VimFx v0.20.8
[VimFx.git] / CHANGELOG.md
1 ### 0.20.8 (2017-01-14)
2
3 - Improved: The scrolling commands now scroll the closest scrollable parent of
4 the currently focused element (if it is not scrollable itself). This is
5 noticeable for Twitter’s modals, which are often scrollable. No longer any
6 need to use the `f` or `ef` commands to scroll those modals!
7
8
9 ### 0.20.7 (2017-01-07)
10
11 - Improved: The `[` and `]` commands now work in Google search results.
12 - Improved: You can now show the “emoji picker” of the “like” button on Facebook
13 by using the `ef` command.
14 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @interleaved!
15
16 ### 0.20.6 (2016-12-16)
17
18 - Fixed: The `'`, `g[` and `g]` commands no longer crash. (Regression since
19 0.20.5.)
20 - Fixed: The `ef` command can now focus elements in deeply nested frames again.
21 (Regression since 0.19.0.)
22 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` and `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` are now properly
23 undone when reloading a config file (`gC`).
24 - Improved: Hint markers for elements with multiline text no longer cover the
25 text.
26 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @interleaved!
27
28 ### 0.20.5 (2016-12-04)
29
30 - Fixed: Scrolling by holding `d`, `u`, `<space>` or `<s-space>` no longer goes
31 slower and slower (and finally grinding to a halt) on long pages with lots of
32 elements. (See also the [`scroll.repeat_timeout`] pref.)
33 - Improved: All config API functions now validate all their parameters properly.
34 This provides a better user experience, and, most importantly, prevents VimFx
35 from crashing on certain invalid input.
36
37 [`scroll.repeat_timeout`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/58deb3f7b7c470a4d705f1dabf7aa13e095e8d09/documentation/options.md#smooth-scrolling
38
39 ### 0.20.4 (2016-11-16)
40
41 - Fixed: The `n` and `N` commands now work in Firefox’s PDF viewer.
42 - Fixed: The `eb` command can now click the tab bar scroll buttons.
43 - Fixed: Elements marked by the `eb` command now correctly get hints based on
44 their area again.
45 - Improved: The `eb` command now favors the browser tabs and their close
46 buttons, giving them better hints.
47 - Improved: The hints given to the browser tabs by the `eb` command are now
48 consistent no matter how many tabs you have open. This means that the first
49 tab always gets the same hint, the second tab always get the same hint, and so
50 on.
51 - Improved: Hint markers are now placed next to the text of the element if
52 appropriate. For example, the hint marker for a button with centered text is
53 now placed just to the left of the text rather than at the left edge of
54 button. This is nice because it means that hint markers usually end up where
55 you were just reading.
56 - Improved: The positioning of hint markers has been fine-tuned by a pixel or so
57 in some cases.
58 - Improved: Custom styled checkboxes and radio buttons now get hint markers
59 faster (they are now found in the first pass rather than the second).
60 - Improved: Compatibility with the [Tab Center] add-on.
61 - Improved: Blurring the location bar is now more consistent. Previously, its
62 text wasn’t reset if the autocomplete popup was open when you pressed
63 `<escape>` to blur it.
64 - Fixed: An edge case where the wrong hint markers could be highlighted.
65
66 [Tab Center]: https://testpilot.firefox.com/experiments/tab-center/
67
68 ### 0.20.3 (2016-10-22)
69
70 - Improved: Full page scrolling now recognizes the fixed footer on medium.com.
71 - Fixed: Scrollable element can now be focused with the `f` command again (not
72 just with the `ef` command). (Regression since 0.19.0.)
73 - Fixed: `<escape>` is no longer accidentally leaked to the page when used to
74 blur text inputs. This allows blurring text inputs in modals without closing
75 the modal (which `<escape>` commonly does otherwise).
76
77 ### 0.20.2 (2016-10-16)
78
79 - Fixed: Text inputs and links inside frames can now be focused using hint
80 commands again. (Regression since 0.19.0.)
81 - Improved: Previously focused text inputs inside frames no longer steal the
82 focus when entering Caret mode in that frame.
83 - Improved: When several hint markers have the same hint (because their links
84 go to the same place), the _largest_ of those links is now chosen when
85 activating that hint. This might be noticeable via focus styling.
86 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @av2000ii!
87
88 ### 0.20.1 (2016-10-09)
89
90 - Improved: Caret mode is now a bit more robust. It can no longer make you end
91 up with [Firefox’s own Caret mode] accidentally enabled.
92 - Improved: If you try use for example `<ctrl>-j` as a keyboard shortcut, VimFx
93 will now tell you that you probably want `<c-j>` instead.
94 - Fixed: Using a keyboard shortcut to switch keyboard layout in GNOME while
95 inside a text input no longer causes the focus of that text input to be lost
96 when the Prevent autofocus option is enabled.
97 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @av2000ii!
98
99 [Firefox’s own Caret mode]: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Accessibility_features_of_Firefox#Allow_text_to_be_selected_with_the_keyboard
100
101 ### 0.20.0 (2016-10-02)
102
103 - Added: The `g[` and `g]` commands, which let you scroll to previous and next
104 scroll positions of the current page. This is similar to Vim’s jump list.
105 - Added: The `/` mark. Pressing `'/` takes you to the scroll position before the
106 last `/`, `a/` or `g/`.
107 - Fixed: Pressing `''` multiple times in a row now flips back and forth
108 between two scroll positions as expected.
109 - Fixed: Version 0.19.0 claimed to include the following improvement: “The hint
110 marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for a larger
111 element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).” However, a silly
112 mistake caused that improvement not to work. Now it does. For real.
113 - Fixed: All VimFx commands that copy text to the clipboard are now made sure to
114 also copy to the “selection clipboard” (if your system has such a thing). For
115 example, if you copy text using the `yv` command, the `p` command now uses
116 that copied text as expected.
117
118 ### 0.19.1 (2016-09-26)
119
120 - Fixed: The `'` command no longer crashes. (Regression since 0.19.0.)
121
122 ### 0.19.0 (2016-09-25)
123
124 #### Changes and improvements to Hints mode
125
126 **New feature:** Hint markers can now be filtered by element text, similar to
127 Vimium, Vimperator and Pentadactyl. This is useful for people who simply prefer
128 that workflow, and for clicking tiny pagination links (simply type its number!).
129
130 By default, filtering by element text is done by typing _uppercase_ characters
131 (hold down shift!). All characters other than the hint characters are now used
132 to filter hint markers by element text (rather than just being ignored). Do you
133 prefer filtering by element text, but dislike typing uppercase letters? Have a
134 look at how [hint characters] work to make things the other way around!
135
136 The markers with the best hint are now highlighted with a different color. You
137 may at any time press `<enter>` to activate those markers (or `<c-enter>` or
138 `<a-enter>` to change where and how to open links, just like you can hold ctrl
139 or alt for the last hint character).
140
141 Because of the above new features, the following default **Hints mode shortcuts
142 had to be changed:**
143
144 - `<space>` → `<c-space>` (`<s-space>` is left untouched)
145 - `<s->` → `<c-s->` (hold ctrl _and_ shift to peek through hint markers)
146 - `<enter>` → `<up>`
147 - `<c-enter>` → `<c-backspace>`
148
149 To make it easier to see the element text, hint markers are now nudged to the
150 left if they cover the text.
151
152 Other hint marker improvements:
153
154 - Hint markers are now 20% smaller by default. While trying to match text sizes
155 set by your operating system, they ended up a bit too large on most systems.
156 Check out the [Styling] documentation if you’d like to change the font size.
157 - Hint markers now have stronger contrast between the background color and the
158 text color, which should make them easier to read.
159 - The CSS for hint markers have been improved, making it easier to use custom
160 [Styling].
161 - When several elements have the same area, the best hint is now correctly given
162 to the _first_ of those elements. Previously, it happened to be the other way
163 around.
164 - The hint marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for
165 a larger element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).
166 - Hint markers are now better positioned when having zoomed the page in or out.
167 - Hints mode is now more robust in general. Several race conditions have been
168 fixed.

