101 - Fixed: VimFx should now work on Waterfox again. Tested with Waterfox 56,
102 Firefox 56, Firefox 64 and Waterfox 68. Thanks to Tobias Girstmair (@girst)
103 and @matsuhav!
104
105 ### 0.20.15 (2018-08-06)
106
107 - Fixed: Find mode now works properly again. Thanks to @matsuhav!
108
109 ### 0.20.14 (2018-05-15)
110
111 - Fixed: VimFx should now work properly in Firefox 61 (if you have enabled
112 legacy extensions) as well as older versions of Firefox. The latest few
113 versions have been a bit buggy, but things should work better now. Thanks to
114 Kevin Cox (@kevincox) and 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
115
116 ### 0.20.13 (2018-05-06)
117
118 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 61 (if you have enabled legacy
119 extensions). Thanks to Kevin Cox (@kevincox), 依云 (@lilydjwg) and Jan
120 Kokemüller (@jiixyj)!
121
122 ### 0.20.12 (2018-01-23)
123
124 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 59 (if you have enabled legacy
125 extensions). Thanks to Kevin Cox (@kevincox) and 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
126 - Updated locale: es. Thanks to @strel!
127
128 ### 0.20.11 (2017-11-19)
129
130 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 58 (if you have enabled legacy
131 extensions). Thanks to 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
132
133 ### 0.20.10 (2017-03-25)
134
135 - Improved: Autofocus is now prevented when going back in history on pages that
136 use `history.pushState()` (in other words, on the 'popstate' event).
137 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!
138
139 ### 0.20.9 (2017-02-21)
140
141 - Fixed: The `yy` command now works as expected in Reader Mode.
142
143 ### 0.20.8 (2017-01-14)
144
145 - Improved: The scrolling commands now scroll the closest scrollable parent of
146 the currently focused element (if it is not scrollable itself). This is
147 noticeable for Twitter’s modals, which are often scrollable. No longer any
148 need to use the `f` or `ef` commands to scroll those modals!
149
150 ### 0.20.7 (2017-01-07)
151
152 - Improved: The `[` and `]` commands now work in Google search results.
153 - Improved: You can now show the “emoji picker” of the “like” button on Facebook
154 by using the `ef` command.
155 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @interleaved!
156
157 ### 0.20.6 (2016-12-16)
158
159 - Fixed: The `'`, `g[` and `g]` commands no longer crash. (Regression since
160 0.20.5.)
161 - Fixed: The `ef` command can now focus elements in deeply nested frames again.
162 (Regression since 0.19.0.)
163 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` and `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` are now properly
164 undone when reloading a config file (`gC`).
165 - Improved: Hint markers for elements with multiline text no longer cover the
166 text.
167 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @interleaved!
168
169 ### 0.20.5 (2016-12-04)
170
171 - Fixed: Scrolling by holding `d`, `u`, `<space>` or `<s-space>` no longer goes
172 slower and slower (and finally grinding to a halt) on long pages with lots of
173 elements. (See also the [`scroll.repeat_timeout`] pref.)
174 - Improved: All config API functions now validate all their parameters properly.
175 This provides a better user experience, and, most importantly, prevents VimFx
176 from crashing on certain invalid input.
177
178 [`scroll.repeat_timeout`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/58deb3f7b7c470a4d705f1dabf7aa13e095e8d09/documentation/options.md#smooth-scrolling
179
180 ### 0.20.4 (2016-11-16)
181
182 - Fixed: The `n` and `N` commands now work in Firefox’s PDF viewer.
183 - Fixed: The `eb` command can now click the tab bar scroll buttons.
184 - Fixed: Elements marked by the `eb` command now correctly get hints based on
185 their area again.
186 - Improved: The `eb` command now favors the browser tabs and their close
187 buttons, giving them better hints.
188 - Improved: The hints given to the browser tabs by the `eb` command are now
189 consistent no matter how many tabs you have open. This means that the first
190 tab always gets the same hint, the second tab always get the same hint, and so
191 on.
192 - Improved: Hint markers are now placed next to the text of the element if
193 appropriate. For example, the hint marker for a button with centered text is
194 now placed just to the left of the text rather than at the left edge of
195 button. This is nice because it means that hint markers usually end up where
196 you were just reading.
197 - Improved: The positioning of hint markers has been fine-tuned by a pixel or so
198 in some cases.
199 - Improved: Custom styled checkboxes and radio buttons now get hint markers
200 faster (they are now found in the first pass rather than the second).
201 - Improved: Compatibility with the [Tab Center] add-on.
202 - Improved: Blurring the location bar is now more consistent. Previously, its
203 text wasn’t reset if the autocomplete popup was open when you pressed
204 `<escape>` to blur it.
205 - Fixed: An edge case where the wrong hint markers could be highlighted.
