VimFx v0.20.12
[VimFx.git] / CHANGELOG.md
1 ### 0.20.12 (2018-01-23)
2
3 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 59 (if you have enabled legacy
4 extensions). Thanks to Kevin Cox (@kevincox) and 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
5 - Updated locale: es. Thanks to @strel!
6
7 ### 0.20.11 (2017-11-19)
8
9 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 58 (if you have enabled legacy
10 extensions). Thanks to 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
11
12 ### 0.20.10 (2017-03-25)
13
14 - Improved: Autofocus is now prevented when going back in history on pages that
15 use `history.pushState()` (in other words, on the 'popstate' event).
16 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!
17
18 ### 0.20.9 (2017-02-21)
19
20 - Fixed: The `yy` command now works as expected in Reader Mode.
21
22 ### 0.20.8 (2017-01-14)
23
24 - Improved: The scrolling commands now scroll the closest scrollable parent of
25 the currently focused element (if it is not scrollable itself). This is
26 noticeable for Twitter’s modals, which are often scrollable. No longer any
27 need to use the `f` or `ef` commands to scroll those modals!
28
29 ### 0.20.7 (2017-01-07)
30
31 - Improved: The `[` and `]` commands now work in Google search results.
32 - Improved: You can now show the “emoji picker” of the “like” button on Facebook
33 by using the `ef` command.
34 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @interleaved!
35
36 ### 0.20.6 (2016-12-16)
37
38 - Fixed: The `'`, `g[` and `g]` commands no longer crash. (Regression since
39 0.20.5.)
40 - Fixed: The `ef` command can now focus elements in deeply nested frames again.
41 (Regression since 0.19.0.)
42 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` and `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` are now properly
43 undone when reloading a config file (`gC`).
44 - Improved: Hint markers for elements with multiline text no longer cover the
45 text.
46 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @interleaved!
47
48 ### 0.20.5 (2016-12-04)
49
50 - Fixed: Scrolling by holding `d`, `u`, `<space>` or `<s-space>` no longer goes
51 slower and slower (and finally grinding to a halt) on long pages with lots of
52 elements. (See also the [`scroll.repeat_timeout`] pref.)
53 - Improved: All config API functions now validate all their parameters properly.
54 This provides a better user experience, and, most importantly, prevents VimFx
55 from crashing on certain invalid input.
56
57 [`scroll.repeat_timeout`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/58deb3f7b7c470a4d705f1dabf7aa13e095e8d09/documentation/options.md#smooth-scrolling
58
59 ### 0.20.4 (2016-11-16)
60
61 - Fixed: The `n` and `N` commands now work in Firefox’s PDF viewer.
62 - Fixed: The `eb` command can now click the tab bar scroll buttons.
63 - Fixed: Elements marked by the `eb` command now correctly get hints based on
64 their area again.
65 - Improved: The `eb` command now favors the browser tabs and their close
66 buttons, giving them better hints.
67 - Improved: The hints given to the browser tabs by the `eb` command are now
68 consistent no matter how many tabs you have open. This means that the first
69 tab always gets the same hint, the second tab always get the same hint, and so
70 on.
71 - Improved: Hint markers are now placed next to the text of the element if
72 appropriate. For example, the hint marker for a button with centered text is
73 now placed just to the left of the text rather than at the left edge of
74 button. This is nice because it means that hint markers usually end up where
75 you were just reading.
76 - Improved: The positioning of hint markers has been fine-tuned by a pixel or so
77 in some cases.
78 - Improved: Custom styled checkboxes and radio buttons now get hint markers
79 faster (they are now found in the first pass rather than the second).
80 - Improved: Compatibility with the [Tab Center] add-on.
81 - Improved: Blurring the location bar is now more consistent. Previously, its
82 text wasn’t reset if the autocomplete popup was open when you pressed
83 `<escape>` to blur it.
84 - Fixed: An edge case where the wrong hint markers could be highlighted.
85
86 [Tab Center]: https://testpilot.firefox.com/experiments/tab-center/
87
88 ### 0.20.3 (2016-10-22)
89
90 - Improved: Full page scrolling now recognizes the fixed footer on medium.com.
91 - Fixed: Scrollable element can now be focused with the `f` command again (not
92 just with the `ef` command). (Regression since 0.19.0.)