172
173 #### Other updates
174
175 - Added: The ability to **export, import and reset all** VimFx options. There
176 are three shiny new buttons for this in VimFx’s options page in the Add-ons
177 Manager!
178 - Added: The `gB` command, which lets you **quickly blacklist** (and
179 un-blacklist) sites.
180 - Added: The `ec` command, for opening the context menu of elements.
181 - Added: The `ep` command, for opening links in new private windows.
182 - Improved: `h`, `l`, `j` and `k` now feel more like scrolling with the arrow
183 keys when held down, by boosting the scrolling speed. See the
184 [`scroll.horizontal_boost` and `scroll.vertical_boost`][scroll-boost] options
185 for more information.
186 - Fixed: VimFx’s find bar integration is now much more robust. Most notably, if
187 you start typing directly after pressing `/` and Firefox is slow at opening
188 the find bar, your keypresses can no longer trigger VimFx commands or Firefox
189 built-in commands.
190 - Improved: VimFx no longer leaks keypresses to the web page in some modes. (For
191 example, counts in Caret mode).
192 - Improved: The `eb` command now finds more clickable elements in the devtools.
193 - Changed: `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` no longer lets you easily break for example
194 Hints mode, by now only being applied to Normal mode. You might need to change
195 your matchers from `(location, mode) => ...` to simply `location => ...`.
196 (Breaking API change.)
197 - Changed: The object passed to custom commands (and custom modes) no longer
198 contains a `uiEvent` property. Instead, there’s an `event` property. This
199 property can be used the same way if you check `vim.isUIEvent(event)` first.
200 (Breaking API change.)
201
202 [scroll-boost]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8bafdf0454043c1630bac8b13d13f1fb4e5ee9e7/documentation/options.md#scrollhorizontal_boost-and-scrollvertical_boost
203
204 ### 0.18.1 (2016-08-27)
205
206 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` no longer crashes on startup.
207 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` can now override the `prevent_autofocus`
208 pref again.
209
210 ### 0.18.0 (2016-08-20)
211
212 #### Changed default shortcuts
213
214 Some default keyboard shortcuts have been changed.
215
216 - Hint commands. Many of the old ones were difficult to remember, and there was
217 no space for adding new ones.
218
219 - `gf` → `et` (t as in tab)
220 - `gF` → `ew` (w as in window)
221 - `zf` → `ef` (f as in focus)
222 - `zF` → `eb` (b as in browser)
223 - `zv` → `av` (you actually select _all_ of the element’s text)
224
225 (`f`, `yf`, `af`, `v` and `yv` stay unchanged.)
226
227 There is a longer [explanation of these new defaults][hint-shortcuts] in the
228 documentation.
229
230 - `zr` → `gC`. `zr` was the only shortcut starting with `z`. This frees that key
231 up for other uses.
232
233 - `` ` `` → `'`. The `` ` `` shortcut (“scroll to mark”) as well as the `` ` ``
234 mark (“last position mark”) have both been changed to `'`. Both `` ` `` and
235 `'` are used in Vim. `'` is a better default, because it is easier to
236 type–both on an en-US QWERTY keyboard and, more importantly, on some
237 international layouts, such as the sv-SE QWERTY layout.
238
239 Note: If you miss Firefox’s default `'` shortcut to open the Quick Find bar
240 (which is now overridden), remember that VimFx provides `g/` which does the
241 same thing. (You can of course also change VimFx’s shortcuts.)
242
243 See also issue [#788].

