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

56
57 ### 0.21.0 (2019-05-15)
58
59 - Removed: The Developer Toolbar integration, such as the `:` shortcut. That

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

274
275 #### Other updates
276
277 - Added: The ability to **export, import and reset all** VimFx options. There
278 are three shiny new buttons for this in VimFx’s options page in the Add-ons
279 Manager!
280 - Added: The `gB` command, which lets you **quickly blacklist** (and
281 un-blacklist) sites.
282 - Added: The `ec` command, for opening the context menu of elements.
283 - Added: The `ep` command, for opening links in new private windows.
284 - Improved: `h`, `l`, `j` and `k` now feel more like scrolling with the arrow
285 keys when held down, by boosting the scrolling speed. See the
286 [`scroll.horizontal_boost` and `scroll.vertical_boost`][scroll-boost] options
287 for more information.
288 - Fixed: VimFx’s find bar integration is now much more robust. Most notably, if
289 you start typing directly after pressing `/` and Firefox is slow at opening
290 the find bar, your keypresses can no longer trigger VimFx commands or Firefox
291 built-in commands.
292 - Improved: VimFx no longer leaks keypresses to the web page in some modes. (For
293 example, counts in Caret mode).
294 - Improved: The `eb` command now finds more clickable elements in the devtools.
295 - Changed: `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` no longer lets you easily break for example
296 Hints mode, by now only being applied to Normal mode. You might need to change
297 your matchers from `(location, mode) => ...` to simply `location => ...`.
298 (Breaking API change.)
299 - Changed: The object passed to custom commands (and custom modes) no longer
300 contains a `uiEvent` property. Instead, there’s an `event` property. This
301 property can be used the same way if you check `vim.isUIEvent(event)` first.
302 (Breaking API change.)
303
304 [scroll-boost]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8bafdf0454043c1630bac8b13d13f1fb4e5ee9e7/documentation/options.md#scrollhorizontal_boost-and-scrollvertical_boost
305
306 ### 0.18.1 (2016-08-27)
307
308 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` no longer crashes on startup.
309 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` can now override the `prevent_autofocus`
310 pref again.
311
312 ### 0.18.0 (2016-08-20)
313
314 #### Changed default shortcuts
315
316 Some default keyboard shortcuts have been changed.
317
318 - Hint commands. Many of the old ones were difficult to remember, and there was
319 no space for adding new ones.
320
321 - `gf` → `et` (t as in tab)
322 - `gF` → `ew` (w as in window)
323 - `zf` → `ef` (f as in focus)
324 - `zF` → `eb` (b as in browser)
325 - `zv` → `av` (you actually select _all_ of the element’s text)
326
327 (`f`, `yf`, `af`, `v` and `yv` stay unchanged.)
328
329 There is a longer [explanation of these new defaults][hint-shortcuts] in the
330 documentation.
331
332 - `zr` → `gC`. `zr` was the only shortcut starting with `z`. This frees that key
333 up for other uses.
334
335 - `` ` `` → `'`. The `` ` `` shortcut (“scroll to mark”) as well as the `` ` ``
336 mark (“last position mark”) have both been changed to `'`. Both `` ` `` and
337 `'` are used in Vim. `'` is a better default, because it is easier to
338 type–both on an en-US QWERTY keyboard and, more importantly, on some
339 international layouts, such as the sv-SE QWERTY layout.
340
341 Note: If you miss Firefox’s default `'` shortcut to open the Quick Find bar
342 (which is now overridden), remember that VimFx provides `g/` which does the
343 same thing. (You can of course also change VimFx’s shortcuts.)
344
345 See also issue [#788].

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

438 ### 0.16.1 (2016-05-29)
439

441
442 ### 0.16.0 (2016-05-29)
443
444 - Fixed: The text input focus detection problems introduced in 0.15.1, which
445 sometimes caused VimFx commands to be triggered while typing in text inputs,
446 have been fixed.
447 - Improved: If you press `n` or `N` when there are are no matches for your
448 search, the find bar is no longer opened. Only a notification is shown. The
449 reliability of those notifications has also been improved.
450 - Improved: Hints mode now finds more links.
451 - Improved: Pressing `<c-enter>` in Hints mode now includes more elements.
452 - Updated locales: es, zh-CN. Thanks to @strel and @av2000ii!
453
454 ### 0.15.1 (2016-05-22)
455
456 - Improved: Better hints on Twitter.
457 - Improved: Compatibility with the [Evernote Web Clipper] add-on (and
458 potentially other add-ons with similar UI).
459 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!

