[VimFx.git] / CHANGELOG.md
1 ### 0.21.1 (2019-08-03)
2
3 - Fixed: Hints mode and VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog now works in
4 Firefox 69b. The screen used to go white whenever you entered any mode that
5 displays an overlay.
6 - Fixed: The statusbar now works again.
7 - Fixed: VimFx should now work with Nightly 70, by removing usage of the
8 deprecated `Array.filter()` method and others.
9
10 Thanks to Tobias Girstmair (@girst)!
11
12 ### 0.21.0 (2019-05-15)
13
14 - Removed: The Developer Toolbar integration, such as the `:` shortcut. That
15 feature has been removed from Firefox and the integration was causing issues
16 on newer Firefox versions. Thanks to Tobias Girstmair (@girst)!
17 - Fixed: VimFx should now work on Waterfox again. Tested with Waterfox 56,
18 Firefox 56, Firefox 64 and Waterfox 68. Thanks to Tobias Girstmair (@girst)
19 and @matsuhav!
20
21 ### 0.20.15 (2018-08-06)
22
23 - Fixed: Find mode now works properly again. Thanks to @matsuhav!
24
25 ### 0.20.14 (2018-05-15)
26
27 - Fixed: VimFx should now work properly in Firefox 61 (if you have enabled
28 legacy extensions) as well as older versions of Firefox. The latest few
29 versions have been a bit buggy, but things should work better now. Thanks to
30 Kevin Cox (@kevincox) and 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
31
32 ### 0.20.13 (2018-05-06)
33
34 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 61 (if you have enabled legacy
35 extensions). Thanks to Kevin Cox (@kevincox), 依云 (@lilydjwg) and Jan
36 Kokemüller (@jiixyj)!
37
38 ### 0.20.12 (2018-01-23)
39
40 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 59 (if you have enabled legacy
41 extensions). Thanks to Kevin Cox (@kevincox) and 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
42 - Updated locale: es. Thanks to @strel!
43
44 ### 0.20.11 (2017-11-19)
45
46 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 58 (if you have enabled legacy
47 extensions). Thanks to 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
48
49 ### 0.20.10 (2017-03-25)
50
51 - Improved: Autofocus is now prevented when going back in history on pages that
52 use `history.pushState()` (in other words, on the 'popstate' event).
53 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!
54
55 ### 0.20.9 (2017-02-21)
56
57 - Fixed: The `yy` command now works as expected in Reader Mode.
58
59 ### 0.20.8 (2017-01-14)
60
61 - Improved: The scrolling commands now scroll the closest scrollable parent of
62 the currently focused element (if it is not scrollable itself). This is
63 noticeable for Twitter’s modals, which are often scrollable. No longer any
64 need to use the `f` or `ef` commands to scroll those modals!
65
66 ### 0.20.7 (2017-01-07)
67
68 - Improved: The `[` and `]` commands now work in Google search results.
69 - Improved: You can now show the “emoji picker” of the “like” button on Facebook
70 by using the `ef` command.
71 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @interleaved!
72
73 ### 0.20.6 (2016-12-16)
74
75 - Fixed: The `'`, `g[` and `g]` commands no longer crash. (Regression since
76 0.20.5.)
77 - Fixed: The `ef` command can now focus elements in deeply nested frames again.
78 (Regression since 0.19.0.)
79 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` and `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` are now properly
80 undone when reloading a config file (`gC`).
81 - Improved: Hint markers for elements with multiline text no longer cover the
82 text.
83 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @interleaved!
84
85 ### 0.20.5 (2016-12-04)
86
87 - Fixed: Scrolling by holding `d`, `u`, `<space>` or `<s-space>` no longer goes
88 slower and slower (and finally grinding to a halt) on long pages with lots of
89 elements. (See also the [`scroll.repeat_timeout`] pref.)
90 - Improved: All config API functions now validate all their parameters properly.
91 This provides a better user experience, and, most importantly, prevents VimFx
92 from crashing on certain invalid input.
93
94 [`scroll.repeat_timeout`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/58deb3f7b7c470a4d705f1dabf7aa13e095e8d09/documentation/options.md#smooth-scrolling
95
96 ### 0.20.4 (2016-11-16)
97
98 - Fixed: The `n` and `N` commands now work in Firefox’s PDF viewer.
99 - Fixed: The `eb` command can now click the tab bar scroll buttons.
100 - Fixed: Elements marked by the `eb` command now correctly get hints based on
101 their area again.
102 - Improved: The `eb` command now favors the browser tabs and their close
103 buttons, giving them better hints.
104 - Improved: The hints given to the browser tabs by the `eb` command are now
105 consistent no matter how many tabs you have open. This means that the first
106 tab always gets the same hint, the second tab always get the same hint, and so
107 on.
108 - Improved: Hint markers are now placed next to the text of the element if
109 appropriate. For example, the hint marker for a button with centered text is
110 now placed just to the left of the text rather than at the left edge of
111 button. This is nice because it means that hint markers usually end up where
112 you were just reading.
113 - Improved: The positioning of hint markers has been fine-tuned by a pixel or so
114 in some cases.
115 - Improved: Custom styled checkboxes and radio buttons now get hint markers
116 faster (they are now found in the first pass rather than the second).
117 - Improved: Compatibility with the [Tab Center] add-on.
118 - Improved: Blurring the location bar is now more consistent. Previously, its
119 text wasn’t reset if the autocomplete popup was open when you pressed
120 `<escape>` to blur it.
121 - Fixed: An edge case where the wrong hint markers could be highlighted.
122
123 [Tab Center]: https://testpilot.firefox.com/experiments/tab-center/
124
125 ### 0.20.3 (2016-10-22)
126
127 - Improved: Full page scrolling now recognizes the fixed footer on medium.com.
128 - Fixed: Scrollable element can now be focused with the `f` command again (not
129 just with the `ef` command). (Regression since 0.19.0.)
130 - Fixed: `<escape>` is no longer accidentally leaked to the page when used to
131 blur text inputs. This allows blurring text inputs in modals without closing
132 the modal (which `<escape>` commonly does otherwise).
133
134 ### 0.20.2 (2016-10-16)
135
136 - Fixed: Text inputs and links inside frames can now be focused using hint
137 commands again. (Regression since 0.19.0.)
138 - Improved: Previously focused text inputs inside frames no longer steal the
139 focus when entering Caret mode in that frame.
140 - Improved: When several hint markers have the same hint (because their links
141 go to the same place), the _largest_ of those links is now chosen when
142 activating that hint. This might be noticeable via focus styling.
143 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @av2000ii!
144
145 ### 0.20.1 (2016-10-09)
146
147 - Improved: Caret mode is now a bit more robust. It can no longer make you end
148 up with [Firefox’s own Caret mode] accidentally enabled.
149 - Improved: If you try use for example `<ctrl>-j` as a keyboard shortcut, VimFx
150 will now tell you that you probably want `<c-j>` instead.
151 - Fixed: Using a keyboard shortcut to switch keyboard layout in GNOME while
152 inside a text input no longer causes the focus of that text input to be lost
153 when the Prevent autofocus option is enabled.
154 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @av2000ii!
155
156 [Firefox’s own Caret mode]: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Accessibility_features_of_Firefox#Allow_text_to_be_selected_with_the_keyboard
157
158 ### 0.20.0 (2016-10-02)
159
160 - Added: The `g[` and `g]` commands, which let you scroll to previous and next
161 scroll positions of the current page. This is similar to Vim’s jump list.
162 - Added: The `/` mark. Pressing `'/` takes you to the scroll position before the
163 last `/`, `a/` or `g/`.
164 - Fixed: Pressing `''` multiple times in a row now flips back and forth
165 between two scroll positions as expected.
166 - Fixed: Version 0.19.0 claimed to include the following improvement: “The hint
167 marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for a larger
168 element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).” However, a silly
169 mistake caused that improvement not to work. Now it does. For real.
170 - Fixed: All VimFx commands that copy text to the clipboard are now made sure to
171 also copy to the “selection clipboard” (if your system has such a thing). For
172 example, if you copy text using the `yv` command, the `p` command now uses
173 that copied text as expected.
174
175 ### 0.19.1 (2016-09-26)
176
177 - Fixed: The `'` command no longer crashes. (Regression since 0.19.0.)
178
179 ### 0.19.0 (2016-09-25)
180
181 #### Changes and improvements to Hints mode
182
183 **New feature:** Hint markers can now be filtered by element text, similar to
184 Vimium, Vimperator and Pentadactyl. This is useful for people who simply prefer
185 that workflow, and for clicking tiny pagination links (simply type its number!).
186
187 By default, filtering by element text is done by typing _uppercase_ characters
188 (hold down shift!). All characters other than the hint characters are now used
189 to filter hint markers by element text (rather than just being ignored). Do you
190 prefer filtering by element text, but dislike typing uppercase letters? Have a
191 look at how [hint characters] work to make things the other way around!
192
193 The markers with the best hint are now highlighted with a different color. You
194 may at any time press `<enter>` to activate those markers (or `<c-enter>` or
195 `<a-enter>` to change where and how to open links, just like you can hold ctrl
196 or alt for the last hint character).
197
198 Because of the above new features, the following default **Hints mode shortcuts
199 had to be changed:**
200
201 - `<space>` → `<c-space>` (`<s-space>` is left untouched)
202 - `<s->` → `<c-s->` (hold ctrl _and_ shift to peek through hint markers)
203 - `<enter>` → `<up>`
204 - `<c-enter>` → `<c-backspace>`
205
206 To make it easier to see the element text, hint markers are now nudged to the
207 left if they cover the text.
208
209 Other hint marker improvements:
210
211 - Hint markers are now 20% smaller by default. While trying to match text sizes
212 set by your operating system, they ended up a bit too large on most systems.
213 Check out the [Styling] documentation if you’d like to change the font size.
214 - Hint markers now have stronger contrast between the background color and the
215 text color, which should make them easier to read.
216 - The CSS for hint markers have been improved, making it easier to use custom
217 [Styling].
218 - When several elements have the same area, the best hint is now correctly given
219 to the _first_ of those elements. Previously, it happened to be the other way
220 around.
221 - The hint marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for
222 a larger element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).
223 - Hint markers are now better positioned when having zoomed the page in or out.
224 - Hints mode is now more robust in general. Several race conditions have been
225 fixed.

