VimFx v0.20.5
[VimFx.git] / CHANGELOG.md
1 ### 0.20.5 (2016-12-04)
2
3 - Fixed: Scrolling by holding `d`, `u`, `<space>` or `<s-space>` no longer goes
4 slower and slower (and finally grinding to a halt) on long pages with lots of
5 elements. (See also the [`scroll.repeat_timeout`] pref.)
6 - Improved: All config API functions now validate all their parameters properly.
7 This provides a better user experience, and, most importantly, prevents VimFx
8 from crashing on certain invalid input.
9
10 [`scroll.repeat_timeout`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/58deb3f7b7c470a4d705f1dabf7aa13e095e8d09/documentation/options.md#smooth-scrolling
11
12 ### 0.20.4 (2016-11-16)
13
14 - Fixed: The `n` and `N` commands now work in Firefox’s PDF viewer.
15 - Fixed: The `eb` command can now click the tab bar scroll buttons.
16 - Fixed: Elements marked by the `eb` command now correctly get hints based on
17 their area again.
18 - Improved: The `eb` command now favors the browser tabs and their close
19 buttons, giving them better hints.
20 - Improved: The hints given to the browser tabs by the `eb` command are now
21 consistent no matter how many tabs you have open. This means that the first
22 tab always gets the same hint, the second tab always get the same hint, and so
23 on.
24 - Improved: Hint markers are now placed next to the text of the element if
25 appropriate. For example, the hint marker for a button with centered text is
26 now placed just to the left of the text rather than at the left edge of
27 button. This is nice because it means that hint markers usually end up where
28 you were just reading.
29 - Improved: The positioning of hint markers has been fine-tuned by a pixel or so
30 in some cases.
31 - Improved: Custom styled checkboxes and radio buttons now get hint markers
32 faster (they are now found in the first pass rather than the second).
33 - Improved: Compatibility with the [Tab Center] add-on.
34 - Improved: Blurring the location bar is now more consistent. Previously, its
35 text wasn’t reset if the autocomplete popup was open when you pressed
36 `<escape>` to blur it.
37 - Fixed: An edge case where the wrong hint markers could be highlighted.
38
39 [Tab Center]: https://testpilot.firefox.com/experiments/tab-center/
40
41 ### 0.20.3 (2016-10-22)
42
43 - Improved: Full page scrolling now recognizes the fixed footer on medium.com.
44 - Fixed: Scrollable element can now be focused with the `f` command again (not
45 just with the `ef` command). (Regression since 0.19.0.)
46 - Fixed: `<escape>` is no longer accidentally leaked to the page when used to
47 blur text inputs. This allows blurring text inputs in modals without closing
48 the modal (which `<escape>` commonly does otherwise).
49
50 ### 0.20.2 (2016-10-16)
51
52 - Fixed: Text inputs and links inside frames can now be focused using hint
53 commands again. (Regression since 0.19.0.)
54 - Improved: Previously focused text inputs inside frames no longer steal the
55 focus when entering Caret mode in that frame.
56 - Improved: When several hint markers have the same hint (because their links
57 go to the same place), the _largest_ of those links is now chosen when
58 activating that hint. This might be noticeable via focus styling.
59 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @av2000ii!
60
61 ### 0.20.1 (2016-10-09)
62
63 - Improved: Caret mode is now a bit more robust. It can no longer make you end
64 up with [Firefox’s own Caret mode] accidentally enabled.
65 - Improved: If you try use for example `<ctrl>-j` as a keyboard shortcut, VimFx
66 will now tell you that you probably want `<c-j>` instead.
67 - Fixed: Using a keyboard shortcut to switch keyboard layout in GNOME while
68 inside a text input no longer causes the focus of that text input to be lost
69 when the Prevent autofocus option is enabled.
70 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @av2000ii!
71
72 [Firefox’s own Caret mode]: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Accessibility_features_of_Firefox#Allow_text_to_be_selected_with_the_keyboard
73
74 ### 0.20.0 (2016-10-02)
75
76 - Added: The `g[` and `g]` commands, which let you scroll to previous and next
77 scroll positions of the current page. This is similar to Vim’s jump list.
78 - Added: The `/` mark. Pressing `'/` takes you to the scroll position before the
79 last `/`, `a/` or `g/`.
80 - Fixed: Pressing `''` multiple times in a row now flips back and forth
81 between two scroll positions as expected.
82 - Fixed: Version 0.19.0 claimed to include the following improvement: “The hint
83 marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for a larger
84 element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).” However, a silly
85 mistake caused that improvement not to work. Now it does. For real.
86 - Fixed: All VimFx commands that copy text to the clipboard are now made sure to
87 also copy to the “selection clipboard” (if your system has such a thing). For
88 example, if you copy text using the `yv` command, the `p` command now uses
89 that copied text as expected.
90
91 ### 0.19.1 (2016-09-26)
92
93 - Fixed: The `'` command no longer crashes. (Regression since 0.19.0.)
94
95 ### 0.19.0 (2016-09-25)
96
97 #### Changes and improvements to Hints mode
98
99 **New feature:** Hint markers can now be filtered by element text, similar to
100 Vimium, Vimperator and Pentadactyl. This is useful for people who simply prefer
101 that workflow, and for clicking tiny pagination links (simply type its number!).
102
103 By default, filtering by element text is done by typing _uppercase_ characters
104 (hold down shift!). All characters other than the hint characters are now used
105 to filter hint markers by element text (rather than just being ignored). Do you
106 prefer filtering by element text, but dislike typing uppercase letters? Have a
107 look at how [hint characters] work to make things the other way around!
108
109 The markers with the best hint are now highlighted with a different color. You
110 may at any time press `<enter>` to activate those markers (or `<c-enter>` or
111 `<a-enter>` to change where and how to open links, just like you can hold ctrl
112 or alt for the last hint character).