93 - Fixed: `<escape>` is no longer accidentally leaked to the page when used to
94 blur text inputs. This allows blurring text inputs in modals without closing
95 the modal (which `<escape>` commonly does otherwise).
96
97 ### 0.20.2 (2016-10-16)
98
99 - Fixed: Text inputs and links inside frames can now be focused using hint
100 commands again. (Regression since 0.19.0.)
101 - Improved: Previously focused text inputs inside frames no longer steal the
102 focus when entering Caret mode in that frame.
103 - Improved: When several hint markers have the same hint (because their links
104 go to the same place), the _largest_ of those links is now chosen when
105 activating that hint. This might be noticeable via focus styling.
106 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @av2000ii!
107
108 ### 0.20.1 (2016-10-09)
109
110 - Improved: Caret mode is now a bit more robust. It can no longer make you end
111 up with [Firefox’s own Caret mode] accidentally enabled.
112 - Improved: If you try use for example `<ctrl>-j` as a keyboard shortcut, VimFx
113 will now tell you that you probably want `<c-j>` instead.
114 - Fixed: Using a keyboard shortcut to switch keyboard layout in GNOME while
115 inside a text input no longer causes the focus of that text input to be lost
116 when the Prevent autofocus option is enabled.
117 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @av2000ii!
118
119 [Firefox’s own Caret mode]: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Accessibility_features_of_Firefox#Allow_text_to_be_selected_with_the_keyboard
120
121 ### 0.20.0 (2016-10-02)
122
123 - Added: The `g[` and `g]` commands, which let you scroll to previous and next
124 scroll positions of the current page. This is similar to Vim’s jump list.
125 - Added: The `/` mark. Pressing `'/` takes you to the scroll position before the
126 last `/`, `a/` or `g/`.
127 - Fixed: Pressing `''` multiple times in a row now flips back and forth
128 between two scroll positions as expected.
129 - Fixed: Version 0.19.0 claimed to include the following improvement: “The hint
130 marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for a larger
131 element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).” However, a silly
132 mistake caused that improvement not to work. Now it does. For real.
133 - Fixed: All VimFx commands that copy text to the clipboard are now made sure to
134 also copy to the “selection clipboard” (if your system has such a thing). For
135 example, if you copy text using the `yv` command, the `p` command now uses
136 that copied text as expected.
137
138 ### 0.19.1 (2016-09-26)
139
140 - Fixed: The `'` command no longer crashes. (Regression since 0.19.0.)
141
142 ### 0.19.0 (2016-09-25)
143
144 #### Changes and improvements to Hints mode
145
146 **New feature:** Hint markers can now be filtered by element text, similar to
147 Vimium, Vimperator and Pentadactyl. This is useful for people who simply prefer
148 that workflow, and for clicking tiny pagination links (simply type its number!).
149
150 By default, filtering by element text is done by typing _uppercase_ characters
151 (hold down shift!). All characters other than the hint characters are now used
152 to filter hint markers by element text (rather than just being ignored). Do you
153 prefer filtering by element text, but dislike typing uppercase letters? Have a
154 look at how [hint characters] work to make things the other way around!
155
156 The markers with the best hint are now highlighted with a different color. You
157 may at any time press `<enter>` to activate those markers (or `<c-enter>` or
158 `<a-enter>` to change where and how to open links, just like you can hold ctrl
159 or alt for the last hint character).
160
161 Because of the above new features, the following default **Hints mode shortcuts
162 had to be changed:**
163
164 - `<space>` → `<c-space>` (`<s-space>` is left untouched)
165 - `<s->` → `<c-s->` (hold ctrl _and_ shift to peek through hint markers)
166 - `<enter>` → `<up>`
167 - `<c-enter>` → `<c-backspace>`
168
169 To make it easier to see the element text, hint markers are now nudged to the
170 left if they cover the text.
171
172 Other hint marker improvements:
173
174 - Hint markers are now 20% smaller by default. While trying to match text sizes
175 set by your operating system, they ended up a bit too large on most systems.
176 Check out the [Styling] documentation if you’d like to change the font size.
177 - Hint markers now have stronger contrast between the background color and the
178 text color, which should make them easier to read.
179 - The CSS for hint markers have been improved, making it easier to use custom
180 [Styling].
181 - When several elements have the same area, the best hint is now correctly given
182 to the _first_ of those elements. Previously, it happened to be the other way
183 around.