246 [#788]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/issues/788
247
248 #### Other updates
249
250 - Added: It is now possible to create [custom hint commands].
251 - Fixed: The bottom-right corner of the page scrollbars can now be used with the
252 mouse again.
253 - Fixed: The toolbar button now correctly toggles VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts
254 dialog again.
255 - Updated locales: fr, ru. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r) and Nicholas
256 Guriev (@mymedia2)!
257
258 [custom hint commands]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/e8d9df31dd5c8df999ac22e3b3b8d548a68c6fa7/documentation/api.md#custom-hint-commands
259
260 ### 0.17.4 (2016-07-11)
261
262 - Improved: The usage of modifier keys in Hints mode is now shown in VimFx’s
263 Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog. The functionality has been there for a long
264 time, but should now be easier to find. Thanks to our awesome translators,
265 the new help text is already available in most supported locales!
266 - Improved: If you submit a form while still being inside one of its text
267 inputs, that text input is now automatically blurred. This lets you use VimFx
268 commands while waiting for the form to submit without having to press
269 `<escape>` first.
270 - Improved: The `gu` command now works better on some pages, by preserving a
271 trailing slash. Thanks to @sinkuu!
272 - Improved: VimFx now recognizes text areas in the TYPO3 CMS.
273 - Improved: The `<escape>` command and the toolbar button now let you escape
274 back to Normal mode if VimFx ever gets stuck thinking that you are typing in a
275 text input.
276
277 ### 0.17.3 (2016-06-27)
278
279 - Improved: The `zF` command can now open even more dropdown menus of buttons.
280
281 ### 0.17.2 (2016-06-19)
282
283 - Improved: The `zF` command now works with more buttons and is able to open
284 dropdown menus of buttons.
285 - Fixed: The `f` commands now recognize more file upload buttons.
286 - Fixed: Rotating hint markers now works more as expected after having entered a
287 few hint chars.
288 - Fixed: Scrolling now works in SVG documents.
289 - Fixed: Opening links in new tabs in Firefox 50.
290 - Updated locales: pt-BR and ru. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)
291 and Nicholas Guriev (@mymedia2)!
292
293 ### 0.17.1 (2016-06-12)
294
295 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer accidentally double-clicks instead of
296 single-clicking. Thanks to Alan Wu (@XrXr)!
297 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer crashes in Firefox 49+.
298 - Fixed: The “URL popup,” shown when hovering or focusing links, now appears
299 again when focusing links using `zf` (regression since 0.17.0).
300 - Updated locale: it. Thanks to Carlo Bertoldi (@cbertoldi)!
301
302 ### 0.17.0 (2016-06-08)
303
304 - Fixed: VimFx no longer scrolls smaller elements on a page instead of the
305 entire page on some sites.
306 - Improved: The `/`, `n` and `N` have been drastically sped up (when
307 [`find_from_top_of_viewport`][find_from_top_of_viewport-1] is on). Previously,
308 they appeared to freeze on some sites, but not anymore.
309 - Improved: You can no longer accidentally trigger VimFx between pressing `/`
310 and the find bar input being is focused.
311 - Improved: The `n` and `N` commands are now more robust.
312 - Improved: “Fullscreen” buttons and “Copy to clipboard” buttons can now be
313 activated the `f` command. Thanks to Alan Wu (@XrXr)!
314 - Changed: After having pressed `m` or `` ` `` VimFx no longer waits
315 indefinitely for you to press a mark key. Instead, the [timeout] option is
316 honored.
317 - Changed: After having pressed `m` or `` ` `` you can now press `<escape>` to
318 abort those commands.
319 - Changed: Find mode is no longer shown in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
320 dialog, to reduce clutter. (This can be changed through custom
321 [styling][styling-1].)
322 - Changed: The `?` command as well as the toolbar button now _toggle_ VimFx’s
323 Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (instead of always showing it, even if it was
324 already shown.)
325 - Changed: Counts are now ignored in Ignore mode. Previously, pressing number
326 keys would both send those key presses to the page _and_ contribute to the
327 count for commands (showing up in the bottom-right corner). This is no longer
328 the case.
329 - Updated locales: fr, zh-CN and zh-TW. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r),
330 @av2000ii and Robert Wang (@cyberrob)!