206
207 [Tab Center]: https://testpilot.firefox.com/experiments/tab-center/
208
209 ### 0.20.3 (2016-10-22)
210
211 - Improved: Full page scrolling now recognizes the fixed footer on medium.com.
212 - Fixed: Scrollable element can now be focused with the `f` command again (not
213 just with the `ef` command). (Regression since 0.19.0.)
214 - Fixed: `<escape>` is no longer accidentally leaked to the page when used to
215 blur text inputs. This allows blurring text inputs in modals without closing
216 the modal (which `<escape>` commonly does otherwise).
217
218 ### 0.20.2 (2016-10-16)
219
220 - Fixed: Text inputs and links inside frames can now be focused using hint
221 commands again. (Regression since 0.19.0.)
222 - Improved: Previously focused text inputs inside frames no longer steal the
223 focus when entering Caret mode in that frame.
224 - Improved: When several hint markers have the same hint (because their links
225 go to the same place), the _largest_ of those links is now chosen when
226 activating that hint. This might be noticeable via focus styling.
227 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @av2000ii!
228
229 ### 0.20.1 (2016-10-09)
230
231 - Improved: Caret mode is now a bit more robust. It can no longer make you end
232 up with [Firefox’s own Caret mode] accidentally enabled.
233 - Improved: If you try use for example `<ctrl>-j` as a keyboard shortcut, VimFx
234 will now tell you that you probably want `<c-j>` instead.
235 - Fixed: Using a keyboard shortcut to switch keyboard layout in GNOME while
236 inside a text input no longer causes the focus of that text input to be lost
237 when the Prevent autofocus option is enabled.
238 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @av2000ii!
239
240 [Firefox’s own Caret mode]: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Accessibility_features_of_Firefox#Allow_text_to_be_selected_with_the_keyboard
241
242 ### 0.20.0 (2016-10-02)
243
244 - Added: The `g[` and `g]` commands, which let you scroll to previous and next
245 scroll positions of the current page. This is similar to Vim’s jump list.
246 - Added: The `/` mark. Pressing `'/` takes you to the scroll position before the
247 last `/`, `a/` or `g/`.
248 - Fixed: Pressing `''` multiple times in a row now flips back and forth
249 between two scroll positions as expected.
250 - Fixed: Version 0.19.0 claimed to include the following improvement: “The hint
251 marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for a larger
252 element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).” However, a silly
253 mistake caused that improvement not to work. Now it does. For real.
254 - Fixed: All VimFx commands that copy text to the clipboard are now made sure to
255 also copy to the “selection clipboard” (if your system has such a thing). For
256 example, if you copy text using the `yv` command, the `p` command now uses
257 that copied text as expected.
258
259 ### 0.19.1 (2016-09-26)
260
261 - Fixed: The `'` command no longer crashes. (Regression since 0.19.0.)
262
263 ### 0.19.0 (2016-09-25)
264
265 #### Changes and improvements to Hints mode
266
267 **New feature:** Hint markers can now be filtered by element text, similar to
268 Vimium, Vimperator and Pentadactyl. This is useful for people who simply prefer
269 that workflow, and for clicking tiny pagination links (simply type its number!).
270
271 By default, filtering by element text is done by typing _uppercase_ characters
272 (hold down shift!). All characters other than the hint characters are now used
273 to filter hint markers by element text (rather than just being ignored). Do you
274 prefer filtering by element text, but dislike typing uppercase letters? Have a
275 look at how [hint characters] work to make things the other way around!
276
277 The markers with the best hint are now highlighted with a different color. You
278 may at any time press `<enter>` to activate those markers (or `<c-enter>` or
279 `<a-enter>` to change where and how to open links, just like you can hold ctrl
280 or alt for the last hint character).
281
282 Because of the above new features, the following default **Hints mode shortcuts
283 had to be changed:**
284
285 - `<space>` → `<c-space>` (`<s-space>` is left untouched)
286 - `<s->` → `<c-s->` (hold ctrl _and_ shift to peek through hint markers)
287 - `<enter>` → `<up>`
288 - `<c-enter>` → `<c-backspace>`
289
290 To make it easier to see the element text, hint markers are now nudged to the
291 left if they cover the text.
292
293 Other hint marker improvements:
294
295 - Hint markers are now 20% smaller by default. While trying to match text sizes
296 set by your operating system, they ended up a bit too large on most systems.
297 Check out the [Styling] documentation if you’d like to change the font size.
298 - Hint markers now have stronger contrast between the background color and the
299 text color, which should make them easier to read.
300 - The CSS for hint markers have been improved, making it easier to use custom
301 [Styling].
302 - When several elements have the same area, the best hint is now correctly given
303 to the _first_ of those elements. Previously, it happened to be the other way
304 around.
305 - The hint marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for
306 a larger element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).
307 - Hint markers are now better positioned when having zoomed the page in or out.
308 - Hints mode is now more robust in general. Several race conditions have been
309 fixed.
