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

143
144 Thanks to Tobias Girstmair (@girst)!
145
146 ### 0.21.0 (2019-05-15)
147
148 - Removed: The Developer Toolbar integration, such as the `:` shortcut. That
149 feature has been removed from Firefox and the integration was causing issues
150 on newer Firefox versions. Thanks to Tobias Girstmair (@girst)!
151 - Fixed: VimFx should now work on Waterfox again. Tested with Waterfox 56,
152 Firefox 56, Firefox 64 and Waterfox 68. Thanks to Tobias Girstmair (@girst)
153 and @matsuhav!
154
155 ### 0.20.15 (2018-08-06)
156
157 - Fixed: Find mode now works properly again. Thanks to @matsuhav!
158
159 ### 0.20.14 (2018-05-15)
160
161 - Fixed: VimFx should now work properly in Firefox 61 (if you have enabled
162 legacy extensions) as well as older versions of Firefox. The latest few
163 versions have been a bit buggy, but things should work better now. Thanks to
164 Kevin Cox (@kevincox) and 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
165
166 ### 0.20.13 (2018-05-06)
167
168 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 61 (if you have enabled legacy
169 extensions). Thanks to Kevin Cox (@kevincox), 依云 (@lilydjwg) and Jan
170 Kokemüller (@jiixyj)!
171
172 ### 0.20.12 (2018-01-23)
173
174 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 59 (if you have enabled legacy
175 extensions). Thanks to Kevin Cox (@kevincox) and 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
176 - Updated locale: es. Thanks to @strel!
177
178 ### 0.20.11 (2017-11-19)
179
180 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 58 (if you have enabled legacy
181 extensions). Thanks to 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
182
183 ### 0.20.10 (2017-03-25)
184
185 - Improved: Autofocus is now prevented when going back in history on pages that
186 use `history.pushState()` (in other words, on the 'popstate' event).
187 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!
188
189 ### 0.20.9 (2017-02-21)
190
191 - Fixed: The `yy` command now works as expected in Reader Mode.
192
193 ### 0.20.8 (2017-01-14)
194
195 - Improved: The scrolling commands now scroll the closest scrollable parent of
196 the currently focused element (if it is not scrollable itself). This is
197 noticeable for Twitter’s modals, which are often scrollable. No longer any
198 need to use the `f` or `ef` commands to scroll those modals!
199
200 ### 0.20.7 (2017-01-07)
201
202 - Improved: The `[` and `]` commands now work in Google search results.
203 - Improved: You can now show the “emoji picker” of the “like” button on Facebook
204 by using the `ef` command.
205 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @interleaved!
206
207 ### 0.20.6 (2016-12-16)
208
209 - Fixed: The `'`, `g[` and `g]` commands no longer crash. (Regression since
210 0.20.5.)
211 - Fixed: The `ef` command can now focus elements in deeply nested frames again.
212 (Regression since 0.19.0.)
213 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` and `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` are now properly
214 undone when reloading a config file (`gC`).
215 - Improved: Hint markers for elements with multiline text no longer cover the
216 text.
217 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @interleaved!
218
219 ### 0.20.5 (2016-12-04)
220
221 - Fixed: Scrolling by holding `d`, `u`, `<space>` or `<s-space>` no longer goes
222 slower and slower (and finally grinding to a halt) on long pages with lots of
223 elements. (See also the [`scroll.repeat_timeout`] pref.)
224 - Improved: All config API functions now validate all their parameters properly.
225 This provides a better user experience, and, most importantly, prevents VimFx
226 from crashing on certain invalid input.
227
228 [`scroll.repeat_timeout`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/58deb3f7b7c470a4d705f1dabf7aa13e095e8d09/documentation/options.md#smooth-scrolling
229
230 ### 0.20.4 (2016-11-16)
231
232 - Fixed: The `n` and `N` commands now work in Firefox’s PDF viewer.
233 - Fixed: The `eb` command can now click the tab bar scroll buttons.
234 - Fixed: Elements marked by the `eb` command now correctly get hints based on
235 their area again.
236 - Improved: The `eb` command now favors the browser tabs and their close
237 buttons, giving them better hints.
238 - Improved: The hints given to the browser tabs by the `eb` command are now
239 consistent no matter how many tabs you have open. This means that the first
240 tab always gets the same hint, the second tab always get the same hint, and so
241 on.
242 - Improved: Hint markers are now placed next to the text of the element if
243 appropriate. For example, the hint marker for a button with centered text is
244 now placed just to the left of the text rather than at the left edge of
245 button. This is nice because it means that hint markers usually end up where
246 you were just reading.
247 - Improved: The positioning of hint markers has been fine-tuned by a pixel or so
248 in some cases.
249 - Improved: Custom styled checkboxes and radio buttons now get hint markers
250 faster (they are now found in the first pass rather than the second).
251 - Improved: Compatibility with the [Tab Center] add-on.
252 - Improved: Blurring the location bar is now more consistent. Previously, its
253 text wasn’t reset if the autocomplete popup was open when you pressed
254 `<escape>` to blur it.
255 - Fixed: An edge case where the wrong hint markers could be highlighted.
256
257 [Tab Center]: https://testpilot.firefox.com/experiments/tab-center/
258
259 ### 0.20.3 (2016-10-22)
260
261 - Improved: Full page scrolling now recognizes the fixed footer on medium.com.
262 - Fixed: Scrollable element can now be focused with the `f` command again (not
263 just with the `ef` command). (Regression since 0.19.0.)
