VimFx v0.20.7

[VimFx.git] / CHANGELOG.md

### 0.20.7 (2017-01-07)

- Improved: The `[` and `]` commands now work in Google search results.
- Improved: You can now show the “emoji picker” of the “like” button on Facebook
  by using the `ef` command.
- Updated locale: de. Thanks to @interleaved!

### 0.20.6 (2016-12-16)

- Fixed: The `'`, `g[` and `g]` commands no longer crash. (Regression since
  0.20.5.)
- Fixed: The `ef` command can now focus elements in deeply nested frames again.
  (Regression since 0.19.0.)
- Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` and `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` are now properly
  undone when reloading a config file (`gC`).
- Improved: Hint markers for elements with multiline text no longer cover the
  text.
- Updated locale: de. Thanks to @interleaved!

### 0.20.5 (2016-12-04)

- Fixed: Scrolling by holding `d`, `u`, `<space>` or `<s-space>` no longer goes
  slower and slower (and finally grinding to a halt) on long pages with lots of
  elements. (See also the [`scroll.repeat_timeout`] pref.)
- Improved: All config API functions now validate all their parameters properly.
  This provides a better user experience, and, most importantly, prevents VimFx
  from crashing on certain invalid input.

[`scroll.repeat_timeout`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/58deb3f7b7c470a4d705f1dabf7aa13e095e8d09/documentation/options.md#smooth-scrolling

### 0.20.4 (2016-11-16)

- Fixed: The `n` and `N` commands now work in Firefox’s PDF viewer.
- Fixed: The `eb` command can now click the tab bar scroll buttons.
- Fixed: Elements marked by the `eb` command now correctly get hints based on
  their area again.
- Improved: The `eb` command now favors the browser tabs and their close
  buttons, giving them better hints.
- Improved: The hints given to the browser tabs by the `eb` command are now
  consistent no matter how many tabs you have open. This means that the first
  tab always gets the same hint, the second tab always get the same hint, and so
  on.
- Improved: Hint markers are now placed next to the text of the element if
  appropriate. For example, the hint marker for a button with centered text is
  now placed just to the left of the text rather than at the left edge of
  button. This is nice because it means that hint markers usually end up where
  you were just reading.
- Improved: The positioning of hint markers has been fine-tuned by a pixel or so
  in some cases.
- Improved: Custom styled checkboxes and radio buttons now get hint markers
  faster (they are now found in the first pass rather than the second).
- Improved: Compatibility with the [Tab Center] add-on.
- Improved: Blurring the location bar is now more consistent. Previously, its
  text wasn’t reset if the autocomplete popup was open when you pressed
  `<escape>` to blur it.
- Fixed: An edge case where the wrong hint markers could be highlighted.

[Tab Center]: https://testpilot.firefox.com/experiments/tab-center/

### 0.20.3 (2016-10-22)

- Improved: Full page scrolling now recognizes the fixed footer on medium.com.
- Fixed: Scrollable element can now be focused with the `f` command again (not
  just with the `ef` command). (Regression since 0.19.0.)
- Fixed: `<escape>` is no longer accidentally leaked to the page when used to
  blur text inputs. This allows blurring text inputs in modals without closing
  the modal (which `<escape>` commonly does otherwise).

### 0.20.2 (2016-10-16)

- Fixed: Text inputs and links inside frames can now be focused using hint
  commands again. (Regression since 0.19.0.)
- Improved: Previously focused text inputs inside frames no longer steal the
  focus when entering Caret mode in that frame.
- Improved: When several hint markers have the same hint (because their links
  go to the same place), the _largest_ of those links is now chosen when
  activating that hint. This might be noticeable via focus styling.
- Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @av2000ii!

### 0.20.1 (2016-10-09)

- Improved: Caret mode is now a bit more robust. It can no longer make you end
  up with [Firefox’s own Caret mode] accidentally enabled.
- Improved: If you try use for example `<ctrl>-j` as a keyboard shortcut, VimFx
  will now tell you that you probably want `<c-j>` instead.
- Fixed: Using a keyboard shortcut to switch keyboard layout in GNOME while
  inside a text input no longer causes the focus of that text input to be lost
  when the Prevent autofocus option is enabled.
- Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @av2000ii!

[Firefox’s own Caret mode]: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Accessibility_features_of_Firefox#Allow_text_to_be_selected_with_the_keyboard

### 0.20.0 (2016-10-02)

- Added: The `g[` and `g]` commands, which let you scroll to previous and next
  scroll positions of the current page. This is similar to Vim’s jump list.
- Added: The `/` mark. Pressing `'/` takes you to the scroll position before the
  last `/`, `a/` or `g/`.
- Fixed: Pressing `''` multiple times in a row now flips back and forth
  between two scroll positions as expected.
- Fixed: Version 0.19.0 claimed to include the following improvement: “The hint
  marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for a larger
  element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).” However, a silly
  mistake caused that improvement not to work. Now it does. For real.
- Fixed: All VimFx commands that copy text to the clipboard are now made sure to
  also copy to the “selection clipboard” (if your system has such a thing). For
  example, if you copy text using the `yv` command, the `p` command now uses
  that copied text as expected.

### 0.19.1 (2016-09-26)

- Fixed: The `'` command no longer crashes. (Regression since 0.19.0.)