229
230 #### Other updates
231
232 - Added: The ability to **export, import and reset all** VimFx options. There
233 are three shiny new buttons for this in VimFx’s options page in the Add-ons
234 Manager!
235 - Added: The `gB` command, which lets you **quickly blacklist** (and
236 un-blacklist) sites.
237 - Added: The `ec` command, for opening the context menu of elements.
238 - Added: The `ep` command, for opening links in new private windows.
239 - Improved: `h`, `l`, `j` and `k` now feel more like scrolling with the arrow
240 keys when held down, by boosting the scrolling speed. See the
241 [`scroll.horizontal_boost` and `scroll.vertical_boost`][scroll-boost] options
242 for more information.
243 - Fixed: VimFx’s find bar integration is now much more robust. Most notably, if
244 you start typing directly after pressing `/` and Firefox is slow at opening
245 the find bar, your keypresses can no longer trigger VimFx commands or Firefox
246 built-in commands.
247 - Improved: VimFx no longer leaks keypresses to the web page in some modes. (For
248 example, counts in Caret mode).
249 - Improved: The `eb` command now finds more clickable elements in the devtools.
250 - Changed: `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` no longer lets you easily break for example
251 Hints mode, by now only being applied to Normal mode. You might need to change
252 your matchers from `(location, mode) => ...` to simply `location => ...`.
253 (Breaking API change.)
254 - Changed: The object passed to custom commands (and custom modes) no longer
255 contains a `uiEvent` property. Instead, there’s an `event` property. This
256 property can be used the same way if you check `vim.isUIEvent(event)` first.
257 (Breaking API change.)
258
259 [scroll-boost]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8bafdf0454043c1630bac8b13d13f1fb4e5ee9e7/documentation/options.md#scrollhorizontal_boost-and-scrollvertical_boost
260
261 ### 0.18.1 (2016-08-27)
262
263 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` no longer crashes on startup.
264 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` can now override the `prevent_autofocus`
265 pref again.
266
267 ### 0.18.0 (2016-08-20)
268
269 #### Changed default shortcuts
270
271 Some default keyboard shortcuts have been changed.
272
273 - Hint commands. Many of the old ones were difficult to remember, and there was
274 no space for adding new ones.
275
276 - `gf` → `et` (t as in tab)
277 - `gF` → `ew` (w as in window)
278 - `zf` → `ef` (f as in focus)
279 - `zF` → `eb` (b as in browser)
280 - `zv` → `av` (you actually select _all_ of the element’s text)
281
282 (`f`, `yf`, `af`, `v` and `yv` stay unchanged.)
283
284 There is a longer [explanation of these new defaults][hint-shortcuts] in the
285 documentation.
286
287 - `zr` → `gC`. `zr` was the only shortcut starting with `z`. This frees that key
288 up for other uses.
289
290 - `` ` `` → `'`. The `` ` `` shortcut (“scroll to mark”) as well as the `` ` ``
291 mark (“last position mark”) have both been changed to `'`. Both `` ` `` and
292 `'` are used in Vim. `'` is a better default, because it is easier to
293 type–both on an en-US QWERTY keyboard and, more importantly, on some
294 international layouts, such as the sv-SE QWERTY layout.
295
296 Note: If you miss Firefox’s default `'` shortcut to open the Quick Find bar
297 (which is now overridden), remember that VimFx provides `g/` which does the
298 same thing. (You can of course also change VimFx’s shortcuts.)
299