310
311 [hint characters]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8bafdf0454043c1630bac8b13d13f1fb4e5ee9e7/documentation/options.md#hint-characters
312 [Styling]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8bafdf0454043c1630bac8b13d13f1fb4e5ee9e7/documentation/styling.md
313
314 #### Other updates
315
316 - Added: The ability to **export, import and reset all** VimFx options. There
317 are three shiny new buttons for this in VimFx’s options page in the Add-ons
318 Manager!
319 - Added: The `gB` command, which lets you **quickly blacklist** (and
320 un-blacklist) sites.
321 - Added: The `ec` command, for opening the context menu of elements.
322 - Added: The `ep` command, for opening links in new private windows.
323 - Improved: `h`, `l`, `j` and `k` now feel more like scrolling with the arrow
324 keys when held down, by boosting the scrolling speed. See the
325 [`scroll.horizontal_boost` and `scroll.vertical_boost`][scroll-boost] options
326 for more information.
327 - Fixed: VimFx’s find bar integration is now much more robust. Most notably, if
328 you start typing directly after pressing `/` and Firefox is slow at opening
329 the find bar, your keypresses can no longer trigger VimFx commands or Firefox
330 built-in commands.
331 - Improved: VimFx no longer leaks keypresses to the web page in some modes. (For
332 example, counts in Caret mode).
333 - Improved: The `eb` command now finds more clickable elements in the devtools.
334 - Changed: `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` no longer lets you easily break for example
335 Hints mode, by now only being applied to Normal mode. You might need to change
336 your matchers from `(location, mode) => ...` to simply `location => ...`.
337 (Breaking API change.)
338 - Changed: The object passed to custom commands (and custom modes) no longer
339 contains a `uiEvent` property. Instead, there’s an `event` property. This
340 property can be used the same way if you check `vim.isUIEvent(event)` first.
341 (Breaking API change.)
342
343 [scroll-boost]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8bafdf0454043c1630bac8b13d13f1fb4e5ee9e7/documentation/options.md#scrollhorizontal_boost-and-scrollvertical_boost
344
345 ### 0.18.1 (2016-08-27)
346
347 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` no longer crashes on startup.
348 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` can now override the `prevent_autofocus`
349 pref again.
350
351 ### 0.18.0 (2016-08-20)
352
353 #### Changed default shortcuts
354
355 Some default keyboard shortcuts have been changed.
356
357 - Hint commands. Many of the old ones were difficult to remember, and there was
358 no space for adding new ones.
359
360 - `gf` → `et` (t as in tab)
361 - `gF` → `ew` (w as in window)
362 - `zf` → `ef` (f as in focus)
363 - `zF` → `eb` (b as in browser)
364 - `zv` → `av` (you actually select _all_ of the element’s text)
365
366 (`f`, `yf`, `af`, `v` and `yv` stay unchanged.)
367
368 There is a longer [explanation of these new defaults][hint-shortcuts] in the
369 documentation.
370
371 - `zr` → `gC`. `zr` was the only shortcut starting with `z`. This frees that key
372 up for other uses.
373
374 - `` ` `` → `'`. The `` ` `` shortcut (“scroll to mark”) as well as the `` ` ``
375 mark (“last position mark”) have both been changed to `'`. Both `` ` `` and
376 `'` are used in Vim. `'` is a better default, because it is easier to
377 type–both on an en-US QWERTY keyboard and, more importantly, on some
378 international layouts, such as the sv-SE QWERTY layout.
379
380 Note: If you miss Firefox’s default `'` shortcut to open the Quick Find bar
381 (which is now overridden), remember that VimFx provides `g/` which does the
382 same thing. (You can of course also change VimFx’s shortcuts.)
383
384 See also issue [#788].

387 [#788]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/issues/788
388
389 #### Other updates
390
391 - Added: It is now possible to create [custom hint commands].
392 - Fixed: The bottom-right corner of the page scrollbars can now be used with the
393 mouse again.
394 - Fixed: The toolbar button now correctly toggles VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts
395 dialog again.
396 - Updated locales: fr, ru. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r) and Nicholas
397 Guriev (@mymedia2)!
398
399 [custom hint commands]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/e8d9df31dd5c8df999ac22e3b3b8d548a68c6fa7/documentation/api.md#custom-hint-commands
400
401 ### 0.17.4 (2016-07-11)
402
403 - Improved: The usage of modifier keys in Hints mode is now shown in VimFx’s
404 Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog. The functionality has been there for a long
405 time, but should now be easier to find. Thanks to our awesome translators,
406 the new help text is already available in most supported locales!
407 - Improved: If you submit a form while still being inside one of its text
408 inputs, that text input is now automatically blurred. This lets you use VimFx
409 commands while waiting for the form to submit without having to press
410 `<escape>` first.