### 0.19.0 (2016-09-25)

#### Changes and improvements to Hints mode

**New feature:** Hint markers can now be filtered by element text, similar to
Vimium, Vimperator and Pentadactyl. This is useful for people who simply prefer
that workflow, and for clicking tiny pagination links (simply type its number!).

By default, filtering by element text is done by typing _uppercase_ characters
(hold down shift!). All characters other than the hint characters are now used
to filter hint markers by element text (rather than just being ignored). Do you
prefer filtering by element text, but dislike typing uppercase letters? Have a
look at how [hint characters] work to make things the other way around!

The markers with the best hint are now highlighted with a different color. You
may at any time press `<enter>` to activate those markers (or `<c-enter>` or
`<a-enter>` to change where and how to open links, just like you can hold ctrl
or alt for the last hint character).

Because of the above new features, the following default **Hints mode shortcuts
had to be changed:**

- `<space>` → `<c-space>` (`<s-space>` is left untouched)
- `<s->` → `<c-s->` (hold ctrl _and_ shift to peek through hint markers)
- `<enter>` → `<up>`
- `<c-enter>` → `<c-backspace>`

To make it easier to see the element text, hint markers are now nudged to the
left if they cover the text.

Other hint marker improvements:

- Hint markers are now 20% smaller by default. While trying to match text sizes
  set by your operating system, they ended up a bit too large on most systems.
  Check out the [Styling] documentation if you’d like to change the font size.
- Hint markers now have stronger contrast between the background color and the
  text color, which should make them easier to read.
- The CSS for hint markers have been improved, making it easier to use custom
  [Styling].
- When several elements have the same area, the best hint is now correctly given
  to the _first_ of those elements. Previously, it happened to be the other way
  around.
- The hint marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for
  a larger element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).
- Hint markers are now better positioned when having zoomed the page in or out.
- Hints mode is now more robust in general. Several race conditions have been
  fixed.

#### Other updates

- Added: The ability to **export, import and reset all** VimFx options. There
  are three shiny new buttons for this in VimFx’s options page in the Add-ons
  Manager!
- Added: The `gB` command, which lets you **quickly blacklist** (and
  un-blacklist) sites.
- Added: The `ec` command, for opening the context menu of elements.
- Added: The `ep` command, for opening links in new private windows.
- Improved: `h`, `l`, `j` and `k` now feel more like scrolling with the arrow
  keys when held down, by boosting the scrolling speed. See the
  [`scroll.horizontal_boost` and `scroll.vertical_boost`][scroll-boost] options
  for more information.
- Fixed: VimFx’s find bar integration is now much more robust. Most notably, if
  you start typing directly after pressing `/` and Firefox is slow at opening
  the find bar, your keypresses can no longer trigger VimFx commands or Firefox
  built-in commands.
- Improved: VimFx no longer leaks keypresses to the web page in some modes. (For
  example, counts in Caret mode).
- Improved: The `eb` command now finds more clickable elements in the devtools.
- Changed: `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` no longer lets you easily break for example
  Hints mode, by now only being applied to Normal mode. You might need to change
  your matchers from `(location, mode) => ...` to simply `location => ...`.
  (Breaking API change.)
- Changed: The object passed to custom commands (and custom modes) no longer
  contains a `uiEvent` property. Instead, there’s an `event` property. This
  property can be used the same way if you check `vim.isUIEvent(event)` first.
  (Breaking API change.)

[scroll-boost]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8bafdf0454043c1630bac8b13d13f1fb4e5ee9e7/documentation/options.md#scrollhorizontal_boost-and-scrollvertical_boost

### 0.18.1 (2016-08-27)

- Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` no longer crashes on startup.
- Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` can now override the `prevent_autofocus`
  pref again.

### 0.18.0 (2016-08-20)

#### Changed default shortcuts

Some default keyboard shortcuts have been changed.

- Hint commands. Many of the old ones were difficult to remember, and there was
  no space for adding new ones.

  - `gf` → `et` (t as in tab)
  - `gF` → `ew` (w as in window)
  - `zf` → `ef` (f as in focus)
  - `zF` → `eb` (b as in browser)
  - `zv` → `av` (you actually select _all_ of the element’s text)

  (`f`, `yf`, `af`, `v` and `yv` stay unchanged.)

  There is a longer [explanation of these new defaults][hint-shortcuts] in the
  documentation.

- `zr` → `gC`. `zr` was the only shortcut starting with `z`. This frees that key
  up for other uses.

- `` ` `` → `'`. The `` ` `` shortcut (“scroll to mark”) as well as the `` ` ``
  mark (“last position mark”) have both been changed to `'`. Both `` ` `` and
  `'` are used in Vim. `'` is a better default, because it is easier to
  type–both on an en-US QWERTY keyboard and, more importantly, on some
  international layouts, such as the sv-SE QWERTY layout.

  Note: If you miss Firefox’s default `'` shortcut to open the Quick Find bar
  (which is now overridden), remember that VimFx provides `g/` which does the
  same thing. (You can of course also change VimFx’s shortcuts.)

#### Other updates

- Added: It is now possible to create [custom hint commands].
- Fixed: The bottom-right corner of the page scrollbars can now be used with the
  mouse again.
- Fixed: The toolbar button now correctly toggles VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts
  dialog again.
- Updated locales: fr, ru. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r) and Nicholas
  Guriev (@mymedia2)!

