29 displays an overlay.
30 - Fixed: The statusbar now works again.
31 - Fixed: VimFx should now work with Nightly 70, by removing usage of the
32 deprecated `Array.filter()` method and others.
33
34 Thanks to Tobias Girstmair (@girst)!
35
36 ### 0.21.0 (2019-05-15)
37
38 - Removed: The Developer Toolbar integration, such as the `:` shortcut. That
39 feature has been removed from Firefox and the integration was causing issues
40 on newer Firefox versions. Thanks to Tobias Girstmair (@girst)!
41 - Fixed: VimFx should now work on Waterfox again. Tested with Waterfox 56,
42 Firefox 56, Firefox 64 and Waterfox 68. Thanks to Tobias Girstmair (@girst)
43 and @matsuhav!
44
45 ### 0.20.15 (2018-08-06)
46
47 - Fixed: Find mode now works properly again. Thanks to @matsuhav!
48
49 ### 0.20.14 (2018-05-15)
50
51 - Fixed: VimFx should now work properly in Firefox 61 (if you have enabled
52 legacy extensions) as well as older versions of Firefox. The latest few
53 versions have been a bit buggy, but things should work better now. Thanks to
54 Kevin Cox (@kevincox) and 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
55
56 ### 0.20.13 (2018-05-06)
57
58 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 61 (if you have enabled legacy
59 extensions). Thanks to Kevin Cox (@kevincox), 依云 (@lilydjwg) and Jan
60 Kokemüller (@jiixyj)!
61
62 ### 0.20.12 (2018-01-23)
63
64 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 59 (if you have enabled legacy
65 extensions). Thanks to Kevin Cox (@kevincox) and 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
66 - Updated locale: es. Thanks to @strel!
67
68 ### 0.20.11 (2017-11-19)
69
70 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 58 (if you have enabled legacy
71 extensions). Thanks to 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
72
73 ### 0.20.10 (2017-03-25)
74
75 - Improved: Autofocus is now prevented when going back in history on pages that
76 use `history.pushState()` (in other words, on the 'popstate' event).
77 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!
78
79 ### 0.20.9 (2017-02-21)
80
81 - Fixed: The `yy` command now works as expected in Reader Mode.
82
83 ### 0.20.8 (2017-01-14)
84
85 - Improved: The scrolling commands now scroll the closest scrollable parent of
86 the currently focused element (if it is not scrollable itself). This is
87 noticeable for Twitter’s modals, which are often scrollable. No longer any
88 need to use the `f` or `ef` commands to scroll those modals!
89
90 ### 0.20.7 (2017-01-07)
91
92 - Improved: The `[` and `]` commands now work in Google search results.
93 - Improved: You can now show the “emoji picker” of the “like” button on Facebook
94 by using the `ef` command.
95 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @interleaved!
96
97 ### 0.20.6 (2016-12-16)
98
99 - Fixed: The `'`, `g[` and `g]` commands no longer crash. (Regression since
100 0.20.5.)
101 - Fixed: The `ef` command can now focus elements in deeply nested frames again.
102 (Regression since 0.19.0.)
103 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` and `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` are now properly
104 undone when reloading a config file (`gC`).
105 - Improved: Hint markers for elements with multiline text no longer cover the
106 text.
107 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @interleaved!
108
109 ### 0.20.5 (2016-12-04)
110
111 - Fixed: Scrolling by holding `d`, `u`, `<space>` or `<s-space>` no longer goes
112 slower and slower (and finally grinding to a halt) on long pages with lots of
113 elements. (See also the [`scroll.repeat_timeout`] pref.)
114 - Improved: All config API functions now validate all their parameters properly.
115 This provides a better user experience, and, most importantly, prevents VimFx
116 from crashing on certain invalid input.
117
118 [`scroll.repeat_timeout`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/58deb3f7b7c470a4d705f1dabf7aa13e095e8d09/documentation/options.md#smooth-scrolling
119
120 ### 0.20.4 (2016-11-16)
121
122 - Fixed: The `n` and `N` commands now work in Firefox’s PDF viewer.
123 - Fixed: The `eb` command can now click the tab bar scroll buttons.
124 - Fixed: Elements marked by the `eb` command now correctly get hints based on
125 their area again.
126 - Improved: The `eb` command now favors the browser tabs and their close
127 buttons, giving them better hints.
128 - Improved: The hints given to the browser tabs by the `eb` command are now
129 consistent no matter how many tabs you have open. This means that the first
130 tab always gets the same hint, the second tab always get the same hint, and so
131 on.
132 - Improved: Hint markers are now placed next to the text of the element if
133 appropriate. For example, the hint marker for a button with centered text is
134 now placed just to the left of the text rather than at the left edge of
135 button. This is nice because it means that hint markers usually end up where
136 you were just reading.
137 - Improved: The positioning of hint markers has been fine-tuned by a pixel or so
138 in some cases.
139 - Improved: Custom styled checkboxes and radio buttons now get hint markers
140 faster (they are now found in the first pass rather than the second).
141 - Improved: Compatibility with the [Tab Center] add-on.
142 - Improved: Blurring the location bar is now more consistent. Previously, its
143 text wasn’t reset if the autocomplete popup was open when you pressed
144 `<escape>` to blur it.
145 - Fixed: An edge case where the wrong hint markers could be highlighted.
