59
60 Thanks to Tobias Girstmair (@girst)!
61
62 ### 0.21.0 (2019-05-15)
63
64 - Removed: The Developer Toolbar integration, such as the `:` shortcut. That

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

279
280 #### Other updates
281
282 - Added: The ability to **export, import and reset all** VimFx options. There
283 are three shiny new buttons for this in VimFx’s options page in the Add-ons
284 Manager!
285 - Added: The `gB` command, which lets you **quickly blacklist** (and
286 un-blacklist) sites.
287 - Added: The `ec` command, for opening the context menu of elements.
288 - Added: The `ep` command, for opening links in new private windows.
289 - Improved: `h`, `l`, `j` and `k` now feel more like scrolling with the arrow
290 keys when held down, by boosting the scrolling speed. See the
291 [`scroll.horizontal_boost` and `scroll.vertical_boost`][scroll-boost] options
292 for more information.
293 - Fixed: VimFx’s find bar integration is now much more robust. Most notably, if
294 you start typing directly after pressing `/` and Firefox is slow at opening
295 the find bar, your keypresses can no longer trigger VimFx commands or Firefox
296 built-in commands.
297 - Improved: VimFx no longer leaks keypresses to the web page in some modes. (For
298 example, counts in Caret mode).
299 - Improved: The `eb` command now finds more clickable elements in the devtools.
300 - Changed: `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` no longer lets you easily break for example
301 Hints mode, by now only being applied to Normal mode. You might need to change
302 your matchers from `(location, mode) => ...` to simply `location => ...`.
303 (Breaking API change.)
304 - Changed: The object passed to custom commands (and custom modes) no longer
305 contains a `uiEvent` property. Instead, there’s an `event` property. This
306 property can be used the same way if you check `vim.isUIEvent(event)` first.
307 (Breaking API change.)
308
309 [scroll-boost]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8bafdf0454043c1630bac8b13d13f1fb4e5ee9e7/documentation/options.md#scrollhorizontal_boost-and-scrollvertical_boost
310
311 ### 0.18.1 (2016-08-27)
312
313 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` no longer crashes on startup.
314 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` can now override the `prevent_autofocus`
315 pref again.
316
317 ### 0.18.0 (2016-08-20)
318
319 #### Changed default shortcuts
320
321 Some default keyboard shortcuts have been changed.
322
323 - Hint commands. Many of the old ones were difficult to remember, and there was
324 no space for adding new ones.
325
326 - `gf` → `et` (t as in tab)
327 - `gF` → `ew` (w as in window)
328 - `zf` → `ef` (f as in focus)
329 - `zF` → `eb` (b as in browser)
330 - `zv` → `av` (you actually select _all_ of the element’s text)
331
332 (`f`, `yf`, `af`, `v` and `yv` stay unchanged.)
333
334 There is a longer [explanation of these new defaults][hint-shortcuts] in the
335 documentation.
336
337 - `zr` → `gC`. `zr` was the only shortcut starting with `z`. This frees that key
338 up for other uses.
339
340 - `` ` `` → `'`. The `` ` `` shortcut (“scroll to mark”) as well as the `` ` ``
341 mark (“last position mark”) have both been changed to `'`. Both `` ` `` and
342 `'` are used in Vim. `'` is a better default, because it is easier to
343 type–both on an en-US QWERTY keyboard and, more importantly, on some
344 international layouts, such as the sv-SE QWERTY layout.
345
346 Note: If you miss Firefox’s default `'` shortcut to open the Quick Find bar
347 (which is now overridden), remember that VimFx provides `g/` which does the
348 same thing. (You can of course also change VimFx’s shortcuts.)
349
350 See also issue [#788].

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

444
445 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer crashes (regression since 0.16.0).
446
447 ### 0.16.0 (2016-05-29)
448
449 - Fixed: The text input focus detection problems introduced in 0.15.1, which
450 sometimes caused VimFx commands to be triggered while typing in text inputs,
451 have been fixed.
452 - Improved: If you press `n` or `N` when there are are no matches for your
453 search, the find bar is no longer opened. Only a notification is shown. The
454 reliability of those notifications has also been improved.
455 - Improved: Hints mode now finds more links.
456 - Improved: Pressing `<c-enter>` in Hints mode now includes more elements.
457 - Updated locales: es, zh-CN. Thanks to @strel and @av2000ii!
458
459 ### 0.15.1 (2016-05-22)
460
461 - Improved: Better hints on Twitter.
462 - Improved: Compatibility with the [Evernote Web Clipper] add-on (and
463 potentially other add-ons with similar UI).
464 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!