[custom hint commands]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/e8d9df31dd5c8df999ac22e3b3b8d548a68c6fa7/documentation/api.md#custom-hint-commands

### 0.17.4 (2016-07-11)

- Improved: The usage of modifier keys in Hints mode is now shown in VimFx’s
  Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog. The functionality has been there for a long
  time, but should now be easier to find. Thanks to our awesome translators,
  the new help text is already available in most supported locales!
- Improved: If you submit a form while still being inside one of its text
  inputs, that text input is now automatically blurred. This lets you use VimFx
  commands while waiting for the form to submit without having to press
  `<escape>` first.
- Improved: The `gu` command now works better on some pages, by preserving a
  trailing slash. Thanks to @sinkuu!
- Improved: VimFx now recognizes text areas in the TYPO3 CMS.
- Improved: The `<escape>` command and the toolbar button now let you escape
  back to Normal mode if VimFx ever gets stuck thinking that you are typing in a
  text input.

### 0.17.3 (2016-06-27)

- Improved: The `zF` command can now open even more dropdown menus of buttons.

### 0.17.2 (2016-06-19)

- Improved: The `zF` command now works with more buttons and is able to open
  dropdown menus of buttons.
- Fixed: The `f` commands now recognize more file upload buttons.
- Fixed: Rotating hint markers now works more as expected after having entered a
  few hint chars.
- Fixed: Scrolling now works in SVG documents.
- Fixed: Opening links in new tabs in Firefox 50.
- Updated locales: pt-BR and ru. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)
  and Nicholas Guriev (@mymedia2)!

### 0.17.1 (2016-06-12)

- Fixed: The `zF` command no longer accidentally double-clicks instead of
  single-clicking. Thanks to Alan Wu (@XrXr)!
- Fixed: The `zF` command no longer crashes in Firefox 49+.
- Fixed: The “URL popup,” shown when hovering or focusing links, now appears
  again when focusing links using `zf` (regression since 0.17.0).
- Updated locale: it. Thanks to Carlo Bertoldi (@cbertoldi)!

### 0.17.0 (2016-06-08)

- Fixed: VimFx no longer scrolls smaller elements on a page instead of the
  entire page on some sites.
- Improved: The `/`, `n` and `N` have been drastically sped up (when
  [`find_from_top_of_viewport`][find_from_top_of_viewport-1] is on). Previously,
  they appeared to freeze on some sites, but not anymore.
- Improved: You can no longer accidentally trigger VimFx between pressing `/`
  and the find bar input being is focused.
- Improved: The `n` and `N` commands are now more robust.
- Improved: “Fullscreen” buttons and “Copy to clipboard” buttons can now be
  activated the `f` command. Thanks to Alan Wu (@XrXr)!
- Changed: After having pressed `m` or `` ` `` VimFx no longer waits
  indefinitely for you to press a mark key. Instead, the [timeout] option is
  honored.
- Changed: After having pressed `m` or `` ` `` you can now press `<escape>` to
  abort those commands.
- Changed: Find mode is no longer shown in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
  dialog, to reduce clutter. (This can be changed through custom
  [styling][styling-1].)
- Changed: The `?` command as well as the toolbar button now _toggle_ VimFx’s
  Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (instead of always showing it, even if it was
  already shown.)
- Changed: Counts are now ignored in Ignore mode. Previously, pressing number
  keys would both send those key presses to the page _and_ contribute to the
  count for commands (showing up in the bottom-right corner). This is no longer
  the case.
- Updated locales: fr, zh-CN and zh-TW. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r),
  @av2000ii and Robert Wang (@cyberrob)!

### 0.16.1 (2016-05-29)

- Fixed: The `zF` command no longer crashes (regression since 0.16.0).

### 0.16.0 (2016-05-29)

- Fixed: The text input focus detection problems introduced in 0.15.1, which
  sometimes caused VimFx commands to be triggered while typing in text inputs,
  have been fixed.
- Improved: If you press `n` or `N` when there are are no matches for your
  search, the find bar is no longer opened. Only a notification is shown. The
  reliability of those notifications has also been improved.
- Improved: Hints mode now finds more links.
- Improved: Pressing `<c-enter>` in Hints mode now includes more elements.
- Updated locales: es, zh-CN. Thanks to @strel and @av2000ii!

### 0.15.1 (2016-05-22)

- Improved: Better hints on Twitter.
- Improved: Compatibility with the [Evernote Web Clipper] add-on (and
  potentially other add-ons with similar UI).
- Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!

[Evernote Web Clipper]: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/evernote-web-clipper/

### 0.15.0 (2016-05-18)

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

[`blur_timeout`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/4a1d2468ee558ad1fdf9a4ab60f942d81bbc0b57/documentation/options.md#blur_timeout

### 0.14.3 (2016-05-08)

- Fixed: Version 0.14.2 attempted to fix smooth scrolling speed in newer Firefox
  versions. However, there was a tiny typo that caused the fix not to work. That
  typo has been corrected.