335
336 ### 0.16.1 (2016-05-29)
337
338 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer crashes (regression since 0.16.0).
339
340 ### 0.16.0 (2016-05-29)
341
342 - Fixed: The text input focus detection problems introduced in 0.15.1, which
343 sometimes caused VimFx commands to be triggered while typing in text inputs,
344 have been fixed.
345 - Improved: If you press `n` or `N` when there are are no matches for your
346 search, the find bar is no longer opened. Only a notification is shown. The
347 reliability of those notifications has also been improved.
348 - Improved: Hints mode now finds more links.
349 - Improved: Pressing `<c-enter>` in Hints mode now includes more elements.
350 - Updated locales: es, zh-CN. Thanks to @strel and @av2000ii!
351
352 ### 0.15.1 (2016-05-22)
353
354 - Improved: Better hints on Twitter.
355 - Improved: Compatibility with the [Evernote Web Clipper] add-on (and
356 potentially other add-ons with similar UI).
357 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!
358
359 [Evernote Web Clipper]: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/evernote-web-clipper/
360
361 ### 0.15.0 (2016-05-18)
362
363 - Improved: Hint markers now appear up to twice as fast on many pages. This is
364 done by creating the hint markers in two phases. Most are created in the
365 first, fast, phase. The rest take the same time as older VimFx versions to
366 show up.
367 - Fixed: VimFx no longer triggers commands while typing in fancy text inputs on
368 some sites, such as when composing a new tweet on Twitter. (See also the
369 [`blur_timeout`] pref.)
370 - Changed: The `<c-enter>` Hints mode command no longer _replaces_ all hint
371 markers on screen (with new ones for all elements on screen). Instead, it
372 _toggles_ your current hint markers with ones for all _other_ elements on
373 screen.
374 - Changed: There was a breaking change to the [`vimfx.setHintMatcher`] function
375 of the `frame.js` config file API. It no longer receives and returns an object
376 (of the shape `{type, semantic}`), but instead simply receives and returns the
377 `type` of the element.
378 - Improved: Some internal robustness refactoring.
379 - Updated locales: de, id, nl and zh-CN. Thanks to @just-barcodes, Yoppy
380 Halilintar (@comepradz), @HJTP, @av2000ii and @mozillazg.

384
385 ### 0.14.3 (2016-05-08)
386
387 - Fixed: Version 0.14.2 attempted to fix smooth scrolling speed in newer Firefox
388 versions. However, there was a tiny typo that caused the fix not to work. That
389 typo has been corrected.
390
391 ### 0.14.2 (2016-05-08)
392
393 - Fixed: Smooth scrolling speed is now correct again in newer Firefox versions.
394 - Fixed: The `yv` Caret mode command now only copies text that you can see on
395 screen (not any hidden text that might be on the page), making it truly work
396 like `zv` followed by `y`, as intended. This problem was very noticeable on
397 Slack. This also improves copying of 'contenteditable' elements using `yf`.
398 - Fixed: `<escape>` and arrow key handling as well as hint markers in the
399 devtools now work correctly again in newer Firefox versions.
400 - Fixed: VimFx no longer makes it impossible to open the Developer Toolbar.
401 - Improved: VimFx now ignores `<numlock>` and `<capslock>`. If your keyboard
402 sends `<numlock>` before some symbols, such as `<numlock>$` instead of just
403 `$`, shortcuts like `gx$` now work out of the box. This also means that you
404 can use `<capslock>` instead of `<shift>` when typing the `J` in `gJ`, for
405 example.
406 - Improved: Some minor cosmetic tweaks in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
407 dialog.
408
409 ### 0.14.1 (2016-04-30)
410
411 - Fixed: The Find commands (such as `/`, `n` and `N`) no longer crash on some
412 sites (regression since 0.14.0).
413
414 ### 0.14.0 (2016-04-29)
415
416 - Added: [Caret mode], which lets you copy text from web pages using the
417 keyboard.
418 - Improved: The Find commands (such as `/`, `n` and `N`) now search from the top
419 of the viewport, instead of from the top of the document, which is more
420 Vim-like and less disorienting. To read more about it (or to return to the
421 Firefox default behavior) please see the [`find_from_top_of_viewport`] pref.
422 - Improved: Compatibility with the [BackTrack Tab History] add-on.
423 - Added: The `<c-enter>` Hints mode command, which creates hint markers for
424 _all_ elements.
425 - Fixed: `__dirname` inside config files now works on Windows. Thanks to
426 Zhong Jianxin (@azuwis)!
427 - Fixed: Unnecessary full-page hint markers on some sites, such as Hackernews,
428 no longer appear.

434 ### 0.13.2 (2016-04-08)
435
436 - Improved: The “last position mark” `` ` `` now works more reliably.
437 - Improved: More video players are now recognized. Many video players lets you
438 press `<space>` while focused to toggle play/pause. VimFx tries to detect if
439 the currently focused element is a video player. If so, `<space>` is passed to
440 the video player instead of scrolling the page. (For those interested, see
441 also the [`adjustable_element_keys`] pref.)

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

528
529 ### 0.12.0 (2016-02-03)
530
531 - Improved: More clickable elements are now recognized. Most notably, elements
532 with click event listeners added by JavaScript now get hints.
533 - Improved: Autofocus prevention after using the `[` and `]` commands.
534 - Added: In VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (which can be opened by
535 pressing `?`) you can now click on any command to open VimFx’s settings page
536 in the Add-ons Manager and automatically select the text input for that
537 command, letting you edit its shortcuts. Tip: Use the `zF` command to click
538 without using the mouse.
539 - Changed: Autofocus is no longer prevented in Firefox internal pages, such as
540 `about:preferences`, `about:addons` and `about:config` (as well as other XUL
541 pages).
542 - Fixed: VimFx and the Beyond Australis extension do not conflict with each
543 other anymore.
544 - Fixed: The `gH` command no longer nags you about “No back/forward history”
545 even though there is.
546 - Added: The `gl` command now takes a [count][gl-count].
547 - Improved: Optimized CPU usage in Hints mode. (See also the [`hints_sleep`]
548 pref.)
549 - Improved: The `H` and `L` commands should now be more reliable in Firefox 43
550 and later.
551 - Changed: There was a tiny breaking change to the Public API, though I doubt it
552 will affect anyone. (See [commit 0ca807605e] if you’re especially interested.)
553 - Improved: _Several_ minor things, and some really nice internal refactoring.
554 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
555
556 [`hints_sleep`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/92b483c4a4f6da0b2c998267e0f01d3d999f93b6/documentation/options.md#hints_sleep