146
147 [Tab Center]: https://testpilot.firefox.com/experiments/tab-center/
148
149 ### 0.20.3 (2016-10-22)
150
151 - Improved: Full page scrolling now recognizes the fixed footer on medium.com.
152 - Fixed: Scrollable element can now be focused with the `f` command again (not
153 just with the `ef` command). (Regression since 0.19.0.)
154 - Fixed: `<escape>` is no longer accidentally leaked to the page when used to
155 blur text inputs. This allows blurring text inputs in modals without closing
156 the modal (which `<escape>` commonly does otherwise).
157
158 ### 0.20.2 (2016-10-16)
159
160 - Fixed: Text inputs and links inside frames can now be focused using hint
161 commands again. (Regression since 0.19.0.)
162 - Improved: Previously focused text inputs inside frames no longer steal the
163 focus when entering Caret mode in that frame.
164 - Improved: When several hint markers have the same hint (because their links
165 go to the same place), the _largest_ of those links is now chosen when
166 activating that hint. This might be noticeable via focus styling.
167 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @av2000ii!
168
169 ### 0.20.1 (2016-10-09)
170
171 - Improved: Caret mode is now a bit more robust. It can no longer make you end
172 up with [Firefox’s own Caret mode] accidentally enabled.
173 - Improved: If you try use for example `<ctrl>-j` as a keyboard shortcut, VimFx
174 will now tell you that you probably want `<c-j>` instead.
175 - Fixed: Using a keyboard shortcut to switch keyboard layout in GNOME while
176 inside a text input no longer causes the focus of that text input to be lost
177 when the Prevent autofocus option is enabled.
178 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @av2000ii!
179
180 [Firefox’s own Caret mode]: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Accessibility_features_of_Firefox#Allow_text_to_be_selected_with_the_keyboard
181
182 ### 0.20.0 (2016-10-02)
183
184 - Added: The `g[` and `g]` commands, which let you scroll to previous and next
185 scroll positions of the current page. This is similar to Vim’s jump list.
186 - Added: The `/` mark. Pressing `'/` takes you to the scroll position before the
187 last `/`, `a/` or `g/`.
188 - Fixed: Pressing `''` multiple times in a row now flips back and forth
189 between two scroll positions as expected.
190 - Fixed: Version 0.19.0 claimed to include the following improvement: “The hint
191 marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for a larger
192 element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).” However, a silly
193 mistake caused that improvement not to work. Now it does. For real.
194 - Fixed: All VimFx commands that copy text to the clipboard are now made sure to
195 also copy to the “selection clipboard” (if your system has such a thing). For
196 example, if you copy text using the `yv` command, the `p` command now uses
197 that copied text as expected.
198
199 ### 0.19.1 (2016-09-26)
200
201 - Fixed: The `'` command no longer crashes. (Regression since 0.19.0.)
202
203 ### 0.19.0 (2016-09-25)
204
205 #### Changes and improvements to Hints mode
206
207 **New feature:** Hint markers can now be filtered by element text, similar to
208 Vimium, Vimperator and Pentadactyl. This is useful for people who simply prefer
209 that workflow, and for clicking tiny pagination links (simply type its number!).
210
211 By default, filtering by element text is done by typing _uppercase_ characters
212 (hold down shift!). All characters other than the hint characters are now used
213 to filter hint markers by element text (rather than just being ignored). Do you
214 prefer filtering by element text, but dislike typing uppercase letters? Have a
215 look at how [hint characters] work to make things the other way around!
216
217 The markers with the best hint are now highlighted with a different color. You
218 may at any time press `<enter>` to activate those markers (or `<c-enter>` or
219 `<a-enter>` to change where and how to open links, just like you can hold ctrl
220 or alt for the last hint character).
221
222 Because of the above new features, the following default **Hints mode shortcuts
223 had to be changed:**
224
225 - `<space>` → `<c-space>` (`<s-space>` is left untouched)
226 - `<s->` → `<c-s->` (hold ctrl _and_ shift to peek through hint markers)
227 - `<enter>` → `<up>`
228 - `<c-enter>` → `<c-backspace>`
229
230 To make it easier to see the element text, hint markers are now nudged to the
231 left if they cover the text.
232
233 Other hint marker improvements:
234
235 - Hint markers are now 20% smaller by default. While trying to match text sizes
236 set by your operating system, they ended up a bit too large on most systems.
237 Check out the [Styling] documentation if you’d like to change the font size.
238 - Hint markers now have stronger contrast between the background color and the
239 text color, which should make them easier to read.
240 - The CSS for hint markers have been improved, making it easier to use custom
241 [Styling].
242 - When several elements have the same area, the best hint is now correctly given
243 to the _first_ of those elements. Previously, it happened to be the other way
244 around.
245 - The hint marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for
246 a larger element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).
247 - Hint markers are now better positioned when having zoomed the page in or out.
248 - Hints mode is now more robust in general. Several race conditions have been
249 fixed.