184 - The hint marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for
185 a larger element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).
186 - Hint markers are now better positioned when having zoomed the page in or out.
187 - Hints mode is now more robust in general. Several race conditions have been
188 fixed.

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

192
193 #### Other updates
194
195 - Added: The ability to **export, import and reset all** VimFx options. There
196 are three shiny new buttons for this in VimFx’s options page in the Add-ons
197 Manager!
198 - Added: The `gB` command, which lets you **quickly blacklist** (and
199 un-blacklist) sites.
200 - Added: The `ec` command, for opening the context menu of elements.
201 - Added: The `ep` command, for opening links in new private windows.
202 - Improved: `h`, `l`, `j` and `k` now feel more like scrolling with the arrow
203 keys when held down, by boosting the scrolling speed. See the
204 [`scroll.horizontal_boost` and `scroll.vertical_boost`][scroll-boost] options
205 for more information.
206 - Fixed: VimFx’s find bar integration is now much more robust. Most notably, if
207 you start typing directly after pressing `/` and Firefox is slow at opening
208 the find bar, your keypresses can no longer trigger VimFx commands or Firefox
209 built-in commands.
210 - Improved: VimFx no longer leaks keypresses to the web page in some modes. (For
211 example, counts in Caret mode).
212 - Improved: The `eb` command now finds more clickable elements in the devtools.
213 - Changed: `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` no longer lets you easily break for example
214 Hints mode, by now only being applied to Normal mode. You might need to change
215 your matchers from `(location, mode) => ...` to simply `location => ...`.
216 (Breaking API change.)
217 - Changed: The object passed to custom commands (and custom modes) no longer
218 contains a `uiEvent` property. Instead, there’s an `event` property. This
219 property can be used the same way if you check `vim.isUIEvent(event)` first.
220 (Breaking API change.)
221
222 [scroll-boost]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8bafdf0454043c1630bac8b13d13f1fb4e5ee9e7/documentation/options.md#scrollhorizontal_boost-and-scrollvertical_boost
223
224 ### 0.18.1 (2016-08-27)
225
226 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` no longer crashes on startup.
227 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` can now override the `prevent_autofocus`
228 pref again.
229
230 ### 0.18.0 (2016-08-20)
231
232 #### Changed default shortcuts
233
234 Some default keyboard shortcuts have been changed.
235
236 - Hint commands. Many of the old ones were difficult to remember, and there was
237 no space for adding new ones.
238
239 - `gf` → `et` (t as in tab)
240 - `gF` → `ew` (w as in window)
241 - `zf` → `ef` (f as in focus)
242 - `zF` → `eb` (b as in browser)
243 - `zv` → `av` (you actually select _all_ of the element’s text)
244
245 (`f`, `yf`, `af`, `v` and `yv` stay unchanged.)
246
247 There is a longer [explanation of these new defaults][hint-shortcuts] in the
248 documentation.
249
250 - `zr` → `gC`. `zr` was the only shortcut starting with `z`. This frees that key
251 up for other uses.
252
253 - `` ` `` → `'`. The `` ` `` shortcut (“scroll to mark”) as well as the `` ` ``
254 mark (“last position mark”) have both been changed to `'`. Both `` ` `` and
255 `'` are used in Vim. `'` is a better default, because it is easier to
256 type–both on an en-US QWERTY keyboard and, more importantly, on some
257 international layouts, such as the sv-SE QWERTY layout.
258
259 Note: If you miss Firefox’s default `'` shortcut to open the Quick Find bar
260 (which is now overridden), remember that VimFx provides `g/` which does the
261 same thing. (You can of course also change VimFx’s shortcuts.)
262
263 See also issue [#788].

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

355
356 ### 0.16.1 (2016-05-29)
357
358 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer crashes (regression since 0.16.0).
359
360 ### 0.16.0 (2016-05-29)
361
362 - Fixed: The text input focus detection problems introduced in 0.15.1, which
363 sometimes caused VimFx commands to be triggered while typing in text inputs,
364 have been fixed.
365 - Improved: If you press `n` or `N` when there are are no matches for your
366 search, the find bar is no longer opened. Only a notification is shown. The
367 reliability of those notifications has also been improved.
368 - Improved: Hints mode now finds more links.
369 - Improved: Pressing `<c-enter>` in Hints mode now includes more elements.