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

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

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

630
631 ### 0.12.0 (2016-02-03)
632
633 - Improved: More clickable elements are now recognized. Most notably, elements
634 with click event listeners added by JavaScript now get hints.
635 - Improved: Autofocus prevention after using the `[` and `]` commands.
636 - Added: In VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (which can be opened by
637 pressing `?`) you can now click on any command to open VimFx’s settings page
638 in the Add-ons Manager and automatically select the text input for that
639 command, letting you edit its shortcuts. Tip: Use the `zF` command to click
640 without using the mouse.
641 - Changed: Autofocus is no longer prevented in Firefox internal pages, such as
642 `about:preferences`, `about:addons` and `about:config` (as well as other XUL
643 pages).
644 - Fixed: VimFx and the Beyond Australis extension do not conflict with each
645 other anymore.
646 - Fixed: The `gH` command no longer nags you about “No back/forward history”
647 even though there is.
648 - Added: The `gl` command now takes a [count][gl-count].
649 - Improved: Optimized CPU usage in Hints mode. (See also the [`hints_sleep`]
650 pref.)
651 - Improved: The `H` and `L` commands should now be more reliable in Firefox 43
652 and later.
653 - Changed: There was a tiny breaking change to the Public API, though I doubt it
654 will affect anyone. (See [commit 0ca807605e] if you’re especially interested.)
655 - Improved: _Several_ minor things, and some really nice internal refactoring.
656 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
657
658 [`hints_sleep`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/92b483c4a4f6da0b2c998267e0f01d3d999f93b6/documentation/options.md#hints_sleep

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

732
733 ### 0.9.0 (2015-12-02)
734
735 - Fixed: Links with the `onclick` attribute can now be opened in new tabs again.
736 (Regression since 0.8.0.)
737 - Fixed: The text size in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now
738 correctly resized.
739 - Added: The `gH` command. It opens the back/forward button context menu in the
740 middle of the window, allowing you to choose a history entry with the arrow
741 keys and `<enter>`.
742
743 ### 0.8.0 (2015-12-01)
744
745 - Fixed: VimFx now works properly in tabs moved to other windows.
746 - Fixed: An unreliable check for multi-process mode has been eliminated, fixing
747 various problems for some users.
748 - Fixed: VimFx’s toolbar button now changes color correctly when switching
749 between blacklisted and non-blacklisted tabs.
750 - Fixed: Dead keys now work out of the box on Windows.
751 - Improved: Links with the `onclick` attribute (abused as buttons) can no longer
752 get the same hint as another link.
753 - Added: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (shown by pressing `?`) is now
754 searchable.
755 - Added: The `g/` command. It’s like `/` but searches links only.
756
757 - Added: [Marks].
758
759 - Use `ma` to mark the current scroll position and `` `a `` to return to it.
760 (You may substitute `a` with any key press.)
761 - Use ``` `` ``` to return to the position before the last `gg`, `G`, `0`,
762 `$`, `/`, `n`, `N` or `` ` ``. (You can change this mark using the
763 [`last_scroll_position_mark`] pref.)
764
765 - Added: Window commands.
766
767 - `w`: Open new window.
768 - `W`: Open new private window.
769 - `gw`: Move tab to new window.
770 - `gF`: Follow link in new window.