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

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

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

635
636 ### 0.12.0 (2016-02-03)
637
638 - Improved: More clickable elements are now recognized. Most notably, elements
639 with click event listeners added by JavaScript now get hints.
640 - Improved: Autofocus prevention after using the `[` and `]` commands.
641 - Added: In VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (which can be opened by
642 pressing `?`) you can now click on any command to open VimFx’s settings page
643 in the Add-ons Manager and automatically select the text input for that
644 command, letting you edit its shortcuts. Tip: Use the `zF` command to click
645 without using the mouse.
646 - Changed: Autofocus is no longer prevented in Firefox internal pages, such as
647 `about:preferences`, `about:addons` and `about:config` (as well as other XUL
648 pages).
649 - Fixed: VimFx and the Beyond Australis extension do not conflict with each
650 other anymore.
651 - Fixed: The `gH` command no longer nags you about “No back/forward history”
652 even though there is.
653 - Added: The `gl` command now takes a [count][gl-count].
654 - Improved: Optimized CPU usage in Hints mode. (See also the [`hints_sleep`]
655 pref.)
656 - Improved: The `H` and `L` commands should now be more reliable in Firefox 43
657 and later.
658 - Changed: There was a tiny breaking change to the Public API, though I doubt it
659 will affect anyone. (See [commit 0ca807605e] if you’re especially interested.)
660 - Improved: _Several_ minor things, and some really nice internal refactoring.
661 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
662
663 [`hints_sleep`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/92b483c4a4f6da0b2c998267e0f01d3d999f93b6/documentation/options.md#hints_sleep

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

737
738 ### 0.9.0 (2015-12-02)
739
740 - Fixed: Links with the `onclick` attribute can now be opened in new tabs again.
741 (Regression since 0.8.0.)
742 - Fixed: The text size in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now
743 correctly resized.
744 - Added: The `gH` command. It opens the back/forward button context menu in the
745 middle of the window, allowing you to choose a history entry with the arrow
746 keys and `<enter>`.
747
748 ### 0.8.0 (2015-12-01)
749
750 - Fixed: VimFx now works properly in tabs moved to other windows.
751 - Fixed: An unreliable check for multi-process mode has been eliminated, fixing
752 various problems for some users.
753 - Fixed: VimFx’s toolbar button now changes color correctly when switching
754 between blacklisted and non-blacklisted tabs.
755 - Fixed: Dead keys now work out of the box on Windows.
756 - Improved: Links with the `onclick` attribute (abused as buttons) can no longer
757 get the same hint as another link.
758 - Added: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (shown by pressing `?`) is now
759 searchable.
760 - Added: The `g/` command. It’s like `/` but searches links only.
761
762 - Added: [Marks].
763
764 - Use `ma` to mark the current scroll position and `` `a `` to return to it.
765 (You may substitute `a` with any key press.)
766 - Use ``` `` ``` to return to the position before the last `gg`, `G`, `0`,
767 `$`, `/`, `n`, `N` or `` ` ``. (You can change this mark using the
768 [`last_scroll_position_mark`] pref.)
769
770 - Added: Window commands.
771
772 - `w`: Open new window.
773 - `W`: Open new private window.
774 - `gw`: Move tab to new window.
775 - `gF`: Follow link in new window.
776