264 - Fixed: `<escape>` is no longer accidentally leaked to the page when used to
265 blur text inputs. This allows blurring text inputs in modals without closing
266 the modal (which `<escape>` commonly does otherwise).
267
268 ### 0.20.2 (2016-10-16)
269
270 - Fixed: Text inputs and links inside frames can now be focused using hint
271 commands again. (Regression since 0.19.0.)
272 - Improved: Previously focused text inputs inside frames no longer steal the
273 focus when entering Caret mode in that frame.
274 - Improved: When several hint markers have the same hint (because their links
275 go to the same place), the _largest_ of those links is now chosen when
276 activating that hint. This might be noticeable via focus styling.
277 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @av2000ii!
278
279 ### 0.20.1 (2016-10-09)
280
281 - Improved: Caret mode is now a bit more robust. It can no longer make you end
282 up with [Firefox’s own Caret mode] accidentally enabled.
283 - Improved: If you try use for example `<ctrl>-j` as a keyboard shortcut, VimFx
284 will now tell you that you probably want `<c-j>` instead.
285 - Fixed: Using a keyboard shortcut to switch keyboard layout in GNOME while
286 inside a text input no longer causes the focus of that text input to be lost
287 when the Prevent autofocus option is enabled.
288 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @av2000ii!
289
290 [Firefox’s own Caret mode]: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Accessibility_features_of_Firefox#Allow_text_to_be_selected_with_the_keyboard
291
292 ### 0.20.0 (2016-10-02)
293
294 - Added: The `g[` and `g]` commands, which let you scroll to previous and next
295 scroll positions of the current page. This is similar to Vim’s jump list.
296 - Added: The `/` mark. Pressing `'/` takes you to the scroll position before the
297 last `/`, `a/` or `g/`.
298 - Fixed: Pressing `''` multiple times in a row now flips back and forth
299 between two scroll positions as expected.
300 - Fixed: Version 0.19.0 claimed to include the following improvement: “The hint
301 marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for a larger
302 element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).” However, a silly
303 mistake caused that improvement not to work. Now it does. For real.
304 - Fixed: All VimFx commands that copy text to the clipboard are now made sure to
305 also copy to the “selection clipboard” (if your system has such a thing). For
306 example, if you copy text using the `yv` command, the `p` command now uses
307 that copied text as expected.
308
309 ### 0.19.1 (2016-09-26)
310
311 - Fixed: The `'` command no longer crashes. (Regression since 0.19.0.)
312
313 ### 0.19.0 (2016-09-25)
314
315 #### Changes and improvements to Hints mode
316
317 **New feature:** Hint markers can now be filtered by element text, similar to
318 Vimium, Vimperator and Pentadactyl. This is useful for people who simply prefer
319 that workflow, and for clicking tiny pagination links (simply type its number!).
320
321 By default, filtering by element text is done by typing _uppercase_ characters
322 (hold down shift!). All characters other than the hint characters are now used
323 to filter hint markers by element text (rather than just being ignored). Do you
324 prefer filtering by element text, but dislike typing uppercase letters? Have a
325 look at how [hint characters] work to make things the other way around!
326
327 The markers with the best hint are now highlighted with a different color. You
328 may at any time press `<enter>` to activate those markers (or `<c-enter>` or
329 `<a-enter>` to change where and how to open links, just like you can hold ctrl
330 or alt for the last hint character).
331
332 Because of the above new features, the following default **Hints mode shortcuts
333 had to be changed:**
334
335 - `<space>` → `<c-space>` (`<s-space>` is left untouched)
336 - `<s->` → `<c-s->` (hold ctrl _and_ shift to peek through hint markers)
337 - `<enter>` → `<up>`
338 - `<c-enter>` → `<c-backspace>`
339
340 To make it easier to see the element text, hint markers are now nudged to the
341 left if they cover the text.
342
343 Other hint marker improvements:
344
345 - Hint markers are now 20% smaller by default. While trying to match text sizes
346 set by your operating system, they ended up a bit too large on most systems.
347 Check out the [Styling] documentation if you’d like to change the font size.
348 - Hint markers now have stronger contrast between the background color and the
349 text color, which should make them easier to read.
350 - The CSS for hint markers have been improved, making it easier to use custom
351 [Styling].
352 - When several elements have the same area, the best hint is now correctly given
353 to the _first_ of those elements. Previously, it happened to be the other way
354 around.
355 - The hint marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for
356 a larger element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).
357 - Hint markers are now better positioned when having zoomed the page in or out.
358 - Hints mode is now more robust in general. Several race conditions have been
359 fixed.

363
364 #### Other updates
365
366 - Added: The ability to **export, import and reset all** VimFx options. There
367 are three shiny new buttons for this in VimFx’s options page in the Add-ons
368 Manager!
369 - Added: The `gB` command, which lets you **quickly blacklist** (and
370 un-blacklist) sites.
371 - Added: The `ec` command, for opening the context menu of elements.
372 - Added: The `ep` command, for opening links in new private windows.
373 - Improved: `h`, `l`, `j` and `k` now feel more like scrolling with the arrow
374 keys when held down, by boosting the scrolling speed. See the
375 [`scroll.horizontal_boost` and `scroll.vertical_boost`][scroll-boost] options
376 for more information.
377 - Fixed: VimFx’s find bar integration is now much more robust. Most notably, if
378 you start typing directly after pressing `/` and Firefox is slow at opening
379 the find bar, your keypresses can no longer trigger VimFx commands or Firefox
380 built-in commands.