411 - Improved: The `gu` command now works better on some pages, by preserving a
412 trailing slash. Thanks to @sinkuu!
413 - Improved: VimFx now recognizes text areas in the TYPO3 CMS.
414 - Improved: The `<escape>` command and the toolbar button now let you escape
415 back to Normal mode if VimFx ever gets stuck thinking that you are typing in a
416 text input.
417
418 ### 0.17.3 (2016-06-27)
419
420 - Improved: The `zF` command can now open even more dropdown menus of buttons.
421
422 ### 0.17.2 (2016-06-19)
423
424 - Improved: The `zF` command now works with more buttons and is able to open
425 dropdown menus of buttons.
426 - Fixed: The `f` commands now recognize more file upload buttons.
427 - Fixed: Rotating hint markers now works more as expected after having entered a
428 few hint chars.
429 - Fixed: Scrolling now works in SVG documents.
430 - Fixed: Opening links in new tabs in Firefox 50.
431 - Updated locales: pt-BR and ru. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)
432 and Nicholas Guriev (@mymedia2)!
433
434 ### 0.17.1 (2016-06-12)
435
436 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer accidentally double-clicks instead of
437 single-clicking. Thanks to Alan Wu (@XrXr)!
438 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer crashes in Firefox 49+.
439 - Fixed: The “URL popup,” shown when hovering or focusing links, now appears
440 again when focusing links using `zf` (regression since 0.17.0).
441 - Updated locale: it. Thanks to Carlo Bertoldi (@cbertoldi)!
442
443 ### 0.17.0 (2016-06-08)
444
445 - Fixed: VimFx no longer scrolls smaller elements on a page instead of the
446 entire page on some sites.
447 - Improved: The `/`, `n` and `N` have been drastically sped up (when
448 [`find_from_top_of_viewport`][find_from_top_of_viewport-1] is on). Previously,
449 they appeared to freeze on some sites, but not anymore.
450 - Improved: You can no longer accidentally trigger VimFx between pressing `/`
451 and the find bar input being is focused.
452 - Improved: The `n` and `N` commands are now more robust.
453 - Improved: “Fullscreen” buttons and “Copy to clipboard” buttons can now be
454 activated the `f` command. Thanks to Alan Wu (@XrXr)!
455 - Changed: After having pressed `m` or `` ` `` VimFx no longer waits
456 indefinitely for you to press a mark key. Instead, the [timeout] option is
457 honored.
458 - Changed: After having pressed `m` or `` ` `` you can now press `<escape>` to
459 abort those commands.
460 - Changed: Find mode is no longer shown in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
461 dialog, to reduce clutter. (This can be changed through custom
462 [styling][styling-1].)
463 - Changed: The `?` command as well as the toolbar button now _toggle_ VimFx’s
464 Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (instead of always showing it, even if it was
465 already shown.)
466 - Changed: Counts are now ignored in Ignore mode. Previously, pressing number
467 keys would both send those key presses to the page _and_ contribute to the
468 count for commands (showing up in the bottom-right corner). This is no longer
469 the case.
470 - Updated locales: fr, zh-CN and zh-TW. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r),
471 @av2000ii and Robert Wang (@cyberrob)!

476
477 ### 0.16.1 (2016-05-29)
478
479 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer crashes (regression since 0.16.0).
480
481 ### 0.16.0 (2016-05-29)
482
483 - Fixed: The text input focus detection problems introduced in 0.15.1, which
484 sometimes caused VimFx commands to be triggered while typing in text inputs,
485 have been fixed.
486 - Improved: If you press `n` or `N` when there are are no matches for your
487 search, the find bar is no longer opened. Only a notification is shown. The
488 reliability of those notifications has also been improved.
489 - Improved: Hints mode now finds more links.
490 - Improved: Pressing `<c-enter>` in Hints mode now includes more elements.
491 - Updated locales: es, zh-CN. Thanks to @strel and @av2000ii!
492
493 ### 0.15.1 (2016-05-22)
494
495 - Improved: Better hints on Twitter.
496 - Improved: Compatibility with the [Evernote Web Clipper] add-on (and
497 potentially other add-ons with similar UI).
498 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!
499

501
502 ### 0.15.0 (2016-05-18)
503
504 - Improved: Hint markers now appear up to twice as fast on many pages. This is
505 done by creating the hint markers in two phases. Most are created in the
506 first, fast, phase. The rest take the same time as older VimFx versions to
507 show up.
508 - Fixed: VimFx no longer triggers commands while typing in fancy text inputs on
509 some sites, such as when composing a new tweet on Twitter. (See also the
510 [`blur_timeout`] pref.)
511 - Changed: The `<c-enter>` Hints mode command no longer _replaces_ all hint
512 markers on screen (with new ones for all elements on screen). Instead, it
513 _toggles_ your current hint markers with ones for all _other_ elements on
514 screen.
