VimFx v0.20.11
[VimFx.git] / CHANGELOG.md
1 ### 0.20.11 (2017-11-19)
2
3 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 58 (if you have enabled legacy
4 extensions). Thanks to 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
5
6 ### 0.20.9 (2017-02-21)
7
8 - Fixed: The `yy` command now works as expected in Reader Mode.
9
10 ### 0.20.8 (2017-01-14)
11
12 - Improved: The scrolling commands now scroll the closest scrollable parent of
13 the currently focused element (if it is not scrollable itself). This is
14 noticeable for Twitter’s modals, which are often scrollable. No longer any
15 need to use the `f` or `ef` commands to scroll those modals!
16
17 ### 0.20.7 (2017-01-07)
18
19 - Improved: The `[` and `]` commands now work in Google search results.
20 - Improved: You can now show the “emoji picker” of the “like” button on Facebook
21 by using the `ef` command.
22 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @interleaved!
23
24 ### 0.20.6 (2016-12-16)
25
26 - Fixed: The `'`, `g[` and `g]` commands no longer crash. (Regression since
27 0.20.5.)
28 - Fixed: The `ef` command can now focus elements in deeply nested frames again.
29 (Regression since 0.19.0.)
30 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` and `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` are now properly
31 undone when reloading a config file (`gC`).
32 - Improved: Hint markers for elements with multiline text no longer cover the
33 text.
34 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @interleaved!
35
36 ### 0.20.5 (2016-12-04)
37
38 - Fixed: Scrolling by holding `d`, `u`, `<space>` or `<s-space>` no longer goes
39 slower and slower (and finally grinding to a halt) on long pages with lots of
40 elements. (See also the [`scroll.repeat_timeout`] pref.)
41 - Improved: All config API functions now validate all their parameters properly.
42 This provides a better user experience, and, most importantly, prevents VimFx
43 from crashing on certain invalid input.
44
45 [`scroll.repeat_timeout`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/58deb3f7b7c470a4d705f1dabf7aa13e095e8d09/documentation/options.md#smooth-scrolling
46
47 ### 0.20.4 (2016-11-16)
48
49 - Fixed: The `n` and `N` commands now work in Firefox’s PDF viewer.
50 - Fixed: The `eb` command can now click the tab bar scroll buttons.
51 - Fixed: Elements marked by the `eb` command now correctly get hints based on
52 their area again.
53 - Improved: The `eb` command now favors the browser tabs and their close
54 buttons, giving them better hints.
55 - Improved: The hints given to the browser tabs by the `eb` command are now
56 consistent no matter how many tabs you have open. This means that the first
57 tab always gets the same hint, the second tab always get the same hint, and so
58 on.
59 - Improved: Hint markers are now placed next to the text of the element if
60 appropriate. For example, the hint marker for a button with centered text is
61 now placed just to the left of the text rather than at the left edge of
62 button. This is nice because it means that hint markers usually end up where
63 you were just reading.
64 - Improved: The positioning of hint markers has been fine-tuned by a pixel or so
65 in some cases.
66 - Improved: Custom styled checkboxes and radio buttons now get hint markers
67 faster (they are now found in the first pass rather than the second).
68 - Improved: Compatibility with the [Tab Center] add-on.
69 - Improved: Blurring the location bar is now more consistent. Previously, its
70 text wasn’t reset if the autocomplete popup was open when you pressed
71 `<escape>` to blur it.
72 - Fixed: An edge case where the wrong hint markers could be highlighted.
73
74 [Tab Center]: https://testpilot.firefox.com/experiments/tab-center/
75
76 ### 0.20.3 (2016-10-22)
77
78 - Improved: Full page scrolling now recognizes the fixed footer on medium.com.
79 - Fixed: Scrollable element can now be focused with the `f` command again (not
80 just with the `ef` command). (Regression since 0.19.0.)
81 - Fixed: `<escape>` is no longer accidentally leaked to the page when used to
82 blur text inputs. This allows blurring text inputs in modals without closing
83 the modal (which `<escape>` commonly does otherwise).
84
85 ### 0.20.2 (2016-10-16)
86
87 - Fixed: Text inputs and links inside frames can now be focused using hint
88 commands again. (Regression since 0.19.0.)
89 - Improved: Previously focused text inputs inside frames no longer steal the
90 focus when entering Caret mode in that frame.
91 - Improved: When several hint markers have the same hint (because their links
92 go to the same place), the _largest_ of those links is now chosen when
93 activating that hint. This might be noticeable via focus styling.
94 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @av2000ii!
95
96 ### 0.20.1 (2016-10-09)
97
98 - Improved: Caret mode is now a bit more robust. It can no longer make you end
99 up with [Firefox’s own Caret mode] accidentally enabled.
100 - Improved: If you try use for example `<ctrl>-j` as a keyboard shortcut, VimFx
101 will now tell you that you probably want `<c-j>` instead.
102 - Fixed: Using a keyboard shortcut to switch keyboard layout in GNOME while
103 inside a text input no longer causes the focus of that text input to be lost
104 when the Prevent autofocus option is enabled.
105 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @av2000ii!
106
107 [Firefox’s own Caret mode]: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Accessibility_features_of_Firefox#Allow_text_to_be_selected_with_the_keyboard
108
109 ### 0.20.0 (2016-10-02)
110
111 - Added: The `g[` and `g]` commands, which let you scroll to previous and next
112 scroll positions of the current page. This is similar to Vim’s jump list.
113 - Added: The `/` mark. Pressing `'/` takes you to the scroll position before the
114 last `/`, `a/` or `g/`.
115 - Fixed: Pressing `''` multiple times in a row now flips back and forth
116 between two scroll positions as expected.
117 - Fixed: Version 0.19.0 claimed to include the following improvement: “The hint
118 marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for a larger
119 element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).” However, a silly
120 mistake caused that improvement not to work. Now it does. For real.
121 - Fixed: All VimFx commands that copy text to the clipboard are now made sure to
122 also copy to the “selection clipboard” (if your system has such a thing). For
123 example, if you copy text using the `yv` command, the `p` command now uses
124 that copied text as expected.
125
126 ### 0.19.1 (2016-09-26)
127
128 - Fixed: The `'` command no longer crashes. (Regression since 0.19.0.)
129
130 ### 0.19.0 (2016-09-25)
131
132 #### Changes and improvements to Hints mode
133
134 **New feature:** Hint markers can now be filtered by element text, similar to
135 Vimium, Vimperator and Pentadactyl. This is useful for people who simply prefer
136 that workflow, and for clicking tiny pagination links (simply type its number!).
137
138 By default, filtering by element text is done by typing _uppercase_ characters
139 (hold down shift!). All characters other than the hint characters are now used
140 to filter hint markers by element text (rather than just being ignored). Do you
141 prefer filtering by element text, but dislike typing uppercase letters? Have a
142 look at how [hint characters] work to make things the other way around!
143
144 The markers with the best hint are now highlighted with a different color. You
145 may at any time press `<enter>` to activate those markers (or `<c-enter>` or
146 `<a-enter>` to change where and how to open links, just like you can hold ctrl
147 or alt for the last hint character).
148
149 Because of the above new features, the following default **Hints mode shortcuts
150 had to be changed:**
151
152 - `<space>` → `<c-space>` (`<s-space>` is left untouched)
153 - `<s->` → `<c-s->` (hold ctrl _and_ shift to peek through hint markers)
154 - `<enter>` → `<up>`
155 - `<c-enter>` → `<c-backspace>`
156
157 To make it easier to see the element text, hint markers are now nudged to the
158 left if they cover the text.
159
160 Other hint marker improvements:
161
162 - Hint markers are now 20% smaller by default. While trying to match text sizes
163 set by your operating system, they ended up a bit too large on most systems.
164 Check out the [Styling] documentation if you’d like to change the font size.
165 - Hint markers now have stronger contrast between the background color and the
166 text color, which should make them easier to read.
167 - The CSS for hint markers have been improved, making it easier to use custom
168 [Styling].
169 - When several elements have the same area, the best hint is now correctly given
170 to the _first_ of those elements. Previously, it happened to be the other way
171 around.
172 - The hint marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for
173 a larger element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).
174 - Hint markers are now better positioned when having zoomed the page in or out.
175 - Hints mode is now more robust in general. Several race conditions have been
176 fixed.

