on Retina screens.
52 - Added: You may now disable counts by using toggling the [`counts_enabled`]
53 pref.
54 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
55 - Improved: Several minor things.
56
57 [`counts_enabled`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8dae7aec9008595da31b939d5ae2d239849cf6dc/documentation/options.md#counts_enabled
58
59 ### 0.10.0 (2015-12-09)
60
61 - Added: The `zF` command, which lets you click browser elements.
62 - Improved: The scrolling commands can now scroll browser elements (in other
63 words, not only web page content), by first selecting the scollable element
64 using `zF`.
65 - Added: The `gr` command, which toggles [Reader View].
66 - Added: The `gX` command, which opens the Recently Closed Tabs menu at the
67 middle of the screen.
68 - Added: The keys you’ve typed so far of a command, as well the count, are now
69 shown in a [notification]. (You may disable this using the
70 [`notify_entered_keys`] pref.)
71 - Improved: When commands don’t do anything, they show a [notification] instead,
72 letting you know that you actually pressed the right keys. For example, if you
73 press `f` but there are no markable elements visible, a notification is shown
74 telling you so, instead of silently doing nothing.
75 - Improved: `<space>` now scrolls _about a line less_ than a full page, just
76 like Firefox does by default. `d` scroll about _half_ a line less (by
77 default), so that pressing `d` twice works like pressing `<space>` once. (See
78 the [`scroll.full_page_adjustment` and `scroll.half_page_adjustment`] prefs
79 for more information.)
80 - Improved: `gi` now only selects all text in its text input if you haven’t
81 focused a text input yet (allowing you to easily replace pre-filled text),
82 instead of _always_ doing so. Otherwise, it now puts the cursor where you left
83 off typing the last time.
84 - Fixed: The `f` commands now put the cursor where you left off typing the last
85 time when focusing a text input. Previously, they accidentally selected all
86 text in the text input (use `zf` for that behavior).
87 - Fixed: Yet a scrolling fix. VimFx’s scrolling commands should now “just work”
88 on even more sites.
89 - Fixed: AltGr should now work out of the box on Windows. (See the
90 [`ignore_ctrl_alt`] pref for more information.)
91 - Removed: The el-GR, hu and pl locales were sadly too out of date to be useful,
92 and nobody has shown interest in updating them, so they were removed.
93 - Updated locales: id, de and zh-CN. Thanks to Yoppy Halilintar, @just-barcodes
94 and @mozillazg!
95 - Fixed: Several tiny bugs.

102
103 ### 0.9.0 (2015-12-02)
104
105 - Fixed: Links with the `onclick` attribute can now be opened in new tabs again.
106 (Regression since 0.8.0.)
107 - Fixed: The text size in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now
108 correctly resized.
109 - Added: The `gH` command. It opens the back/forward button context menu in the
110 middle of the window, allowing you to choose a history entry with the arrow
111 keys and `<enter>`.
112
113 ### 0.8.0 (2015-12-01)
114
115 - Fixed: VimFx now works properly in tabs moved to other windows.
116 - Fixed: An unreliable check for multi-process mode has been eliminated, fixing
117 various problems for some users.
118 - Fixed: VimFx’s toolbar button now changes color correctly when switching
119 between blacklisted and non-blacklisted tabs.
120 - Fixed: Dead keys now work out of the box on Windows.
121 - Improved: Links with the `onclick` attribute (abused as buttons) can no longer
122 get the same hint as another link.
123 - Added: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (shown by pressing `?`) is now
124 searchable.
125 - Added: The `g/` command. It’s like `/` but searches links only.
126
127 - Added: [Marks].
128
129 - Use `ma` to mark the current scroll position and `` `a `` to return to it.
130 (You may substitute `a` with any key press.)
131 - Use ``` `` ``` to return to the position before the last `gg`, `G`, `0`,
132 `$`, `/`, `n`, `N` or `` ` ``. (You can change this mark using the
133 [`last_scroll_position_mark`] pref.)