### 0.14.2 (2016-05-08)

- Fixed: Smooth scrolling speed is now correct again in newer Firefox versions.
- Fixed: The `yv` Caret mode command now only copies text that you can see on
  screen (not any hidden text that might be on the page), making it truly work
  like `zv` followed by `y`, as intended. This problem was very noticeable on
  Slack. This also improves copying of 'contenteditable' elements using `yf`.
- Fixed: `<escape>` and arrow key handling as well as hint markers in the
  devtools now work correctly again in newer Firefox versions.
- Fixed: VimFx no longer makes it impossible to open the Developer Toolbar.
- Improved: VimFx now ignores `<numlock>` and `<capslock>`. If your keyboard
  sends `<numlock>` before some symbols, such as `<numlock>$` instead of just
  `$`, shortcuts like `gx$` now work out of the box. This also means that you
  can use `<capslock>` instead of `<shift>` when typing the `J` in `gJ`, for
  example.
- Improved: Some minor cosmetic tweaks in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
  dialog.

### 0.14.1 (2016-04-30)

- Fixed: The Find commands (such as `/`, `n` and `N`) no longer crash on some
  sites (regression since 0.14.0).

### 0.14.0 (2016-04-29)

- Added: [Caret mode], which lets you copy text from web pages using the
  keyboard.
- Improved: The Find commands (such as `/`, `n` and `N`) now search from the top
  of the viewport, instead of from the top of the document, which is more
  Vim-like and less disorienting. To read more about it (or to return to the
  Firefox default behavior) please see the [`find_from_top_of_viewport`] pref.
- Improved: Compatibility with the [BackTrack Tab History] add-on.
- Added: The `<c-enter>` Hints mode command, which creates hint markers for
  _all_ elements.
- Fixed: `__dirname` inside config files now works on Windows. Thanks to
  Zhong Jianxin (@azuwis)!
- Fixed: Unnecessary full-page hint markers on some sites, such as Hackernews,
  no longer appear.

[Caret mode]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/4ffda62560096f91244f3f7731171002ed174f05/documentation/commands.md#the-v-commands--caret-mode

[BackTrack Tab History]: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backtrack-tab-history/

### 0.13.2 (2016-04-08)

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

[`adjustable_element_keys`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/645e35d7d82019b0551534c43926bc126e7105bd/documentation/options.md#adjustable_element_keys

### 0.13.1 (2016-04-01)

- Fixed: Blacklisting of some XUL pages.
- Fixed: The current mode is no longer lost when a page loads. For example, if
  you press `zF` while a page is loading, the markers no longer disappear.
- Fixed: Elements that you have focused using an `f` command no longer get stuck
  appearing as if you’d put the mouse pointer.
- Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @mozillazg!

### 0.13.0 (2016-03-19)

- Added: The `T` command, which opens a new tab after the current.
- Changed: The `gl` command now deals with _visited_ tabs only.
- Added: The [`gL`] command, which deals with <em>un</em>visited tabs only, in
  oldest-first order. Use this to step through your unvisited background tabs in
  the order you opened them (for example using the `F` command).
- Improved: The `gi` command no longer tries to focus the last focused text
  input if it has been removed from the page. If so, it finds a new one instead.
- Fixed: You can now type in sidebar text inputs (such as in the history
  sidebar) without having to switch to Ignore mode.
- Changed: If you enter Ignore mode you will now stay in Ignore mode in that tab
  until you explicitly exit it (by pressing `<s-escape>`), even if you reload
  the page or follow a link. If Ignore mode was entered automatically because of
  the [blacklist][blacklist-2], though, you will be automatically returned to
  Normal mode if
  the URL changes to a non-blacklisted page.
- Added: VimFx can now automatically enter and exit Ignore mode based on the
  currently focused element. Currently, the [wasavi] extension as well as
  [CodeMirror] in Vim mode are detected. Both of those provide Vim-style
  editors. This allows sending `<escape>` to those editors in order to exit
  their Insert mode, without blurring the editor.
- Improved: CodeMirror editors now get better hints, keeping the cursor where
  you left it.
- Improved: The [blacklist][blacklist-2] is now applied faster on some pages.
- Improved: Many audio and video elements are now recognized as “adjustable”,
  allowing you to press for example `<space>` on them to toggle play/pause,
  without scrolling the page.
- Improved: Scrolling by pages, such as using the `<space>` command, now takes
  fixed heaears and footers into account, just like Firefox does.
- Fixed: Access keys now work correctly in context menus in the devtools and
  `about:config`.
- Improved: The arrow keys now Just Work in the devtools, even if you have bound
  them to VimFx commands.
- Changed: The public API has been removed, and turned into the Config file API.
  If you were already using a config file, it will no longer work. You need to
  set up a new one, but you should be able to simply copy and paste the contents
  of the old one into the new one. Read the [config file] documentation for more
  information.
- Changed: There are a few minor breaking changes to the API, though I doubt it
  will affect anyone.
  - If you use [`vimfx.on`], you probably need to adjust the arguments of the
    your callbacks. They are now _always_ passed an object of data, instead of
    sometimes passing the data directly.
  - `match.focus` of [match object]s has been removed, and replaced by
    `vim.focusType` of [vim object]s.
- Fixed: The toolbar button’s icon is now correctly sized when setting
  `layout.css.devPixelsPerPx` to `2`. Thanks to Robert Ma (@Hexcles) and Dale
  Whinham (@dwhinham)!
- Fixed: Find commands now work when the find bar was opened before the page had
  finished loading.
- Improved: Lots of internal improvements. This should make VimFx faster, more
  reliable and more responsive.
  - All keyboard event handling (except `<late>` shortcuts) are now handled in
    the UI process, instead of mostly in each tab’s web page content process.
    This should make VimFx’s shortcuts more reliable and responsive.
  - Removed all synchronous message passing (execpt for `<late>` keypresses).
    Mozilla recommends using them only where absolutely necessary. Turns out
    VimFx doesn’t need them anymore!
  - The `f` commands are now more reliable. Before, they could crash on rare
    occasions (on certain web pages), but that is less likely now.
  - Less `MutationObserver`s are now used. This should improve performance.
  - Less uncaught errors (especially on shutdown).
  - Lots of minor improvements.
- Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!