303 [#788]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/issues/788
304
305 #### Other updates
306
307 - Added: It is now possible to create [custom hint commands].
308 - Fixed: The bottom-right corner of the page scrollbars can now be used with the
309 mouse again.
310 - Fixed: The toolbar button now correctly toggles VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts
311 dialog again.
312 - Updated locales: fr, ru. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r) and Nicholas
313 Guriev (@mymedia2)!
314
315 [custom hint commands]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/e8d9df31dd5c8df999ac22e3b3b8d548a68c6fa7/documentation/api.md#custom-hint-commands
316
317 ### 0.17.4 (2016-07-11)
318
319 - Improved: The usage of modifier keys in Hints mode is now shown in VimFx’s
320 Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog. The functionality has been there for a long
321 time, but should now be easier to find. Thanks to our awesome translators,
322 the new help text is already available in most supported locales!
323 - Improved: If you submit a form while still being inside one of its text
324 inputs, that text input is now automatically blurred. This lets you use VimFx
325 commands while waiting for the form to submit without having to press
326 `<escape>` first.
327 - Improved: The `gu` command now works better on some pages, by preserving a
328 trailing slash. Thanks to @sinkuu!
329 - Improved: VimFx now recognizes text areas in the TYPO3 CMS.
330 - Improved: The `<escape>` command and the toolbar button now let you escape
331 back to Normal mode if VimFx ever gets stuck thinking that you are typing in a
332 text input.
333
334 ### 0.17.3 (2016-06-27)
335
336 - Improved: The `zF` command can now open even more dropdown menus of buttons.
337
338 ### 0.17.2 (2016-06-19)
339
340 - Improved: The `zF` command now works with more buttons and is able to open
341 dropdown menus of buttons.
342 - Fixed: The `f` commands now recognize more file upload buttons.
343 - Fixed: Rotating hint markers now works more as expected after having entered a
344 few hint chars.
345 - Fixed: Scrolling now works in SVG documents.
346 - Fixed: Opening links in new tabs in Firefox 50.
347 - Updated locales: pt-BR and ru. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)
348 and Nicholas Guriev (@mymedia2)!
349
350 ### 0.17.1 (2016-06-12)
351
352 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer accidentally double-clicks instead of
353 single-clicking. Thanks to Alan Wu (@XrXr)!
354 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer crashes in Firefox 49+.
355 - Fixed: The “URL popup,” shown when hovering or focusing links, now appears
356 again when focusing links using `zf` (regression since 0.17.0).
357 - Updated locale: it. Thanks to Carlo Bertoldi (@cbertoldi)!
358
359 ### 0.17.0 (2016-06-08)
360
361 - Fixed: VimFx no longer scrolls smaller elements on a page instead of the
362 entire page on some sites.
363 - Improved: The `/`, `n` and `N` have been drastically sped up (when
364 [`find_from_top_of_viewport`][find_from_top_of_viewport-1] is on). Previously,
365 they appeared to freeze on some sites, but not anymore.
366 - Improved: You can no longer accidentally trigger VimFx between pressing `/`
367 and the find bar input being is focused.
368 - Improved: The `n` and `N` commands are now more robust.
369 - Improved: “Fullscreen” buttons and “Copy to clipboard” buttons can now be
370 activated the `f` command. Thanks to Alan Wu (@XrXr)!
371 - Changed: After having pressed `m` or `` ` `` VimFx no longer waits
372 indefinitely for you to press a mark key. Instead, the [timeout] option is
373 honored.
374 - Changed: After having pressed `m` or `` ` `` you can now press `<escape>` to
375 abort those commands.
376 - Changed: Find mode is no longer shown in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
377 dialog, to reduce clutter. (This can be changed through custom
378 [styling][styling-1].)
379 - Changed: The `?` command as well as the toolbar button now _toggle_ VimFx’s
380 Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (instead of always showing it, even if it was
381 already shown.)
382 - Changed: Counts are now ignored in Ignore mode. Previously, pressing number
383 keys would both send those key presses to the page _and_ contribute to the
384 count for commands (showing up in the bottom-right corner). This is no longer
385 the case.
386 - Updated locales: fr, zh-CN and zh-TW. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r),
387 @av2000ii and Robert Wang (@cyberrob)!