113
114 Because of the above new features, the following default **Hints mode shortcuts
115 had to be changed:**
116
117 - `<space>` → `<c-space>` (`<s-space>` is left untouched)
118 - `<s->` → `<c-s->` (hold ctrl _and_ shift to peek through hint markers)
119 - `<enter>` → `<up>`
120 - `<c-enter>` → `<c-backspace>`
121
122 To make it easier to see the element text, hint markers are now nudged to the
123 left if they cover the text.
124
125 Other hint marker improvements:
126
127 - Hint markers are now 20% smaller by default. While trying to match text sizes
128 set by your operating system, they ended up a bit too large on most systems.
129 Check out the [Styling] documentation if you’d like to change the font size.
130 - Hint markers now have stronger contrast between the background color and the
131 text color, which should make them easier to read.
132 - The CSS for hint markers have been improved, making it easier to use custom
133 [Styling].
134 - When several elements have the same area, the best hint is now correctly given
135 to the _first_ of those elements. Previously, it happened to be the other way
136 around.
137 - The hint marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for
138 a larger element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).
139 - Hint markers are now better positioned when having zoomed the page in or out.
140 - Hints mode is now more robust in general. Several race conditions have been
141 fixed.

145
146 #### Other updates
147
148 - Added: The ability to **export, import and reset all** VimFx options. There
149 are three shiny new buttons for this in VimFx’s options page in the Add-ons
150 Manager!
151 - Added: The `gB` command, which lets you **quickly blacklist** (and
152 un-blacklist) sites.
153 - Added: The `ec` command, for opening the context menu of elements.
154 - Added: The `ep` command, for opening links in new private windows.
155 - Improved: `h`, `l`, `j` and `k` now feel more like scrolling with the arrow
156 keys when held down, by boosting the scrolling speed. See the
157 [`scroll.horizontal_boost` and `scroll.vertical_boost`][scroll-boost] options
158 for more information.
159 - Fixed: VimFx’s find bar integration is now much more robust. Most notably, if
160 you start typing directly after pressing `/` and Firefox is slow at opening
161 the find bar, your keypresses can no longer trigger VimFx commands or Firefox
162 built-in commands.
163 - Improved: VimFx no longer leaks keypresses to the web page in some modes. (For
164 example, counts in Caret mode).
165 - Improved: The `eb` command now finds more clickable elements in the devtools.
166 - Changed: `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` no longer lets you easily break for example
167 Hints mode, by now only being applied to Normal mode. You might need to change
168 your matchers from `(location, mode) => ...` to simply `location => ...`.
169 (Breaking API change.)
170 - Changed: The object passed to custom commands (and custom modes) no longer
171 contains a `uiEvent` property. Instead, there’s an `event` property. This
172 property can be used the same way if you check `vim.isUIEvent(event)` first.
173 (Breaking API change.)
174
175 [scroll-boost]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8bafdf0454043c1630bac8b13d13f1fb4e5ee9e7/documentation/options.md#scrollhorizontal_boost-and-scrollvertical_boost
176
177 ### 0.18.1 (2016-08-27)
178
179 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` no longer crashes on startup.
180 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` can now override the `prevent_autofocus`
181 pref again.
182
183 ### 0.18.0 (2016-08-20)
184
185 #### Changed default shortcuts
186
187 Some default keyboard shortcuts have been changed.
188
189 - Hint commands. Many of the old ones were difficult to remember, and there was
190 no space for adding new ones.
191
192 - `gf` → `et` (t as in tab)
193 - `gF` → `ew` (w as in window)
194 - `zf` → `ef` (f as in focus)
195 - `zF` → `eb` (b as in browser)
196 - `zv` → `av` (you actually select _all_ of the element’s text)
197
198 (`f`, `yf`, `af`, `v` and `yv` stay unchanged.)
199
200 There is a longer [explanation of these new defaults][hint-shortcuts] in the
201 documentation.
202
203 - `zr` → `gC`. `zr` was the only shortcut starting with `z`. This frees that key
204 up for other uses.
205
206 - `` ` `` → `'`. The `` ` `` shortcut (“scroll to mark”) as well as the `` ` ``
207 mark (“last position mark”) have both been changed to `'`. Both `` ` `` and
208 `'` are used in Vim. `'` is a better default, because it is easier to
209 type–both on an en-US QWERTY keyboard and, more importantly, on some
210 international layouts, such as the sv-SE QWERTY layout.
211
212 Note: If you miss Firefox’s default `'` shortcut to open the Quick Find bar
213 (which is now overridden), remember that VimFx provides `g/` which does the
214 same thing. (You can of course also change VimFx’s shortcuts.)
215
216 See also issue [#788].

219 [#788]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/issues/788
220
221 #### Other updates
222
223 - Added: It is now possible to create [custom hint commands].
224 - Fixed: The bottom-right corner of the page scrollbars can now be used with the
225 mouse again.
226 - Fixed: The toolbar button now correctly toggles VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts
227 dialog again.
228 - Updated locales: fr, ru. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r) and Nicholas
229 Guriev (@mymedia2)!
230
231 [custom hint commands]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/e8d9df31dd5c8df999ac22e3b3b8d548a68c6fa7/documentation/api.md#custom-hint-commands
232
233 ### 0.17.4 (2016-07-11)
234
235 - Improved: The usage of modifier keys in Hints mode is now shown in VimFx’s
236 Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog. The functionality has been there for a long
237 time, but should now be easier to find. Thanks to our awesome translators,
238 the new help text is already available in most supported locales!
239 - Improved: If you submit a form while still being inside one of its text
240 inputs, that text input is now automatically blurred. This lets you use VimFx
241 commands while waiting for the form to submit without having to press
242 `<escape>` first.