### 0.12.0 (2016-02-03)

- Improved: More clickable elements are now recognized. Most notably, elements
  with click event listeners added by JavaScript now get hints.
- Improved: Autofocus prevention after using the `[` and `]` commands.
- Added: In VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (which can be opened by
  pressing `?`) you can now click on any command to open VimFx’s settings page
  in the Add-ons Manager and automatically select the text input for that
  command, letting you edit its shortcuts. Tip: Use the `zF` command to click
  without using the mouse.
- Changed: Autofocus is no longer prevented in Firefox internal pages, such as
  `about:preferences`, `about:addons` and `about:config` (as well as other XUL
  pages).
- Fixed: VimFx and the Beyond Australis extension do not conflict with each
  other anymore.
- Fixed: The `gH` command no longer nags you about “No back/forward history”
  even though there is.
- Added: The `gl` command now takes a [count][gl-count].
- Improved: Optimized CPU usage in Hints mode. (See also the [`hints_sleep`]
  pref.)
- Improved: The `H` and `L` commands should now be more reliable in Firefox 43
  and later.
- Changed: There was a tiny breaking change to the Public API, though I doubt it
  will affect anyone. (See [commit 0ca807605e] if you’re especially interested.)
- Improved: _Several_ minor things, and some really nice internal refactoring.
- Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!

[`hints_sleep`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/92b483c4a4f6da0b2c998267e0f01d3d999f93b6/documentation/options.md#hints_sleep

[commit 0ca807605e]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/commit/0ca807605e8d69fdc01ef9ce5d539cf66ce7d96f

### 0.11.0 (2016-01-15)

- Fixed: The `` ` `` command is no longer broken.
- Fixed: Memory leak.
- Added: The `gl` command, which takes you to the most recent tab.
- Improved: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now scrollable using VimFx’s
  scrolling commands. To allow for this, the search field is no longer
  autofocused. Instead, press `/` to open it.
- Improved: Using the `f` commands, such as `f` and `zf`, now works like
  actually moving your mouse onto the link, making hover menus and such-like
  appear.
- Improved: VimFx should now work better with Google Drive Documents, Etherpad
  and a few other fancy text editors.
- Improved: The `]` command now works on google.com.
- Improved: Checkboxes and menu items on gmail.com are now given hints by the
  `f` command.
- Improved: The `gi` command now also recognizes 'contenteditable' elements.
- Improved: Hint markers now move along together with their elements.
- Fixed: Hint markers should now be correctly positioned when zooming.
- Fixed: The toolbar button icon should now look correctly on Retina screens.
- Added: You may now disable counts by using toggling the [`counts_enabled`]
  pref.
- Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
- Improved: Several minor things.

[`counts_enabled`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8dae7aec9008595da31b939d5ae2d239849cf6dc/documentation/options.md#counts_enabled

### 0.10.0 (2015-12-09)

- Added: The `zF` command, which lets you click browser elements.
- Improved: The scrolling commands can now scroll browser elements (in other
  words, not only web page content), by first selecting the scollable element
  using `zF`.
- Added: The `gr` command, which toggles [Reader View].
- Added: The `gX` command, which opens the Recently Closed Tabs menu at the
  middle of the screen.
- Added: The keys you’ve typed so far of a command, as well the count, are now
  shown in a [notification]. (You may disable this using the
  [`notify_entered_keys`] pref.)
- Improved: When commands don’t do anything, they show a [notification] instead,
  letting you know that you actually pressed the right keys. For example, if you
  press `f` but there are no markable elements visible, a notification is shown
  telling you so, instead of silently doing nothing.
- Improved: `<space>` now scrolls _about a line less_ than a full page, just
  like Firefox does by default. `d` scroll about _half_ a line less (by
  default), so that pressing `d` twice works like pressing `<space>` once. (See
  the [`scroll.full_page_adjustment` and `scroll.half_page_adjustment`] prefs
  for more information.)
- Improved: `gi` now only selects all text in its text input if you haven’t
  focused a text input yet (allowing you to easily replace pre-filled text),
  instead of _always_ doing so. Otherwise, it now puts the cursor where you left
  off typing the last time.
- Fixed: The `f` commands now put the cursor where you left off typing the last
  time when focusing a text input. Previously, they accidentally selected all
  text in the text input (use `zf` for that behavior).
- Fixed: Yet a scrolling fix. VimFx’s scrolling commands should now “just work”
  on even more sites.
- Fixed: AltGr should now work out of the box on Windows. (See the
  [`ignore_ctrl_alt`] pref for more information.)
- Removed: The el-GR, hu and pl locales were sadly too out of date to be useful,
  and nobody has shown interest in updating them, so they were removed.
- Updated locales: id, de and zh-CN. Thanks to Yoppy Halilintar, @just-barcodes
  and @mozillazg!
- Fixed: Several tiny bugs.