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

844 ### 0.6.2 (2015-11-11)
845
846 - Improved: If the entire page isn’t scrollable, the largest scrollable element
847 is scrolled instead.
848 - Fixed: VimFx’s keyboard shortcuts now works on slowly loading pages.
849 - Fixed: Numbers may now be used as shortcut keys (overriding counts).
850 - Fixed: The toolbar button’s icon is now correctly sized in high DPI.
851 - Fixed: Hint markers are now correctly positioned when zooming using the “Zoom
852 text only” option.
853 - Fixed: The `P` command now works with the InstantFox add-on.
854
855 ### 0.6.1 (2015-11-10)
856
857 - Fixed: If you customized the “esc” command before VimFx 0.6.0 it should now
858 work as expected.
859 - Fixed: `<tab>` now works as expected in the location bar and in the dev tools.
860 - Fixed: Light-weight themes can no longer make VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
861 dialog and hint markers unreadable.
862 - Added: The [notifications\_enabled] option.
863
864 [notifications\_enabled]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/56c4b7c514ea8b58d2cdcecf3d2654648c48ca31/documentation/options.md#notifications_enabled
865
866 ### 0.6.0 (2015-11-09)
867
868 ##### Most important (breaking) changes
869
870 - VimFx now works properly with **any keyboard layout.** Users of **multiple
871 layouts** should enable the **[ignore keyboard layout] option.** #249 #259
872
873 - Features related to disabling VimFx, and to the [toolbar button]:
874
875 - **Insert Mode** has been renamed to **_Ignore_ mode.**
876 - **[Blacklisted][blacklist] sites** now **enter Ignore mode automatically,**
877 instead of being specially handled.
878 - The feature to click the toolbar button (or press `<a-V>`) to **disable
879 VimFx** has been **removed.** Use **Ignore mode** (`i`) and the
880 **[blacklist] instead.**
881 - The **toolbar button** is now **red in Ignore mode** (which also means that
882 it is red on blacklisted sites) and green otherwise (never grey anymore).
883 - The toolbar button no longer offers to (un-)blacklist the current domain.
884 (Head into VimFx’s settings page in the Add-ons Manager and add
885 `*currentdomain.com*` to the [blacklist] option yourself instead.)
886
887 (See [commit 3552282] for more information.)
888
889 - **Some default shortcuts have changed,** mostly because they conflicted with
890 standard Firefox shortcuts: #308
891
892 - `<c-J>` → `gJ`
893
894 - `<c-K>` → `gK`
895
896 - `g^` and `gH` → `g0`
897
898 `g^` now selects the first _non pinned_ tab instead, while `g0`
899 selects the first tab regardless of whether it is pinned or not. #317
900
901 - `<c-e>` (alias for `j`) and `<c-y>` (alias for `k`) have been removed.
902
903 - `<c-f>` → `<space>` and `<c-b>` → `<s-space>`
904
905 - `vf` → `zf`
906
907 This frees up `v` for future shortcuts (instead making `z` a
908 “namespace” key, just like in Vim).
909
910 - To **exit Ignore mode:** `<escape>` → `<s-escape>`. This is because Ignore
911 mode has replaced the disable feature, as well as the special blacklist
912 state (see above). Sites are likely to use `<escape>` but not `<s-escape>`.
913 (In a way, this new role of Ignore mode also means that the old (many times
914 broken) shortcut to disable VimFx (`<a-V>`) has been replaced by `i`.) #64
915 \#375 #432
916
917 - VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now help only, and more accessible.
918 To **customize keyboard shortcuts,** go to VimFx’s settings page **in the
919 Add-ons Manager,** just like you would to customize other settings. Also,
920 **commas** between every key are **no longer needed:** Type `gJ` instead of
921 `g,J`.
922
923 - For performance reasons, **Hint markers** are now placed vertically **centered
924 instead of at the top** of the element. Don’t be surprised if you see the same
925 hint repeated several times**—links that go to the same place now get the same
926 hint.** The “Smart hints” option has been removed—hints are _always_ smart
927 now, and a lot smarter than before. Finally, hints now also work in the new
928 tab page, the Add-ons Manager and the preferences page. If you want to, you
929 can read more about [the `f` commands]. \#51 #60 #176 #320 #325 #468 #471 #475
930
931 - The **`F`** command now _always_ opens tabs in new **background** tabs, while
932 **`gf`** has been added to open tabs in new **foreground** tabs. #227 #464
933
934 - **Autofocus prevention** is now **off by default.** One of VimFx’s core