134
135 - Added: Window commands.
136
137 - `w`: Open new window.
138 - `W`: Open new private window.
139 - `gw`: Move tab to new window.
140 - `gF`: Follow link in new window.
141
142 [Marks]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/47fc699ce8217ee90af4d12e81f102f2bea09d61/documentation/commands.md#marks-m-and-
143 [`last_scroll_position_mark`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/47fc699ce8217ee90af4d12e81f102f2bea09d61/documentation/options.md#last_scroll_position_mark
144
145 ### 0.7.3 (2015-11-22)
146
147 - Fixed: Scrolling now works correctly in pages in quirks mode (lacking a
148 doctype), such as Hackernews.
149 - Improved: The largest scrollable element is now detected better in frames.
150 - Fixed: Hints mode now exits correctly when focusing a text input using `af`,
151 or `f` with a count.
152
153 ### 0.7.2 (2015-11-21)
154
155 - Fixed: The blinking text caret now always appears correctly when focusing text
156 inputs.
157
158 ### 0.7.1 (2015-11-21)
159
160 - Fixed: The scrolling commands should now “just work” when using non-default
161 zoom or DPI settings, most notably on Google Groups.
162
163 ### 0.7.0 (2015-11-19)
164
165 - Changed: Instead of using system notifications, which turned out to be a bit
166 too intrusive, [notifications] are now similar to the “URL popup” (shown when
167 hovering or focusing links) but are placed on the opposite side,.
168 - Changed: The “Focus next element” and “Focus previous element” commands have
169 been removed. The reason they existed was to let `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` only
170 cycle between text inputs (as opposed to _all_ focusable elements) after
171 you’ve pressed `gi`. Now, `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` are handled specially instead,
172 and _only_ after pressing `gi`. The reason for this change is that the now
173 removed commands were too intrusive, breaking user habits. One of VimFx’s main
174 goal is _not_ to do that. (You can turn the special handling of `<tab>` and
175 `<s-tab>` off using the the new [`focus_previous_key` and `focus_next_key`]
176 prefs.)
177 - Fixed: The scrolling commands should now “just work” in a lot more situations,
178 most notably on Gmail and Google Groups. More scrollable elements are also
179 recognized by the `f` and `zf` commands.
180 - Improved: The right border of hint markers for scrollable elements is now
181 styled to remind of a scroll bar, making them easier to recognize among hints
182 for links.
183 - Improved/Changed: `J` and `gJ` now allow a count on the first tab.
184 Consequently, `K` and `gK` now allow a count on the _last_ tab.
185 - Changed: `gJ` and `gK` can no longer be used to pin or unpin tabs. They now
186 only wrap around tabs of the same pinned state. Use `gp` to toggle between
187 pinned and non-pinned.
188 - Fixed: Many elements that got a hint before VimFx 0.6.0 now do again.
189 - Improved: Comment fields on Facebook can now be focused using `f` and blurred
190 using `<escape>`.
191 - Improved: VimFx’s toolbar button is no greyed out when you focus a text input.
192 This is to show that your key presses will be passed into the text input
193 rather than activating VimFx commands.
194 - Added: [`g0`, `g^` and `g$` now accept counts][tab-index-counts], allowing you
195 to go to tab number _count._
196 - Improved: `gi` now finds text inputs inside frames.
197 - Fixed: “gi mode” is now exited properly when blurring a text input.
198 - Fixed: `<select>` elements are no longer considered to be text inputs when
199 using `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` in “gi mode.”
200 - Fixed: Using `<force>` or `<late>` in a shortcut no longer applies to _every_
201 shortcut for the command, but only that shortcut.
202 - Fixed: The order of the Previous/Next page patterns is now respected. This
203 caused the wrong link to be picked by the `[` and `]` commands on some pages.

208
209 ### 0.6.2 (2015-11-11)
210
211 - Improved: If the entire page isn’t scrollable, the largest scrollable element
212 is scrolled instead.