243 - Improved: The `gu` command now works better on some pages, by preserving a
244 trailing slash. Thanks to @sinkuu!
245 - Improved: VimFx now recognizes text areas in the TYPO3 CMS.
246 - Improved: The `<escape>` command and the toolbar button now let you escape
247 back to Normal mode if VimFx ever gets stuck thinking that you are typing in a
248 text input.
249
250 ### 0.17.3 (2016-06-27)
251
252 - Improved: The `zF` command can now open even more dropdown menus of buttons.
253
254 ### 0.17.2 (2016-06-19)
255
256 - Improved: The `zF` command now works with more buttons and is able to open
257 dropdown menus of buttons.
258 - Fixed: The `f` commands now recognize more file upload buttons.
259 - Fixed: Rotating hint markers now works more as expected after having entered a
260 few hint chars.
261 - Fixed: Scrolling now works in SVG documents.
262 - Fixed: Opening links in new tabs in Firefox 50.
263 - Updated locales: pt-BR and ru. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)
264 and Nicholas Guriev (@mymedia2)!
265
266 ### 0.17.1 (2016-06-12)
267
268 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer accidentally double-clicks instead of
269 single-clicking. Thanks to Alan Wu (@XrXr)!
270 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer crashes in Firefox 49+.
271 - Fixed: The “URL popup,” shown when hovering or focusing links, now appears
272 again when focusing links using `zf` (regression since 0.17.0).
273 - Updated locale: it. Thanks to Carlo Bertoldi (@cbertoldi)!
274
275 ### 0.17.0 (2016-06-08)
276
277 - Fixed: VimFx no longer scrolls smaller elements on a page instead of the
278 entire page on some sites.
279 - Improved: The `/`, `n` and `N` have been drastically sped up (when
280 [`find_from_top_of_viewport`][find_from_top_of_viewport-1] is on). Previously,
281 they appeared to freeze on some sites, but not anymore.
282 - Improved: You can no longer accidentally trigger VimFx between pressing `/`
283 and the find bar input being is focused.
284 - Improved: The `n` and `N` commands are now more robust.
285 - Improved: “Fullscreen” buttons and “Copy to clipboard” buttons can now be
286 activated the `f` command. Thanks to Alan Wu (@XrXr)!
287 - Changed: After having pressed `m` or `` ` `` VimFx no longer waits
288 indefinitely for you to press a mark key. Instead, the [timeout] option is
289 honored.
290 - Changed: After having pressed `m` or `` ` `` you can now press `<escape>` to
291 abort those commands.
292 - Changed: Find mode is no longer shown in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
293 dialog, to reduce clutter. (This can be changed through custom
294 [styling][styling-1].)
295 - Changed: The `?` command as well as the toolbar button now _toggle_ VimFx’s
296 Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (instead of always showing it, even if it was
297 already shown.)
298 - Changed: Counts are now ignored in Ignore mode. Previously, pressing number
299 keys would both send those key presses to the page _and_ contribute to the
300 count for commands (showing up in the bottom-right corner). This is no longer
301 the case.
302 - Updated locales: fr, zh-CN and zh-TW. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r),
303 @av2000ii and Robert Wang (@cyberrob)!

308
309 ### 0.16.1 (2016-05-29)
310
311 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer crashes (regression since 0.16.0).
312
313 ### 0.16.0 (2016-05-29)
314
315 - Fixed: The text input focus detection problems introduced in 0.15.1, which
316 sometimes caused VimFx commands to be triggered while typing in text inputs,
317 have been fixed.
318 - Improved: If you press `n` or `N` when there are are no matches for your
319 search, the find bar is no longer opened. Only a notification is shown. The
320 reliability of those notifications has also been improved.
321 - Improved: Hints mode now finds more links.
322 - Improved: Pressing `<c-enter>` in Hints mode now includes more elements.
323 - Updated locales: es, zh-CN. Thanks to @strel and @av2000ii!
324
325 ### 0.15.1 (2016-05-22)
326
327 - Improved: Better hints on Twitter.
328 - Improved: Compatibility with the [Evernote Web Clipper] add-on (and
329 potentially other add-ons with similar UI).
330 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!
331
332 [Evernote Web Clipper]: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/evernote-web-clipper/
333
334 ### 0.15.0 (2016-05-18)
335
336 - Improved: Hint markers now appear up to twice as fast on many pages. This is
337 done by creating the hint markers in two phases. Most are created in the
338 first, fast, phase. The rest take the same time as older VimFx versions to
339 show up.
340 - Fixed: VimFx no longer triggers commands while typing in fancy text inputs on
341 some sites, such as when composing a new tweet on Twitter. (See also the
342 [`blur_timeout`] pref.)
343 - Changed: The `<c-enter>` Hints mode command no longer _replaces_ all hint
344 markers on screen (with new ones for all elements on screen). Instead, it
345 _toggles_ your current hint markers with ones for all _other_ elements on
346 screen.
347 - Changed: There was a breaking change to the [`vimfx.setHintMatcher`] function
348 of the `frame.js` config file API. It no longer receives and returns an object
349 (of the shape `{type, semantic}`), but instead simply receives and returns the
350 `type` of the element.
351 - Improved: Some internal robustness refactoring.
352 - Updated locales: de, id, nl and zh-CN. Thanks to @just-barcodes, Yoppy
353 Halilintar (@comepradz), @HJTP, @av2000ii and @mozillazg.

357
358 ### 0.14.3 (2016-05-08)
359
360 - Fixed: Version 0.14.2 attempted to fix smooth scrolling speed in newer Firefox
361 versions. However, there was a tiny typo that caused the fix not to work. That
362 typo has been corrected.
363
364 ### 0.14.2 (2016-05-08)
365
366 - Fixed: Smooth scrolling speed is now correct again in newer Firefox versions.