251 [hint characters]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8bafdf0454043c1630bac8b13d13f1fb4e5ee9e7/documentation/options.md#hint-characters

253
254 #### Other updates
255
256 - Added: The ability to **export, import and reset all** VimFx options. There
257 are three shiny new buttons for this in VimFx’s options page in the Add-ons
258 Manager!
259 - Added: The `gB` command, which lets you **quickly blacklist** (and
260 un-blacklist) sites.
261 - Added: The `ec` command, for opening the context menu of elements.
262 - Added: The `ep` command, for opening links in new private windows.
263 - Improved: `h`, `l`, `j` and `k` now feel more like scrolling with the arrow
264 keys when held down, by boosting the scrolling speed. See the
265 [`scroll.horizontal_boost` and `scroll.vertical_boost`][scroll-boost] options
266 for more information.
267 - Fixed: VimFx’s find bar integration is now much more robust. Most notably, if
268 you start typing directly after pressing `/` and Firefox is slow at opening
269 the find bar, your keypresses can no longer trigger VimFx commands or Firefox
270 built-in commands.
271 - Improved: VimFx no longer leaks keypresses to the web page in some modes. (For
272 example, counts in Caret mode).
273 - Improved: The `eb` command now finds more clickable elements in the devtools.
274 - Changed: `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` no longer lets you easily break for example
275 Hints mode, by now only being applied to Normal mode. You might need to change
276 your matchers from `(location, mode) => ...` to simply `location => ...`.
277 (Breaking API change.)
278 - Changed: The object passed to custom commands (and custom modes) no longer
279 contains a `uiEvent` property. Instead, there’s an `event` property. This
280 property can be used the same way if you check `vim.isUIEvent(event)` first.
281 (Breaking API change.)
282
283 [scroll-boost]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8bafdf0454043c1630bac8b13d13f1fb4e5ee9e7/documentation/options.md#scrollhorizontal_boost-and-scrollvertical_boost
284
285 ### 0.18.1 (2016-08-27)
286
287 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` no longer crashes on startup.
288 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` can now override the `prevent_autofocus`
289 pref again.
290
291 ### 0.18.0 (2016-08-20)
292
293 #### Changed default shortcuts
294
295 Some default keyboard shortcuts have been changed.
296
297 - Hint commands. Many of the old ones were difficult to remember, and there was
298 no space for adding new ones.
299
300 - `gf` → `et` (t as in tab)
301 - `gF` → `ew` (w as in window)
302 - `zf` → `ef` (f as in focus)
303 - `zF` → `eb` (b as in browser)
304 - `zv` → `av` (you actually select _all_ of the element’s text)
305
306 (`f`, `yf`, `af`, `v` and `yv` stay unchanged.)
307
308 There is a longer [explanation of these new defaults][hint-shortcuts] in the
309 documentation.
310
311 - `zr` → `gC`. `zr` was the only shortcut starting with `z`. This frees that key
312 up for other uses.
313
314 - `` ` `` → `'`. The `` ` `` shortcut (“scroll to mark”) as well as the `` ` ``
315 mark (“last position mark”) have both been changed to `'`. Both `` ` `` and
316 `'` are used in Vim. `'` is a better default, because it is easier to
317 type–both on an en-US QWERTY keyboard and, more importantly, on some
318 international layouts, such as the sv-SE QWERTY layout.
319
320 Note: If you miss Firefox’s default `'` shortcut to open the Quick Find bar
321 (which is now overridden), remember that VimFx provides `g/` which does the
322 same thing. (You can of course also change VimFx’s shortcuts.)
323
324 See also issue [#788].