180
181 #### Other updates
182
183 - Added: The ability to **export, import and reset all** VimFx options. There
184 are three shiny new buttons for this in VimFx’s options page in the Add-ons
185 Manager!
186 - Added: The `gB` command, which lets you **quickly blacklist** (and
187 un-blacklist) sites.
188 - Added: The `ec` command, for opening the context menu of elements.
189 - Added: The `ep` command, for opening links in new private windows.
190 - Improved: `h`, `l`, `j` and `k` now feel more like scrolling with the arrow
191 keys when held down, by boosting the scrolling speed. See the
192 [`scroll.horizontal_boost` and `scroll.vertical_boost`][scroll-boost] options
193 for more information.
194 - Fixed: VimFx’s find bar integration is now much more robust. Most notably, if
195 you start typing directly after pressing `/` and Firefox is slow at opening
196 the find bar, your keypresses can no longer trigger VimFx commands or Firefox
197 built-in commands.
198 - Improved: VimFx no longer leaks keypresses to the web page in some modes. (For
199 example, counts in Caret mode).
200 - Improved: The `eb` command now finds more clickable elements in the devtools.
201 - Changed: `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` no longer lets you easily break for example
202 Hints mode, by now only being applied to Normal mode. You might need to change
203 your matchers from `(location, mode) => ...` to simply `location => ...`.
204 (Breaking API change.)
205 - Changed: The object passed to custom commands (and custom modes) no longer
206 contains a `uiEvent` property. Instead, there’s an `event` property. This
207 property can be used the same way if you check `vim.isUIEvent(event)` first.
208 (Breaking API change.)
209
210 [scroll-boost]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8bafdf0454043c1630bac8b13d13f1fb4e5ee9e7/documentation/options.md#scrollhorizontal_boost-and-scrollvertical_boost
211
212 ### 0.18.1 (2016-08-27)
213
214 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` no longer crashes on startup.
215 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` can now override the `prevent_autofocus`
216 pref again.
217
218 ### 0.18.0 (2016-08-20)
219
220 #### Changed default shortcuts
221
222 Some default keyboard shortcuts have been changed.
223
224 - Hint commands. Many of the old ones were difficult to remember, and there was
225 no space for adding new ones.
226
227 - `gf` → `et` (t as in tab)
228 - `gF` → `ew` (w as in window)
229 - `zf` → `ef` (f as in focus)
230 - `zF` → `eb` (b as in browser)
231 - `zv` → `av` (you actually select _all_ of the element’s text)
232
233 (`f`, `yf`, `af`, `v` and `yv` stay unchanged.)
234
235 There is a longer [explanation of these new defaults][hint-shortcuts] in the
236 documentation.
237
238 - `zr` → `gC`. `zr` was the only shortcut starting with `z`. This frees that key
239 up for other uses.
240
241 - `` ` `` → `'`. The `` ` `` shortcut (“scroll to mark”) as well as the `` ` ``
242 mark (“last position mark”) have both been changed to `'`. Both `` ` `` and
243 `'` are used in Vim. `'` is a better default, because it is easier to
244 type–both on an en-US QWERTY keyboard and, more importantly, on some
245 international layouts, such as the sv-SE QWERTY layout.
246
247 Note: If you miss Firefox’s default `'` shortcut to open the Quick Find bar
248 (which is now overridden), remember that VimFx provides `g/` which does the
249 same thing. (You can of course also change VimFx’s shortcuts.)
250
251 See also issue [#788].