559
560 ### 0.11.0 (2016-01-15)
561
562 - Fixed: The `` ` `` command is no longer broken.
563 - Fixed: Memory leak.
564 - Added: The `gl` command, which takes you to the most recent tab.
565 - Improved: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now scrollable using VimFx’s
566 scrolling commands. To allow for this, the search field is no longer
567 autofocused. Instead, press `/` to open it.
568 - Improved: Using the `f` commands, such as `f` and `zf`, now works like
569 actually moving your mouse onto the link, making hover menus and such-like
570 appear.
571 - Improved: VimFx should now work better with Google Drive Documents, Etherpad
572 and a few other fancy text editors.
573 - Improved: The `]` command now works on google.com.
574 - Improved: Checkboxes and menu items on gmail.com are now given hints by the
575 `f` command.
576 - Improved: The `gi` command now also recognizes 'contenteditable' elements.
577 - Improved: Hint markers now move along together with their elements.
578 - Fixed: Hint markers should now be correctly positioned when zooming.
579 - Fixed: The toolbar button icon should now look correctly on Retina screens.
580 - Added: You may now disable counts by using toggling the [`counts_enabled`]
581 pref.
582 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
583 - Improved: Several minor things.
584
585 [`counts_enabled`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8dae7aec9008595da31b939d5ae2d239849cf6dc/documentation/options.md#counts_enabled
586
587 ### 0.10.0 (2015-12-09)
588
589 - Added: The `zF` command, which lets you click browser elements.
590 - Improved: The scrolling commands can now scroll browser elements (in other
591 words, not only web page content), by first selecting the scollable element
592 using `zF`.
593 - Added: The `gr` command, which toggles [Reader View].
594 - Added: The `gX` command, which opens the Recently Closed Tabs menu at the
595 middle of the screen.
596 - Added: The keys you’ve typed so far of a command, as well the count, are now
597 shown in a [notification]. (You may disable this using the
598 [`notify_entered_keys`] pref.)
599 - Improved: When commands don’t do anything, they show a [notification] instead,
600 letting you know that you actually pressed the right keys. For example, if you
601 press `f` but there are no markable elements visible, a notification is shown
602 telling you so, instead of silently doing nothing.
603 - Improved: `<space>` now scrolls _about a line less_ than a full page, just
604 like Firefox does by default. `d` scroll about _half_ a line less (by
605 default), so that pressing `d` twice works like pressing `<space>` once. (See
606 the [`scroll.full_page_adjustment` and `scroll.half_page_adjustment`] prefs
607 for more information.)
608 - Improved: `gi` now only selects all text in its text input if you haven’t
609 focused a text input yet (allowing you to easily replace pre-filled text),
610 instead of _always_ doing so. Otherwise, it now puts the cursor where you left
611 off typing the last time.
612 - Fixed: The `f` commands now put the cursor where you left off typing the last
613 time when focusing a text input. Previously, they accidentally selected all
614 text in the text input (use `zf` for that behavior).
615 - Fixed: Yet a scrolling fix. VimFx’s scrolling commands should now “just work”
616 on even more sites.
617 - Fixed: AltGr should now work out of the box on Windows. (See the
618 [`ignore_ctrl_alt`] pref for more information.)
619 - Removed: The el-GR, hu and pl locales were sadly too out of date to be useful,
620 and nobody has shown interest in updating them, so they were removed.
621 - Updated locales: id, de and zh-CN. Thanks to Yoppy Halilintar, @just-barcodes
622 and @mozillazg!
623 - Fixed: Several tiny bugs.

630
631 ### 0.9.0 (2015-12-02)
632
633 - Fixed: Links with the `onclick` attribute can now be opened in new tabs again.
634 (Regression since 0.8.0.)
635 - Fixed: The text size in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now
636 correctly resized.
637 - Added: The `gH` command. It opens the back/forward button context menu in the
638 middle of the window, allowing you to choose a history entry with the arrow
639 keys and `<enter>`.
640
641 ### 0.8.0 (2015-12-01)
642
643 - Fixed: VimFx now works properly in tabs moved to other windows.
644 - Fixed: An unreliable check for multi-process mode has been eliminated, fixing
645 various problems for some users.
646 - Fixed: VimFx’s toolbar button now changes color correctly when switching
647 between blacklisted and non-blacklisted tabs.
648 - Fixed: Dead keys now work out of the box on Windows.
649 - Improved: Links with the `onclick` attribute (abused as buttons) can no longer
650 get the same hint as another link.
651 - Added: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (shown by pressing `?`) is now
652 searchable.
653 - Added: The `g/` command. It’s like `/` but searches links only.
654
655 - Added: [Marks].
656
657 - Use `ma` to mark the current scroll position and `` `a `` to return to it.
658 (You may substitute `a` with any key press.)
659 - Use ``` `` ``` to return to the position before the last `gg`, `G`, `0`,
660 `$`, `/`, `n`, `N` or `` ` ``. (You can change this mark using the
661 [`last_scroll_position_mark`] pref.)
662
663 - Added: Window commands.
664
665 - `w`: Open new window.
666 - `W`: Open new private window.
667 - `gw`: Move tab to new window.
668 - `gF`: Follow link in new window.
669
670 [Marks]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/47fc699ce8217ee90af4d12e81f102f2bea09d61/documentation/commands.md#marks-m-and-