367 - Fixed: The `yv` Caret mode command now only copies text that you can see on
368 screen (not any hidden text that might be on the page), making it truly work
369 like `zv` followed by `y`, as intended. This problem was very noticeable on
370 Slack. This also improves copying of 'contenteditable' elements using `yf`.
371 - Fixed: `<escape>` and arrow key handling as well as hint markers in the
372 devtools now work correctly again in newer Firefox versions.
373 - Fixed: VimFx no longer makes it impossible to open the Developer Toolbar.
374 - Improved: VimFx now ignores `<numlock>` and `<capslock>`. If your keyboard
375 sends `<numlock>` before some symbols, such as `<numlock>$` instead of just
376 `$`, shortcuts like `gx$` now work out of the box. This also means that you
377 can use `<capslock>` instead of `<shift>` when typing the `J` in `gJ`, for
378 example.
379 - Improved: Some minor cosmetic tweaks in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
380 dialog.
381
382 ### 0.14.1 (2016-04-30)
383
384 - Fixed: The Find commands (such as `/`, `n` and `N`) no longer crash on some
385 sites (regression since 0.14.0).
386
387 ### 0.14.0 (2016-04-29)
388
389 - Added: [Caret mode], which lets you copy text from web pages using the
390 keyboard.
391 - Improved: The Find commands (such as `/`, `n` and `N`) now search from the top
392 of the viewport, instead of from the top of the document, which is more
393 Vim-like and less disorienting. To read more about it (or to return to the
394 Firefox default behavior) please see the [`find_from_top_of_viewport`] pref.
395 - Improved: Compatibility with the [BackTrack Tab History] add-on.
396 - Added: The `<c-enter>` Hints mode command, which creates hint markers for
397 _all_ elements.
398 - Fixed: `__dirname` inside config files now works on Windows. Thanks to
399 Zhong Jianxin (@azuwis)!
400 - Fixed: Unnecessary full-page hint markers on some sites, such as Hackernews,
401 no longer appear.

405 [BackTrack Tab History]: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backtrack-tab-history/
406
407 ### 0.13.2 (2016-04-08)
408
409 - Improved: The “last position mark” `` ` `` now works more reliably.
410 - Improved: More video players are now recognized. Many video players lets you
411 press `<space>` while focused to toggle play/pause. VimFx tries to detect if
412 the currently focused element is a video player. If so, `<space>` is passed to
413 the video player instead of scrolling the page. (For those interested, see
414 also the [`adjustable_element_keys`] pref.)

417
418 ### 0.13.1 (2016-04-01)
419
420 - Fixed: Blacklisting of some XUL pages.
421 - Fixed: The current mode is no longer lost when a page loads. For example, if
422 you press `zF` while a page is loading, the markers no longer disappear.
423 - Fixed: Elements that you have focused using an `f` command no longer get stuck
424 appearing as if you’d put the mouse pointer.
425 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @mozillazg!
426
427 ### 0.13.0 (2016-03-19)
428
429 - Added: The `T` command, which opens a new tab after the current.
430 - Changed: The `gl` command now deals with _visited_ tabs only.
431 - Added: The [`gL`] command, which deals with <em>un</em>visited tabs only, in
432 oldest-first order. Use this to step through your unvisited background tabs in
433 the order you opened them (for example using the `F` command).
434 - Improved: The `gi` command no longer tries to focus the last focused text
435 input if it has been removed from the page. If so, it finds a new one instead.
436 - Fixed: You can now type in sidebar text inputs (such as in the history
437 sidebar) without having to switch to Ignore mode.
438 - Changed: If you enter Ignore mode you will now stay in Ignore mode in that tab
439 until you explicitly exit it (by pressing `<s-escape>`), even if you reload
440 the page or follow a link. If Ignore mode was entered automatically because of
441 the [blacklist][blacklist-2], though, you will be automatically returned to
442 Normal mode if
443 the URL changes to a non-blacklisted page.
444 - Added: VimFx can now automatically enter and exit Ignore mode based on the
445 currently focused element. Currently, the [wasavi] extension as well as
446 [CodeMirror] in Vim mode are detected. Both of those provide Vim-style
447 editors. This allows sending `<escape>` to those editors in order to exit
448 their Insert mode, without blurring the editor.
449 - Improved: CodeMirror editors now get better hints, keeping the cursor where
450 you left it.
451 - Improved: The [blacklist][blacklist-2] is now applied faster on some pages.
452 - Improved: Many audio and video elements are now recognized as “adjustable”,
453 allowing you to press for example `<space>` on them to toggle play/pause,
454 without scrolling the page.
455 - Improved: Scrolling by pages, such as using the `<space>` command, now takes
456 fixed heaears and footers into account, just like Firefox does.
457 - Fixed: Access keys now work correctly in context menus in the devtools and
458 `about:config`.
459 - Improved: The arrow keys now Just Work in the devtools, even if you have bound
460 them to VimFx commands.
461 - Changed: The public API has been removed, and turned into the Config file API.
462 If you were already using a config file, it will no longer work. You need to
463 set up a new one, but you should be able to simply copy and paste the contents
464 of the old one into the new one. Read the [config file] documentation for more
465 information.
466 - Changed: There are a few minor breaking changes to the API, though I doubt it
467 will affect anyone.
468 - If you use [`vimfx.on`], you probably need to adjust the arguments of the
469 your callbacks. They are now _always_ passed an object of data, instead of
470 sometimes passing the data directly.
471 - `match.focus` of [match object]s has been removed, and replaced by
472 `vim.focusType` of [vim object]s.
473 - Fixed: The toolbar button’s icon is now correctly sized when setting
474 `layout.css.devPixelsPerPx` to `2`. Thanks to Robert Ma (@Hexcles) and Dale
475 Whinham (@dwhinham)!
476 - Fixed: Find commands now work when the find bar was opened before the page had
477 finished loading.