381 - Improved: VimFx no longer leaks keypresses to the web page in some modes. (For
382 example, counts in Caret mode).
383 - Improved: The `eb` command now finds more clickable elements in the devtools.
384 - Changed: `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` no longer lets you easily break for example
385 Hints mode, by now only being applied to Normal mode. You might need to change
386 your matchers from `(location, mode) => ...` to simply `location => ...`.
387 (Breaking API change.)
388 - Changed: The object passed to custom commands (and custom modes) no longer
389 contains a `uiEvent` property. Instead, there’s an `event` property. This
390 property can be used the same way if you check `vim.isUIEvent(event)` first.
391 (Breaking API change.)
392
393 [scroll-boost]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8bafdf0454043c1630bac8b13d13f1fb4e5ee9e7/documentation/options.md#scrollhorizontal_boost-and-scrollvertical_boost
394
395 ### 0.18.1 (2016-08-27)
396
397 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` no longer crashes on startup.
398 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` can now override the `prevent_autofocus`
399 pref again.
400
401 ### 0.18.0 (2016-08-20)
402
403 #### Changed default shortcuts
404
405 Some default keyboard shortcuts have been changed.
406
407 - Hint commands. Many of the old ones were difficult to remember, and there was
408 no space for adding new ones.
409
410 - `gf` → `et` (t as in tab)
411 - `gF` → `ew` (w as in window)
412 - `zf` → `ef` (f as in focus)
413 - `zF` → `eb` (b as in browser)
414 - `zv` → `av` (you actually select _all_ of the element’s text)
415
416 (`f`, `yf`, `af`, `v` and `yv` stay unchanged.)
417
418 There is a longer [explanation of these new defaults][hint-shortcuts] in the
419 documentation.
420
421 - `zr` → `gC`. `zr` was the only shortcut starting with `z`. This frees that key
422 up for other uses.
423
424 - `` ` `` → `'`. The `` ` `` shortcut (“scroll to mark”) as well as the `` ` ``
425 mark (“last position mark”) have both been changed to `'`. Both `` ` `` and
426 `'` are used in Vim. `'` is a better default, because it is easier to
427 type–both on an en-US QWERTY keyboard and, more importantly, on some
428 international layouts, such as the sv-SE QWERTY layout.
429
430 Note: If you miss Firefox’s default `'` shortcut to open the Quick Find bar
431 (which is now overridden), remember that VimFx provides `g/` which does the
432 same thing. (You can of course also change VimFx’s shortcuts.)
433

437 [#788]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/issues/788
438
439 #### Other updates
440
441 - Added: It is now possible to create [custom hint commands].
442 - Fixed: The bottom-right corner of the page scrollbars can now be used with the
443 mouse again.
444 - Fixed: The toolbar button now correctly toggles VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts
445 dialog again.
446 - Updated locales: fr, ru. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r) and Nicholas
447 Guriev (@mymedia2)!
448
449 [custom hint commands]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/e8d9df31dd5c8df999ac22e3b3b8d548a68c6fa7/documentation/api.md#custom-hint-commands
450
451 ### 0.17.4 (2016-07-11)
452
453 - Improved: The usage of modifier keys in Hints mode is now shown in VimFx’s
454 Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog. The functionality has been there for a long
455 time, but should now be easier to find. Thanks to our awesome translators,
456 the new help text is already available in most supported locales!
457 - Improved: If you submit a form while still being inside one of its text
458 inputs, that text input is now automatically blurred. This lets you use VimFx
459 commands while waiting for the form to submit without having to press
460 `<escape>` first.
461 - Improved: The `gu` command now works better on some pages, by preserving a
462 trailing slash. Thanks to @sinkuu!
463 - Improved: VimFx now recognizes text areas in the TYPO3 CMS.
464 - Improved: The `<escape>` command and the toolbar button now let you escape
465 back to Normal mode if VimFx ever gets stuck thinking that you are typing in a
466 text input.
467
468 ### 0.17.3 (2016-06-27)
469
470 - Improved: The `zF` command can now open even more dropdown menus of buttons.
471
472 ### 0.17.2 (2016-06-19)
473
474 - Improved: The `zF` command now works with more buttons and is able to open
475 dropdown menus of buttons.
476 - Fixed: The `f` commands now recognize more file upload buttons.
477 - Fixed: Rotating hint markers now works more as expected after having entered a
478 few hint chars.
479 - Fixed: Scrolling now works in SVG documents.
480 - Fixed: Opening links in new tabs in Firefox 50.
481 - Updated locales: pt-BR and ru. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)
482 and Nicholas Guriev (@mymedia2)!
483
484 ### 0.17.1 (2016-06-12)
485
486 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer accidentally double-clicks instead of
487 single-clicking. Thanks to Alan Wu (@XrXr)!
488 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer crashes in Firefox 49+.
489 - Fixed: The “URL popup,” shown when hovering or focusing links, now appears
490 again when focusing links using `zf` (regression since 0.17.0).
491 - Updated locale: it. Thanks to Carlo Bertoldi (@cbertoldi)!
492
493 ### 0.17.0 (2016-06-08)
494
495 - Fixed: VimFx no longer scrolls smaller elements on a page instead of the
496 entire page on some sites.
497 - Improved: The `/`, `n` and `N` have been drastically sped up (when
498 [`find_from_top_of_viewport`][find_from_top_of_viewport-1] is on). Previously,
499 they appeared to freeze on some sites, but not anymore.