672
673 ### 0.7.3 (2015-11-22)
674
675 - Fixed: Scrolling now works correctly in pages in quirks mode (lacking a
676 doctype), such as Hackernews.
677 - Improved: The largest scrollable element is now detected better in frames.
678 - Fixed: Hints mode now exits correctly when focusing a text input using `af`,
679 or `f` with a count.
680
681 ### 0.7.2 (2015-11-21)
682
683 - Fixed: The blinking text caret now always appears correctly when focusing text
684 inputs.
685
686 ### 0.7.1 (2015-11-21)
687
688 - Fixed: The scrolling commands should now “just work” when using non-default
689 zoom or DPI settings, most notably on Google Groups.
690
691 ### 0.7.0 (2015-11-19)
692
693 - Changed: Instead of using system notifications, which turned out to be a bit
694 too intrusive, [notifications] are now similar to the “URL popup” (shown when
695 hovering or focusing links) but are placed on the opposite side,.
696 - Changed: The “Focus next element” and “Focus previous element” commands have
697 been removed. The reason they existed was to let `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` only
698 cycle between text inputs (as opposed to _all_ focusable elements) after
699 you’ve pressed `gi`. Now, `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` are handled specially instead,
700 and _only_ after pressing `gi`. The reason for this change is that the now
701 removed commands were too intrusive, breaking user habits. One of VimFx’s main
702 goal is _not_ to do that. (You can turn the special handling of `<tab>` and
703 `<s-tab>` off using the the new [`focus_previous_key` and `focus_next_key`]
704 prefs.)
705 - Fixed: The scrolling commands should now “just work” in a lot more situations,
706 most notably on Gmail and Google Groups. More scrollable elements are also
707 recognized by the `f` and `zf` commands.
708 - Improved: The right border of hint markers for scrollable elements is now
709 styled to remind of a scroll bar, making them easier to recognize among hints
710 for links.
711 - Improved/Changed: `J` and `gJ` now allow a count on the first tab.
712 Consequently, `K` and `gK` now allow a count on the _last_ tab.
713 - Changed: `gJ` and `gK` can no longer be used to pin or unpin tabs. They now
714 only wrap around tabs of the same pinned state. Use `gp` to toggle between
715 pinned and non-pinned.
716 - Fixed: Many elements that got a hint before VimFx 0.6.0 now do again.
717 - Improved: Comment fields on Facebook can now be focused using `f` and blurred
718 using `<escape>`.
719 - Improved: VimFx’s toolbar button is no greyed out when you focus a text input.
720 This is to show that your key presses will be passed into the text input
721 rather than activating VimFx commands.
722 - Added: [`g0`, `g^` and `g$` now accept counts][tab-index-counts], allowing you
723 to go to tab number _count._
724 - Improved: `gi` now finds text inputs inside frames.
725 - Fixed: “gi mode” is now exited properly when blurring a text input.
726 - Fixed: `<select>` elements are no longer considered to be text inputs when
727 using `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` in “gi mode.”
728 - Fixed: Using `<force>` or `<late>` in a shortcut no longer applies to _every_
729 shortcut for the command, but only that shortcut.
730 - Fixed: The order of the Previous/Next page patterns is now respected. This
731 caused the wrong link to be picked by the `[` and `]` commands on some pages.