478 - Improved: Lots of internal improvements. This should make VimFx faster, more
479 reliable and more responsive.
480 - All keyboard event handling (except `<late>` shortcuts) are now handled in
481 the UI process, instead of mostly in each tab’s web page content process.
482 This should make VimFx’s shortcuts more reliable and responsive.
483 - Removed all synchronous message passing (execpt for `<late>` keypresses).
484 Mozilla recommends using them only where absolutely necessary. Turns out
485 VimFx doesn’t need them anymore!
486 - The `f` commands are now more reliable. Before, they could crash on rare
487 occasions (on certain web pages), but that is less likely now.
488 - Less `MutationObserver`s are now used. This should improve performance.
489 - Less uncaught errors (especially on shutdown).
490 - Lots of minor improvements.
491 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!

501
502 ### 0.12.0 (2016-02-03)
503
504 - Improved: More clickable elements are now recognized. Most notably, elements
505 with click event listeners added by JavaScript now get hints.
506 - Improved: Autofocus prevention after using the `[` and `]` commands.
507 - Added: In VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (which can be opened by
508 pressing `?`) you can now click on any command to open VimFx’s settings page
509 in the Add-ons Manager and automatically select the text input for that
510 command, letting you edit its shortcuts. Tip: Use the `zF` command to click
511 without using the mouse.
512 - Changed: Autofocus is no longer prevented in Firefox internal pages, such as
513 `about:preferences`, `about:addons` and `about:config` (as well as other XUL
514 pages).
515 - Fixed: VimFx and the Beyond Australis extension do not conflict with each
516 other anymore.
517 - Fixed: The `gH` command no longer nags you about “No back/forward history”
518 even though there is.
519 - Added: The `gl` command now takes a [count][gl-count].
520 - Improved: Optimized CPU usage in Hints mode. (See also the [`hints_sleep`]
521 pref.)
522 - Improved: The `H` and `L` commands should now be more reliable in Firefox 43
523 and later.
524 - Changed: There was a tiny breaking change to the Public API, though I doubt it
525 will affect anyone. (See [commit 0ca807605e] if you’re especially interested.)
526 - Improved: _Several_ minor things, and some really nice internal refactoring.
527 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
528
529 [`hints_sleep`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/92b483c4a4f6da0b2c998267e0f01d3d999f93b6/documentation/options.md#hints_sleep

531 [commit 0ca807605e]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/commit/0ca807605e8d69fdc01ef9ce5d539cf66ce7d96f
532
533 ### 0.11.0 (2016-01-15)
534
535 - Fixed: The `` ` `` command is no longer broken.
536 - Fixed: Memory leak.
537 - Added: The `gl` command, which takes you to the most recent tab.
538 - Improved: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now scrollable using VimFx’s
539 scrolling commands. To allow for this, the search field is no longer
540 autofocused. Instead, press `/` to open it.
541 - Improved: Using the `f` commands, such as `f` and `zf`, now works like
542 actually moving your mouse onto the link, making hover menus and such-like
543 appear.
544 - Improved: VimFx should now work better with Google Drive Documents, Etherpad
545 and a few other fancy text editors.
546 - Improved: The `]` command now works on google.com.
547 - Improved: Checkboxes and menu items on gmail.com are now given hints by the
548 `f` command.
549 - Improved: The `gi` command now also recognizes 'contenteditable' elements.
550 - Improved: Hint markers now move along together with their elements.
551 - Fixed: Hint markers should now be correctly positioned when zooming.
552 - Fixed: The toolbar button icon should now look correctly on Retina screens.
553 - Added: You may now disable counts by using toggling the [`counts_enabled`]
554 pref.
555 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
556 - Improved: Several minor things.
557
558 [`counts_enabled`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8dae7aec9008595da31b939d5ae2d239849cf6dc/documentation/options.md#counts_enabled
559
560 ### 0.10.0 (2015-12-09)
561
562 - Added: The `zF` command, which lets you click browser elements.
563 - Improved: The scrolling commands can now scroll browser elements (in other
564 words, not only web page content), by first selecting the scollable element
565 using `zF`.
566 - Added: The `gr` command, which toggles [Reader View].
567 - Added: The `gX` command, which opens the Recently Closed Tabs menu at the
568 middle of the screen.
569 - Added: The keys you’ve typed so far of a command, as well the count, are now
570 shown in a [notification]. (You may disable this using the
571 [`notify_entered_keys`] pref.)
572 - Improved: When commands don’t do anything, they show a [notification] instead,
573 letting you know that you actually pressed the right keys. For example, if you
574 press `f` but there are no markable elements visible, a notification is shown
575 telling you so, instead of silently doing nothing.
576 - Improved: `<space>` now scrolls _about a line less_ than a full page, just
577 like Firefox does by default. `d` scroll about _half_ a line less (by
578 default), so that pressing `d` twice works like pressing `<space>` once. (See
579 the [`scroll.full_page_adjustment` and `scroll.half_page_adjustment`] prefs
580 for more information.)
581 - Improved: `gi` now only selects all text in its text input if you haven’t
582 focused a text input yet (allowing you to easily replace pre-filled text),
583 instead of _always_ doing so. Otherwise, it now puts the cursor where you left
584 off typing the last time.
585 - Fixed: The `f` commands now put the cursor where you left off typing the last
586 time when focusing a text input. Previously, they accidentally selected all
587 text in the text input (use `zf` for that behavior).
588 - Fixed: Yet a scrolling fix. VimFx’s scrolling commands should now “just work”
589 on even more sites.
590 - Fixed: AltGr should now work out of the box on Windows. (See the
591 [`ignore_ctrl_alt`] pref for more information.)