500 - Improved: You can no longer accidentally trigger VimFx between pressing `/`
501 and the find bar input being is focused.
502 - Improved: The `n` and `N` commands are now more robust.
503 - Improved: “Fullscreen” buttons and “Copy to clipboard” buttons can now be
504 activated the `f` command. Thanks to Alan Wu (@XrXr)!
505 - Changed: After having pressed `m` or `` ` `` VimFx no longer waits
506 indefinitely for you to press a mark key. Instead, the [timeout] option is
507 honored.
508 - Changed: After having pressed `m` or `` ` `` you can now press `<escape>` to
509 abort those commands.
510 - Changed: Find mode is no longer shown in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
511 dialog, to reduce clutter. (This can be changed through custom
512 [styling][styling-1].)
513 - Changed: The `?` command as well as the toolbar button now _toggle_ VimFx’s
514 Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (instead of always showing it, even if it was
515 already shown.)
516 - Changed: Counts are now ignored in Ignore mode. Previously, pressing number
517 keys would both send those key presses to the page _and_ contribute to the
518 count for commands (showing up in the bottom-right corner). This is no longer
519 the case.
520 - Updated locales: fr, zh-CN and zh-TW. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r),
521 @av2000ii and Robert Wang (@cyberrob)!

526
527 ### 0.16.1 (2016-05-29)
528
529 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer crashes (regression since 0.16.0).
530
531 ### 0.16.0 (2016-05-29)
532
533 - Fixed: The text input focus detection problems introduced in 0.15.1, which
534 sometimes caused VimFx commands to be triggered while typing in text inputs,
535 have been fixed.
536 - Improved: If you press `n` or `N` when there are are no matches for your
537 search, the find bar is no longer opened. Only a notification is shown. The
538 reliability of those notifications has also been improved.
539 - Improved: Hints mode now finds more links.
540 - Improved: Pressing `<c-enter>` in Hints mode now includes more elements.
541 - Updated locales: es, zh-CN. Thanks to @strel and @av2000ii!
542
543 ### 0.15.1 (2016-05-22)
544
545 - Improved: Better hints on Twitter.
546 - Improved: Compatibility with the [Evernote Web Clipper] add-on (and
547 potentially other add-ons with similar UI).
548 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!
549
550 [Evernote Web Clipper]: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/evernote-web-clipper/
551
552 ### 0.15.0 (2016-05-18)
553
554 - Improved: Hint markers now appear up to twice as fast on many pages. This is
555 done by creating the hint markers in two phases. Most are created in the
556 first, fast, phase. The rest take the same time as older VimFx versions to
557 show up.
558 - Fixed: VimFx no longer triggers commands while typing in fancy text inputs on
559 some sites, such as when composing a new tweet on Twitter. (See also the
560 [`blur_timeout`] pref.)
561 - Changed: The `<c-enter>` Hints mode command no longer _replaces_ all hint
562 markers on screen (with new ones for all elements on screen). Instead, it
563 _toggles_ your current hint markers with ones for all _other_ elements on
564 screen.
565 - Changed: There was a breaking change to the [`vimfx.setHintMatcher`] function
566 of the `frame.js` config file API. It no longer receives and returns an object
567 (of the shape `{type, semantic}`), but instead simply receives and returns the
568 `type` of the element.
569 - Improved: Some internal robustness refactoring.
570 - Updated locales: de, id, nl and zh-CN. Thanks to @just-barcodes, Yoppy
571 Halilintar (@comepradz), @HJTP, @av2000ii and @mozillazg.

575
576 ### 0.14.3 (2016-05-08)
577
578 - Fixed: Version 0.14.2 attempted to fix smooth scrolling speed in newer Firefox
579 versions. However, there was a tiny typo that caused the fix not to work. That
580 typo has been corrected.
581
582 ### 0.14.2 (2016-05-08)
583
584 - Fixed: Smooth scrolling speed is now correct again in newer Firefox versions.
585 - Fixed: The `yv` Caret mode command now only copies text that you can see on
586 screen (not any hidden text that might be on the page), making it truly work
587 like `zv` followed by `y`, as intended. This problem was very noticeable on
588 Slack. This also improves copying of 'contenteditable' elements using `yf`.
589 - Fixed: `<escape>` and arrow key handling as well as hint markers in the
590 devtools now work correctly again in newer Firefox versions.
591 - Fixed: VimFx no longer makes it impossible to open the Developer Toolbar.
592 - Improved: VimFx now ignores `<numlock>` and `<capslock>`. If your keyboard
593 sends `<numlock>` before some symbols, such as `<numlock>$` instead of just
594 `$`, shortcuts like `gx$` now work out of the box. This also means that you
595 can use `<capslock>` instead of `<shift>` when typing the `J` in `gJ`, for
596 example.
597 - Improved: Some minor cosmetic tweaks in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
598 dialog.
599
600 ### 0.14.1 (2016-04-30)
601
602 - Fixed: The Find commands (such as `/`, `n` and `N`) no longer crash on some
603 sites (regression since 0.14.0).
604
605 ### 0.14.0 (2016-04-29)
606
607 - Added: [Caret mode], which lets you copy text from web pages using the
608 keyboard.
609 - Improved: The Find commands (such as `/`, `n` and `N`) now search from the top
610 of the viewport, instead of from the top of the document, which is more
611 Vim-like and less disorienting. To read more about it (or to return to the
612 Firefox default behavior) please see the [`find_from_top_of_viewport`] pref.
613 - Improved: Compatibility with the [BackTrack Tab History] add-on.