213 - Fixed: VimFx’s keyboard shortcuts now works on slowly loading pages.
214 - Fixed: Numbers may now be used as shortcut keys (overriding counts).
215 - Fixed: The toolbar button’s icon is now correctly sized in high DPI.
216 - Fixed: Hint markers are now correctly positioned when zooming using the “Zoom
217 text only” option.
218 - Fixed: The `P` command now works with the InstantFox add-on.
219
220 ### 0.6.1 (2015-11-10)
221
222 - Fixed: If you customized the “esc” command before VimFx 0.6.0 it should now
223 work as expected.
224 - Fixed: `<tab>` now works as expected in the location bar and in the dev tools.
225 - Fixed: Light-weight themes can no longer make VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
226 dialog and hint markers unreadable.
227 - Added: The [notifications\_enabled] option.
228
229 [notifications\_enabled]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/56c4b7c514ea8b58d2cdcecf3d2654648c48ca31/documentation/options.md#notifications_enabled
230
231 ### 0.6.0 (2015-11-09)
232
233 ##### Most important (breaking) changes
234
235 - VimFx now works properly with **any keyboard layout.** Users of **multiple
236 layouts** should enable the **[ignore keyboard layout] option.** #249 #259
237
238 - Features related to disabling VimFx, and to the [toolbar button]:
239
240 - **Insert Mode** has been renamed to **_Ignore_ mode.**
241 - **[Blacklisted][blacklist] sites** now **enter Ignore mode automatically,**
242 instead of being specially handled.
243 - The feature to click the toolbar button (or press `<a-V>`) to **disable
244 VimFx** has been **removed.** Use **Ignore mode** (`i`) and the
245 **[blacklist] instead.**
246 - The **toolbar button** is now **red in Ignore mode** (which also means that
247 it is red on blacklisted sites) and green otherwise (never grey anymore).
248 - The toolbar button no longer offers to (un-)blacklist the current domain.
249 (Head into VimFx’s settings page in the Add-ons Manager and add
250 `*currentdomain.com*` to the [blacklist] option yourself instead.)
251
252 (See [commit 3552282] for more information.)
253
254 - **Some default shortcuts have changed,** mostly because they conflicted with
255 standard Firefox shortcuts: #308
256
257 - `<c-J>` → `gJ`
258
259 - `<c-K>` → `gK`
260
261 - `g^` and `gH` → `g0`
262
263 `g^` now selects the first _non pinned_ tab instead, while `g0`
264 selects the first tab regardless of whether it is pinned or not. #317
265
266 - `<c-e>` (alias for `j`) and `<c-y>` (alias for `k`) have been removed.
267
268 - `<c-f>` → `<space>` and `<c-b>` → `<s-space>`
269
270 - `vf` → `zf`
271
272 This frees up `v` for future shortcuts (instead making `z` a
273 “namespace” key, just like in Vim).
274
275 - To **exit Ignore mode:** `<escape>` → `<s-escape>`. This is because Ignore
276 mode has replaced the disable feature, as well as the special blacklist
277 state (see above). Sites are likely to use `<escape>` but not `<s-escape>`.
278 (In a way, this new role of Ignore mode also means that the old (many times
279 broken) shortcut to disable VimFx (`<a-V>`) has been replaced by `i`.) #64
280 \#375 #432
281
282 - VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now help only, and more accessible.
283 To **customize keyboard shortcuts,** go to VimFx’s settings page **in the
284 Add-ons Manager,** just like you would to customize other settings. Also,
285 **commas** between every key are **no longer needed:** Type `gJ` instead of
286 `g,J`.