592 - Removed: The el-GR, hu and pl locales were sadly too out of date to be useful,
593 and nobody has shown interest in updating them, so they were removed.
594 - Updated locales: id, de and zh-CN. Thanks to Yoppy Halilintar, @just-barcodes
595 and @mozillazg!
596 - Fixed: Several tiny bugs.

603
604 ### 0.9.0 (2015-12-02)
605
606 - Fixed: Links with the `onclick` attribute can now be opened in new tabs again.
607 (Regression since 0.8.0.)
608 - Fixed: The text size in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now
609 correctly resized.
610 - Added: The `gH` command. It opens the back/forward button context menu in the
611 middle of the window, allowing you to choose a history entry with the arrow
612 keys and `<enter>`.
613
614 ### 0.8.0 (2015-12-01)
615
616 - Fixed: VimFx now works properly in tabs moved to other windows.
617 - Fixed: An unreliable check for multi-process mode has been eliminated, fixing
618 various problems for some users.
619 - Fixed: VimFx’s toolbar button now changes color correctly when switching
620 between blacklisted and non-blacklisted tabs.
621 - Fixed: Dead keys now work out of the box on Windows.
622 - Improved: Links with the `onclick` attribute (abused as buttons) can no longer
623 get the same hint as another link.
624 - Added: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (shown by pressing `?`) is now
625 searchable.
626 - Added: The `g/` command. It’s like `/` but searches links only.
627
628 - Added: [Marks].
629
630 - Use `ma` to mark the current scroll position and `` `a `` to return to it.
631 (You may substitute `a` with any key press.)
632 - Use ``` `` ``` to return to the position before the last `gg`, `G`, `0`,
633 `$`, `/`, `n`, `N` or `` ` ``. (You can change this mark using the
634 [`last_scroll_position_mark`] pref.)
635
636 - Added: Window commands.
637
638 - `w`: Open new window.
639 - `W`: Open new private window.
640 - `gw`: Move tab to new window.
641 - `gF`: Follow link in new window.
642
643 [Marks]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/47fc699ce8217ee90af4d12e81f102f2bea09d61/documentation/commands.md#marks-m-and-

645
646 ### 0.7.3 (2015-11-22)
647
648 - Fixed: Scrolling now works correctly in pages in quirks mode (lacking a
649 doctype), such as Hackernews.
650 - Improved: The largest scrollable element is now detected better in frames.
651 - Fixed: Hints mode now exits correctly when focusing a text input using `af`,
652 or `f` with a count.
653
654 ### 0.7.2 (2015-11-21)
655
656 - Fixed: The blinking text caret now always appears correctly when focusing text
657 inputs.
658
659 ### 0.7.1 (2015-11-21)
660
661 - Fixed: The scrolling commands should now “just work” when using non-default
662 zoom or DPI settings, most notably on Google Groups.
663
664 ### 0.7.0 (2015-11-19)
665
666 - Changed: Instead of using system notifications, which turned out to be a bit
667 too intrusive, [notifications] are now similar to the “URL popup” (shown when
668 hovering or focusing links) but are placed on the opposite side,.
669 - Changed: The “Focus next element” and “Focus previous element” commands have
670 been removed. The reason they existed was to let `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` only
671 cycle between text inputs (as opposed to _all_ focusable elements) after
672 you’ve pressed `gi`. Now, `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` are handled specially instead,
673 and _only_ after pressing `gi`. The reason for this change is that the now
674 removed commands were too intrusive, breaking user habits. One of VimFx’s main
675 goal is _not_ to do that. (You can turn the special handling of `<tab>` and
676 `<s-tab>` off using the the new [`focus_previous_key` and `focus_next_key`]
677 prefs.)
678 - Fixed: The scrolling commands should now “just work” in a lot more situations,
679 most notably on Gmail and Google Groups. More scrollable elements are also
680 recognized by the `f` and `zf` commands.
681 - Improved: The right border of hint markers for scrollable elements is now
682 styled to remind of a scroll bar, making them easier to recognize among hints
683 for links.
684 - Improved/Changed: `J` and `gJ` now allow a count on the first tab.
685 Consequently, `K` and `gK` now allow a count on the _last_ tab.
686 - Changed: `gJ` and `gK` can no longer be used to pin or unpin tabs. They now
687 only wrap around tabs of the same pinned state. Use `gp` to toggle between
688 pinned and non-pinned.
689 - Fixed: Many elements that got a hint before VimFx 0.6.0 now do again.
690 - Improved: Comment fields on Facebook can now be focused using `f` and blurred
691 using `<escape>`.
692 - Improved: VimFx’s toolbar button is no greyed out when you focus a text input.
693 This is to show that your key presses will be passed into the text input
694 rather than activating VimFx commands.
695 - Added: [`g0`, `g^` and `g$` now accept counts][tab-index-counts], allowing you
696 to go to tab number _count._
697 - Improved: `gi` now finds text inputs inside frames.
698 - Fixed: “gi mode” is now exited properly when blurring a text input.
699 - Fixed: `<select>` elements are no longer considered to be text inputs when
700 using `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` in “gi mode.”
701 - Fixed: Using `<force>` or `<late>` in a shortcut no longer applies to _every_
702 shortcut for the command, but only that shortcut.
703 - Fixed: The order of the Previous/Next page patterns is now respected. This
704 caused the wrong link to be picked by the `[` and `]` commands on some pages.

709
710 ### 0.6.2 (2015-11-11)
711
712 - Improved: If the entire page isn’t scrollable, the largest scrollable element
713 is scrolled instead.
714 - Fixed: VimFx’s keyboard shortcuts now works on slowly loading pages.
715 - Fixed: Numbers may now be used as shortcut keys (overriding counts).
716 - Fixed: The toolbar button’s icon is now correctly sized in high DPI.