254 [#788]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/issues/788
255
256 #### Other updates
257
258 - Added: It is now possible to create [custom hint commands].
259 - Fixed: The bottom-right corner of the page scrollbars can now be used with the
260 mouse again.
261 - Fixed: The toolbar button now correctly toggles VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts
262 dialog again.
263 - Updated locales: fr, ru. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r) and Nicholas
264 Guriev (@mymedia2)!
265
266 [custom hint commands]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/e8d9df31dd5c8df999ac22e3b3b8d548a68c6fa7/documentation/api.md#custom-hint-commands
267
268 ### 0.17.4 (2016-07-11)
269
270 - Improved: The usage of modifier keys in Hints mode is now shown in VimFx’s
271 Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog. The functionality has been there for a long
272 time, but should now be easier to find. Thanks to our awesome translators,
273 the new help text is already available in most supported locales!
274 - Improved: If you submit a form while still being inside one of its text
275 inputs, that text input is now automatically blurred. This lets you use VimFx
276 commands while waiting for the form to submit without having to press
277 `<escape>` first.
278 - Improved: The `gu` command now works better on some pages, by preserving a
279 trailing slash. Thanks to @sinkuu!
280 - Improved: VimFx now recognizes text areas in the TYPO3 CMS.
281 - Improved: The `<escape>` command and the toolbar button now let you escape
282 back to Normal mode if VimFx ever gets stuck thinking that you are typing in a
283 text input.
284
285 ### 0.17.3 (2016-06-27)
286
287 - Improved: The `zF` command can now open even more dropdown menus of buttons.
288
289 ### 0.17.2 (2016-06-19)
290
291 - Improved: The `zF` command now works with more buttons and is able to open
292 dropdown menus of buttons.
293 - Fixed: The `f` commands now recognize more file upload buttons.
294 - Fixed: Rotating hint markers now works more as expected after having entered a
295 few hint chars.
296 - Fixed: Scrolling now works in SVG documents.
297 - Fixed: Opening links in new tabs in Firefox 50.
298 - Updated locales: pt-BR and ru. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)
299 and Nicholas Guriev (@mymedia2)!
300
301 ### 0.17.1 (2016-06-12)
302
303 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer accidentally double-clicks instead of
304 single-clicking. Thanks to Alan Wu (@XrXr)!
305 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer crashes in Firefox 49+.
306 - Fixed: The “URL popup,” shown when hovering or focusing links, now appears
307 again when focusing links using `zf` (regression since 0.17.0).
308 - Updated locale: it. Thanks to Carlo Bertoldi (@cbertoldi)!
309
310 ### 0.17.0 (2016-06-08)
311
312 - Fixed: VimFx no longer scrolls smaller elements on a page instead of the
313 entire page on some sites.
314 - Improved: The `/`, `n` and `N` have been drastically sped up (when
315 [`find_from_top_of_viewport`][find_from_top_of_viewport-1] is on). Previously,
316 they appeared to freeze on some sites, but not anymore.
317 - Improved: You can no longer accidentally trigger VimFx between pressing `/`
318 and the find bar input being is focused.
319 - Improved: The `n` and `N` commands are now more robust.
320 - Improved: “Fullscreen” buttons and “Copy to clipboard” buttons can now be
321 activated the `f` command. Thanks to Alan Wu (@XrXr)!
322 - Changed: After having pressed `m` or `` ` `` VimFx no longer waits
323 indefinitely for you to press a mark key. Instead, the [timeout] option is
324 honored.
325 - Changed: After having pressed `m` or `` ` `` you can now press `<escape>` to
326 abort those commands.
327 - Changed: Find mode is no longer shown in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
328 dialog, to reduce clutter. (This can be changed through custom
329 [styling][styling-1].)
330 - Changed: The `?` command as well as the toolbar button now _toggle_ VimFx’s
331 Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (instead of always showing it, even if it was
332 already shown.)
333 - Changed: Counts are now ignored in Ignore mode. Previously, pressing number
334 keys would both send those key presses to the page _and_ contribute to the
335 count for commands (showing up in the bottom-right corner). This is no longer
336 the case.
337 - Updated locales: fr, zh-CN and zh-TW. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r),
338 @av2000ii and Robert Wang (@cyberrob)!

343
344 ### 0.16.1 (2016-05-29)
345
346 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer crashes (regression since 0.16.0).
347
348 ### 0.16.0 (2016-05-29)
349
350 - Fixed: The text input focus detection problems introduced in 0.15.1, which
351 sometimes caused VimFx commands to be triggered while typing in text inputs,
352 have been fixed.
353 - Improved: If you press `n` or `N` when there are are no matches for your
354 search, the find bar is no longer opened. Only a notification is shown. The
355 reliability of those notifications has also been improved.
356 - Improved: Hints mode now finds more links.
357 - Improved: Pressing `<c-enter>` in Hints mode now includes more elements.
358 - Updated locales: es, zh-CN. Thanks to @strel and @av2000ii!
359
360 ### 0.15.1 (2016-05-22)
361
362 - Improved: Better hints on Twitter.
363 - Improved: Compatibility with the [Evernote Web Clipper] add-on (and
364 potentially other add-ons with similar UI).
365 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!
366
367 [Evernote Web Clipper]: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/evernote-web-clipper/
368
369 ### 0.15.0 (2016-05-18)
370
371 - Improved: Hint markers now appear up to twice as fast on many pages. This is
372 done by creating the hint markers in two phases. Most are created in the
373 first, fast, phase. The rest take the same time as older VimFx versions to
374 show up.
375 - Fixed: VimFx no longer triggers commands while typing in fancy text inputs on
376 some sites, such as when composing a new tweet on Twitter. (See also the
377 [`blur_timeout`] pref.)
378 - Changed: The `<c-enter>` Hints mode command no longer _replaces_ all hint
379 markers on screen (with new ones for all elements on screen). Instead, it
380 _toggles_ your current hint markers with ones for all _other_ elements on
381 screen.
382 - Changed: There was a breaking change to the [`vimfx.setHintMatcher`] function
383 of the `frame.js` config file API. It no longer receives and returns an object
384 (of the shape `{type, semantic}`), but instead simply receives and returns the
385 `type` of the element.
386 - Improved: Some internal robustness refactoring.
387 - Updated locales: de, id, nl and zh-CN. Thanks to @just-barcodes, Yoppy
388 Halilintar (@comepradz), @HJTP, @av2000ii and @mozillazg.