392
393 ### 0.16.1 (2016-05-29)
394
395 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer crashes (regression since 0.16.0).
396
397 ### 0.16.0 (2016-05-29)
398
399 - Fixed: The text input focus detection problems introduced in 0.15.1, which
400 sometimes caused VimFx commands to be triggered while typing in text inputs,
401 have been fixed.
402 - Improved: If you press `n` or `N` when there are are no matches for your
403 search, the find bar is no longer opened. Only a notification is shown. The
404 reliability of those notifications has also been improved.
405 - Improved: Hints mode now finds more links.
406 - Improved: Pressing `<c-enter>` in Hints mode now includes more elements.
407 - Updated locales: es, zh-CN. Thanks to @strel and @av2000ii!
408
409 ### 0.15.1 (2016-05-22)
410
411 - Improved: Better hints on Twitter.
412 - Improved: Compatibility with the [Evernote Web Clipper] add-on (and
413 potentially other add-ons with similar UI).
414 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!
415
416 [Evernote Web Clipper]: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/evernote-web-clipper/
417
418 ### 0.15.0 (2016-05-18)
419
420 - Improved: Hint markers now appear up to twice as fast on many pages. This is
421 done by creating the hint markers in two phases. Most are created in the
422 first, fast, phase. The rest take the same time as older VimFx versions to
423 show up.
424 - Fixed: VimFx no longer triggers commands while typing in fancy text inputs on
425 some sites, such as when composing a new tweet on Twitter. (See also the
426 [`blur_timeout`] pref.)
427 - Changed: The `<c-enter>` Hints mode command no longer _replaces_ all hint
428 markers on screen (with new ones for all elements on screen). Instead, it
429 _toggles_ your current hint markers with ones for all _other_ elements on
430 screen.
431 - Changed: There was a breaking change to the [`vimfx.setHintMatcher`] function
432 of the `frame.js` config file API. It no longer receives and returns an object
433 (of the shape `{type, semantic}`), but instead simply receives and returns the
434 `type` of the element.
435 - Improved: Some internal robustness refactoring.
436 - Updated locales: de, id, nl and zh-CN. Thanks to @just-barcodes, Yoppy
437 Halilintar (@comepradz), @HJTP, @av2000ii and @mozillazg.

441
442 ### 0.14.3 (2016-05-08)
443
444 - Fixed: Version 0.14.2 attempted to fix smooth scrolling speed in newer Firefox
445 versions. However, there was a tiny typo that caused the fix not to work. That
446 typo has been corrected.
447
448 ### 0.14.2 (2016-05-08)
449
450 - Fixed: Smooth scrolling speed is now correct again in newer Firefox versions.
451 - Fixed: The `yv` Caret mode command now only copies text that you can see on
452 screen (not any hidden text that might be on the page), making it truly work
453 like `zv` followed by `y`, as intended. This problem was very noticeable on
454 Slack. This also improves copying of 'contenteditable' elements using `yf`.
455 - Fixed: `<escape>` and arrow key handling as well as hint markers in the
456 devtools now work correctly again in newer Firefox versions.
457 - Fixed: VimFx no longer makes it impossible to open the Developer Toolbar.
458 - Improved: VimFx now ignores `<numlock>` and `<capslock>`. If your keyboard
459 sends `<numlock>` before some symbols, such as `<numlock>$` instead of just
460 `$`, shortcuts like `gx$` now work out of the box. This also means that you
461 can use `<capslock>` instead of `<shift>` when typing the `J` in `gJ`, for
462 example.
463 - Improved: Some minor cosmetic tweaks in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
464 dialog.
465
466 ### 0.14.1 (2016-04-30)
467
468 - Fixed: The Find commands (such as `/`, `n` and `N`) no longer crash on some
469 sites (regression since 0.14.0).
470
471 ### 0.14.0 (2016-04-29)
472
473 - Added: [Caret mode], which lets you copy text from web pages using the
474 keyboard.
475 - Improved: The Find commands (such as `/`, `n` and `N`) now search from the top
476 of the viewport, instead of from the top of the document, which is more
477 Vim-like and less disorienting. To read more about it (or to return to the
478 Firefox default behavior) please see the [`find_from_top_of_viewport`] pref.
479 - Improved: Compatibility with the [BackTrack Tab History] add-on.
480 - Added: The `<c-enter>` Hints mode command, which creates hint markers for
481 _all_ elements.
482 - Fixed: `__dirname` inside config files now works on Windows. Thanks to
483 Zhong Jianxin (@azuwis)!
484 - Fixed: Unnecessary full-page hint markers on some sites, such as Hackernews,
485 no longer appear.