515 - Changed: There was a breaking change to the [`vimfx.setHintMatcher`] function
516 of the `frame.js` config file API. It no longer receives and returns an object
517 (of the shape `{type, semantic}`), but instead simply receives and returns the
518 `type` of the element.
519 - Improved: Some internal robustness refactoring.
520 - Updated locales: de, id, nl and zh-CN. Thanks to @just-barcodes, Yoppy
521 Halilintar (@comepradz), @HJTP, @av2000ii and @mozillazg.

525
526 ### 0.14.3 (2016-05-08)
527
528 - Fixed: Version 0.14.2 attempted to fix smooth scrolling speed in newer Firefox
529 versions. However, there was a tiny typo that caused the fix not to work. That
530 typo has been corrected.
531
532 ### 0.14.2 (2016-05-08)
533
534 - Fixed: Smooth scrolling speed is now correct again in newer Firefox versions.
535 - Fixed: The `yv` Caret mode command now only copies text that you can see on
536 screen (not any hidden text that might be on the page), making it truly work
537 like `zv` followed by `y`, as intended. This problem was very noticeable on
538 Slack. This also improves copying of 'contenteditable' elements using `yf`.
539 - Fixed: `<escape>` and arrow key handling as well as hint markers in the
540 devtools now work correctly again in newer Firefox versions.
541 - Fixed: VimFx no longer makes it impossible to open the Developer Toolbar.
542 - Improved: VimFx now ignores `<numlock>` and `<capslock>`. If your keyboard
543 sends `<numlock>` before some symbols, such as `<numlock>$` instead of just
544 `$`, shortcuts like `gx$` now work out of the box. This also means that you
545 can use `<capslock>` instead of `<shift>` when typing the `J` in `gJ`, for
546 example.
547 - Improved: Some minor cosmetic tweaks in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
548 dialog.
549
550 ### 0.14.1 (2016-04-30)
551
552 - Fixed: The Find commands (such as `/`, `n` and `N`) no longer crash on some
553 sites (regression since 0.14.0).
554
555 ### 0.14.0 (2016-04-29)
556
557 - Added: [Caret mode], which lets you copy text from web pages using the
558 keyboard.
559 - Improved: The Find commands (such as `/`, `n` and `N`) now search from the top
560 of the viewport, instead of from the top of the document, which is more
561 Vim-like and less disorienting. To read more about it (or to return to the
562 Firefox default behavior) please see the [`find_from_top_of_viewport`] pref.
563 - Improved: Compatibility with the [BackTrack Tab History] add-on.
564 - Added: The `<c-enter>` Hints mode command, which creates hint markers for
565 _all_ elements.
566 - Fixed: `__dirname` inside config files now works on Windows. Thanks to
567 Zhong Jianxin (@azuwis)!
568 - Fixed: Unnecessary full-page hint markers on some sites, such as Hackernews,
569 no longer appear.

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

669
670 ### 0.12.0 (2016-02-03)
671
672 - Improved: More clickable elements are now recognized. Most notably, elements
673 with click event listeners added by JavaScript now get hints.
674 - Improved: Autofocus prevention after using the `[` and `]` commands.
675 - Added: In VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (which can be opened by
676 pressing `?`) you can now click on any command to open VimFx’s settings page
677 in the Add-ons Manager and automatically select the text input for that
678 command, letting you edit its shortcuts. Tip: Use the `zF` command to click
679 without using the mouse.
680 - Changed: Autofocus is no longer prevented in Firefox internal pages, such as
681 `about:preferences`, `about:addons` and `about:config` (as well as other XUL
682 pages).
683 - Fixed: VimFx and the Beyond Australis extension do not conflict with each
684 other anymore.
685 - Fixed: The `gH` command no longer nags you about “No back/forward history”
686 even though there is.
687 - Added: The `gl` command now takes a [count][gl-count].
688 - Improved: Optimized CPU usage in Hints mode. (See also the [`hints_sleep`]
689 pref.)
690 - Improved: The `H` and `L` commands should now be more reliable in Firefox 43
691 and later.
692 - Changed: There was a tiny breaking change to the Public API, though I doubt it
693 will affect anyone. (See [commit 0ca807605e] if you’re especially interested.)
694 - Improved: _Several_ minor things, and some really nice internal refactoring.
695 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
696
697 [`hints_sleep`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/92b483c4a4f6da0b2c998267e0f01d3d999f93b6/documentation/options.md#hints_sleep

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

771
772 ### 0.9.0 (2015-12-02)
773
774 - Fixed: Links with the `onclick` attribute can now be opened in new tabs again.
775 (Regression since 0.8.0.)
776 - Fixed: The text size in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now
777 correctly resized.
778 - Added: The `gH` command. It opens the back/forward button context menu in the
779 middle of the window, allowing you to choose a history entry with the arrow
780 keys and `<enter>`.