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

416
417 ### 0.16.1 (2016-05-29)
418
419 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer crashes (regression since 0.16.0).
420
421 ### 0.16.0 (2016-05-29)
422
423 - Fixed: The text input focus detection problems introduced in 0.15.1, which
424 sometimes caused VimFx commands to be triggered while typing in text inputs,
425 have been fixed.
426 - Improved: If you press `n` or `N` when there are are no matches for your
427 search, the find bar is no longer opened. Only a notification is shown. The
428 reliability of those notifications has also been improved.
429 - Improved: Hints mode now finds more links.
430 - Improved: Pressing `<c-enter>` in Hints mode now includes more elements.
431 - Updated locales: es, zh-CN. Thanks to @strel and @av2000ii!
432
433 ### 0.15.1 (2016-05-22)
434
435 - Improved: Better hints on Twitter.
436 - Improved: Compatibility with the [Evernote Web Clipper] add-on (and
437 potentially other add-ons with similar UI).

442 ### 0.15.0 (2016-05-18)
443
444 - Improved: Hint markers now appear up to twice as fast on many pages. This is
445 done by creating the hint markers in two phases. Most are created in the
446 first, fast, phase. The rest take the same time as older VimFx versions to
447 show up.
448 - Fixed: VimFx no longer triggers commands while typing in fancy text inputs on
449 some sites, such as when composing a new tweet on Twitter. (See also the
450 [`blur_timeout`] pref.)
451 - Changed: The `<c-enter>` Hints mode command no longer _replaces_ all hint
452 markers on screen (with new ones for all elements on screen). Instead, it
453 _toggles_ your current hint markers with ones for all _other_ elements on
454 screen.
455 - Changed: There was a breaking change to the [`vimfx.setHintMatcher`] function
456 of the `frame.js` config file API. It no longer receives and returns an object
457 (of the shape `{type, semantic}`), but instead simply receives and returns the
458 `type` of the element.
459 - Improved: Some internal robustness refactoring.
460 - Updated locales: de, id, nl and zh-CN. Thanks to @just-barcodes, Yoppy
461 Halilintar (@comepradz), @HJTP, @av2000ii and @mozillazg.

465
466 ### 0.14.3 (2016-05-08)
467
468 - Fixed: Version 0.14.2 attempted to fix smooth scrolling speed in newer Firefox
469 versions. However, there was a tiny typo that caused the fix not to work. That
470 typo has been corrected.
471
472 ### 0.14.2 (2016-05-08)
473
474 - Fixed: Smooth scrolling speed is now correct again in newer Firefox versions.
475 - Fixed: The `yv` Caret mode command now only copies text that you can see on
476 screen (not any hidden text that might be on the page), making it truly work
477 like `zv` followed by `y`, as intended. This problem was very noticeable on
478 Slack. This also improves copying of 'contenteditable' elements using `yf`.
479 - Fixed: `<escape>` and arrow key handling as well as hint markers in the
480 devtools now work correctly again in newer Firefox versions.
481 - Fixed: VimFx no longer makes it impossible to open the Developer Toolbar.
482 - Improved: VimFx now ignores `<numlock>` and `<capslock>`. If your keyboard
483 sends `<numlock>` before some symbols, such as `<numlock>$` instead of just
484 `$`, shortcuts like `gx$` now work out of the box. This also means that you
485 can use `<capslock>` instead of `<shift>` when typing the `J` in `gJ`, for
486 example.
487 - Improved: Some minor cosmetic tweaks in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
488 dialog.
489
490 ### 0.14.1 (2016-04-30)
491
492 - Fixed: The Find commands (such as `/`, `n` and `N`) no longer crash on some
493 sites (regression since 0.14.0).
494
495 ### 0.14.0 (2016-04-29)
496
497 - Added: [Caret mode], which lets you copy text from web pages using the
498 keyboard.
499 - Improved: The Find commands (such as `/`, `n` and `N`) now search from the top
500 of the viewport, instead of from the top of the document, which is more
501 Vim-like and less disorienting. To read more about it (or to return to the
502 Firefox default behavior) please see the [`find_from_top_of_viewport`] pref.
503 - Improved: Compatibility with the [BackTrack Tab History] add-on.
504 - Added: The `<c-enter>` Hints mode command, which creates hint markers for
505 _all_ elements.
506 - Fixed: `__dirname` inside config files now works on Windows. Thanks to
507 Zhong Jianxin (@azuwis)!
508 - Fixed: Unnecessary full-page hint markers on some sites, such as Hackernews,
509 no longer appear.