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

585
586 ### 0.12.0 (2016-02-03)
587
588 - Improved: More clickable elements are now recognized. Most notably, elements
589 with click event listeners added by JavaScript now get hints.
590 - Improved: Autofocus prevention after using the `[` and `]` commands.
591 - Added: In VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (which can be opened by
592 pressing `?`) you can now click on any command to open VimFx’s settings page
593 in the Add-ons Manager and automatically select the text input for that
594 command, letting you edit its shortcuts. Tip: Use the `zF` command to click
595 without using the mouse.
596 - Changed: Autofocus is no longer prevented in Firefox internal pages, such as
597 `about:preferences`, `about:addons` and `about:config` (as well as other XUL
598 pages).
599 - Fixed: VimFx and the Beyond Australis extension do not conflict with each
600 other anymore.
601 - Fixed: The `gH` command no longer nags you about “No back/forward history”
602 even though there is.
603 - Added: The `gl` command now takes a [count][gl-count].
604 - Improved: Optimized CPU usage in Hints mode. (See also the [`hints_sleep`]
605 pref.)
606 - Improved: The `H` and `L` commands should now be more reliable in Firefox 43
607 and later.
608 - Changed: There was a tiny breaking change to the Public API, though I doubt it
609 will affect anyone. (See [commit 0ca807605e] if you’re especially interested.)
610 - Improved: _Several_ minor things, and some really nice internal refactoring.
611 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
612
613 [`hints_sleep`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/92b483c4a4f6da0b2c998267e0f01d3d999f93b6/documentation/options.md#hints_sleep

616
617 ### 0.11.0 (2016-01-15)
618
619 - Fixed: The `` ` `` command is no longer broken.
620 - Fixed: Memory leak.
621 - Added: The `gl` command, which takes you to the most recent tab.
622 - Improved: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now scrollable using VimFx’s
623 scrolling commands. To allow for this, the search field is no longer
624 autofocused. Instead, press `/` to open it.
625 - Improved: Using the `f` commands, such as `f` and `zf`, now works like
626 actually moving your mouse onto the link, making hover menus and such-like
627 appear.
628 - Improved: VimFx should now work better with Google Drive Documents, Etherpad
629 and a few other fancy text editors.
630 - Improved: The `]` command now works on google.com.
631 - Improved: Checkboxes and menu items on gmail.com are now given hints by the
632 `f` command.
633 - Improved: The `gi` command now also recognizes 'contenteditable' elements.
634 - Improved: Hint markers now move along together with their elements.
635 - Fixed: Hint markers should now be correctly positioned when zooming.
636 - Fixed: The toolbar button icon should now look correctly on Retina screens.
637 - Added: You may now disable counts by using toggling the [`counts_enabled`]
638 pref.
639 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
640 - Improved: Several minor things.
641
642 [`counts_enabled`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8dae7aec9008595da31b939d5ae2d239849cf6dc/documentation/options.md#counts_enabled
643
644 ### 0.10.0 (2015-12-09)
645
646 - Added: The `zF` command, which lets you click browser elements.
647 - Improved: The scrolling commands can now scroll browser elements (in other
648 words, not only web page content), by first selecting the scollable element
649 using `zF`.
650 - Added: The `gr` command, which toggles [Reader View].
651 - Added: The `gX` command, which opens the Recently Closed Tabs menu at the
652 middle of the screen.
653 - Added: The keys you’ve typed so far of a command, as well the count, are now
654 shown in a [notification]. (You may disable this using the
655 [`notify_entered_keys`] pref.)
656 - Improved: When commands don’t do anything, they show a [notification] instead,
657 letting you know that you actually pressed the right keys. For example, if you
658 press `f` but there are no markable elements visible, a notification is shown
659 telling you so, instead of silently doing nothing.
660 - Improved: `<space>` now scrolls _about a line less_ than a full page, just
661 like Firefox does by default. `d` scroll about _half_ a line less (by
662 default), so that pressing `d` twice works like pressing `<space>` once. (See
663 the [`scroll.full_page_adjustment` and `scroll.half_page_adjustment`] prefs
664 for more information.)
665 - Improved: `gi` now only selects all text in its text input if you haven’t
666 focused a text input yet (allowing you to easily replace pre-filled text),
667 instead of _always_ doing so. Otherwise, it now puts the cursor where you left
668 off typing the last time.
669 - Fixed: The `f` commands now put the cursor where you left off typing the last
670 time when focusing a text input. Previously, they accidentally selected all
671 text in the text input (use `zf` for that behavior).
672 - Fixed: Yet a scrolling fix. VimFx’s scrolling commands should now “just work”
673 on even more sites.
674 - Fixed: AltGr should now work out of the box on Windows. (See the
675 [`ignore_ctrl_alt`] pref for more information.)
676 - Removed: The el-GR, hu and pl locales were sadly too out of date to be useful,
677 and nobody has shown interest in updating them, so they were removed.
678 - Updated locales: id, de and zh-CN. Thanks to Yoppy Halilintar, @just-barcodes
679 and @mozillazg!
680 - Fixed: Several tiny bugs.