392
393 ### 0.14.3 (2016-05-08)
394
395 - Fixed: Version 0.14.2 attempted to fix smooth scrolling speed in newer Firefox
396 versions. However, there was a tiny typo that caused the fix not to work. That
397 typo has been corrected.
398
399 ### 0.14.2 (2016-05-08)
400
401 - Fixed: Smooth scrolling speed is now correct again in newer Firefox versions.
402 - Fixed: The `yv` Caret mode command now only copies text that you can see on
403 screen (not any hidden text that might be on the page), making it truly work
404 like `zv` followed by `y`, as intended. This problem was very noticeable on
405 Slack. This also improves copying of 'contenteditable' elements using `yf`.
406 - Fixed: `<escape>` and arrow key handling as well as hint markers in the
407 devtools now work correctly again in newer Firefox versions.
408 - Fixed: VimFx no longer makes it impossible to open the Developer Toolbar.
409 - Improved: VimFx now ignores `<numlock>` and `<capslock>`. If your keyboard
410 sends `<numlock>` before some symbols, such as `<numlock>$` instead of just
411 `$`, shortcuts like `gx$` now work out of the box. This also means that you
412 can use `<capslock>` instead of `<shift>` when typing the `J` in `gJ`, for
413 example.
414 - Improved: Some minor cosmetic tweaks in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
415 dialog.
416
417 ### 0.14.1 (2016-04-30)
418
419 - Fixed: The Find commands (such as `/`, `n` and `N`) no longer crash on some
420 sites (regression since 0.14.0).
421
422 ### 0.14.0 (2016-04-29)
423
424 - Added: [Caret mode], which lets you copy text from web pages using the
425 keyboard.
426 - Improved: The Find commands (such as `/`, `n` and `N`) now search from the top
427 of the viewport, instead of from the top of the document, which is more
428 Vim-like and less disorienting. To read more about it (or to return to the
429 Firefox default behavior) please see the [`find_from_top_of_viewport`] pref.
430 - Improved: Compatibility with the [BackTrack Tab History] add-on.
431 - Added: The `<c-enter>` Hints mode command, which creates hint markers for
432 _all_ elements.
433 - Fixed: `__dirname` inside config files now works on Windows. Thanks to
434 Zhong Jianxin (@azuwis)!
435 - Fixed: Unnecessary full-page hint markers on some sites, such as Hackernews,
436 no longer appear.

441
442 ### 0.13.2 (2016-04-08)
443
444 - Improved: The “last position mark” `` ` `` now works more reliably.
445 - Improved: More video players are now recognized. Many video players lets you
446 press `<space>` while focused to toggle play/pause. VimFx tries to detect if
447 the currently focused element is a video player. If so, `<space>` is passed to
448 the video player instead of scrolling the page. (For those interested, see
449 also the [`adjustable_element_keys`] pref.)
450
451 [`adjustable_element_keys`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/645e35d7d82019b0551534c43926bc126e7105bd/documentation/options.md#adjustable_element_keys
452
453 ### 0.13.1 (2016-04-01)
454
455 - Fixed: Blacklisting of some XUL pages.
456 - Fixed: The current mode is no longer lost when a page loads. For example, if
457 you press `zF` while a page is loading, the markers no longer disappear.
458 - Fixed: Elements that you have focused using an `f` command no longer get stuck
459 appearing as if you’d put the mouse pointer.
460 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @mozillazg!
461
462 ### 0.13.0 (2016-03-19)
463
464 - Added: The `T` command, which opens a new tab after the current.
465 - Changed: The `gl` command now deals with _visited_ tabs only.
466 - Added: The [`gL`] command, which deals with <em>un</em>visited tabs only, in
467 oldest-first order. Use this to step through your unvisited background tabs in
468 the order you opened them (for example using the `F` command).
469 - Improved: The `gi` command no longer tries to focus the last focused text
470 input if it has been removed from the page. If so, it finds a new one instead.
471 - Fixed: You can now type in sidebar text inputs (such as in the history
472 sidebar) without having to switch to Ignore mode.
473 - Changed: If you enter Ignore mode you will now stay in Ignore mode in that tab
474 until you explicitly exit it (by pressing `<s-escape>`), even if you reload
475 the page or follow a link. If Ignore mode was entered automatically because of
476 the [blacklist][blacklist-2], though, you will be automatically returned to
477 Normal mode if
478 the URL changes to a non-blacklisted page.
479 - Added: VimFx can now automatically enter and exit Ignore mode based on the
480 currently focused element. Currently, the [wasavi] extension as well as
481 [CodeMirror] in Vim mode are detected. Both of those provide Vim-style
482 editors. This allows sending `<escape>` to those editors in order to exit
483 their Insert mode, without blurring the editor.
484 - Improved: CodeMirror editors now get better hints, keeping the cursor where
485 you left it.
486 - Improved: The [blacklist][blacklist-2] is now applied faster on some pages.
487 - Improved: Many audio and video elements are now recognized as “adjustable”,
488 allowing you to press for example `<space>` on them to toggle play/pause,
489 without scrolling the page.
490 - Improved: Scrolling by pages, such as using the `<space>` command, now takes
491 fixed heaears and footers into account, just like Firefox does.
492 - Fixed: Access keys now work correctly in context menus in the devtools and
493 `about:config`.
494 - Improved: The arrow keys now Just Work in the devtools, even if you have bound
495 them to VimFx commands.
496 - Changed: The public API has been removed, and turned into the Config file API.
497 If you were already using a config file, it will no longer work. You need to
498 set up a new one, but you should be able to simply copy and paste the contents
499 of the old one into the new one. Read the [config file] documentation for more
500 information.
501 - Changed: There are a few minor breaking changes to the API, though I doubt it
502 will affect anyone.
503 - If you use [`vimfx.on`], you probably need to adjust the arguments of the
504 your callbacks. They are now _always_ passed an object of data, instead of
505 sometimes passing the data directly.
506 - `match.focus` of [match object]s has been removed, and replaced by
507 `vim.focusType` of [vim object]s.
508 - Fixed: The toolbar button’s icon is now correctly sized when setting
509 `layout.css.devPixelsPerPx` to `2`. Thanks to Robert Ma (@Hexcles) and Dale
510 Whinham (@dwhinham)!
511 - Fixed: Find commands now work when the find bar was opened before the page had
512 finished loading.
513 - Improved: Lots of internal improvements. This should make VimFx faster, more
514 reliable and more responsive.
515 - All keyboard event handling (except `<late>` shortcuts) are now handled in
516 the UI process, instead of mostly in each tab’s web page content process.
517 This should make VimFx’s shortcuts more reliable and responsive.
518 - Removed all synchronous message passing (execpt for `<late>` keypresses).
519 Mozilla recommends using them only where absolutely necessary. Turns out
520 VimFx doesn’t need them anymore!
521 - The `f` commands are now more reliable. Before, they could crash on rare
522 occasions (on certain web pages), but that is less likely now.
523 - Less `MutationObserver`s are now used. This should improve performance.
524 - Less uncaught errors (especially on shutdown).
525 - Lots of minor improvements.
526 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!