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

839 ### 0.6.2 (2015-11-11)
840
841 - Improved: If the entire page isn’t scrollable, the largest scrollable element
842 is scrolled instead.
843 - Fixed: VimFx’s keyboard shortcuts now works on slowly loading pages.
844 - Fixed: Numbers may now be used as shortcut keys (overriding counts).
845 - Fixed: The toolbar button’s icon is now correctly sized in high DPI.
846 - Fixed: Hint markers are now correctly positioned when zooming using the “Zoom
847 text only” option.
848 - Fixed: The `P` command now works with the InstantFox add-on.
849
850 ### 0.6.1 (2015-11-10)
851
852 - Fixed: If you customized the “esc” command before VimFx 0.6.0 it should now
853 work as expected.
854 - Fixed: `<tab>` now works as expected in the location bar and in the dev tools.
855 - Fixed: Light-weight themes can no longer make VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
856 dialog and hint markers unreadable.
857 - Added: The [notifications\_enabled] option.
858
859 [notifications\_enabled]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/56c4b7c514ea8b58d2cdcecf3d2654648c48ca31/documentation/options.md#notifications_enabled
860
861 ### 0.6.0 (2015-11-09)
862
863 ##### Most important (breaking) changes
864
865 - VimFx now works properly with **any keyboard layout.** Users of **multiple
866 layouts** should enable the **[ignore keyboard layout] option.** #249 #259
867
868 - Features related to disabling VimFx, and to the [toolbar button]:
869
870 - **Insert Mode** has been renamed to **_Ignore_ mode.**
871 - **[Blacklisted][blacklist] sites** now **enter Ignore mode automatically,**
872 instead of being specially handled.
873 - The feature to click the toolbar button (or press `<a-V>`) to **disable
874 VimFx** has been **removed.** Use **Ignore mode** (`i`) and the
875 **[blacklist] instead.**
876 - The **toolbar button** is now **red in Ignore mode** (which also means that
877 it is red on blacklisted sites) and green otherwise (never grey anymore).
878 - The toolbar button no longer offers to (un-)blacklist the current domain.
879 (Head into VimFx’s settings page in the Add-ons Manager and add
880 `*currentdomain.com*` to the [blacklist] option yourself instead.)
881
882 (See [commit 3552282] for more information.)
883
884 - **Some default shortcuts have changed,** mostly because they conflicted with
885 standard Firefox shortcuts: #308
886
887 - `<c-J>` → `gJ`
888
889 - `<c-K>` → `gK`
890
891 - `g^` and `gH` → `g0`
892
893 `g^` now selects the first _non pinned_ tab instead, while `g0`
894 selects the first tab regardless of whether it is pinned or not. #317
895
896 - `<c-e>` (alias for `j`) and `<c-y>` (alias for `k`) have been removed.
897
898 - `<c-f>` → `<space>` and `<c-b>` → `<s-space>`
899
900 - `vf` → `zf`
901
902 This frees up `v` for future shortcuts (instead making `z` a
903 “namespace” key, just like in Vim).
904
905 - To **exit Ignore mode:** `<escape>` → `<s-escape>`. This is because Ignore
906 mode has replaced the disable feature, as well as the special blacklist
907 state (see above). Sites are likely to use `<escape>` but not `<s-escape>`.
908 (In a way, this new role of Ignore mode also means that the old (many times
909 broken) shortcut to disable VimFx (`<a-V>`) has been replaced by `i`.) #64
910 \#375 #432
911
912 - VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now help only, and more accessible.
913 To **customize keyboard shortcuts,** go to VimFx’s settings page **in the
914 Add-ons Manager,** just like you would to customize other settings. Also,
915 **commas** between every key are **no longer needed:** Type `gJ` instead of
916 `g,J`.
917
918 - For performance reasons, **Hint markers** are now placed vertically **centered
919 instead of at the top** of the element. Don’t be surprised if you see the same
920 hint repeated several times**—links that go to the same place now get the same
921 hint.** The “Smart hints” option has been removed—hints are _always_ smart
922 now, and a lot smarter than before. Finally, hints now also work in the new
923 tab page, the Add-ons Manager and the preferences page. If you want to, you
924 can read more about [the `f` commands]. \#51 #60 #176 #320 #325 #468 #471 #475
925
926 - The **`F`** command now _always_ opens tabs in new **background** tabs, while
927 **`gf`** has been added to open tabs in new **foreground** tabs. #227 #464
928
929 - **Autofocus prevention** is now **off by default.** One of VimFx’s core