287
288 - For performance reasons, **Hint markers** are now placed vertically **centered
289 instead of at the top** of the element. Don’t be surprised if you see the same
290 hint repeated several times**—links that go to the same place now get the same
291 hint.** The “Smart hints” option has been removed—hints are _always_ smart
292 now, and a lot smarter than before. Finally, hints now also work in the new
293 tab page, the Add-ons Manager and the preferences page. If you want to, you
294 can read more about [the `f` commands]. \#51 #60 #176 #320 #325 #468 #471 #475
295
296 - The **`F`** command now _always_ opens tabs in new **background** tabs, while
297 **`gf`** has been added to open tabs in new **foreground** tabs. #227 #464
298
299 - **Autofocus prevention** is now **off by default.** One of VimFx’s core
300 philosophies is to be nice to your browser habits. Some find autofocus
301 prevention too big a change. Turn it on again if you like it! By the way,
302 autofocus prevention now works much more reliably and should not cause issues
303 with other extensions. #497 #541
304
305 - The **“Scroll step”** option has been **removed**. The scrolling commands that
306 used it now **work like the arrow keys instead,** and are customized just like
307 them. See [scrolling prefs] for more information.
308
309 - Speaking of scrolling, **which elements scrolls** when you use VimFx’s
310 scrolling commands **has changed.** See [scrolling commands] for more
311 information.
312
313 ##### New features
314
315 - New commands:
316
317 - `gp` pins or unpins the current tab. (Also see `g^` and `g0` mentioned
318 above.) #121
319 - `yt` duplicates the current tab. #121
320 - `0` and `^` scroll to the far left, and `$` scrolls to the far right.
321 - [`gi`] has finally been implemented. #47
322 - [Ignore mode `<s-f1>`] let you run a Normal mode command without exiting
323 Ignore mode.
324
325 - In Hints mode you can now hold ctrl and alt to change behavior of the matched
326 marker. Hold shift to temporarily make the hints see-through. See [the `f`
327 commands] for more information. #220 #421 #484
328
329 - Some commands now accept [counts]. #374
330
331 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that work inside text inputs. See the
332 [`<force>`] key for more information. #258
333
334 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that the page can override. See the
335 [`<late>`] key for more information.
336
337 - A number of [advanced options] have been added. Rather than listing everything
338 regarding them here, follow that link if you’re interested. #452 #489
339
340 - You may now, if you want to, configure VimFx through a [config file], using
341 the new [public API]. Customizing VimFx through a config file also gives extra
342 abilities, such as [site-specific options][option-overrides] and [disabling
343 certain commands on certain sites][key-overrides]. It also allows to add
344 [custom commands] \(and other extensions to extend VimFx). #158 #235 #255 #261
345 \#300 #408 #445 #490 #515
346
347 - It is now easier to customize VimFx through custom [styling]. An example is
348 changing the way hint markers look. #220 #233 #424 #432 #465
349
350 - VimFx now has [documentation] and a [wiki].
351
352 - A few new locales were added:
353
354 - fr. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r)!
355 - pt-BR. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)!
356 - sv-SE. Thanks to Andreas Lindhé (@lindhe)!
357
358 ##### Improvements
359
360 - VimFx is now multi-process/Electrolysis/e10s compatible! This means that you
361 can run VimFx on a version of Firefox with multi-process enabled without
362 issues, and that we’re future proof for the day when Firefox becomes
363 multi-process by default. Best of all, it also made VimFx more reliable in
364 non-multi-process (“regular”) Firefox. #378
365
366 - The `[` and `]` commands are now smarter, recognizing more links to the
367 previous/next page correctly. You may read more about [previous/next page
368 patterns]. #396
369
370 - The `n` and `N` commands now notify you when they wrap around the page, or the
371 phrase you searched for could not be found. #398
372
373 - _All_ shortcuts in _all modes_ can now be customized. For example, this allows
374 you to disable VimFx’s Vim-style `<enter>` behavior in the find bar. #222 #390
375 \#421
376
377 - The `p` and `P` commands are now smarter regarding whether to treat the
378 clipboard contents as a URL or a search, by working exactly like pasting in
379 the location bar. They also now read the selection clipboard, if available.
380 \#353 #382
381
382 - VimFx’s toolbar button is now properly implemented. #303 #349 #383
383
384 - Most locales were updated. Thanks to our awesome [translators]!