717 - Fixed: Hint markers are now correctly positioned when zooming using the “Zoom
718 text only” option.
719 - Fixed: The `P` command now works with the InstantFox add-on.
720
721 ### 0.6.1 (2015-11-10)
722
723 - Fixed: If you customized the “esc” command before VimFx 0.6.0 it should now
724 work as expected.
725 - Fixed: `<tab>` now works as expected in the location bar and in the dev tools.
726 - Fixed: Light-weight themes can no longer make VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
727 dialog and hint markers unreadable.
728 - Added: The [notifications\_enabled] option.
729
730 [notifications\_enabled]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/56c4b7c514ea8b58d2cdcecf3d2654648c48ca31/documentation/options.md#notifications_enabled
731
732 ### 0.6.0 (2015-11-09)
733
734 ##### Most important (breaking) changes
735
736 - VimFx now works properly with **any keyboard layout.** Users of **multiple
737 layouts** should enable the **[ignore keyboard layout] option.** #249 #259
738
739 - Features related to disabling VimFx, and to the [toolbar button]:
740
741 - **Insert Mode** has been renamed to **_Ignore_ mode.**
742 - **[Blacklisted][blacklist] sites** now **enter Ignore mode automatically,**
743 instead of being specially handled.
744 - The feature to click the toolbar button (or press `<a-V>`) to **disable
745 VimFx** has been **removed.** Use **Ignore mode** (`i`) and the
746 **[blacklist] instead.**
747 - The **toolbar button** is now **red in Ignore mode** (which also means that
748 it is red on blacklisted sites) and green otherwise (never grey anymore).
749 - The toolbar button no longer offers to (un-)blacklist the current domain.
750 (Head into VimFx’s settings page in the Add-ons Manager and add
751 `*currentdomain.com*` to the [blacklist] option yourself instead.)
752
753 (See [commit 3552282] for more information.)
754
755 - **Some default shortcuts have changed,** mostly because they conflicted with
756 standard Firefox shortcuts: #308
757
758 - `<c-J>` → `gJ`
759
760 - `<c-K>` → `gK`
761
762 - `g^` and `gH` → `g0`
763
764 `g^` now selects the first _non pinned_ tab instead, while `g0`
765 selects the first tab regardless of whether it is pinned or not. #317
766
767 - `<c-e>` (alias for `j`) and `<c-y>` (alias for `k`) have been removed.
768
769 - `<c-f>` → `<space>` and `<c-b>` → `<s-space>`
770
771 - `vf` → `zf`
772
773 This frees up `v` for future shortcuts (instead making `z` a
774 “namespace” key, just like in Vim).
775
776 - To **exit Ignore mode:** `<escape>` → `<s-escape>`. This is because Ignore
777 mode has replaced the disable feature, as well as the special blacklist
778 state (see above). Sites are likely to use `<escape>` but not `<s-escape>`.
779 (In a way, this new role of Ignore mode also means that the old (many times
780 broken) shortcut to disable VimFx (`<a-V>`) has been replaced by `i`.) #64
781 \#375 #432
782
783 - VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now help only, and more accessible.
784 To **customize keyboard shortcuts,** go to VimFx’s settings page **in the
785 Add-ons Manager,** just like you would to customize other settings. Also,
786 **commas** between every key are **no longer needed:** Type `gJ` instead of
787 `g,J`.
788
789 - For performance reasons, **Hint markers** are now placed vertically **centered
790 instead of at the top** of the element. Don’t be surprised if you see the same
791 hint repeated several times**—links that go to the same place now get the same
792 hint.** The “Smart hints” option has been removed—hints are _always_ smart
793 now, and a lot smarter than before. Finally, hints now also work in the new
794 tab page, the Add-ons Manager and the preferences page. If you want to, you
795 can read more about [the `f` commands]. \#51 #60 #176 #320 #325 #468 #471 #475
796
797 - The **`F`** command now _always_ opens tabs in new **background** tabs, while
798 **`gf`** has been added to open tabs in new **foreground** tabs. #227 #464
799
800 - **Autofocus prevention** is now **off by default.** One of VimFx’s core
801 philosophies is to be nice to your browser habits. Some find autofocus
802 prevention too big a change. Turn it on again if you like it! By the way,
803 autofocus prevention now works much more reliably and should not cause issues
804 with other extensions. #497 #541
805
806 - The **“Scroll step”** option has been **removed**. The scrolling commands that
807 used it now **work like the arrow keys instead,** and are customized just like
808 them. See [scrolling prefs] for more information.
809
810 - Speaking of scrolling, **which elements scrolls** when you use VimFx’s
811 scrolling commands **has changed.** See [scrolling commands] for more
812 information.
813
814 ##### New features
815
816 - New commands:
817
818 - `gp` pins or unpins the current tab. (Also see `g^` and `g0` mentioned
819 above.) #121
820 - `yt` duplicates the current tab. #121
821 - `0` and `^` scroll to the far left, and `$` scrolls to the far right.
822 - [`gi`] has finally been implemented. #47
823 - [Ignore mode `<s-f1>`] let you run a Normal mode command without exiting
824 Ignore mode.
825
826 - In Hints mode you can now hold ctrl and alt to change behavior of the matched
827 marker. Hold shift to temporarily make the hints see-through. See [the `f`
828 commands] for more information. #220 #421 #484
829
830 - Some commands now accept [counts]. #374
831
832 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that work inside text inputs. See the
833 [`<force>`] key for more information. #258
834
835 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that the page can override. See the
836 [`<late>`] key for more information.