935 philosophies is to be nice to your browser habits. Some find autofocus
936 prevention too big a change. Turn it on again if you like it! By the way,
937 autofocus prevention now works much more reliably and should not cause issues
938 with other extensions. #497 #541
939
940 - The **“Scroll step”** option has been **removed**. The scrolling commands that
941 used it now **work like the arrow keys instead,** and are customized just like
942 them. See [scrolling prefs] for more information.
943
944 - Speaking of scrolling, **which elements scrolls** when you use VimFx’s
945 scrolling commands **has changed.** See [scrolling commands] for more
946 information.
947
948 ##### New features
949
950 - New commands:
951
952 - `gp` pins or unpins the current tab. (Also see `g^` and `g0` mentioned
953 above.) #121
954 - `yt` duplicates the current tab. #121
955 - `0` and `^` scroll to the far left, and `$` scrolls to the far right.
956 - [`gi`] has finally been implemented. #47
957 - [Ignore mode `<s-f1>`] let you run a Normal mode command without exiting
958 Ignore mode.
959
960 - In Hints mode you can now hold ctrl and alt to change behavior of the matched
961 marker. Hold shift to temporarily make the hints see-through. See [the `f`
962 commands] for more information. #220 #421 #484
963
964 - Some commands now accept [counts]. #374
965
966 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that work inside text inputs. See the
967 [`<force>`] key for more information. #258
968
969 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that the page can override. See the
970 [`<late>`] key for more information.
971
972 - A number of [advanced options] have been added. Rather than listing everything
973 regarding them here, follow that link if you’re interested. #452 #489
974
975 - You may now, if you want to, configure VimFx through a [config file], using
976 the new [public API]. Customizing VimFx through a config file also gives extra
977 abilities, such as [site-specific options][option-overrides] and [disabling
978 certain commands on certain sites][key-overrides]. It also allows to add
979 [custom commands] \(and other extensions to extend VimFx). #158 #235 #255 #261
980 \#300 #408 #445 #490 #515
981
982 - It is now easier to customize VimFx through custom [styling]. An example is
983 changing the way hint markers look. #220 #233 #424 #432 #465
984
985 - VimFx now has [documentation] and a [wiki].
986
987 - A few new locales were added:
988
989 - fr. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r)!
990 - pt-BR. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)!
991 - sv-SE. Thanks to Andreas Lindhé (@lindhe)!
992
993 ##### Improvements
994
995 - VimFx is now multi-process/Electrolysis/e10s compatible! This means that you
996 can run VimFx on a version of Firefox with multi-process enabled without
997 issues, and that we’re future proof for the day when Firefox becomes
998 multi-process by default. Best of all, it also made VimFx more reliable in
999 non-multi-process (“regular”) Firefox. #378
1000
1001 - The `[` and `]` commands are now smarter, recognizing more links to the
1002 previous/next page correctly. You may read more about [previous/next page
1003 patterns]. #396
1004
1005 - The `n` and `N` commands now notify you when they wrap around the page, or the
1006 phrase you searched for could not be found. #398
1007
1008 - _All_ shortcuts in _all modes_ can now be customized. For example, this allows
1009 you to disable VimFx’s Vim-style `<enter>` behavior in the find bar. #222 #390
1010 \#421
1011
1012 - The `p` and `P` commands are now smarter regarding whether to treat the
1013 clipboard contents as a URL or a search, by working exactly like pasting in
1014 the location bar. They also now read the selection clipboard, if available.
1015 \#353 #382
1016
1017 - VimFx’s toolbar button is now properly implemented. #303 #349 #383
1018
1019 - Most locales were updated. Thanks to our awesome [translators]!
1020
1021 ##### Minor bug fixes
1022
1023 - VimFx now works correctly in tabs dragged to other windows. #57
1024 - The `p` command is no longer broken. #494
1025 - Non-ASCII shortcut keys now work properly. #433
1026 - The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog can no longer be covered by page elements.
1027 \#477
1028 - Hint markers can no longer be covered by page elements.
1029 - VimFx no longer causes scripts on icloud.com to get stuck in an infinite loop.