536
537 ### 0.12.0 (2016-02-03)
538
539 - Improved: More clickable elements are now recognized. Most notably, elements
540 with click event listeners added by JavaScript now get hints.
541 - Improved: Autofocus prevention after using the `[` and `]` commands.
542 - Added: In VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (which can be opened by
543 pressing `?`) you can now click on any command to open VimFx’s settings page
544 in the Add-ons Manager and automatically select the text input for that
545 command, letting you edit its shortcuts. Tip: Use the `zF` command to click
546 without using the mouse.
547 - Changed: Autofocus is no longer prevented in Firefox internal pages, such as
548 `about:preferences`, `about:addons` and `about:config` (as well as other XUL
549 pages).
550 - Fixed: VimFx and the Beyond Australis extension do not conflict with each
551 other anymore.
552 - Fixed: The `gH` command no longer nags you about “No back/forward history”
553 even though there is.
554 - Added: The `gl` command now takes a [count][gl-count].
555 - Improved: Optimized CPU usage in Hints mode. (See also the [`hints_sleep`]
556 pref.)
557 - Improved: The `H` and `L` commands should now be more reliable in Firefox 43
558 and later.
559 - Changed: There was a tiny breaking change to the Public API, though I doubt it
560 will affect anyone. (See [commit 0ca807605e] if you’re especially interested.)
561 - Improved: _Several_ minor things, and some really nice internal refactoring.
562 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
563
564 [`hints_sleep`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/92b483c4a4f6da0b2c998267e0f01d3d999f93b6/documentation/options.md#hints_sleep

566 [commit 0ca807605e]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/commit/0ca807605e8d69fdc01ef9ce5d539cf66ce7d96f
567
568 ### 0.11.0 (2016-01-15)
569
570 - Fixed: The `` ` `` command is no longer broken.
571 - Fixed: Memory leak.
572 - Added: The `gl` command, which takes you to the most recent tab.
573 - Improved: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now scrollable using VimFx’s
574 scrolling commands. To allow for this, the search field is no longer
575 autofocused. Instead, press `/` to open it.
576 - Improved: Using the `f` commands, such as `f` and `zf`, now works like
577 actually moving your mouse onto the link, making hover menus and such-like
578 appear.
579 - Improved: VimFx should now work better with Google Drive Documents, Etherpad
580 and a few other fancy text editors.
581 - Improved: The `]` command now works on google.com.
582 - Improved: Checkboxes and menu items on gmail.com are now given hints by the
583 `f` command.
584 - Improved: The `gi` command now also recognizes 'contenteditable' elements.
585 - Improved: Hint markers now move along together with their elements.
586 - Fixed: Hint markers should now be correctly positioned when zooming.
587 - Fixed: The toolbar button icon should now look correctly on Retina screens.
588 - Added: You may now disable counts by using toggling the [`counts_enabled`]
589 pref.
590 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
591 - Improved: Several minor things.
592
593 [`counts_enabled`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8dae7aec9008595da31b939d5ae2d239849cf6dc/documentation/options.md#counts_enabled
594
595 ### 0.10.0 (2015-12-09)
596
597 - Added: The `zF` command, which lets you click browser elements.
598 - Improved: The scrolling commands can now scroll browser elements (in other
599 words, not only web page content), by first selecting the scollable element
600 using `zF`.
601 - Added: The `gr` command, which toggles [Reader View].
602 - Added: The `gX` command, which opens the Recently Closed Tabs menu at the
603 middle of the screen.
604 - Added: The keys you’ve typed so far of a command, as well the count, are now
605 shown in a [notification]. (You may disable this using the
606 [`notify_entered_keys`] pref.)
607 - Improved: When commands don’t do anything, they show a [notification] instead,
608 letting you know that you actually pressed the right keys. For example, if you
609 press `f` but there are no markable elements visible, a notification is shown
610 telling you so, instead of silently doing nothing.
611 - Improved: `<space>` now scrolls _about a line less_ than a full page, just
612 like Firefox does by default. `d` scroll about _half_ a line less (by
613 default), so that pressing `d` twice works like pressing `<space>` once. (See
614 the [`scroll.full_page_adjustment` and `scroll.half_page_adjustment`] prefs
615 for more information.)
616 - Improved: `gi` now only selects all text in its text input if you haven’t
617 focused a text input yet (allowing you to easily replace pre-filled text),
618 instead of _always_ doing so. Otherwise, it now puts the cursor where you left
619 off typing the last time.
620 - Fixed: The `f` commands now put the cursor where you left off typing the last
621 time when focusing a text input. Previously, they accidentally selected all
622 text in the text input (use `zf` for that behavior).
623 - Fixed: Yet a scrolling fix. VimFx’s scrolling commands should now “just work”
624 on even more sites.
625 - Fixed: AltGr should now work out of the box on Windows. (See the
626 [`ignore_ctrl_alt`] pref for more information.)
627 - Removed: The el-GR, hu and pl locales were sadly too out of date to be useful,
628 and nobody has shown interest in updating them, so they were removed.
629 - Updated locales: id, de and zh-CN. Thanks to Yoppy Halilintar, @just-barcodes
630 and @mozillazg!
631 - Fixed: Several tiny bugs.