614 - Added: The `<c-enter>` Hints mode command, which creates hint markers for
615 _all_ elements.
616 - Fixed: `__dirname` inside config files now works on Windows. Thanks to
617 Zhong Jianxin (@azuwis)!
618 - Fixed: Unnecessary full-page hint markers on some sites, such as Hackernews,
619 no longer appear.

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

719
720 ### 0.12.0 (2016-02-03)
721
722 - Improved: More clickable elements are now recognized. Most notably, elements
723 with click event listeners added by JavaScript now get hints.
724 - Improved: Autofocus prevention after using the `[` and `]` commands.
725 - Added: In VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (which can be opened by
726 pressing `?`) you can now click on any command to open VimFx’s settings page
727 in the Add-ons Manager and automatically select the text input for that
728 command, letting you edit its shortcuts. Tip: Use the `zF` command to click
729 without using the mouse.
730 - Changed: Autofocus is no longer prevented in Firefox internal pages, such as
731 `about:preferences`, `about:addons` and `about:config` (as well as other XUL
732 pages).
733 - Fixed: VimFx and the Beyond Australis extension do not conflict with each
734 other anymore.
735 - Fixed: The `gH` command no longer nags you about “No back/forward history”
736 even though there is.
737 - Added: The `gl` command now takes a [count][gl-count].
738 - Improved: Optimized CPU usage in Hints mode. (See also the [`hints_sleep`]
739 pref.)
740 - Improved: The `H` and `L` commands should now be more reliable in Firefox 43
741 and later.
742 - Changed: There was a tiny breaking change to the Public API, though I doubt it
743 will affect anyone. (See [commit 0ca807605e] if you’re especially interested.)
744 - Improved: _Several_ minor things, and some really nice internal refactoring.
745 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
746
747 [`hints_sleep`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/92b483c4a4f6da0b2c998267e0f01d3d999f93b6/documentation/options.md#hints_sleep

750
751 ### 0.11.0 (2016-01-15)
752
753 - Fixed: The `` ` `` command is no longer broken.
754 - Fixed: Memory leak.
755 - Added: The `gl` command, which takes you to the most recent tab.
756 - Improved: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now scrollable using VimFx’s
757 scrolling commands. To allow for this, the search field is no longer
758 autofocused. Instead, press `/` to open it.
759 - Improved: Using the `f` commands, such as `f` and `zf`, now works like
760 actually moving your mouse onto the link, making hover menus and such-like
761 appear.
762 - Improved: VimFx should now work better with Google Drive Documents, Etherpad
763 and a few other fancy text editors.
764 - Improved: The `]` command now works on google.com.
765 - Improved: Checkboxes and menu items on gmail.com are now given hints by the
766 `f` command.
767 - Improved: The `gi` command now also recognizes 'contenteditable' elements.
768 - Improved: Hint markers now move along together with their elements.
769 - Fixed: Hint markers should now be correctly positioned when zooming.
770 - Fixed: The toolbar button icon should now look correctly on Retina screens.
771 - Added: You may now disable counts by using toggling the [`counts_enabled`]
772 pref.
773 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
774 - Improved: Several minor things.
775
776 [`counts_enabled`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8dae7aec9008595da31b939d5ae2d239849cf6dc/documentation/options.md#counts_enabled
777
778 ### 0.10.0 (2015-12-09)
779
780 - Added: The `zF` command, which lets you click browser elements.
781 - Improved: The scrolling commands can now scroll browser elements (in other
782 words, not only web page content), by first selecting the scollable element
783 using `zF`.
784 - Added: The `gr` command, which toggles [Reader View].
785 - Added: The `gX` command, which opens the Recently Closed Tabs menu at the
786 middle of the screen.
787 - Added: The keys you’ve typed so far of a command, as well the count, are now
788 shown in a [notification]. (You may disable this using the
789 [`notify_entered_keys`] pref.)
790 - Improved: When commands don’t do anything, they show a [notification] instead,
791 letting you know that you actually pressed the right keys. For example, if you
792 press `f` but there are no markable elements visible, a notification is shown
793 telling you so, instead of silently doing nothing.
794 - Improved: `<space>` now scrolls _about a line less_ than a full page, just
795 like Firefox does by default. `d` scroll about _half_ a line less (by
796 default), so that pressing `d` twice works like pressing `<space>` once. (See
797 the [`scroll.full_page_adjustment` and `scroll.half_page_adjustment`] prefs
798 for more information.)
799 - Improved: `gi` now only selects all text in its text input if you haven’t
800 focused a text input yet (allowing you to easily replace pre-filled text),
801 instead of _always_ doing so. Otherwise, it now puts the cursor where you left
802 off typing the last time.
803 - Fixed: The `f` commands now put the cursor where you left off typing the last
804 time when focusing a text input. Previously, they accidentally selected all
805 text in the text input (use `zf` for that behavior).
806 - Fixed: Yet a scrolling fix. VimFx’s scrolling commands should now “just work”
807 on even more sites.
808 - Fixed: AltGr should now work out of the box on Windows. (See the
809 [`ignore_ctrl_alt`] pref for more information.)
810 - Removed: The el-GR, hu and pl locales were sadly too out of date to be useful,
811 and nobody has shown interest in updating them, so they were removed.
812 - Updated locales: id, de and zh-CN. Thanks to Yoppy Halilintar, @just-barcodes
813 and @mozillazg!
814 - Fixed: Several tiny bugs.

821
822 ### 0.9.0 (2015-12-02)
823
824 - Fixed: Links with the `onclick` attribute can now be opened in new tabs again.