736
737 ### 0.6.2 (2015-11-11)
738
739 - Improved: If the entire page isn’t scrollable, the largest scrollable element
740 is scrolled instead.
741 - Fixed: VimFx’s keyboard shortcuts now works on slowly loading pages.
742 - Fixed: Numbers may now be used as shortcut keys (overriding counts).
743 - Fixed: The toolbar button’s icon is now correctly sized in high DPI.
744 - Fixed: Hint markers are now correctly positioned when zooming using the “Zoom
745 text only” option.
746 - Fixed: The `P` command now works with the InstantFox add-on.
747
748 ### 0.6.1 (2015-11-10)
749
750 - Fixed: If you customized the “esc” command before VimFx 0.6.0 it should now
751 work as expected.
752 - Fixed: `<tab>` now works as expected in the location bar and in the dev tools.
753 - Fixed: Light-weight themes can no longer make VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
754 dialog and hint markers unreadable.
755 - Added: The [notifications\_enabled] option.
756
757 [notifications\_enabled]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/56c4b7c514ea8b58d2cdcecf3d2654648c48ca31/documentation/options.md#notifications_enabled
758
759 ### 0.6.0 (2015-11-09)
760
761 ##### Most important (breaking) changes
762
763 - VimFx now works properly with **any keyboard layout.** Users of **multiple
764 layouts** should enable the **[ignore keyboard layout] option.** #249 #259
765
766 - Features related to disabling VimFx, and to the [toolbar button]:
767
768 - **Insert Mode** has been renamed to **_Ignore_ mode.**
769 - **[Blacklisted][blacklist] sites** now **enter Ignore mode automatically,**
770 instead of being specially handled.
771 - The feature to click the toolbar button (or press `<a-V>`) to **disable
772 VimFx** has been **removed.** Use **Ignore mode** (`i`) and the
773 **[blacklist] instead.**
774 - The **toolbar button** is now **red in Ignore mode** (which also means that
775 it is red on blacklisted sites) and green otherwise (never grey anymore).
776 - The toolbar button no longer offers to (un-)blacklist the current domain.
777 (Head into VimFx’s settings page in the Add-ons Manager and add
778 `*currentdomain.com*` to the [blacklist] option yourself instead.)
779
780 (See [commit 3552282] for more information.)
781
782 - **Some default shortcuts have changed,** mostly because they conflicted with
783 standard Firefox shortcuts: #308
784
785 - `<c-J>` → `gJ`
786
787 - `<c-K>` → `gK`
788
789 - `g^` and `gH` → `g0`
790
791 `g^` now selects the first _non pinned_ tab instead, while `g0`
792 selects the first tab regardless of whether it is pinned or not. #317
793
794 - `<c-e>` (alias for `j`) and `<c-y>` (alias for `k`) have been removed.
795
796 - `<c-f>` → `<space>` and `<c-b>` → `<s-space>`
797
798 - `vf` → `zf`
799
800 This frees up `v` for future shortcuts (instead making `z` a
801 “namespace” key, just like in Vim).
802
803 - To **exit Ignore mode:** `<escape>` → `<s-escape>`. This is because Ignore
804 mode has replaced the disable feature, as well as the special blacklist
805 state (see above). Sites are likely to use `<escape>` but not `<s-escape>`.
806 (In a way, this new role of Ignore mode also means that the old (many times
807 broken) shortcut to disable VimFx (`<a-V>`) has been replaced by `i`.) #64
808 \#375 #432
809
810 - VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now help only, and more accessible.
811 To **customize keyboard shortcuts,** go to VimFx’s settings page **in the
812 Add-ons Manager,** just like you would to customize other settings. Also,
813 **commas** between every key are **no longer needed:** Type `gJ` instead of
814 `g,J`.
815
816 - For performance reasons, **Hint markers** are now placed vertically **centered
817 instead of at the top** of the element. Don’t be surprised if you see the same
818 hint repeated several times**—links that go to the same place now get the same
819 hint.** The “Smart hints” option has been removed—hints are _always_ smart
820 now, and a lot smarter than before. Finally, hints now also work in the new
821 tab page, the Add-ons Manager and the preferences page. If you want to, you
822 can read more about [the `f` commands]. \#51 #60 #176 #320 #325 #468 #471 #475
823
824 - The **`F`** command now _always_ opens tabs in new **background** tabs, while
825 **`gf`** has been added to open tabs in new **foreground** tabs. #227 #464
826
827 - **Autofocus prevention** is now **off by default.** One of VimFx’s core
828 philosophies is to be nice to your browser habits. Some find autofocus
829 prevention too big a change. Turn it on again if you like it! By the way,
830 autofocus prevention now works much more reliably and should not cause issues
831 with other extensions. #497 #541
832
833 - The **“Scroll step”** option has been **removed**. The scrolling commands that
834 used it now **work like the arrow keys instead,** and are customized just like
835 them. See [scrolling prefs] for more information.
836
837 - Speaking of scrolling, **which elements scrolls** when you use VimFx’s
838 scrolling commands **has changed.** See [scrolling commands] for more
839 information.
840
841 ##### New features
842
843 - New commands:
844
845 - `gp` pins or unpins the current tab. (Also see `g^` and `g0` mentioned
846 above.) #121
847 - `yt` duplicates the current tab. #121
848 - `0` and `^` scroll to the far left, and `$` scrolls to the far right.
849 - [`gi`] has finally been implemented. #47
850 - [Ignore mode `<s-f1>`] let you run a Normal mode command without exiting
851 Ignore mode.
852
853 - In Hints mode you can now hold ctrl and alt to change behavior of the matched
854 marker. Hold shift to temporarily make the hints see-through. See [the `f`
855 commands] for more information. #220 #421 #484
856
857 - Some commands now accept [counts]. #374
858
859 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that work inside text inputs. See the
860 [`<force>`] key for more information. #258
861
862 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that the page can override. See the
863 [`<late>`] key for more information.
864
865 - A number of [advanced options] have been added. Rather than listing everything
866 regarding them here, follow that link if you’re interested. #452 #489
867
868 - You may now, if you want to, configure VimFx through a [config file], using
869 the new [public API]. Customizing VimFx through a config file also gives extra
870 abilities, such as [site-specific options][option-overrides] and [disabling
871 certain commands on certain sites][key-overrides]. It also allows to add
872 [custom commands] \(and other extensions to extend VimFx). #158 #235 #255 #261
873 \#300 #408 #445 #490 #515
874
875 - It is now easier to customize VimFx through custom [styling]. An example is
876 changing the way hint markers look. #220 #233 #424 #432 #465
877
878 - VimFx now has [documentation] and a [wiki].
879
880 - A few new locales were added:
881
882 - fr. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r)!
883 - pt-BR. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)!
884 - sv-SE. Thanks to Andreas Lindhé (@lindhe)!
885
886 ##### Improvements
887
888 - VimFx is now multi-process/Electrolysis/e10s compatible! This means that you
889 can run VimFx on a version of Firefox with multi-process enabled without
890 issues, and that we’re future proof for the day when Firefox becomes
891 multi-process by default. Best of all, it also made VimFx more reliable in
892 non-multi-process (“regular”) Firefox. #378
893
894 - The `[` and `]` commands are now smarter, recognizing more links to the
895 previous/next page correctly. You may read more about [previous/next page
896 patterns]. #396
897
898 - The `n` and `N` commands now notify you when they wrap around the page, or the
899 phrase you searched for could not be found. #398
900
901 - _All_ shortcuts in _all modes_ can now be customized. For example, this allows
902 you to disable VimFx’s Vim-style `<enter>` behavior in the find bar. #222 #390
903 \#421
904
905 - The `p` and `P` commands are now smarter regarding whether to treat the
906 clipboard contents as a URL or a search, by working exactly like pasting in
907 the location bar. They also now read the selection clipboard, if available.
908 \#353 #382
909
910 - VimFx’s toolbar button is now properly implemented. #303 #349 #383
911
912 - Most locales were updated. Thanks to our awesome [translators]!
913
914 ##### Minor bug fixes
915
916 - VimFx now works correctly in tabs dragged to other windows. #57
917 - The `p` command is no longer broken. #494
918 - Non-ASCII shortcut keys now work properly. #433
919 - The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog can no longer be covered by page elements.
920 \#477
921 - Hint markers can no longer be covered by page elements.
922 - VimFx no longer causes scripts on icloud.com to get stuck in an infinite loop.