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

609
610 ### 0.12.0 (2016-02-03)
611
612 - Improved: More clickable elements are now recognized. Most notably, elements
613 with click event listeners added by JavaScript now get hints.
614 - Improved: Autofocus prevention after using the `[` and `]` commands.
615 - Added: In VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (which can be opened by
616 pressing `?`) you can now click on any command to open VimFx’s settings page
617 in the Add-ons Manager and automatically select the text input for that
618 command, letting you edit its shortcuts. Tip: Use the `zF` command to click
619 without using the mouse.
620 - Changed: Autofocus is no longer prevented in Firefox internal pages, such as
621 `about:preferences`, `about:addons` and `about:config` (as well as other XUL
622 pages).
623 - Fixed: VimFx and the Beyond Australis extension do not conflict with each
624 other anymore.
625 - Fixed: The `gH` command no longer nags you about “No back/forward history”
626 even though there is.
627 - Added: The `gl` command now takes a [count][gl-count].
628 - Improved: Optimized CPU usage in Hints mode. (See also the [`hints_sleep`]
629 pref.)
630 - Improved: The `H` and `L` commands should now be more reliable in Firefox 43
631 and later.
632 - Changed: There was a tiny breaking change to the Public API, though I doubt it
633 will affect anyone. (See [commit 0ca807605e] if you’re especially interested.)
634 - Improved: _Several_ minor things, and some really nice internal refactoring.
635 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
636
637 [`hints_sleep`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/92b483c4a4f6da0b2c998267e0f01d3d999f93b6/documentation/options.md#hints_sleep

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

711
712 ### 0.9.0 (2015-12-02)
713
714 - Fixed: Links with the `onclick` attribute can now be opened in new tabs again.
715 (Regression since 0.8.0.)
716 - Fixed: The text size in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now
717 correctly resized.
718 - Added: The `gH` command. It opens the back/forward button context menu in the
719 middle of the window, allowing you to choose a history entry with the arrow
720 keys and `<enter>`.
721
722 ### 0.8.0 (2015-12-01)
723
724 - Fixed: VimFx now works properly in tabs moved to other windows.
725 - Fixed: An unreliable check for multi-process mode has been eliminated, fixing
726 various problems for some users.
727 - Fixed: VimFx’s toolbar button now changes color correctly when switching
728 between blacklisted and non-blacklisted tabs.
729 - Fixed: Dead keys now work out of the box on Windows.
730 - Improved: Links with the `onclick` attribute (abused as buttons) can no longer
731 get the same hint as another link.
732 - Added: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (shown by pressing `?`) is now
733 searchable.
734 - Added: The `g/` command. It’s like `/` but searches links only.
735
736 - Added: [Marks].
737
738 - Use `ma` to mark the current scroll position and `` `a `` to return to it.
739 (You may substitute `a` with any key press.)
740 - Use ``` `` ``` to return to the position before the last `gg`, `G`, `0`,
741 `$`, `/`, `n`, `N` or `` ` ``. (You can change this mark using the
742 [`last_scroll_position_mark`] pref.)
743
744 - Added: Window commands.
745
746 - `w`: Open new window.
747 - `W`: Open new private window.
748 - `gw`: Move tab to new window.
749 - `gF`: Follow link in new window.