638
639 ### 0.9.0 (2015-12-02)
640
641 - Fixed: Links with the `onclick` attribute can now be opened in new tabs again.
642 (Regression since 0.8.0.)
643 - Fixed: The text size in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now
644 correctly resized.
645 - Added: The `gH` command. It opens the back/forward button context menu in the
646 middle of the window, allowing you to choose a history entry with the arrow
647 keys and `<enter>`.
648
649 ### 0.8.0 (2015-12-01)
650
651 - Fixed: VimFx now works properly in tabs moved to other windows.
652 - Fixed: An unreliable check for multi-process mode has been eliminated, fixing
653 various problems for some users.
654 - Fixed: VimFx’s toolbar button now changes color correctly when switching
655 between blacklisted and non-blacklisted tabs.
656 - Fixed: Dead keys now work out of the box on Windows.
657 - Improved: Links with the `onclick` attribute (abused as buttons) can no longer
658 get the same hint as another link.
659 - Added: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (shown by pressing `?`) is now
660 searchable.
661 - Added: The `g/` command. It’s like `/` but searches links only.
662
663 - Added: [Marks].
664
665 - Use `ma` to mark the current scroll position and `` `a `` to return to it.
666 (You may substitute `a` with any key press.)
667 - Use ``` `` ``` to return to the position before the last `gg`, `G`, `0`,
668 `$`, `/`, `n`, `N` or `` ` ``. (You can change this mark using the
669 [`last_scroll_position_mark`] pref.)
670
671 - Added: Window commands.
672
673 - `w`: Open new window.
674 - `W`: Open new private window.
675 - `gw`: Move tab to new window.
676 - `gF`: Follow link in new window.
677
678 [Marks]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/47fc699ce8217ee90af4d12e81f102f2bea09d61/documentation/commands.md#marks-m-and-

680
681 ### 0.7.3 (2015-11-22)
682
683 - Fixed: Scrolling now works correctly in pages in quirks mode (lacking a
684 doctype), such as Hackernews.
685 - Improved: The largest scrollable element is now detected better in frames.
686 - Fixed: Hints mode now exits correctly when focusing a text input using `af`,
687 or `f` with a count.
688
689 ### 0.7.2 (2015-11-21)
690
691 - Fixed: The blinking text caret now always appears correctly when focusing text
692 inputs.
693
694 ### 0.7.1 (2015-11-21)
695
696 - Fixed: The scrolling commands should now “just work” when using non-default
697 zoom or DPI settings, most notably on Google Groups.
698
699 ### 0.7.0 (2015-11-19)
700
701 - Changed: Instead of using system notifications, which turned out to be a bit
702 too intrusive, [notifications] are now similar to the “URL popup” (shown when
703 hovering or focusing links) but are placed on the opposite side,.
704 - Changed: The “Focus next element” and “Focus previous element” commands have
705 been removed. The reason they existed was to let `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` only
706 cycle between text inputs (as opposed to _all_ focusable elements) after
707 you’ve pressed `gi`. Now, `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` are handled specially instead,
708 and _only_ after pressing `gi`. The reason for this change is that the now
709 removed commands were too intrusive, breaking user habits. One of VimFx’s main
710 goal is _not_ to do that. (You can turn the special handling of `<tab>` and
711 `<s-tab>` off using the the new [`focus_previous_key` and `focus_next_key`]
712 prefs.)
713 - Fixed: The scrolling commands should now “just work” in a lot more situations,
714 most notably on Gmail and Google Groups. More scrollable elements are also
715 recognized by the `f` and `zf` commands.
716 - Improved: The right border of hint markers for scrollable elements is now
717 styled to remind of a scroll bar, making them easier to recognize among hints
718 for links.
719 - Improved/Changed: `J` and `gJ` now allow a count on the first tab.
720 Consequently, `K` and `gK` now allow a count on the _last_ tab.
721 - Changed: `gJ` and `gK` can no longer be used to pin or unpin tabs. They now
722 only wrap around tabs of the same pinned state. Use `gp` to toggle between
723 pinned and non-pinned.
724 - Fixed: Many elements that got a hint before VimFx 0.6.0 now do again.
725 - Improved: Comment fields on Facebook can now be focused using `f` and blurred
726 using `<escape>`.
727 - Improved: VimFx’s toolbar button is no greyed out when you focus a text input.
728 This is to show that your key presses will be passed into the text input
729 rather than activating VimFx commands.
730 - Added: [`g0`, `g^` and `g$` now accept counts][tab-index-counts], allowing you
731 to go to tab number _count._
732 - Improved: `gi` now finds text inputs inside frames.
733 - Fixed: “gi mode” is now exited properly when blurring a text input.
734 - Fixed: `<select>` elements are no longer considered to be text inputs when
735 using `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` in “gi mode.”
736 - Fixed: Using `<force>` or `<late>` in a shortcut no longer applies to _every_
737 shortcut for the command, but only that shortcut.
738 - Fixed: The order of the Previous/Next page patterns is now respected. This
739 caused the wrong link to be picked by the `[` and `]` commands on some pages.

744
745 ### 0.6.2 (2015-11-11)
746
747 - Improved: If the entire page isn’t scrollable, the largest scrollable element
748 is scrolled instead.
749 - Fixed: VimFx’s keyboard shortcuts now works on slowly loading pages.
750 - Fixed: Numbers may now be used as shortcut keys (overriding counts).
751 - Fixed: The toolbar button’s icon is now correctly sized in high DPI.
752 - Fixed: Hint markers are now correctly positioned when zooming using the “Zoom
753 text only” option.
754 - Fixed: The `P` command now works with the InstantFox add-on.
755
756 ### 0.6.1 (2015-11-10)
757
758 - Fixed: If you customized the “esc” command before VimFx 0.6.0 it should now
759 work as expected.
760 - Fixed: `<tab>` now works as expected in the location bar and in the dev tools.
761 - Fixed: Light-weight themes can no longer make VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
762 dialog and hint markers unreadable.
763 - Added: The [notifications\_enabled] option.
764
765 [notifications\_enabled]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/56c4b7c514ea8b58d2cdcecf3d2654648c48ca31/documentation/options.md#notifications_enabled
766
767 ### 0.6.0 (2015-11-09)
768
769 ##### Most important (breaking) changes
770
771 - VimFx now works properly with **any keyboard layout.** Users of **multiple
772 layouts** should enable the **[ignore keyboard layout] option.** #249 #259
773
774 - Features related to disabling VimFx, and to the [toolbar button]:
775
776 - **Insert Mode** has been renamed to **_Ignore_ mode.**
777 - **[Blacklisted][blacklist] sites** now **enter Ignore mode automatically,**
778 instead of being specially handled.
779 - The feature to click the toolbar button (or press `<a-V>`) to **disable
780 VimFx** has been **removed.** Use **Ignore mode** (`i`) and the
781 **[blacklist] instead.**
782 - The **toolbar button** is now **red in Ignore mode** (which also means that
783 it is red on blacklisted sites) and green otherwise (never grey anymore).
784 - The toolbar button no longer offers to (un-)blacklist the current domain.
785 (Head into VimFx’s settings page in the Add-ons Manager and add
786 `*currentdomain.com*` to the [blacklist] option yourself instead.)