837
838 - A number of [advanced options] have been added. Rather than listing everything
839 regarding them here, follow that link if you’re interested. #452 #489
840
841 - You may now, if you want to, configure VimFx through a [config file], using
842 the new [public API]. Customizing VimFx through a config file also gives extra
843 abilities, such as [site-specific options][option-overrides] and [disabling
844 certain commands on certain sites][key-overrides]. It also allows to add
845 [custom commands] \(and other extensions to extend VimFx). #158 #235 #255 #261
846 \#300 #408 #445 #490 #515
847
848 - It is now easier to customize VimFx through custom [styling]. An example is
849 changing the way hint markers look. #220 #233 #424 #432 #465
850
851 - VimFx now has [documentation] and a [wiki].
852
853 - A few new locales were added:
854
855 - fr. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r)!
856 - pt-BR. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)!
857 - sv-SE. Thanks to Andreas Lindhé (@lindhe)!
858
859 ##### Improvements
860
861 - VimFx is now multi-process/Electrolysis/e10s compatible! This means that you
862 can run VimFx on a version of Firefox with multi-process enabled without
863 issues, and that we’re future proof for the day when Firefox becomes
864 multi-process by default. Best of all, it also made VimFx more reliable in
865 non-multi-process (“regular”) Firefox. #378
866
867 - The `[` and `]` commands are now smarter, recognizing more links to the
868 previous/next page correctly. You may read more about [previous/next page
869 patterns]. #396
870
871 - The `n` and `N` commands now notify you when they wrap around the page, or the
872 phrase you searched for could not be found. #398
873
874 - _All_ shortcuts in _all modes_ can now be customized. For example, this allows
875 you to disable VimFx’s Vim-style `<enter>` behavior in the find bar. #222 #390
876 \#421
877
878 - The `p` and `P` commands are now smarter regarding whether to treat the
879 clipboard contents as a URL or a search, by working exactly like pasting in
880 the location bar. They also now read the selection clipboard, if available.
881 \#353 #382
882
883 - VimFx’s toolbar button is now properly implemented. #303 #349 #383
884
885 - Most locales were updated. Thanks to our awesome [translators]!
886
887 ##### Minor bug fixes
888
889 - VimFx now works correctly in tabs dragged to other windows. #57
890 - The `p` command is no longer broken. #494
891 - Non-ASCII shortcut keys now work properly. #433
892 - The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog can no longer be covered by page elements.
893 \#477
894 - Hint markers can no longer be covered by page elements.
895 - VimFx no longer causes scripts on icloud.com to get stuck in an infinite loop.

921
922 ### 0.5.17 (2015-01-23)
923
924 - Fixed: The hints generation no longer crashes on some pages (regression since
925 version 0.5.15).
926
927 ### 0.5.16 (2015-01-22)
928
929 - Fixed: The toolbar button no longer throws errors. (This fix should have been
930 in 0.5.15 but was forgotten. Luckily an AMO reviewer found it.)
931
932 ### 0.5.15 (2015-01-21)
933
934 - Improved: This version is now forwards-compatible with the upcoming version
935 0.6.0. Downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.14 or older might cause VimFx to crash,
936 but downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.15 is safe.
937 - Fixed: Non-hintchars key presses in hints mode are now suppressed. They used
938 to be passed along to the browser, which could confusingly activate site
939 commands.
940 - Fixed: The 'f' command now always opens links in the same tab. Links used to
941 be able to force a new tab or window.
942 - Fixed: Pressing 'Esc' in the location bar now restores the URL, as is the
943 default behaviour of Firefox. You may now also close Firefox dialogs using
944 'Esc'.
945 - Improved: Updated the de locale. Thanks to Alexander Haeussler!
946 - Improved: Updated the pl locale. Thanks to morethanoneanimal!
947
948 ### 0.5.14 (2014-08-16)
949
950 - Fixed: Locales should now work properly.
951 - Improved: Updated the zh-CN locale (@mozillazg).
952 - Improved: Updated the de locale (@Kambfhase).
953 - Added: Japanese locale (@pluser).
954 - Fixed: If you switched to another tab or window while an `<input>` element
955 was focused and then switched back, the `<input>` element got blurred, while
956 it should have stayed focused. This caused the auto-type feature of KeePassX
957 to break.
958
959 ### 0.5.13 (2014-08-02)
960
961 - Fixed: The vote button on StackExchange sites are now markable again.
962 - Improved: Detection of previous/next links. Should work better on gmail now.
963 - Fixed: It is now possible to use Enter/Return in keyboard shortcuts.
964 - Improved: The n/N commands (etc.) now work even if you didn’t open the finbar
965 using the VimFx command (such as the default key binding ctrl+f, or by
966 clicking a menu item).
967 - Improved: It is now possible to blur text inputs without sending Esc to the
968 page, which could cause dialogs etc. to annoyingly close.
969 - Improved: Updated the el-GR locale (@sirodoht).
970 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention sometimes made text inputs impossible to focus
971 until you reloaded the page.
972 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now works on more sites than before.
973 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now prevents _all_ automatic focusing (not
974 just when the page loads). This makes devdocs.io much easier to use.
975 - Added: When viewing images directly and the image has been resized to fit the
976 screen the image is now markable, allowing you to toggle zoom on it using the
977 keyboard.
978 - Fixed: It is no longer possible to add conflicting shortcuts (such as adding
979 'a' when 'af' and 'as' are already present).
980
981 ### 0.5.12 (2014-06-01)
982
983 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention got stuck sometimes, making it impossible to
984 focus inputs.
985
986 ### 0.5.11 (2014-06-01)
987
988 - Fixed: The focus search bar command was broken.
989 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention was broken.
990 - Fixed: The top bar on YouTube could not be accessed by VimFx.
991 - Fixed: You can no longer add blank hotkeys.
992 - Improved: Tab Groups are supported.
993 - Improved: Matching of previous/next links should be more reliable.
994 - Improved: A few minor things.
995
996 ### 0.5.10 (2014-05-07)
997