825 (Regression since 0.8.0.)
826 - Fixed: The text size in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now
827 correctly resized.
828 - Added: The `gH` command. It opens the back/forward button context menu in the
829 middle of the window, allowing you to choose a history entry with the arrow
830 keys and `<enter>`.
831
832 ### 0.8.0 (2015-12-01)
833
834 - Fixed: VimFx now works properly in tabs moved to other windows.
835 - Fixed: An unreliable check for multi-process mode has been eliminated, fixing
836 various problems for some users.
837 - Fixed: VimFx’s toolbar button now changes color correctly when switching
838 between blacklisted and non-blacklisted tabs.
839 - Fixed: Dead keys now work out of the box on Windows.
840 - Improved: Links with the `onclick` attribute (abused as buttons) can no longer
841 get the same hint as another link.
842 - Added: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (shown by pressing `?`) is now
843 searchable.
844 - Added: The `g/` command. It’s like `/` but searches links only.
845
846 - Added: [Marks].
847
848 - Use `ma` to mark the current scroll position and `` `a `` to return to it.
849 (You may substitute `a` with any key press.)
850 - Use ``` `` ``` to return to the position before the last `gg`, `G`, `0`,
851 `$`, `/`, `n`, `N` or `` ` ``. (You can change this mark using the
852 [`last_scroll_position_mark`] pref.)
853
854 - Added: Window commands.
855
856 - `w`: Open new window.
857 - `W`: Open new private window.
858 - `gw`: Move tab to new window.
859 - `gF`: Follow link in new window.

863
864 ### 0.7.3 (2015-11-22)
865
866 - Fixed: Scrolling now works correctly in pages in quirks mode (lacking a
867 doctype), such as Hackernews.
868 - Improved: The largest scrollable element is now detected better in frames.
869 - Fixed: Hints mode now exits correctly when focusing a text input using `af`,
870 or `f` with a count.
871
872 ### 0.7.2 (2015-11-21)
873
874 - Fixed: The blinking text caret now always appears correctly when focusing text
875 inputs.
876
877 ### 0.7.1 (2015-11-21)
878
879 - Fixed: The scrolling commands should now “just work” when using non-default
880 zoom or DPI settings, most notably on Google Groups.
881
882 ### 0.7.0 (2015-11-19)
883
884 - Changed: Instead of using system notifications, which turned out to be a bit
885 too intrusive, [notifications] are now similar to the “URL popup” (shown when
886 hovering or focusing links) but are placed on the opposite side,.
887 - Changed: The “Focus next element” and “Focus previous element” commands have
888 been removed. The reason they existed was to let `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` only
889 cycle between text inputs (as opposed to _all_ focusable elements) after
890 you’ve pressed `gi`. Now, `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` are handled specially instead,
891 and _only_ after pressing `gi`. The reason for this change is that the now
892 removed commands were too intrusive, breaking user habits. One of VimFx’s main
893 goal is _not_ to do that. (You can turn the special handling of `<tab>` and
894 `<s-tab>` off using the the new [`focus_previous_key` and `focus_next_key`]
895 prefs.)
896 - Fixed: The scrolling commands should now “just work” in a lot more situations,
897 most notably on Gmail and Google Groups. More scrollable elements are also
898 recognized by the `f` and `zf` commands.
899 - Improved: The right border of hint markers for scrollable elements is now
900 styled to remind of a scroll bar, making them easier to recognize among hints
901 for links.
902 - Improved/Changed: `J` and `gJ` now allow a count on the first tab.
903 Consequently, `K` and `gK` now allow a count on the _last_ tab.
904 - Changed: `gJ` and `gK` can no longer be used to pin or unpin tabs. They now
905 only wrap around tabs of the same pinned state. Use `gp` to toggle between
906 pinned and non-pinned.
907 - Fixed: Many elements that got a hint before VimFx 0.6.0 now do again.
908 - Improved: Comment fields on Facebook can now be focused using `f` and blurred
909 using `<escape>`.
910 - Improved: VimFx’s toolbar button is no greyed out when you focus a text input.
911 This is to show that your key presses will be passed into the text input
912 rather than activating VimFx commands.
913 - Added: [`g0`, `g^` and `g$` now accept counts][tab-index-counts], allowing you
914 to go to tab number _count._
915 - Improved: `gi` now finds text inputs inside frames.
916 - Fixed: “gi mode” is now exited properly when blurring a text input.
917 - Fixed: `<select>` elements are no longer considered to be text inputs when
918 using `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` in “gi mode.”
919 - Fixed: Using `<force>` or `<late>` in a shortcut no longer applies to _every_
920 shortcut for the command, but only that shortcut.
921 - Fixed: The order of the Previous/Next page patterns is now respected. This
922 caused the wrong link to be picked by the `[` and `]` commands on some pages.

927
928 ### 0.6.2 (2015-11-11)
929
930 - Improved: If the entire page isn’t scrollable, the largest scrollable element
931 is scrolled instead.
932 - Fixed: VimFx’s keyboard shortcuts now works on slowly loading pages.
933 - Fixed: Numbers may now be used as shortcut keys (overriding counts).
934 - Fixed: The toolbar button’s icon is now correctly sized in high DPI.
935 - Fixed: Hint markers are now correctly positioned when zooming using the “Zoom
936 text only” option.
937 - Fixed: The `P` command now works with the InstantFox add-on.