1055
1056 ### 0.5.17 (2015-01-23)
1057
1058 - Fixed: The hints generation no longer crashes on some pages (regression since
1059 version 0.5.15).
1060
1061 ### 0.5.16 (2015-01-22)
1062
1063 - Fixed: The toolbar button no longer throws errors. (This fix should have been
1064 in 0.5.15 but was forgotten. Luckily an AMO reviewer found it.)
1065
1066 ### 0.5.15 (2015-01-21)
1067
1068 - Improved: This version is now forwards-compatible with the upcoming version
1069 0.6.0. Downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.14 or older might cause VimFx to crash,
1070 but downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.15 is safe.
1071 - Fixed: Non-hintchars key presses in hints mode are now suppressed. They used
1072 to be passed along to the browser, which could confusingly activate site
1073 commands.
1074 - Fixed: The 'f' command now always opens links in the same tab. Links used to
1075 be able to force a new tab or window.
1076 - Fixed: Pressing 'Esc' in the location bar now restores the URL, as is the
1077 default behaviour of Firefox. You may now also close Firefox dialogs using
1078 'Esc'.
1079 - Improved: Updated the de locale. Thanks to Alexander Haeussler!
1080 - Improved: Updated the pl locale. Thanks to morethanoneanimal!
1081
1082 ### 0.5.14 (2014-08-16)
1083
1084 - Fixed: Locales should now work properly.
1085 - Improved: Updated the zh-CN locale (@mozillazg).
1086 - Improved: Updated the de locale (@Kambfhase).
1087 - Added: Japanese locale (@pluser).
1088 - Fixed: If you switched to another tab or window while an `<input>` element
1089 was focused and then switched back, the `<input>` element got blurred, while
1090 it should have stayed focused. This caused the auto-type feature of KeePassX
1091 to break.
1092
1093 ### 0.5.13 (2014-08-02)
1094
1095 - Fixed: The vote button on StackExchange sites are now markable again.
1096 - Improved: Detection of previous/next links. Should work better on gmail now.
1097 - Fixed: It is now possible to use Enter/Return in keyboard shortcuts.
1098 - Improved: The n/N commands (etc.) now work even if you didn’t open the finbar
1099 using the VimFx command (such as the default key binding ctrl+f, or by
1100 clicking a menu item).
1101 - Improved: It is now possible to blur text inputs without sending Esc to the
1102 page, which could cause dialogs etc. to annoyingly close.
1103 - Improved: Updated the el-GR locale (@sirodoht).
1104 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention sometimes made text inputs impossible to focus
1105 until you reloaded the page.
1106 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now works on more sites than before.
1107 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now prevents _all_ automatic focusing (not
1108 just when the page loads). This makes devdocs.io much easier to use.
1109 - Added: When viewing images directly and the image has been resized to fit the
1110 screen the image is now markable, allowing you to toggle zoom on it using the
1111 keyboard.
1112 - Fixed: It is no longer possible to add conflicting shortcuts (such as adding
1113 'a' when 'af' and 'as' are already present).
1114
1115 ### 0.5.12 (2014-06-01)
1116
1117 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention got stuck sometimes, making it impossible to
1118 focus inputs.
1119
1120 ### 0.5.11 (2014-06-01)
1121
1122 - Fixed: The focus search bar command was broken.
1123 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention was broken.
1124 - Fixed: The top bar on YouTube could not be accessed by VimFx.
1125 - Fixed: You can no longer add blank hotkeys.
1126 - Improved: Tab Groups are supported.
1127 - Improved: Matching of previous/next links should be more reliable.
1128 - Improved: A few minor things.
1129
1130 ### 0.5.10 (2014-05-07)
1131
1132 - Fixed yet another bug related to the default preferences
1133
1134 ### 0.5.9 (2014-05-04)
1135
1136 - Fixed a bug with default preferences not being set
1137 - Fixed gg and G to be faster
1138
1139 ### 0.5.8 (2014-04-18)
1140
1141 - AMO Preliminary Review bug fix (sorry for such long delay)
1142
1143 ### 0.5.7 (2014-03-03)
1144
1145 - Bug fix
1146
1147 ### 0.5.6 (2014-02-26)
1148
1149 - Updated some translations
1150 - Updated pagination patterns and logic
1151
1152 ### 0.5.5 (2014-01-03)
1153
1154 - Hotfix release to address a bug that has been introduced in 0.5.4
1155
1156 ### 0.5.4 (2014-01-03)
1157
1158 - Fix for popup passthrough mode stucking
1159 - Make toolbar button click depend on current mode
1160 - Higher weight markers should not be overlapped
1161 - Refactor find mode to use Firefox native search bar
1162 - Bump minimum required Firefox version to 25
1163 - Added commands to go in the URL path
1164 - Added commands to navigate previous and next links with customizable link
1165 patterns
1166 - Use Firefox 24+ native console API
1167 - Update zh-CN localization
1168
1169 ### 0.5.3 (2013-10-16)
1170
1171 - Lots of refactoring
1172 - Insert mode (`i` command)
1173 - Follow multiple links with `af` command
1174 - Hint marker rotation with `space` while in hints mode
1175
1176 ### 0.5.1 (2013-08-21)
1177
1178 - Fixed regression with stylesheets
1179 - Updated icon
1180
1181 ### 0.5 (2013-08-19)
1182
1183 - Added command to focus search bar: `O`
1184 - Added commands to stop loading current page and all pages: `s` and `as`
1185 - Invisible elements will not get hint markers
1186 - Compatibility with Firefox 25
1187 - Simple shortcut customization with UI in Help dialog
1188 - Use Huffman coding algorithm for hint markers generation which results in
1189 shorter links
1190 - Implemented Bloom filters to achieve shorter hints for those shortcuts that
1191 are used often
1192 - Reimplemented scrolling - now works with pages where window is not scrollable
1193 - Find disabled on non HTML documents
1194 - Find string is now global for all windows.
1195 - Fixed logic of locale discovery. Now we rely on general.useragent.locale
1196 Firefox preference for current locale