687
688 ### 0.9.0 (2015-12-02)
689
690 - Fixed: Links with the `onclick` attribute can now be opened in new tabs again.
691 (Regression since 0.8.0.)
692 - Fixed: The text size in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now
693 correctly resized.
694 - Added: The `gH` command. It opens the back/forward button context menu in the
695 middle of the window, allowing you to choose a history entry with the arrow
696 keys and `<enter>`.
697
698 ### 0.8.0 (2015-12-01)
699
700 - Fixed: VimFx now works properly in tabs moved to other windows.
701 - Fixed: An unreliable check for multi-process mode has been eliminated, fixing
702 various problems for some users.
703 - Fixed: VimFx’s toolbar button now changes color correctly when switching
704 between blacklisted and non-blacklisted tabs.
705 - Fixed: Dead keys now work out of the box on Windows.
706 - Improved: Links with the `onclick` attribute (abused as buttons) can no longer
707 get the same hint as another link.
708 - Added: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (shown by pressing `?`) is now
709 searchable.
710 - Added: The `g/` command. It’s like `/` but searches links only.
711
712 - Added: [Marks].
713
714 - Use `ma` to mark the current scroll position and `` `a `` to return to it.
715 (You may substitute `a` with any key press.)
716 - Use ``` `` ``` to return to the position before the last `gg`, `G`, `0`,
717 `$`, `/`, `n`, `N` or `` ` ``. (You can change this mark using the
718 [`last_scroll_position_mark`] pref.)
719
720 - Added: Window commands.
721
722 - `w`: Open new window.
723 - `W`: Open new private window.
724 - `gw`: Move tab to new window.
725 - `gF`: Follow link in new window.
726
727 [Marks]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/47fc699ce8217ee90af4d12e81f102f2bea09d61/documentation/commands.md#marks-m-and-

729
730 ### 0.7.3 (2015-11-22)
731
732 - Fixed: Scrolling now works correctly in pages in quirks mode (lacking a
733 doctype), such as Hackernews.
734 - Improved: The largest scrollable element is now detected better in frames.
735 - Fixed: Hints mode now exits correctly when focusing a text input using `af`,
736 or `f` with a count.
737
738 ### 0.7.2 (2015-11-21)
739
740 - Fixed: The blinking text caret now always appears correctly when focusing text
741 inputs.
742
743 ### 0.7.1 (2015-11-21)
744
745 - Fixed: The scrolling commands should now “just work” when using non-default
746 zoom or DPI settings, most notably on Google Groups.
747
748 ### 0.7.0 (2015-11-19)
749
750 - Changed: Instead of using system notifications, which turned out to be a bit
751 too intrusive, [notifications] are now similar to the “URL popup” (shown when
752 hovering or focusing links) but are placed on the opposite side,.
753 - Changed: The “Focus next element” and “Focus previous element” commands have
754 been removed. The reason they existed was to let `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` only
755 cycle between text inputs (as opposed to _all_ focusable elements) after
756 you’ve pressed `gi`. Now, `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` are handled specially instead,
757 and _only_ after pressing `gi`. The reason for this change is that the now
758 removed commands were too intrusive, breaking user habits. One of VimFx’s main
759 goal is _not_ to do that. (You can turn the special handling of `<tab>` and
760 `<s-tab>` off using the the new [`focus_previous_key` and `focus_next_key`]
761 prefs.)
762 - Fixed: The scrolling commands should now “just work” in a lot more situations,
763 most notably on Gmail and Google Groups. More scrollable elements are also
764 recognized by the `f` and `zf` commands.
765 - Improved: The right border of hint markers for scrollable elements is now
766 styled to remind of a scroll bar, making them easier to recognize among hints
767 for links.
768 - Improved/Changed: `J` and `gJ` now allow a count on the first tab.
769 Consequently, `K` and `gK` now allow a count on the _last_ tab.
770 - Changed: `gJ` and `gK` can no longer be used to pin or unpin tabs. They now
771 only wrap around tabs of the same pinned state. Use `gp` to toggle between
772 pinned and non-pinned.
773 - Fixed: Many elements that got a hint before VimFx 0.6.0 now do again.
774 - Improved: Comment fields on Facebook can now be focused using `f` and blurred
775 using `<escape>`.
776 - Improved: VimFx’s toolbar button is no greyed out when you focus a text input.
777 This is to show that your key presses will be passed into the text input
778 rather than activating VimFx commands.
779 - Added: [`g0`, `g^` and `g$` now accept counts][tab-index-counts], allowing you
780 to go to tab number _count._
781 - Improved: `gi` now finds text inputs inside frames.
782 - Fixed: “gi mode” is now exited properly when blurring a text input.
783 - Fixed: `<select>` elements are no longer considered to be text inputs when
784 using `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` in “gi mode.”
785 - Fixed: Using `<force>` or `<late>` in a shortcut no longer applies to _every_
786 shortcut for the command, but only that shortcut.
787 - Fixed: The order of the Previous/Next page patterns is now respected. This
788 caused the wrong link to be picked by the `[` and `]` commands on some pages.

794 ### 0.6.2 (2015-11-11)
795
796 - Improved: If the entire page isn’t scrollable, the largest scrollable element
797 is scrolled instead.
798 - Fixed: VimFx’s keyboard shortcuts now works on slowly loading pages.
799 - Fixed: Numbers may now be used as shortcut keys (overriding counts).