788 (See [commit 3552282] for more information.)
789
790 - **Some default shortcuts have changed,** mostly because they conflicted with
791 standard Firefox shortcuts: #308
792
793 - `<c-J>` → `gJ`
794
795 - `<c-K>` → `gK`
796
797 - `g^` and `gH` → `g0`
798
799 `g^` now selects the first _non pinned_ tab instead, while `g0`
800 selects the first tab regardless of whether it is pinned or not. #317
801
802 - `<c-e>` (alias for `j`) and `<c-y>` (alias for `k`) have been removed.
803
804 - `<c-f>` → `<space>` and `<c-b>` → `<s-space>`
805
806 - `vf` → `zf`
807
808 This frees up `v` for future shortcuts (instead making `z` a
809 “namespace” key, just like in Vim).
810
811 - To **exit Ignore mode:** `<escape>` → `<s-escape>`. This is because Ignore
812 mode has replaced the disable feature, as well as the special blacklist
813 state (see above). Sites are likely to use `<escape>` but not `<s-escape>`.
814 (In a way, this new role of Ignore mode also means that the old (many times
815 broken) shortcut to disable VimFx (`<a-V>`) has been replaced by `i`.) #64
816 \#375 #432
817
818 - VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now help only, and more accessible.
819 To **customize keyboard shortcuts,** go to VimFx’s settings page **in the
820 Add-ons Manager,** just like you would to customize other settings. Also,
821 **commas** between every key are **no longer needed:** Type `gJ` instead of
822 `g,J`.
823
824 - For performance reasons, **Hint markers** are now placed vertically **centered
825 instead of at the top** of the element. Don’t be surprised if you see the same
826 hint repeated several times**—links that go to the same place now get the same
827 hint.** The “Smart hints” option has been removed—hints are _always_ smart
828 now, and a lot smarter than before. Finally, hints now also work in the new
829 tab page, the Add-ons Manager and the preferences page. If you want to, you
830 can read more about [the `f` commands]. \#51 #60 #176 #320 #325 #468 #471 #475
831
832 - The **`F`** command now _always_ opens tabs in new **background** tabs, while
833 **`gf`** has been added to open tabs in new **foreground** tabs. #227 #464
834
835 - **Autofocus prevention** is now **off by default.** One of VimFx’s core
836 philosophies is to be nice to your browser habits. Some find autofocus
837 prevention too big a change. Turn it on again if you like it! By the way,
838 autofocus prevention now works much more reliably and should not cause issues
839 with other extensions. #497 #541
840
841 - The **“Scroll step”** option has been **removed**. The scrolling commands that
842 used it now **work like the arrow keys instead,** and are customized just like
843 them. See [scrolling prefs] for more information.
844
845 - Speaking of scrolling, **which elements scrolls** when you use VimFx’s
846 scrolling commands **has changed.** See [scrolling commands] for more
847 information.
848
849 ##### New features
850
851 - New commands:
852
853 - `gp` pins or unpins the current tab. (Also see `g^` and `g0` mentioned
854 above.) #121
855 - `yt` duplicates the current tab. #121
856 - `0` and `^` scroll to the far left, and `$` scrolls to the far right.
857 - [`gi`] has finally been implemented. #47
858 - [Ignore mode `<s-f1>`] let you run a Normal mode command without exiting
859 Ignore mode.
860
861 - In Hints mode you can now hold ctrl and alt to change behavior of the matched
862 marker. Hold shift to temporarily make the hints see-through. See [the `f`
863 commands] for more information. #220 #421 #484
864
865 - Some commands now accept [counts]. #374
866
867 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that work inside text inputs. See the
868 [`<force>`] key for more information. #258
869
870 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that the page can override. See the
871 [`<late>`] key for more information.
872
873 - A number of [advanced options] have been added. Rather than listing everything
874 regarding them here, follow that link if you’re interested. #452 #489
875
876 - You may now, if you want to, configure VimFx through a [config file], using
877 the new [public API]. Customizing VimFx through a config file also gives extra
878 abilities, such as [site-specific options][option-overrides] and [disabling
879 certain commands on certain sites][key-overrides]. It also allows to add
880 [custom commands] \(and other extensions to extend VimFx). #158 #235 #255 #261
881 \#300 #408 #445 #490 #515
882
883 - It is now easier to customize VimFx through custom [styling]. An example is
884 changing the way hint markers look. #220 #233 #424 #432 #465
885
886 - VimFx now has [documentation] and a [wiki].
887
888 - A few new locales were added:
889
890 - fr. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r)!
891 - pt-BR. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)!
892 - sv-SE. Thanks to Andreas Lindhé (@lindhe)!
893
894 ##### Improvements
895
896 - VimFx is now multi-process/Electrolysis/e10s compatible! This means that you
897 can run VimFx on a version of Firefox with multi-process enabled without
898 issues, and that we’re future proof for the day when Firefox becomes
899 multi-process by default. Best of all, it also made VimFx more reliable in
900 non-multi-process (“regular”) Firefox. #378
901
902 - The `[` and `]` commands are now smarter, recognizing more links to the
903 previous/next page correctly. You may read more about [previous/next page
904 patterns]. #396
905
906 - The `n` and `N` commands now notify you when they wrap around the page, or the
907 phrase you searched for could not be found. #398
908
909 - _All_ shortcuts in _all modes_ can now be customized. For example, this allows
910 you to disable VimFx’s Vim-style `<enter>` behavior in the find bar. #222 #390
911 \#421
912
913 - The `p` and `P` commands are now smarter regarding whether to treat the
914 clipboard contents as a URL or a search, by working exactly like pasting in
915 the location bar. They also now read the selection clipboard, if available.
916 \#353 #382
917
918 - VimFx’s toolbar button is now properly implemented. #303 #349 #383
919
920 - Most locales were updated. Thanks to our awesome [translators]!
921
922 ##### Minor bug fixes
923
924 - VimFx now works correctly in tabs dragged to other windows. #57
925 - The `p` command is no longer broken. #494
926 - Non-ASCII shortcut keys now work properly. #433
927 - The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog can no longer be covered by page elements.
928 \#477
929 - Hint markers can no longer be covered by page elements.
930 - VimFx no longer causes scripts on icloud.com to get stuck in an infinite loop.