385
386 ##### Minor bug fixes
387
388 - VimFx now works correctly in tabs dragged to other windows. #57
389 - The `p` command is no longer broken. #494
390 - Non-ASCII shortcut keys now work properly. #433
391 - The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog can no longer be covered by page elements.
392 \#477
393 - Hint markers can no longer be covered by page elements.
394 - VimFx no longer causes scripts on icloud.com to get stuck in an infinite loop.
395 \#389

420
421 ### 0.5.17 (2015-01-23)
422
423 - Fixed: The hints generation no longer crashes on some pages (regression since
424 version 0.5.15).
425
426 ### 0.5.16 (2015-01-22)
427
428 - Fixed: The toolbar button no longer throws errors. (This fix should have been
429 in 0.5.15 but was forgotten. Luckily an AMO reviewer found it.)
430
431 ### 0.5.15 (2015-01-21)
432
433 - Improved: This version is now forwards-compatible with the upcoming version
434 0.6.0. Downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.14 or older might cause VimFx to crash,
435 but downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.15 is safe.
436 - Fixed: Non-hintchars key presses in hints mode are now suppressed. They used
437 to be passed along to the browser, which could confusingly activate site
438 commands.
439 - Fixed: The 'f' command now always opens links in the same tab. Links used to
440 be able to force a new tab or window.
441 - Fixed: Pressing 'Esc' in the location bar now restores the URL, as is the
442 default behaviour of Firefox. You may now also close Firefox dialogs using
443 'Esc'.
444 - Improved: Updated the de locale. Thanks to Alexander Haeussler!
445 - Improved: Updated the pl locale. Thanks to morethanoneanimal!
446
447 ### 0.5.14 (2014-08-16)
448
449 - Fixed: Locales should now work properly.
450 - Improved: Updated the zh-CN locale (@mozillazg).
451 - Improved: Updated the de locale (@Kambfhase).
452 - Added: Japanese locale (@pluser).
453 - Fixed: If you switched to another tab or window while an `<input>` element
454 was focused and then switched back, the `<input>` element got blurred, while
455 it should have stayed focused. This caused the auto-type feature of KeePassX
456 to break.
457
458 ### 0.5.13 (2014-08-02)
459
460 - Fixed: The vote button on StackExchange sites are now markable again.
461 - Improved: Detection of previous/next links. Should work better on gmail now.
462 - Fixed: It is now possible to use Enter/Return in keyboard shortcuts.
463 - Improved: The n/N commands (etc.) now work even if you didn’t open the finbar
464 using the VimFx command (such as the default key binding ctrl+f, or by
465 clicking a menu item).
466 - Improved: It is now possible to blur text inputs without sending Esc to the
467 page, which could cause dialogs etc. to annoyingly close.
468 - Improved: Updated the el-GR locale (@sirodoht).
469 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention sometimes made text inputs impossible to focus
470 until you reloaded the page.
471 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now works on more sites than before.
472 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now prevents _all_ automatic focusing (not
473 just when the page loads). This makes devdocs.io much easier to use.
474 - Added: When viewing images directly and the image has been resized to fit the
475 screen the image is now markable, allowing you to toggle zoom on it using the
476 keyboard.
477 - Fixed: It is no longer possible to add conflicting shortcuts (such as adding
478 'a' when 'af' and 'as' are already present).
479
480 ### 0.5.12 (2014-06-01)
481
482 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention got stuck sometimes, making it impossible to
483 focus inputs.
484
485 ### 0.5.11 (2014-06-01)
486
487 - Fixed: The focus search bar command was broken.
488 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention was broken.
489 - Fixed: The top bar on YouTube could not be accessed by VimFx.
490 - Fixed: You can no longer add blank hotkeys.
491 - Improved: Tab Groups are supported.
492 - Improved: Matching of previous/next links should be more reliable.
493 - Improved: A few minor things.
494
495 ### 0.5.10 (2014-05-07)
496