802 text only” option.
803 - Fixed: The `P` command now works with the InstantFox add-on.
804
805 ### 0.6.1 (2015-11-10)
806
807 - Fixed: If you customized the “esc” command before VimFx 0.6.0 it should now
808 work as expected.
809 - Fixed: `<tab>` now works as expected in the location bar and in the dev tools.
810 - Fixed: Light-weight themes can no longer make VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
811 dialog and hint markers unreadable.
812 - Added: The [notifications\_enabled] option.
813
814 [notifications\_enabled]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/56c4b7c514ea8b58d2cdcecf3d2654648c48ca31/documentation/options.md#notifications_enabled
815
816 ### 0.6.0 (2015-11-09)
817
818 ##### Most important (breaking) changes
819
820 - VimFx now works properly with **any keyboard layout.** Users of **multiple
821 layouts** should enable the **[ignore keyboard layout] option.** #249 #259
822
823 - Features related to disabling VimFx, and to the [toolbar button]:
824
825 - **Insert Mode** has been renamed to **_Ignore_ mode.**
826 - **[Blacklisted][blacklist] sites** now **enter Ignore mode automatically,**
827 instead of being specially handled.
828 - The feature to click the toolbar button (or press `<a-V>`) to **disable
829 VimFx** has been **removed.** Use **Ignore mode** (`i`) and the
830 **[blacklist] instead.**
831 - The **toolbar button** is now **red in Ignore mode** (which also means that
832 it is red on blacklisted sites) and green otherwise (never grey anymore).
833 - The toolbar button no longer offers to (un-)blacklist the current domain.
834 (Head into VimFx’s settings page in the Add-ons Manager and add
835 `*currentdomain.com*` to the [blacklist] option yourself instead.)
836
837 (See [commit 3552282] for more information.)
838
839 - **Some default shortcuts have changed,** mostly because they conflicted with
840 standard Firefox shortcuts: #308
841
842 - `<c-J>` → `gJ`
843
844 - `<c-K>` → `gK`
845
846 - `g^` and `gH` → `g0`
847
848 `g^` now selects the first _non pinned_ tab instead, while `g0`
849 selects the first tab regardless of whether it is pinned or not. #317
850
851 - `<c-e>` (alias for `j`) and `<c-y>` (alias for `k`) have been removed.
852
853 - `<c-f>` → `<space>` and `<c-b>` → `<s-space>`
854
855 - `vf` → `zf`
856
857 This frees up `v` for future shortcuts (instead making `z` a
858 “namespace” key, just like in Vim).
859
860 - To **exit Ignore mode:** `<escape>` → `<s-escape>`. This is because Ignore
861 mode has replaced the disable feature, as well as the special blacklist
862 state (see above). Sites are likely to use `<escape>` but not `<s-escape>`.
863 (In a way, this new role of Ignore mode also means that the old (many times
864 broken) shortcut to disable VimFx (`<a-V>`) has been replaced by `i`.) #64
865 \#375 #432
866
867 - VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now help only, and more accessible.
868 To **customize keyboard shortcuts,** go to VimFx’s settings page **in the
869 Add-ons Manager,** just like you would to customize other settings. Also,
870 **commas** between every key are **no longer needed:** Type `gJ` instead of
871 `g,J`.
872
873 - For performance reasons, **Hint markers** are now placed vertically **centered
874 instead of at the top** of the element. Don’t be surprised if you see the same
875 hint repeated several times**—links that go to the same place now get the same
876 hint.** The “Smart hints” option has been removed—hints are _always_ smart
877 now, and a lot smarter than before. Finally, hints now also work in the new
878 tab page, the Add-ons Manager and the preferences page. If you want to, you
879 can read more about [the `f` commands]. \#51 #60 #176 #320 #325 #468 #471 #475
880
881 - The **`F`** command now _always_ opens tabs in new **background** tabs, while
882 **`gf`** has been added to open tabs in new **foreground** tabs. #227 #464
883
884 - **Autofocus prevention** is now **off by default.** One of VimFx’s core
885 philosophies is to be nice to your browser habits. Some find autofocus
886 prevention too big a change. Turn it on again if you like it! By the way,
887 autofocus prevention now works much more reliably and should not cause issues
888 with other extensions. #497 #541
889
890 - The **“Scroll step”** option has been **removed**. The scrolling commands that
891 used it now **work like the arrow keys instead,** and are customized just like
892 them. See [scrolling prefs] for more information.
893
894 - Speaking of scrolling, **which elements scrolls** when you use VimFx’s
895 scrolling commands **has changed.** See [scrolling commands] for more
896 information.
897
898 ##### New features
899
900 - New commands:
901
902 - `gp` pins or unpins the current tab. (Also see `g^` and `g0` mentioned
903 above.) #121
904 - `yt` duplicates the current tab. #121
905 - `0` and `^` scroll to the far left, and `$` scrolls to the far right.
906 - [`gi`] has finally been implemented. #47
907 - [Ignore mode `<s-f1>`] let you run a Normal mode command without exiting
908 Ignore mode.
909
910 - In Hints mode you can now hold ctrl and alt to change behavior of the matched
911 marker. Hold shift to temporarily make the hints see-through. See [the `f`
912 commands] for more information. #220 #421 #484
913
914 - Some commands now accept [counts]. #374
915
916 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that work inside text inputs. See the
917 [`<force>`] key for more information. #258
918
919 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that the page can override. See the
920 [`<late>`] key for more information.
921
922 - A number of [advanced options] have been added. Rather than listing everything
923 regarding them here, follow that link if you’re interested. #452 #489
924
925 - You may now, if you want to, configure VimFx through a [config file], using
926 the new [public API]. Customizing VimFx through a config file also gives extra
927 abilities, such as [site-specific options][option-overrides] and [disabling
928 certain commands on certain sites][key-overrides]. It also allows to add
929 [custom commands] \(and other extensions to extend VimFx). #158 #235 #255 #261
930 \#300 #408 #445 #490 #515
931
932 - It is now easier to customize VimFx through custom [styling]. An example is
933 changing the way hint markers look. #220 #233 #424 #432 #465
934
935 - VimFx now has [documentation] and a [wiki].
936
937 - A few new locales were added:
938
939 - fr. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r)!
940 - pt-BR. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)!
941 - sv-SE. Thanks to Andreas Lindhé (@lindhe)!
942
943 ##### Improvements
944
945 - VimFx is now multi-process/Electrolysis/e10s compatible! This means that you
946 can run VimFx on a version of Firefox with multi-process enabled without
947 issues, and that we’re future proof for the day when Firefox becomes
948 multi-process by default. Best of all, it also made VimFx more reliable in
949 non-multi-process (“regular”) Firefox. #378
950
951 - The `[` and `]` commands are now smarter, recognizing more links to the
952 previous/next page correctly. You may read more about [previous/next page
953 patterns]. #396
954
955 - The `n` and `N` commands now notify you when they wrap around the page, or the
956 phrase you searched for could not be found. #398
957
958 - _All_ shortcuts in _all modes_ can now be customized. For example, this allows
959 you to disable VimFx’s Vim-style `<enter>` behavior in the find bar. #222 #390
960 \#421
961
962 - The `p` and `P` commands are now smarter regarding whether to treat the
963 clipboard contents as a URL or a search, by working exactly like pasting in
964 the location bar. They also now read the selection clipboard, if available.
965 \#353 #382
966
967 - VimFx’s toolbar button is now properly implemented. #303 #349 #383
968
969 - Most locales were updated. Thanks to our awesome [translators]!
970
971 ##### Minor bug fixes
972
973 - VimFx now works correctly in tabs dragged to other windows. #57
974 - The `p` command is no longer broken. #494
975 - Non-ASCII shortcut keys now work properly. #433
976 - The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog can no longer be covered by page elements.
977 \#477
978 - Hint markers can no longer be covered by page elements.
979 - VimFx no longer causes scripts on icloud.com to get stuck in an infinite loop.