948
949 ### 0.5.17 (2015-01-23)
950
951 - Fixed: The hints generation no longer crashes on some pages (regression since
952 version 0.5.15).
953
954 ### 0.5.16 (2015-01-22)
955
956 - Fixed: The toolbar button no longer throws errors. (This fix should have been
957 in 0.5.15 but was forgotten. Luckily an AMO reviewer found it.)
958
959 ### 0.5.15 (2015-01-21)
960
961 - Improved: This version is now forwards-compatible with the upcoming version
962 0.6.0. Downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.14 or older might cause VimFx to crash,
963 but downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.15 is safe.
964 - Fixed: Non-hintchars key presses in hints mode are now suppressed. They used
965 to be passed along to the browser, which could confusingly activate site
966 commands.
967 - Fixed: The 'f' command now always opens links in the same tab. Links used to
968 be able to force a new tab or window.
969 - Fixed: Pressing 'Esc' in the location bar now restores the URL, as is the
970 default behaviour of Firefox. You may now also close Firefox dialogs using
971 'Esc'.
972 - Improved: Updated the de locale. Thanks to Alexander Haeussler!
973 - Improved: Updated the pl locale. Thanks to morethanoneanimal!
974
975 ### 0.5.14 (2014-08-16)
976
977 - Fixed: Locales should now work properly.
978 - Improved: Updated the zh-CN locale (@mozillazg).
979 - Improved: Updated the de locale (@Kambfhase).
980 - Added: Japanese locale (@pluser).
981 - Fixed: If you switched to another tab or window while an `<input>` element
982 was focused and then switched back, the `<input>` element got blurred, while
983 it should have stayed focused. This caused the auto-type feature of KeePassX
984 to break.
985
986 ### 0.5.13 (2014-08-02)
987
988 - Fixed: The vote button on StackExchange sites are now markable again.
989 - Improved: Detection of previous/next links. Should work better on gmail now.
990 - Fixed: It is now possible to use Enter/Return in keyboard shortcuts.
991 - Improved: The n/N commands (etc.) now work even if you didn’t open the finbar
992 using the VimFx command (such as the default key binding ctrl+f, or by
993 clicking a menu item).
994 - Improved: It is now possible to blur text inputs without sending Esc to the
995 page, which could cause dialogs etc. to annoyingly close.
996 - Improved: Updated the el-GR locale (@sirodoht).
997 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention sometimes made text inputs impossible to focus
998 until you reloaded the page.
999 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now works on more sites than before.
1000 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now prevents _all_ automatic focusing (not
1001 just when the page loads). This makes devdocs.io much easier to use.
1002 - Added: When viewing images directly and the image has been resized to fit the
1003 screen the image is now markable, allowing you to toggle zoom on it using the
1004 keyboard.
1005 - Fixed: It is no longer possible to add conflicting shortcuts (such as adding
1006 'a' when 'af' and 'as' are already present).
1007
1008 ### 0.5.12 (2014-06-01)
1009
1010 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention got stuck sometimes, making it impossible to
1011 focus inputs.
1012
1013 ### 0.5.11 (2014-06-01)
1014
1015 - Fixed: The focus search bar command was broken.
1016 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention was broken.
1017 - Fixed: The top bar on YouTube could not be accessed by VimFx.
1018 - Fixed: You can no longer add blank hotkeys.
1019 - Improved: Tab Groups are supported.
1020 - Improved: Matching of previous/next links should be more reliable.
1021 - Improved: A few minor things.
1022
1023 ### 0.5.10 (2014-05-07)
1024
1025 - Fixed yet another bug related to the default preferences
1026
1027 ### 0.5.9 (2014-05-04)
1028
1029 - Fixed a bug with default preferences not being set
1030 - Fixed gg and G to be faster
1031

1034 - AMO Preliminary Review bug fix (sorry for such long delay)
1035
1036 ### 0.5.7 (2014-03-03)
1037
1038 - Bug fix
1039
1040 ### 0.5.6 (2014-02-26)
1041
1042 - Updated some translations
1043 - Updated pagination patterns and logic
1044
1045 ### 0.5.5 (2014-01-03)
1046
1047 - Hotfix release to address a bug that has been introduced in 0.5.4
1048
1049 ### 0.5.4 (2014-01-03)
1050
1051 - Fix for popup passthrough mode stucking
1052 - Make toolbar button click depend on current mode

1060 - Update zh-CN localization
1061

1064 - Lots of refactoring
1065 - Insert mode (`i` command)
1066 - Follow multiple links with `af` command

1068

1078 - Invisible elements will not get hint markers

1081 - Use Huffman coding algorithm for hint markers generation which results in
1082 shorter links

1086 - Find disabled on non HTML documents
1087 - Find string is now global for all windows.

1092
1093 - `embed` and `object` tags will now have their own hints

1124 - Added `gh` command that will navigate to the home page.
1125 - Added `o` command to focus location bar.
1126 - `p` and `P` will parse the contents of the clipboard. If the string in the