930 philosophies is to be nice to your browser habits. Some find autofocus
931 prevention too big a change. Turn it on again if you like it! By the way,
932 autofocus prevention now works much more reliably and should not cause issues
933 with other extensions. #497 #541
934
935 - The **“Scroll step”** option has been **removed**. The scrolling commands that
936 used it now **work like the arrow keys instead,** and are customized just like
937 them. See [scrolling prefs] for more information.
938
939 - Speaking of scrolling, **which elements scrolls** when you use VimFx’s
940 scrolling commands **has changed.** See [scrolling commands] for more
941 information.
942
943 ##### New features
944
945 - New commands:
946
947 - `gp` pins or unpins the current tab. (Also see `g^` and `g0` mentioned
948 above.) #121
949 - `yt` duplicates the current tab. #121
950 - `0` and `^` scroll to the far left, and `$` scrolls to the far right.
951 - [`gi`] has finally been implemented. #47
952 - [Ignore mode `<s-f1>`] let you run a Normal mode command without exiting
953 Ignore mode.
954
955 - In Hints mode you can now hold ctrl and alt to change behavior of the matched
956 marker. Hold shift to temporarily make the hints see-through. See [the `f`
957 commands] for more information. #220 #421 #484
958
959 - Some commands now accept [counts]. #374
960
961 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that work inside text inputs. See the
962 [`<force>`] key for more information. #258
963
964 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that the page can override. See the
965 [`<late>`] key for more information.
966
967 - A number of [advanced options] have been added. Rather than listing everything
968 regarding them here, follow that link if you’re interested. #452 #489
969
970 - You may now, if you want to, configure VimFx through a [config file], using
971 the new [public API]. Customizing VimFx through a config file also gives extra
972 abilities, such as [site-specific options][option-overrides] and [disabling
973 certain commands on certain sites][key-overrides]. It also allows to add
974 [custom commands] \(and other extensions to extend VimFx). #158 #235 #255 #261
975 \#300 #408 #445 #490 #515
976
977 - It is now easier to customize VimFx through custom [styling]. An example is
978 changing the way hint markers look. #220 #233 #424 #432 #465
979
980 - VimFx now has [documentation] and a [wiki].
981
982 - A few new locales were added:
983
984 - fr. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r)!
985 - pt-BR. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)!
986 - sv-SE. Thanks to Andreas Lindhé (@lindhe)!
987
988 ##### Improvements
989
990 - VimFx is now multi-process/Electrolysis/e10s compatible! This means that you
991 can run VimFx on a version of Firefox with multi-process enabled without
992 issues, and that we’re future proof for the day when Firefox becomes
993 multi-process by default. Best of all, it also made VimFx more reliable in
994 non-multi-process (“regular”) Firefox. #378
995
996 - The `[` and `]` commands are now smarter, recognizing more links to the
997 previous/next page correctly. You may read more about [previous/next page
998 patterns]. #396
999
1000 - The `n` and `N` commands now notify you when they wrap around the page, or the
1001 phrase you searched for could not be found. #398
1002
1003 - _All_ shortcuts in _all modes_ can now be customized. For example, this allows
1004 you to disable VimFx’s Vim-style `<enter>` behavior in the find bar. #222 #390
1005 \#421
1006
1007 - The `p` and `P` commands are now smarter regarding whether to treat the
1008 clipboard contents as a URL or a search, by working exactly like pasting in
1009 the location bar. They also now read the selection clipboard, if available.
1010 \#353 #382
1011
1012 - VimFx’s toolbar button is now properly implemented. #303 #349 #383
1013
1014 - Most locales were updated. Thanks to our awesome [translators]!
1015
1016 ##### Minor bug fixes
1017
1018 - VimFx now works correctly in tabs dragged to other windows. #57
1019 - The `p` command is no longer broken. #494
1020 - Non-ASCII shortcut keys now work properly. #433
1021 - The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog can no longer be covered by page elements.
1022 \#477
1023 - Hint markers can no longer be covered by page elements.
1024 - VimFx no longer causes scripts on icloud.com to get stuck in an infinite loop.

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