1005
1006 ### 0.5.17 (2015-01-23)
1007
1008 - Fixed: The hints generation no longer crashes on some pages (regression since
1009 version 0.5.15).
1010
1011 ### 0.5.16 (2015-01-22)
1012
1013 - Fixed: The toolbar button no longer throws errors. (This fix should have been
1014 in 0.5.15 but was forgotten. Luckily an AMO reviewer found it.)
1015
1016 ### 0.5.15 (2015-01-21)
1017
1018 - Improved: This version is now forwards-compatible with the upcoming version
1019 0.6.0. Downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.14 or older might cause VimFx to crash,
1020 but downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.15 is safe.
1021 - Fixed: Non-hintchars key presses in hints mode are now suppressed. They used
1022 to be passed along to the browser, which could confusingly activate site
1023 commands.
1024 - Fixed: The 'f' command now always opens links in the same tab. Links used to
1025 be able to force a new tab or window.
1026 - Fixed: Pressing 'Esc' in the location bar now restores the URL, as is the
1027 default behaviour of Firefox. You may now also close Firefox dialogs using
1028 'Esc'.
1029 - Improved: Updated the de locale. Thanks to Alexander Haeussler!
1030 - Improved: Updated the pl locale. Thanks to morethanoneanimal!
1031
1032 ### 0.5.14 (2014-08-16)
1033
1034 - Fixed: Locales should now work properly.
1035 - Improved: Updated the zh-CN locale (@mozillazg).
1036 - Improved: Updated the de locale (@Kambfhase).
1037 - Added: Japanese locale (@pluser).
1038 - Fixed: If you switched to another tab or window while an `<input>` element
1039 was focused and then switched back, the `<input>` element got blurred, while
1040 it should have stayed focused. This caused the auto-type feature of KeePassX
1041 to break.
1042
1043 ### 0.5.13 (2014-08-02)
1044
1045 - Fixed: The vote button on StackExchange sites are now markable again.
1046 - Improved: Detection of previous/next links. Should work better on gmail now.
1047 - Fixed: It is now possible to use Enter/Return in keyboard shortcuts.
1048 - Improved: The n/N commands (etc.) now work even if you didn’t open the finbar
1049 using the VimFx command (such as the default key binding ctrl+f, or by
1050 clicking a menu item).
1051 - Improved: It is now possible to blur text inputs without sending Esc to the
1052 page, which could cause dialogs etc. to annoyingly close.
1053 - Improved: Updated the el-GR locale (@sirodoht).
1054 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention sometimes made text inputs impossible to focus
1055 until you reloaded the page.
1056 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now works on more sites than before.
1057 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now prevents _all_ automatic focusing (not
1058 just when the page loads). This makes devdocs.io much easier to use.
1059 - Added: When viewing images directly and the image has been resized to fit the
1060 screen the image is now markable, allowing you to toggle zoom on it using the
1061 keyboard.
1062 - Fixed: It is no longer possible to add conflicting shortcuts (such as adding
1063 'a' when 'af' and 'as' are already present).
1064
1065 ### 0.5.12 (2014-06-01)
1066
1067 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention got stuck sometimes, making it impossible to
1068 focus inputs.
1069
1070 ### 0.5.11 (2014-06-01)
1071
1072 - Fixed: The focus search bar command was broken.
1073 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention was broken.
1074 - Fixed: The top bar on YouTube could not be accessed by VimFx.
1075 - Fixed: You can no longer add blank hotkeys.
1076 - Improved: Tab Groups are supported.
1077 - Improved: Matching of previous/next links should be more reliable.
1078 - Improved: A few minor things.
1079
1080 ### 0.5.10 (2014-05-07)
1081
1082 - Fixed yet another bug related to the default preferences
1083
1084 ### 0.5.9 (2014-05-04)
1085
1086 - Fixed a bug with default preferences not being set
1087 - Fixed gg and G to be faster
1088
1089 ### 0.5.8 (2014-04-18)
1090
1091 - AMO Preliminary Review bug fix (sorry for such long delay)
1092
1093 ### 0.5.7 (2014-03-03)
1094
1095 - Bug fix
1096
1097 ### 0.5.6 (2014-02-26)

1099 - Updated some translations
1100 - Updated pagination patterns and logic
1101
1102 ### 0.5.5 (2014-01-03)
1103
1104 - Hotfix release to address a bug that has been introduced in 0.5.4
1105
1106 ### 0.5.4 (2014-01-03)
1107
1108 - Fix for popup passthrough mode stucking

1117 - Update zh-CN localization
1118

1135 - Invisible elements will not get hint markers
1136 - Compatibility with Firefox 25