938
939 ### 0.6.1 (2015-11-10)
940
941 - Fixed: If you customized the “esc” command before VimFx 0.6.0 it should now
942 work as expected.
943 - Fixed: `<tab>` now works as expected in the location bar and in the dev tools.
944 - Fixed: Light-weight themes can no longer make VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
945 dialog and hint markers unreadable.
946 - Added: The [notifications\_enabled] option.
947
948 [notifications\_enabled]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/56c4b7c514ea8b58d2cdcecf3d2654648c48ca31/documentation/options.md#notifications_enabled
949
950 ### 0.6.0 (2015-11-09)
951
952 ##### Most important (breaking) changes
953
954 - VimFx now works properly with **any keyboard layout.** Users of **multiple
955 layouts** should enable the **[ignore keyboard layout] option.** #249 #259
956
957 - Features related to disabling VimFx, and to the [toolbar button]:
958
959 - **Insert Mode** has been renamed to **_Ignore_ mode.**
960 - **[Blacklisted][blacklist] sites** now **enter Ignore mode automatically,**
961 instead of being specially handled.
962 - The feature to click the toolbar button (or press `<a-V>`) to **disable
963 VimFx** has been **removed.** Use **Ignore mode** (`i`) and the
964 **[blacklist] instead.**
965 - The **toolbar button** is now **red in Ignore mode** (which also means that
966 it is red on blacklisted sites) and green otherwise (never grey anymore).
967 - The toolbar button no longer offers to (un-)blacklist the current domain.
968 (Head into VimFx’s settings page in the Add-ons Manager and add
969 `*currentdomain.com*` to the [blacklist] option yourself instead.)
970
971 (See [commit 3552282] for more information.)
972
973 - **Some default shortcuts have changed,** mostly because they conflicted with
974 standard Firefox shortcuts: #308
975
976 - `<c-J>` → `gJ`
977
978 - `<c-K>` → `gK`
979
980 - `g^` and `gH` → `g0`
981
982 `g^` now selects the first _non pinned_ tab instead, while `g0`
983 selects the first tab regardless of whether it is pinned or not. #317
984
985 - `<c-e>` (alias for `j`) and `<c-y>` (alias for `k`) have been removed.
986
987 - `<c-f>` → `<space>` and `<c-b>` → `<s-space>`
988
989 - `vf` → `zf`
990
991 This frees up `v` for future shortcuts (instead making `z` a
992 “namespace” key, just like in Vim).
993
994 - To **exit Ignore mode:** `<escape>` → `<s-escape>`. This is because Ignore
995 mode has replaced the disable feature, as well as the special blacklist
996 state (see above). Sites are likely to use `<escape>` but not `<s-escape>`.
997 (In a way, this new role of Ignore mode also means that the old (many times
998 broken) shortcut to disable VimFx (`<a-V>`) has been replaced by `i`.) #64
999 \#375 #432
1000
1001 - VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now help only, and more accessible.
1002 To **customize keyboard shortcuts,** go to VimFx’s settings page **in the
1003 Add-ons Manager,** just like you would to customize other settings. Also,
1004 **commas** between every key are **no longer needed:** Type `gJ` instead of
1005 `g,J`.
1006
1007 - For performance reasons, **Hint markers** are now placed vertically **centered
1008 instead of at the top** of the element. Don’t be surprised if you see the same
1009 hint repeated several times**—links that go to the same place now get the same
1010 hint.** The “Smart hints” option has been removed—hints are _always_ smart
1011 now, and a lot smarter than before. Finally, hints now also work in the new
1012 tab page, the Add-ons Manager and the preferences page. If you want to, you
1013 can read more about [the `f` commands]. \#51 #60 #176 #320 #325 #468 #471 #475
1014
1015 - The **`F`** command now _always_ opens tabs in new **background** tabs, while
1016 **`gf`** has been added to open tabs in new **foreground** tabs. #227 #464
1017
1018 - **Autofocus prevention** is now **off by default.** One of VimFx’s core
1019 philosophies is to be nice to your browser habits. Some find autofocus
1020 prevention too big a change. Turn it on again if you like it! By the way,
1021 autofocus prevention now works much more reliably and should not cause issues
1022 with other extensions. #497 #541
1023
1024 - The **“Scroll step”** option has been **removed**. The scrolling commands that
1025 used it now **work like the arrow keys instead,** and are customized just like
1026 them. See [scrolling prefs] for more information.
1027
1028 - Speaking of scrolling, **which elements scrolls** when you use VimFx’s
1029 scrolling commands **has changed.** See [scrolling commands] for more
1030 information.
1031
1032 ##### New features
1033
1034 - New commands:
1035
1036 - `gp` pins or unpins the current tab. (Also see `g^` and `g0` mentioned
1037 above.) #121
1038 - `yt` duplicates the current tab. #121
1039 - `0` and `^` scroll to the far left, and `$` scrolls to the far right.
1040 - [`gi`] has finally been implemented. #47
1041 - [Ignore mode `<s-f1>`] let you run a Normal mode command without exiting
1042 Ignore mode.
1043
1044 - In Hints mode you can now hold ctrl and alt to change behavior of the matched
1045 marker. Hold shift to temporarily make the hints see-through. See [the `f`
1046 commands] for more information. #220 #421 #484
1047
1048 - Some commands now accept [counts]. #374
1049
1050 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that work inside text inputs. See the
1051 [`<force>`] key for more information. #258
1052
1053 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that the page can override. See the
1054 [`<late>`] key for more information.