956
957 ### 0.5.17 (2015-01-23)
958
959 - Fixed: The hints generation no longer crashes on some pages (regression since
960 version 0.5.15).
961
962 ### 0.5.16 (2015-01-22)
963
964 - Fixed: The toolbar button no longer throws errors. (This fix should have been
965 in 0.5.15 but was forgotten. Luckily an AMO reviewer found it.)
966
967 ### 0.5.15 (2015-01-21)
968
969 - Improved: This version is now forwards-compatible with the upcoming version
970 0.6.0. Downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.14 or older might cause VimFx to crash,
971 but downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.15 is safe.
972 - Fixed: Non-hintchars key presses in hints mode are now suppressed. They used
973 to be passed along to the browser, which could confusingly activate site
974 commands.
975 - Fixed: The 'f' command now always opens links in the same tab. Links used to
976 be able to force a new tab or window.
977 - Fixed: Pressing 'Esc' in the location bar now restores the URL, as is the
978 default behaviour of Firefox. You may now also close Firefox dialogs using
979 'Esc'.
980 - Improved: Updated the de locale. Thanks to Alexander Haeussler!
981 - Improved: Updated the pl locale. Thanks to morethanoneanimal!
982
983 ### 0.5.14 (2014-08-16)
984
985 - Fixed: Locales should now work properly.
986 - Improved: Updated the zh-CN locale (@mozillazg).
987 - Improved: Updated the de locale (@Kambfhase).
988 - Added: Japanese locale (@pluser).
989 - Fixed: If you switched to another tab or window while an `<input>` element
990 was focused and then switched back, the `<input>` element got blurred, while
991 it should have stayed focused. This caused the auto-type feature of KeePassX
992 to break.
993
994 ### 0.5.13 (2014-08-02)
995
996 - Fixed: The vote button on StackExchange sites are now markable again.
997 - Improved: Detection of previous/next links. Should work better on gmail now.
998 - Fixed: It is now possible to use Enter/Return in keyboard shortcuts.
999 - Improved: The n/N commands (etc.) now work even if you didn’t open the finbar
1000 using the VimFx command (such as the default key binding ctrl+f, or by
1001 clicking a menu item).
1002 - Improved: It is now possible to blur text inputs without sending Esc to the
1003 page, which could cause dialogs etc. to annoyingly close.
1004 - Improved: Updated the el-GR locale (@sirodoht).
1005 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention sometimes made text inputs impossible to focus
1006 until you reloaded the page.
1007 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now works on more sites than before.
1008 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now prevents _all_ automatic focusing (not
1009 just when the page loads). This makes devdocs.io much easier to use.
1010 - Added: When viewing images directly and the image has been resized to fit the
1011 screen the image is now markable, allowing you to toggle zoom on it using the
1012 keyboard.
1013 - Fixed: It is no longer possible to add conflicting shortcuts (such as adding
1014 'a' when 'af' and 'as' are already present).
1015
1016 ### 0.5.12 (2014-06-01)
1017
1018 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention got stuck sometimes, making it impossible to
1019 focus inputs.
1020
1021 ### 0.5.11 (2014-06-01)
1022
1023 - Fixed: The focus search bar command was broken.
1024 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention was broken.
1025 - Fixed: The top bar on YouTube could not be accessed by VimFx.
1026 - Fixed: You can no longer add blank hotkeys.
1027 - Improved: Tab Groups are supported.
1028 - Improved: Matching of previous/next links should be more reliable.
1029 - Improved: A few minor things.
1030
1031 ### 0.5.10 (2014-05-07)
1032
1033 - Fixed yet another bug related to the default preferences
1034
1035 ### 0.5.9 (2014-05-04)
1036
1037 - Fixed a bug with default preferences not being set
1038 - Fixed gg and G to be faster
1039
1040 ### 0.5.8 (2014-04-18)
1041
1042 - AMO Preliminary Review bug fix (sorry for such long delay)
1043
1044 ### 0.5.7 (2014-03-03)
1045
1046 - Bug fix
1047
1048 ### 0.5.6 (2014-02-26)
1049
1050 - Updated some translations
1051 - Updated pagination patterns and logic
1052
1053 ### 0.5.5 (2014-01-03)
1054
1055 - Hotfix release to address a bug that has been introduced in 0.5.4
1056
1057 ### 0.5.4 (2014-01-03)
1058
1059 - Fix for popup passthrough mode stucking
1060 - Make toolbar button click depend on current mode

1068 - Update zh-CN localization
1069
1070 ### 0.5.3 (2013-10-16)
1071
1072 - Lots of refactoring
1073 - Insert mode (`i` command)
1074 - Follow multiple links with `af` command
1075 - Hint marker rotation with `space` while in hints mode
1076
1077 ### 0.5.1 (2013-08-21)

1086 - Invisible elements will not get hint markers

1088 - Simple shortcut customization with UI in Help dialog
1089 - Use Huffman coding algorithm for hint markers generation which results in
1090 shorter links

1094 - Find disabled on non HTML documents
1095 - Find string is now global for all windows.

1132 - Added `gh` command that will navigate to the home page.
1133 - Added `o` command to focus location bar.
1134 - `p` and `P` will parse the contents of the clipboard. If the string in the