781
782 ### 0.8.0 (2015-12-01)
783
784 - Fixed: VimFx now works properly in tabs moved to other windows.
785 - Fixed: An unreliable check for multi-process mode has been eliminated, fixing
786 various problems for some users.
787 - Fixed: VimFx’s toolbar button now changes color correctly when switching
788 between blacklisted and non-blacklisted tabs.
789 - Fixed: Dead keys now work out of the box on Windows.
790 - Improved: Links with the `onclick` attribute (abused as buttons) can no longer
791 get the same hint as another link.
792 - Added: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (shown by pressing `?`) is now
793 searchable.
794 - Added: The `g/` command. It’s like `/` but searches links only.
795
796 - Added: [Marks].
797
798 - Use `ma` to mark the current scroll position and `` `a `` to return to it.
799 (You may substitute `a` with any key press.)
800 - Use ``` `` ``` to return to the position before the last `gg`, `G`, `0`,
801 `$`, `/`, `n`, `N` or `` ` ``. (You can change this mark using the
802 [`last_scroll_position_mark`] pref.)
803
804 - Added: Window commands.
805
806 - `w`: Open new window.
807 - `W`: Open new private window.
808 - `gw`: Move tab to new window.
809 - `gF`: Follow link in new window.

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

877
878 ### 0.6.2 (2015-11-11)
879
880 - Improved: If the entire page isn’t scrollable, the largest scrollable element
881 is scrolled instead.
882 - Fixed: VimFx’s keyboard shortcuts now works on slowly loading pages.
883 - Fixed: Numbers may now be used as shortcut keys (overriding counts).
884 - Fixed: The toolbar button’s icon is now correctly sized in high DPI.
885 - Fixed: Hint markers are now correctly positioned when zooming using the “Zoom
886 text only” option.
887 - Fixed: The `P` command now works with the InstantFox add-on.
888
889 ### 0.6.1 (2015-11-10)
890
891 - Fixed: If you customized the “esc” command before VimFx 0.6.0 it should now
892 work as expected.
893 - Fixed: `<tab>` now works as expected in the location bar and in the dev tools.
894 - Fixed: Light-weight themes can no longer make VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
895 dialog and hint markers unreadable.
896 - Added: The [notifications\_enabled] option.
897
898 [notifications\_enabled]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/56c4b7c514ea8b58d2cdcecf3d2654648c48ca31/documentation/options.md#notifications_enabled
899
900 ### 0.6.0 (2015-11-09)
901
902 ##### Most important (breaking) changes
903
904 - VimFx now works properly with **any keyboard layout.** Users of **multiple
905 layouts** should enable the **[ignore keyboard layout] option.** #249 #259
906
907 - Features related to disabling VimFx, and to the [toolbar button]:
908
909 - **Insert Mode** has been renamed to **_Ignore_ mode.**
910 - **[Blacklisted][blacklist] sites** now **enter Ignore mode automatically,**
911 instead of being specially handled.
912 - The feature to click the toolbar button (or press `<a-V>`) to **disable
913 VimFx** has been **removed.** Use **Ignore mode** (`i`) and the
914 **[blacklist] instead.**
915 - The **toolbar button** is now **red in Ignore mode** (which also means that
916 it is red on blacklisted sites) and green otherwise (never grey anymore).
917 - The toolbar button no longer offers to (un-)blacklist the current domain.
918 (Head into VimFx’s settings page in the Add-ons Manager and add
919 `*currentdomain.com*` to the [blacklist] option yourself instead.)
920
921 (See [commit 3552282] for more information.)
922
923 - **Some default shortcuts have changed,** mostly because they conflicted with
924 standard Firefox shortcuts: #308
925
926 - `<c-J>` → `gJ`
927
928 - `<c-K>` → `gK`
929
930 - `g^` and `gH` → `g0`
931
932 `g^` now selects the first _non pinned_ tab instead, while `g0`
933 selects the first tab regardless of whether it is pinned or not. #317
934
935 - `<c-e>` (alias for `j`) and `<c-y>` (alias for `k`) have been removed.
936
937 - `<c-f>` → `<space>` and `<c-b>` → `<s-space>`
938
939 - `vf` → `zf`
940
941 This frees up `v` for future shortcuts (instead making `z` a
942 “namespace” key, just like in Vim).
943
944 - To **exit Ignore mode:** `<escape>` → `<s-escape>`. This is because Ignore
945 mode has replaced the disable feature, as well as the special blacklist
946 state (see above). Sites are likely to use `<escape>` but not `<s-escape>`.
947 (In a way, this new role of Ignore mode also means that the old (many times
948 broken) shortcut to disable VimFx (`<a-V>`) has been replaced by `i`.) #64
949 \#375 #432
950
951 - VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now help only, and more accessible.
952 To **customize keyboard shortcuts,** go to VimFx’s settings page **in the
953 Add-ons Manager,** just like you would to customize other settings. Also,
954 **commas** between every key are **no longer needed:** Type `gJ` instead of
955 `g,J`.