### 0.9.0 (2015-12-02)

- Fixed: Links with the `onclick` attribute can now be opened in new tabs again.
  (Regression since 0.8.0.)
- Fixed: The text size in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now
  correctly resized.
- Added: The `gH` command. It opens the back/forward button context menu in the
  middle of the window, allowing you to choose a history entry with the arrow
  keys and `<enter>`.

### 0.8.0 (2015-12-01)

- Fixed: VimFx now works properly in tabs moved to other windows.
- Fixed: An unreliable check for multi-process mode has been eliminated, fixing
  various problems for some users.
- Fixed: VimFx’s toolbar button now changes color correctly when switching
  between blacklisted and non-blacklisted tabs.
- Fixed: Dead keys now work out of the box on Windows.
- Improved: Links with the `onclick` attribute (abused as buttons) can no longer
  get the same hint as another link.
- Added: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (shown by pressing `?`) is now
  searchable.
- Added: The `g/` command. It’s like `/` but searches links only.

- Added: [Marks].

  - Use `ma` to mark the current scroll position and `` `a `` to return to it.
    (You may substitute `a` with any key press.)
  - Use ``` `` ``` to return to the position before the last `gg`, `G`, `0`,
    `$`, `/`, `n`, `N` or `` ` ``. (You can change this mark using the
    [`last_scroll_position_mark`] pref.)

- Added: Window commands.

  - `w`: Open new window.
  - `W`: Open new private window.
  - `gw`: Move tab to new window.
  - `gF`: Follow link in new window.

[Marks]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/47fc699ce8217ee90af4d12e81f102f2bea09d61/documentation/commands.md#marks-m-and-

### 0.7.3 (2015-11-22)

- Fixed: Scrolling now works correctly in pages in quirks mode (lacking a
  doctype), such as Hackernews.
- Improved: The largest scrollable element is now detected better in frames.
- Fixed: Hints mode now exits correctly when focusing a text input using `af`,
  or `f` with a count.

### 0.7.2 (2015-11-21)

- Fixed: The blinking text caret now always appears correctly when focusing text
  inputs.

### 0.7.1 (2015-11-21)

- Fixed: The scrolling commands should now “just work” when using non-default
  zoom or DPI settings, most notably on Google Groups.

### 0.7.0 (2015-11-19)

- Changed: Instead of using system notifications, which turned out to be a bit
  too intrusive, [notifications] are now similar to the “URL popup” (shown when
  hovering or focusing links) but are placed on the opposite side,.
- Changed: The “Focus next element” and “Focus previous element” commands have
  been removed. The reason they existed was to let `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` only
  cycle between text inputs (as opposed to _all_ focusable elements) after
  you’ve pressed `gi`. Now, `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` are handled specially instead,
  and _only_ after pressing `gi`. The reason for this change is that the now
  removed commands were too intrusive, breaking user habits. One of VimFx’s main
  goal is _not_ to do that. (You can turn the special handling of `<tab>` and
  `<s-tab>` off using the the new [`focus_previous_key` and `focus_next_key`]
  prefs.)
- Fixed: The scrolling commands should now “just work” in a lot more situations,
  most notably on Gmail and Google Groups. More scrollable elements are also
  recognized by the `f` and `zf` commands.
- Improved: The right border of hint markers for scrollable elements is now
  styled to remind of a scroll bar, making them easier to recognize among hints
  for links.
- Improved/Changed: `J` and `gJ` now allow a count on the first tab.
  Consequently, `K` and `gK` now allow a count on the _last_ tab.
- Changed: `gJ` and `gK` can no longer be used to pin or unpin tabs. They now
  only wrap around tabs of the same pinned state. Use `gp` to toggle between
  pinned and non-pinned.
- Fixed: Many elements that got a hint before VimFx 0.6.0 now do again.
- Improved: Comment fields on Facebook can now be focused using `f` and blurred
  using `<escape>`.
- Improved: VimFx’s toolbar button is no greyed out when you focus a text input.
  This is to show that your key presses will be passed into the text input
  rather than activating VimFx commands.
- Added: [`g0`, `g^` and `g$` now accept counts][tab-index-counts], allowing you
  to go to tab number _count._
- Improved: `gi` now finds text inputs inside frames.
- Fixed: “gi mode” is now exited properly when blurring a text input.
- Fixed: `<select>` elements are no longer considered to be text inputs when
  using `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` in “gi mode.”
- Fixed: Using `<force>` or `<late>` in a shortcut no longer applies to _every_
  shortcut for the command, but only that shortcut.
- Fixed: The order of the Previous/Next page patterns is now respected. This
  caused the wrong link to be picked by the `[` and `]` commands on some pages.