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

820 - Improved: If the entire page isn’t scrollable, the largest scrollable element
821 is scrolled instead.
822 - Fixed: VimFx’s keyboard shortcuts now works on slowly loading pages.
823 - Fixed: Numbers may now be used as shortcut keys (overriding counts).

832 work as expected.

837
838 [notifications\_enabled]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/56c4b7c514ea8b58d2cdcecf3d2654648c48ca31/documentation/options.md#notifications_enabled
839
840 ### 0.6.0 (2015-11-09)
841
842 ##### Most important (breaking) changes
843
844 - VimFx now works properly with **any keyboard layout.** Users of **multiple
845 layouts** should enable the **[ignore keyboard layout] option.** #249 #259
846
847 - Features related to disabling VimFx, and to the [toolbar button]:
848
849 - **Insert Mode** has been renamed to **_Ignore_ mode.**
850 - **[Blacklisted][blacklist] sites** now **enter Ignore mode automatically,**
851 instead of being specially handled.
852 - The feature to click the toolbar button (or press `<a-V>`) to **disable
853 VimFx** has been **removed.** Use **Ignore mode** (`i`) and the
854 **[blacklist] instead.**
855 - The **toolbar button** is now **red in Ignore mode** (which also means that
856 it is red on blacklisted sites) and green otherwise (never grey anymore).
857 - The toolbar button no longer offers to (un-)blacklist the current domain.
858 (Head into VimFx’s settings page in the Add-ons Manager and add
859 `*currentdomain.com*` to the [blacklist] option yourself instead.)
860
861 (See [commit 3552282] for more information.)
862
863 - **Some default shortcuts have changed,** mostly because they conflicted with
864 standard Firefox shortcuts: #308
865
866 - `<c-J>` → `gJ`
867
868 - `<c-K>` → `gK`
869
870 - `g^` and `gH` → `g0`
871
872 `g^` now selects the first _non pinned_ tab instead, while `g0`
873 selects the first tab regardless of whether it is pinned or not. #317
874
875 - `<c-e>` (alias for `j`) and `<c-y>` (alias for `k`) have been removed.
876
877 - `<c-f>` → `<space>` and `<c-b>` → `<s-space>`
878
879 - `vf` → `zf`
880
881 This frees up `v` for future shortcuts (instead making `z` a
882 “namespace” key, just like in Vim).
883
884 - To **exit Ignore mode:** `<escape>` → `<s-escape>`. This is because Ignore
885 mode has replaced the disable feature, as well as the special blacklist
886 state (see above). Sites are likely to use `<escape>` but not `<s-escape>`.
887 (In a way, this new role of Ignore mode also means that the old (many times
888 broken) shortcut to disable VimFx (`<a-V>`) has been replaced by `i`.) #64
889 \#375 #432
890
891 - VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now help only, and more accessible.
892 To **customize keyboard shortcuts,** go to VimFx’s settings page **in the
893 Add-ons Manager,** just like you would to customize other settings. Also,
894 **commas** between every key are **no longer needed:** Type `gJ` instead of
895 `g,J`.
896
897 - For performance reasons, **Hint markers** are now placed vertically **centered
898 instead of at the top** of the element. Don’t be surprised if you see the same
899 hint repeated several times**—links that go to the same place now get the same
900 hint.** The “Smart hints” option has been removed—hints are _always_ smart
901 now, and a lot smarter than before. Finally, hints now also work in the new
902 tab page, the Add-ons Manager and the preferences page. If you want to, you
903 can read more about [the `f` commands]. \#51 #60 #176 #320 #325 #468 #471 #475
904
905 - The **`F`** command now _always_ opens tabs in new **background** tabs, while
906 **`gf`** has been added to open tabs in new **foreground** tabs. #227 #464
907
908 - **Autofocus prevention** is now **off by default.** One of VimFx’s core
909 philosophies is to be nice to your browser habits. Some find autofocus
910 prevention too big a change. Turn it on again if you like it! By the way,
911 autofocus prevention now works much more reliably and should not cause issues
912 with other extensions. #497 #541
913