1055
1056 - A number of [advanced options] have been added. Rather than listing everything
1057 regarding them here, follow that link if you’re interested. #452 #489
1058
1059 - You may now, if you want to, configure VimFx through a [config file], using
1060 the new [public API]. Customizing VimFx through a config file also gives extra
1061 abilities, such as [site-specific options][option-overrides] and [disabling
1062 certain commands on certain sites][key-overrides]. It also allows to add
1063 [custom commands] \(and other extensions to extend VimFx). #158 #235 #255 #261
1064 \#300 #408 #445 #490 #515
1065
1066 - It is now easier to customize VimFx through custom [styling]. An example is
1067 changing the way hint markers look. #220 #233 #424 #432 #465
1068
1069 - VimFx now has [documentation] and a [wiki].
1070
1071 - A few new locales were added:
1072
1073 - fr. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r)!
1074 - pt-BR. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)!
1075 - sv-SE. Thanks to Andreas Lindhé (@lindhe)!
1076
1077 ##### Improvements
1078
1079 - VimFx is now multi-process/Electrolysis/e10s compatible! This means that you
1080 can run VimFx on a version of Firefox with multi-process enabled without
1081 issues, and that we’re future proof for the day when Firefox becomes
1082 multi-process by default. Best of all, it also made VimFx more reliable in
1083 non-multi-process (“regular”) Firefox. #378
1084
1085 - The `[` and `]` commands are now smarter, recognizing more links to the
1086 previous/next page correctly. You may read more about [previous/next page
1087 patterns]. #396
1088
1089 - The `n` and `N` commands now notify you when they wrap around the page, or the
1090 phrase you searched for could not be found. #398
1091
1092 - _All_ shortcuts in _all modes_ can now be customized. For example, this allows
1093 you to disable VimFx’s Vim-style `<enter>` behavior in the find bar. #222 #390
1094 \#421
1095
1096 - The `p` and `P` commands are now smarter regarding whether to treat the
1097 clipboard contents as a URL or a search, by working exactly like pasting in
1098 the location bar. They also now read the selection clipboard, if available.
1099 \#353 #382
1100
1101 - VimFx’s toolbar button is now properly implemented. #303 #349 #383
1102
1103 - Most locales were updated. Thanks to our awesome [translators]!
1104
1105 ##### Minor bug fixes
1106
1107 - VimFx now works correctly in tabs dragged to other windows. #57
1108 - The `p` command is no longer broken. #494
1109 - Non-ASCII shortcut keys now work properly. #433
1110 - The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog can no longer be covered by page elements.
1111 \#477
1112 - Hint markers can no longer be covered by page elements.
1113 - VimFx no longer causes scripts on icloud.com to get stuck in an infinite loop.

1139
1140 ### 0.5.17 (2015-01-23)
1141
1142 - Fixed: The hints generation no longer crashes on some pages (regression since
1143 version 0.5.15).
1144
1145 ### 0.5.16 (2015-01-22)
1146
1147 - Fixed: The toolbar button no longer throws errors. (This fix should have been
1148 in 0.5.15 but was forgotten. Luckily an AMO reviewer found it.)
1149
1150 ### 0.5.15 (2015-01-21)
1151
1152 - Improved: This version is now forwards-compatible with the upcoming version
1153 0.6.0. Downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.14 or older might cause VimFx to crash,
1154 but downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.15 is safe.
1155 - Fixed: Non-hintchars key presses in hints mode are now suppressed. They used
1156 to be passed along to the browser, which could confusingly activate site
1157 commands.
1158 - Fixed: The 'f' command now always opens links in the same tab. Links used to
1159 be able to force a new tab or window.
1160 - Fixed: Pressing 'Esc' in the location bar now restores the URL, as is the
1161 default behaviour of Firefox. You may now also close Firefox dialogs using
1162 'Esc'.
1163 - Improved: Updated the de locale. Thanks to Alexander Haeussler!
1164 - Improved: Updated the pl locale. Thanks to morethanoneanimal!
1165
1166 ### 0.5.14 (2014-08-16)
1167
1168 - Fixed: Locales should now work properly.
1169 - Improved: Updated the zh-CN locale (@mozillazg).
1170 - Improved: Updated the de locale (@Kambfhase).
1171 - Added: Japanese locale (@pluser).
1172 - Fixed: If you switched to another tab or window while an `<input>` element
1173 was focused and then switched back, the `<input>` element got blurred, while
1174 it should have stayed focused. This caused the auto-type feature of KeePassX
1175 to break.
1176
1177 ### 0.5.13 (2014-08-02)
1178
1179 - Fixed: The vote button on StackExchange sites are now markable again.
1180 - Improved: Detection of previous/next links. Should work better on gmail now.
1181 - Fixed: It is now possible to use Enter/Return in keyboard shortcuts.
1182 - Improved: The n/N commands (etc.) now work even if you didn’t open the finbar
1183 using the VimFx command (such as the default key binding ctrl+f, or by
1184 clicking a menu item).
1185 - Improved: It is now possible to blur text inputs without sending Esc to the
1186 page, which could cause dialogs etc. to annoyingly close.
1187 - Improved: Updated the el-GR locale (@sirodoht).
1188 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention sometimes made text inputs impossible to focus
1189 until you reloaded the page.
1190 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now works on more sites than before.
1191 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now prevents _all_ automatic focusing (not
1192 just when the page loads). This makes devdocs.io much easier to use.
1193 - Added: When viewing images directly and the image has been resized to fit the
1194 screen the image is now markable, allowing you to toggle zoom on it using the