956
957 - For performance reasons, **Hint markers** are now placed vertically **centered
958 instead of at the top** of the element. Don’t be surprised if you see the same
959 hint repeated several times**—links that go to the same place now get the same
960 hint.** The “Smart hints” option has been removed—hints are _always_ smart
961 now, and a lot smarter than before. Finally, hints now also work in the new
962 tab page, the Add-ons Manager and the preferences page. If you want to, you
963 can read more about [the `f` commands]. \#51 #60 #176 #320 #325 #468 #471 #475
964
965 - The **`F`** command now _always_ opens tabs in new **background** tabs, while
966 **`gf`** has been added to open tabs in new **foreground** tabs. #227 #464
967
968 - **Autofocus prevention** is now **off by default.** One of VimFx’s core
969 philosophies is to be nice to your browser habits. Some find autofocus
970 prevention too big a change. Turn it on again if you like it! By the way,
971 autofocus prevention now works much more reliably and should not cause issues
972 with other extensions. #497 #541
973
974 - The **“Scroll step”** option has been **removed**. The scrolling commands that
975 used it now **work like the arrow keys instead,** and are customized just like
976 them. See [scrolling prefs] for more information.
977
978 - Speaking of scrolling, **which elements scrolls** when you use VimFx’s
979 scrolling commands **has changed.** See [scrolling commands] for more
980 information.
981
982 ##### New features
983
984 - New commands:
985
986 - `gp` pins or unpins the current tab. (Also see `g^` and `g0` mentioned
987 above.) #121
988 - `yt` duplicates the current tab. #121
989 - `0` and `^` scroll to the far left, and `$` scrolls to the far right.
990 - [`gi`] has finally been implemented. #47
991 - [Ignore mode `<s-f1>`] let you run a Normal mode command without exiting
992 Ignore mode.
993
994 - In Hints mode you can now hold ctrl and alt to change behavior of the matched
995 marker. Hold shift to temporarily make the hints see-through. See [the `f`
996 commands] for more information. #220 #421 #484
997
998 - Some commands now accept [counts]. #374
999
1000 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that work inside text inputs. See the
1001 [`<force>`] key for more information. #258
1002
1003 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that the page can override. See the
1004 [`<late>`] key for more information.
1005
1006 - A number of [advanced options] have been added. Rather than listing everything
1007 regarding them here, follow that link if you’re interested. #452 #489
1008
1009 - You may now, if you want to, configure VimFx through a [config file], using
1010 the new [public API]. Customizing VimFx through a config file also gives extra
1011 abilities, such as [site-specific options][option-overrides] and [disabling
1012 certain commands on certain sites][key-overrides]. It also allows to add
1013 [custom commands] \(and other extensions to extend VimFx). #158 #235 #255 #261
1014 \#300 #408 #445 #490 #515
1015
1016 - It is now easier to customize VimFx through custom [styling]. An example is
1017 changing the way hint markers look. #220 #233 #424 #432 #465
1018
1019 - VimFx now has [documentation] and a [wiki].
1020
1021 - A few new locales were added:
1022
1023 - fr. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r)!
1024 - pt-BR. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)!
1025 - sv-SE. Thanks to Andreas Lindhé (@lindhe)!
1026
1027 ##### Improvements
1028
1029 - VimFx is now multi-process/Electrolysis/e10s compatible! This means that you
1030 can run VimFx on a version of Firefox with multi-process enabled without
1031 issues, and that we’re future proof for the day when Firefox becomes
1032 multi-process by default. Best of all, it also made VimFx more reliable in
1033 non-multi-process (“regular”) Firefox. #378
1034
1035 - The `[` and `]` commands are now smarter, recognizing more links to the
1036 previous/next page correctly. You may read more about [previous/next page
1037 patterns]. #396
1038
1039 - The `n` and `N` commands now notify you when they wrap around the page, or the
1040 phrase you searched for could not be found. #398
1041
1042 - _All_ shortcuts in _all modes_ can now be customized. For example, this allows
1043 you to disable VimFx’s Vim-style `<enter>` behavior in the find bar. #222 #390
1044 \#421
1045
1046 - The `p` and `P` commands are now smarter regarding whether to treat the
1047 clipboard contents as a URL or a search, by working exactly like pasting in
1048 the location bar. They also now read the selection clipboard, if available.
1049 \#353 #382
1050
1051 - VimFx’s toolbar button is now properly implemented. #303 #349 #383
1052
1053 - Most locales were updated. Thanks to our awesome [translators]!
1054
1055 ##### Minor bug fixes
1056
1057 - VimFx now works correctly in tabs dragged to other windows. #57
1058 - The `p` command is no longer broken. #494
1059 - Non-ASCII shortcut keys now work properly. #433
1060 - The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog can no longer be covered by page elements.