### 0.6.2 (2015-11-11)

- Improved: If the entire page isn’t scrollable, the largest scrollable element
  is scrolled instead.
- Fixed: VimFx’s keyboard shortcuts now works on slowly loading pages.
- Fixed: Numbers may now be used as shortcut keys (overriding counts).
- Fixed: The toolbar button’s icon is now correctly sized in high DPI.
- Fixed: Hint markers are now correctly positioned when zooming using the “Zoom
  text only” option.
- Fixed: The `P` command now works with the InstantFox add-on.

### 0.6.1 (2015-11-10)

- Fixed: If you customized the “esc” command before VimFx 0.6.0 it should now
  work as expected.
- Fixed: `<tab>` now works as expected in the location bar and in the dev tools.
- Fixed: Light-weight themes can no longer make VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
  dialog and hint markers unreadable.
- Added: The [notifications\_enabled] option.

[notifications\_enabled]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/56c4b7c514ea8b58d2cdcecf3d2654648c48ca31/documentation/options.md#notifications_enabled

### 0.6.0 (2015-11-09)

##### Most important (breaking) changes

- VimFx now works properly with **any keyboard layout.** Users of **multiple
  layouts** should enable the **[ignore keyboard layout] option.** #249 #259

- Features related to disabling VimFx, and to the [toolbar button]:

  - **Insert Mode** has been renamed to **_Ignore_ mode.**
  - **[Blacklisted][blacklist] sites** now **enter Ignore mode automatically,**
    instead of being specially handled.
  - The feature to click the toolbar button (or press `<a-V>`) to **disable
    VimFx** has been **removed.** Use **Ignore mode** (`i`) and the
    **[blacklist] instead.**
  - The **toolbar button** is now **red in Ignore mode** (which also means that
    it is red on blacklisted sites) and green otherwise (never grey anymore).
  - The toolbar button no longer offers to (un-)blacklist the current domain.
    (Head into VimFx’s settings page in the Add-ons Manager and add
    `*currentdomain.com*` to the [blacklist] option yourself instead.)

  (See [commit 3552282] for more information.)

- **Some default shortcuts have changed,** mostly because they conflicted with
  standard Firefox shortcuts: #308

  - `<c-J>` → `gJ`

  - `<c-K>` → `gK`

  - `g^` and `gH` → `g0`

    `g^` now selects the first _non pinned_ tab instead, while `g0`
    selects the first tab regardless of whether it is pinned or not. #317

  - `<c-e>` (alias for `j`) and `<c-y>` (alias for `k`) have been removed.

  - `<c-f>` → `<space>` and `<c-b>` → `<s-space>`

  - `vf` → `zf`

    This frees up `v` for future shortcuts (instead making `z` a
    “namespace” key, just like in Vim).

  - To **exit Ignore mode:** `<escape>` → `<s-escape>`. This is because Ignore
    mode has replaced the disable feature, as well as the special blacklist
    state (see above). Sites are likely to use `<escape>` but not `<s-escape>`.
    (In a way, this new role of Ignore mode also means that the old (many times
    broken) shortcut to disable VimFx (`<a-V>`) has been replaced by `i`.) #64
    \#375 #432

- VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now help only, and more accessible.
  To **customize keyboard shortcuts,** go to VimFx’s settings page **in the
  Add-ons Manager,** just like you would to customize other settings. Also,
  **commas** between every key are **no longer needed:** Type `gJ` instead of
  `g,J`.

- For performance reasons, **Hint markers** are now placed vertically **centered
  instead of at the top** of the element. Don’t be surprised if you see the same
  hint repeated several times**—links that go to the same place now get the same
  hint.** The “Smart hints” option has been removed—hints are _always_ smart
  now, and a lot smarter than before. Finally, hints now also work in the new
  tab page, the Add-ons Manager and the preferences page. If you want to, you
  can read more about [the `f` commands]. \#51 #60 #176 #320 #325 #468 #471 #475

- The **`F`** command now _always_ opens tabs in new **background** tabs, while
  **`gf`** has been added to open tabs in new **foreground** tabs. #227 #464

- **Autofocus prevention** is now **off by default.** One of VimFx’s core
  philosophies is to be nice to your browser habits. Some find autofocus
  prevention too big a change. Turn it on again if you like it! By the way,
  autofocus prevention now works much more reliably and should not cause issues
  with other extensions. #497 #541

- The **“Scroll step”** option has been **removed**. The scrolling commands that
  used it now **work like the arrow keys instead,** and are customized just like
  them. See [scrolling prefs] for more information.

- Speaking of scrolling, **which elements scrolls** when you use VimFx’s
  scrolling commands **has changed.** See [scrolling commands] for more
  information.

##### New features

- New commands:

  - `gp` pins or unpins the current tab. (Also see `g^` and `g0` mentioned
    above.) #121
  - `yt` duplicates the current tab. #121
  - `0` and `^` scroll to the far left, and `$` scrolls to the far right.
  - [`gi`] has finally been implemented. #47
  - [Ignore mode `<s-f1>`] let you run a Normal mode command without exiting
    Ignore mode.

- In Hints mode you can now hold ctrl and alt to change behavior of the matched
  marker. Hold shift to temporarily make the hints see-through. See [the `f`
  commands] for more information. #220 #421 #484

- Some commands now accept [counts]. #374

- It is now possible to create shortcuts that work inside text inputs. See the
  [`<force>`] key for more information. #258

- It is now possible to create shortcuts that the page can override. See the
  [`<late>`] key for more information.