914 - The **“Scroll step”** option has been **removed**. The scrolling commands that
915 used it now **work like the arrow keys instead,** and are customized just like
916 them. See [scrolling prefs] for more information.
917
918 - Speaking of scrolling, **which elements scrolls** when you use VimFx’s
919 scrolling commands **has changed.** See [scrolling commands] for more
920 information.
921
922 ##### New features
923
924 - New commands:
925
926 - `gp` pins or unpins the current tab. (Also see `g^` and `g0` mentioned
927 above.) #121
928 - `yt` duplicates the current tab. #121
929 - `0` and `^` scroll to the far left, and `$` scrolls to the far right.
930 - [`gi`] has finally been implemented. #47
931 - [Ignore mode `<s-f1>`] let you run a Normal mode command without exiting
932 Ignore mode.
933
934 - In Hints mode you can now hold ctrl and alt to change behavior of the matched
935 marker. Hold shift to temporarily make the hints see-through. See [the `f`
936 commands] for more information. #220 #421 #484
937
938 - Some commands now accept [counts]. #374
939
940 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that work inside text inputs. See the
941 [`<force>`] key for more information. #258
942
943 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that the page can override. See the
944 [`<late>`] key for more information.
945
946 - A number of [advanced options] have been added. Rather than listing everything
947 regarding them here, follow that link if you’re interested. #452 #489
948
949 - You may now, if you want to, configure VimFx through a [config file], using
950 the new [public API]. Customizing VimFx through a config file also gives extra
951 abilities, such as [site-specific options][option-overrides] and [disabling
952 certain commands on certain sites][key-overrides]. It also allows to add
953 [custom commands] \(and other extensions to extend VimFx). #158 #235 #255 #261
954 \#300 #408 #445 #490 #515
955
956 - It is now easier to customize VimFx through custom [styling]. An example is
957 changing the way hint markers look. #220 #233 #424 #432 #465
958
959 - VimFx now has [documentation] and a [wiki].
960
961 - A few new locales were added:
962
963 - fr. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r)!
964 - pt-BR. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)!
965 - sv-SE. Thanks to Andreas Lindhé (@lindhe)!
966
967 ##### Improvements
968
969 - VimFx is now multi-process/Electrolysis/e10s compatible! This means that you
970 can run VimFx on a version of Firefox with multi-process enabled without
971 issues, and that we’re future proof for the day when Firefox becomes
972 multi-process by default. Best of all, it also made VimFx more reliable in
973 non-multi-process (“regular”) Firefox. #378
974
975 - The `[` and `]` commands are now smarter, recognizing more links to the
976 previous/next page correctly. You may read more about [previous/next page
977 patterns]. #396
978
979 - The `n` and `N` commands now notify you when they wrap around the page, or the
980 phrase you searched for could not be found. #398
981
982 - _All_ shortcuts in _all modes_ can now be customized. For example, this allows
983 you to disable VimFx’s Vim-style `<enter>` behavior in the find bar. #222 #390
984 \#421
985
986 - The `p` and `P` commands are now smarter regarding whether to treat the
987 clipboard contents as a URL or a search, by working exactly like pasting in
988 the location bar. They also now read the selection clipboard, if available.
989 \#353 #382
990
991 - VimFx’s toolbar button is now properly implemented. #303 #349 #383
992
993 - Most locales were updated. Thanks to our awesome [translators]!
994
995 ##### Minor bug fixes
996
997 - VimFx now works correctly in tabs dragged to other windows. #57
998 - The `p` command is no longer broken. #494
999 - Non-ASCII shortcut keys now work properly. #433
1000 - The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog can no longer be covered by page elements.
1001 \#477
1002 - Hint markers can no longer be covered by page elements.
1003 - VimFx no longer causes scripts on icloud.com to get stuck in an infinite loop.