1061 \#477
1062 - Hint markers can no longer be covered by page elements.
1063 - VimFx no longer causes scripts on icloud.com to get stuck in an infinite loop.

1089
1090 ### 0.5.17 (2015-01-23)
1091
1092 - Fixed: The hints generation no longer crashes on some pages (regression since
1093 version 0.5.15).
1094
1095 ### 0.5.16 (2015-01-22)
1096
1097 - Fixed: The toolbar button no longer throws errors. (This fix should have been
1098 in 0.5.15 but was forgotten. Luckily an AMO reviewer found it.)
1099
1100 ### 0.5.15 (2015-01-21)
1101
1102 - Improved: This version is now forwards-compatible with the upcoming version
1103 0.6.0. Downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.14 or older might cause VimFx to crash,
1104 but downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.15 is safe.
1105 - Fixed: Non-hintchars key presses in hints mode are now suppressed. They used
1106 to be passed along to the browser, which could confusingly activate site
1107 commands.
1108 - Fixed: The 'f' command now always opens links in the same tab. Links used to
1109 be able to force a new tab or window.
1110 - Fixed: Pressing 'Esc' in the location bar now restores the URL, as is the
1111 default behaviour of Firefox. You may now also close Firefox dialogs using
1112 'Esc'.
1113 - Improved: Updated the de locale. Thanks to Alexander Haeussler!
1114 - Improved: Updated the pl locale. Thanks to morethanoneanimal!
1115
1116 ### 0.5.14 (2014-08-16)
1117
1118 - Fixed: Locales should now work properly.
1119 - Improved: Updated the zh-CN locale (@mozillazg).
1120 - Improved: Updated the de locale (@Kambfhase).
1121 - Added: Japanese locale (@pluser).
1122 - Fixed: If you switched to another tab or window while an `<input>` element
1123 was focused and then switched back, the `<input>` element got blurred, while
1124 it should have stayed focused. This caused the auto-type feature of KeePassX
1125 to break.
1126
1127 ### 0.5.13 (2014-08-02)
1128
1129 - Fixed: The vote button on StackExchange sites are now markable again.
1130 - Improved: Detection of previous/next links. Should work better on gmail now.
1131 - Fixed: It is now possible to use Enter/Return in keyboard shortcuts.
1132 - Improved: The n/N commands (etc.) now work even if you didn’t open the finbar
1133 using the VimFx command (such as the default key binding ctrl+f, or by
1134 clicking a menu item).
1135 - Improved: It is now possible to blur text inputs without sending Esc to the
1136 page, which could cause dialogs etc. to annoyingly close.
1137 - Improved: Updated the el-GR locale (@sirodoht).
1138 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention sometimes made text inputs impossible to focus
1139 until you reloaded the page.
1140 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now works on more sites than before.
1141 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now prevents _all_ automatic focusing (not
1142 just when the page loads). This makes devdocs.io much easier to use.
1143 - Added: When viewing images directly and the image has been resized to fit the
1144 screen the image is now markable, allowing you to toggle zoom on it using the
1145 keyboard.
1146 - Fixed: It is no longer possible to add conflicting shortcuts (such as adding
1147 'a' when 'af' and 'as' are already present).
1148
1149 ### 0.5.12 (2014-06-01)
1150
1151 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention got stuck sometimes, making it impossible to
1152 focus inputs.
1153
1154 ### 0.5.11 (2014-06-01)
1155
1156 - Fixed: The focus search bar command was broken.
1157 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention was broken.
1158 - Fixed: The top bar on YouTube could not be accessed by VimFx.
1159 - Fixed: You can no longer add blank hotkeys.
1160 - Improved: Tab Groups are supported.
1161 - Improved: Matching of previous/next links should be more reliable.
1162 - Improved: A few minor things.
1163
1164 ### 0.5.10 (2014-05-07)
1165
1166 - Fixed yet another bug related to the default preferences
1167
1168 ### 0.5.9 (2014-05-04)
1169
1170 - Fixed a bug with default preferences not being set
1171 - Fixed gg and G to be faster
1172
1173 ### 0.5.8 (2014-04-18)
1174
1175 - AMO Preliminary Review bug fix (sorry for such long delay)
1176
1177 ### 0.5.7 (2014-03-03)
1178
1179 - Bug fix
1180
1181 ### 0.5.6 (2014-02-26)
1182
1183 - Updated some translations
1184 - Updated pagination patterns and logic
1185
1186 ### 0.5.5 (2014-01-03)
1187
1188 - Hotfix release to address a bug that has been introduced in 0.5.4
1189
1190 ### 0.5.4 (2014-01-03)
1191
1192 - Fix for popup passthrough mode stucking
1193 - Make toolbar button click depend on current mode
1194 - Higher weight markers should not be overlapped
1195 - Refactor find mode to use Firefox native search bar