- A number of [advanced options] have been added. Rather than listing everything
  regarding them here, follow that link if you’re interested. #452 #489

- You may now, if you want to, configure VimFx through a [config file], using
  the new [public API]. Customizing VimFx through a config file also gives extra
  abilities, such as [site-specific options][option-overrides] and [disabling
  certain commands on certain sites][key-overrides]. It also allows to add
  [custom commands] \(and other extensions to extend VimFx). #158 #235 #255 #261
  \#300 #408 #445 #490 #515

- It is now easier to customize VimFx through custom [styling]. An example is
  changing the way hint markers look. #220 #233 #424 #432 #465

- VimFx now has [documentation] and a [wiki].

- A few new locales were added:

  - fr. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r)!
  - pt-BR. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)!
  - sv-SE. Thanks to Andreas Lindhé (@lindhe)!

##### Improvements

- VimFx is now multi-process/Electrolysis/e10s compatible! This means that you
  can run VimFx on a version of Firefox with multi-process enabled without
  issues, and that we’re future proof for the day when Firefox becomes
  multi-process by default. Best of all, it also made VimFx more reliable in
  non-multi-process (“regular”) Firefox. #378

- The `[` and `]` commands are now smarter, recognizing more links to the
  previous/next page correctly. You may read more about [previous/next page
  patterns]. #396

- The `n` and `N` commands now notify you when they wrap around the page, or the
  phrase you searched for could not be found. #398

- _All_ shortcuts in _all modes_ can now be customized. For example, this allows
  you to disable VimFx’s Vim-style `<enter>` behavior in the find bar. #222 #390
  \#421

- The `p` and `P` commands are now smarter regarding whether to treat the
  clipboard contents as a URL or a search, by working exactly like pasting in
  the location bar. They also now read the selection clipboard, if available.
  \#353 #382

- VimFx’s toolbar button is now properly implemented. #303 #349 #383

- Most locales were updated. Thanks to our awesome [translators]!

##### Minor bug fixes

- VimFx now works correctly in tabs dragged to other windows. #57
- The `p` command is no longer broken. #494
- Non-ASCII shortcut keys now work properly. #433
- The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog can no longer be covered by page elements.
  \#477
- Hint markers can no longer be covered by page elements.
- VimFx no longer causes scripts on icloud.com to get stuck in an infinite loop.
  \#389

### 0.5.17 (2015-01-23)

- Fixed: The hints generation no longer crashes on some pages (regression since
  version 0.5.15).

### 0.5.16 (2015-01-22)

- Fixed: The toolbar button no longer throws errors. (This fix should have been
  in 0.5.15 but was forgotten. Luckily an AMO reviewer found it.)

### 0.5.15 (2015-01-21)

- Improved: This version is now forwards-compatible with the upcoming version
  0.6.0. Downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.14 or older might cause VimFx to crash,
  but downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.15 is safe.
- Fixed: Non-hintchars key presses in hints mode are now suppressed. They used
  to be passed along to the browser, which could confusingly activate site
  commands.
- Fixed: The 'f' command now always opens links in the same tab. Links used to
  be able to force a new tab or window.
- Fixed: Pressing 'Esc' in the location bar now restores the URL, as is the
  default behaviour of Firefox. You may now also close Firefox dialogs using
  'Esc'.
- Improved: Updated the de locale. Thanks to Alexander Haeussler!
- Improved: Updated the pl locale. Thanks to morethanoneanimal!

### 0.5.14 (2014-08-16)

- Fixed: Locales should now work properly.
- Improved: Updated the zh-CN locale (@mozillazg).
- Improved: Updated the de locale (@Kambfhase).
- Added: Japanese locale (@pluser).
- Fixed: If you switched to another tab or window while an `<input>` element
  was focused and then switched back, the `<input>` element got blurred, while
  it should have stayed focused. This caused the auto-type feature of KeePassX
  to break.

### 0.5.13 (2014-08-02)

- Fixed: The vote button on StackExchange sites are now markable again.
- Improved: Detection of previous/next links. Should work better on gmail now.
- Fixed: It is now possible to use Enter/Return in keyboard shortcuts.
- Improved: The n/N commands (etc.) now work even if you didn’t open the finbar
  using the VimFx command (such as the default key binding ctrl+f, or by
  clicking a menu item).
- Improved: It is now possible to blur text inputs without sending Esc to the
  page, which could cause dialogs etc. to annoyingly close.
- Improved: Updated the el-GR locale (@sirodoht).
- Fixed: Autofocus prevention sometimes made text inputs impossible to focus
  until you reloaded the page.
- Improved: Autofocus prevention now works on more sites than before.
- Improved: Autofocus prevention now prevents _all_ automatic focusing (not
  just when the page loads). This makes devdocs.io much easier to use.
- Added: When viewing images directly and the image has been resized to fit the
  screen the image is now markable, allowing you to toggle zoom on it using the
  keyboard.
- Fixed: It is no longer possible to add conflicting shortcuts (such as adding
  'a' when 'af' and 'as' are already present).

### 0.5.12 (2014-06-01)

- Fixed: Autofocus prevention got stuck sometimes, making it impossible to
  focus inputs.