1029
1030 ### 0.5.17 (2015-01-23)
1031
1032 - Fixed: The hints generation no longer crashes on some pages (regression since
1033 version 0.5.15).
1034
1035 ### 0.5.16 (2015-01-22)
1036
1037 - Fixed: The toolbar button no longer throws errors. (This fix should have been
1038 in 0.5.15 but was forgotten. Luckily an AMO reviewer found it.)
1039
1040 ### 0.5.15 (2015-01-21)
1041
1042 - Improved: This version is now forwards-compatible with the upcoming version
1043 0.6.0. Downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.14 or older might cause VimFx to crash,
1044 but downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.15 is safe.
1045 - Fixed: Non-hintchars key presses in hints mode are now suppressed. They used
1046 to be passed along to the browser, which could confusingly activate site
1047 commands.
1048 - Fixed: The 'f' command now always opens links in the same tab. Links used to
1049 be able to force a new tab or window.
1050 - Fixed: Pressing 'Esc' in the location bar now restores the URL, as is the
1051 default behaviour of Firefox. You may now also close Firefox dialogs using
1052 'Esc'.
1053 - Improved: Updated the de locale. Thanks to Alexander Haeussler!
1054 - Improved: Updated the pl locale. Thanks to morethanoneanimal!
1055
1056 ### 0.5.14 (2014-08-16)
1057
1058 - Fixed: Locales should now work properly.
1059 - Improved: Updated the zh-CN locale (@mozillazg).
1060 - Improved: Updated the de locale (@Kambfhase).
1061 - Added: Japanese locale (@pluser).
1062 - Fixed: If you switched to another tab or window while an `<input>` element
1063 was focused and then switched back, the `<input>` element got blurred, while
1064 it should have stayed focused. This caused the auto-type feature of KeePassX
1065 to break.
1066
1067 ### 0.5.13 (2014-08-02)
1068
1069 - Fixed: The vote button on StackExchange sites are now markable again.
1070 - Improved: Detection of previous/next links. Should work better on gmail now.
1071 - Fixed: It is now possible to use Enter/Return in keyboard shortcuts.
1072 - Improved: The n/N commands (etc.) now work even if you didn’t open the finbar
1073 using the VimFx command (such as the default key binding ctrl+f, or by
1074 clicking a menu item).
1075 - Improved: It is now possible to blur text inputs without sending Esc to the
1076 page, which could cause dialogs etc. to annoyingly close.
1077 - Improved: Updated the el-GR locale (@sirodoht).
1078 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention sometimes made text inputs impossible to focus
1079 until you reloaded the page.
1080 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now works on more sites than before.
1081 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now prevents _all_ automatic focusing (not
1082 just when the page loads). This makes devdocs.io much easier to use.
1083 - Added: When viewing images directly and the image has been resized to fit the
1084 screen the image is now markable, allowing you to toggle zoom on it using the
1085 keyboard.
1086 - Fixed: It is no longer possible to add conflicting shortcuts (such as adding
1087 'a' when 'af' and 'as' are already present).
1088
1089 ### 0.5.12 (2014-06-01)
1090
1091 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention got stuck sometimes, making it impossible to
1092 focus inputs.
1093
1094 ### 0.5.11 (2014-06-01)
1095
1096 - Fixed: The focus search bar command was broken.
1097 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention was broken.
1098 - Fixed: The top bar on YouTube could not be accessed by VimFx.
1099 - Fixed: You can no longer add blank hotkeys.
1100 - Improved: Tab Groups are supported.
1101 - Improved: Matching of previous/next links should be more reliable.
1102 - Improved: A few minor things.
1103
1104 ### 0.5.10 (2014-05-07)
1105
1106 - Fixed yet another bug related to the default preferences
1107
1108 ### 0.5.9 (2014-05-04)
1109
1110 - Fixed a bug with default preferences not being set
1111 - Fixed gg and G to be faster
1112
1113 ### 0.5.8 (2014-04-18)
1114
1115 - AMO Preliminary Review bug fix (sorry for such long delay)
1116
1117 ### 0.5.7 (2014-03-03)
1118
1119 - Bug fix
1120

1124 - Updated pagination patterns and logic
1125
1126 ### 0.5.5 (2014-01-03)
1127
1128 - Hotfix release to address a bug that has been introduced in 0.5.4
1129
1130 ### 0.5.4 (2014-01-03)
1131
1132 - Fix for popup passthrough mode stucking

1158 - Added commands to stop loading current page and all pages: `s` and `as`
1159 - Invisible elements will not get hint markers
1160 - Compatibility with Firefox 25
1161 - Simple shortcut customization with UI in Help dialog
1162 - Use Huffman coding algorithm for hint markers generation which results in
1163 shorter links

1165 are used often
1166 - Reimplemented scrolling - now works with pages where window is not scrollable
1167 - Find disabled on non HTML documents
1168 - Find string is now global for all windows.
1169 - Fixed logic of locale discovery. Now we rely on general.useragent.locale
1170 Firefox preference for current locale