370 - Updated locales: es, zh-CN. Thanks to @strel and @av2000ii!
371
372 ### 0.15.1 (2016-05-22)
373
374 - Improved: Better hints on Twitter.
375 - Improved: Compatibility with the [Evernote Web Clipper] add-on (and
376 potentially other add-ons with similar UI).
377 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!
378
379 [Evernote Web Clipper]: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/evernote-web-clipper/
380
381 ### 0.15.0 (2016-05-18)
382
383 - Improved: Hint markers now appear up to twice as fast on many pages. This is
384 done by creating the hint markers in two phases. Most are created in the
385 first, fast, phase. The rest take the same time as older VimFx versions to
386 show up.
387 - Fixed: VimFx no longer triggers commands while typing in fancy text inputs on
388 some sites, such as when composing a new tweet on Twitter. (See also the
389 [`blur_timeout`] pref.)
390 - Changed: The `<c-enter>` Hints mode command no longer _replaces_ all hint
391 markers on screen (with new ones for all elements on screen). Instead, it
392 _toggles_ your current hint markers with ones for all _other_ elements on
393 screen.
394 - Changed: There was a breaking change to the [`vimfx.setHintMatcher`] function
395 of the `frame.js` config file API. It no longer receives and returns an object
396 (of the shape `{type, semantic}`), but instead simply receives and returns the
397 `type` of the element.
398 - Improved: Some internal robustness refactoring.
399 - Updated locales: de, id, nl and zh-CN. Thanks to @just-barcodes, Yoppy
400 Halilintar (@comepradz), @HJTP, @av2000ii and @mozillazg.

404
405 ### 0.14.3 (2016-05-08)
406
407 - Fixed: Version 0.14.2 attempted to fix smooth scrolling speed in newer Firefox
408 versions. However, there was a tiny typo that caused the fix not to work. That
409 typo has been corrected.
410
411 ### 0.14.2 (2016-05-08)
412
413 - Fixed: Smooth scrolling speed is now correct again in newer Firefox versions.
414 - Fixed: The `yv` Caret mode command now only copies text that you can see on
415 screen (not any hidden text that might be on the page), making it truly work
416 like `zv` followed by `y`, as intended. This problem was very noticeable on
417 Slack. This also improves copying of 'contenteditable' elements using `yf`.
418 - Fixed: `<escape>` and arrow key handling as well as hint markers in the
419 devtools now work correctly again in newer Firefox versions.
420 - Fixed: VimFx no longer makes it impossible to open the Developer Toolbar.
421 - Improved: VimFx now ignores `<numlock>` and `<capslock>`. If your keyboard
422 sends `<numlock>` before some symbols, such as `<numlock>$` instead of just
423 `$`, shortcuts like `gx$` now work out of the box. This also means that you
424 can use `<capslock>` instead of `<shift>` when typing the `J` in `gJ`, for
425 example.
426 - Improved: Some minor cosmetic tweaks in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
427 dialog.
428
429 ### 0.14.1 (2016-04-30)
430
431 - Fixed: The Find commands (such as `/`, `n` and `N`) no longer crash on some
432 sites (regression since 0.14.0).
433
434 ### 0.14.0 (2016-04-29)
435
436 - Added: [Caret mode], which lets you copy text from web pages using the
437 keyboard.
438 - Improved: The Find commands (such as `/`, `n` and `N`) now search from the top
439 of the viewport, instead of from the top of the document, which is more
440 Vim-like and less disorienting. To read more about it (or to return to the
441 Firefox default behavior) please see the [`find_from_top_of_viewport`] pref.
442 - Improved: Compatibility with the [BackTrack Tab History] add-on.
443 - Added: The `<c-enter>` Hints mode command, which creates hint markers for
444 _all_ elements.
445 - Fixed: `__dirname` inside config files now works on Windows. Thanks to
446 Zhong Jianxin (@azuwis)!
447 - Fixed: Unnecessary full-page hint markers on some sites, such as Hackernews,
448 no longer appear.

453
454 ### 0.13.2 (2016-04-08)
455
456 - Improved: The “last position mark” `` ` `` now works more reliably.
457 - Improved: More video players are now recognized. Many video players lets you
458 press `<space>` while focused to toggle play/pause. VimFx tries to detect if
459 the currently focused element is a video player. If so, `<space>` is passed to
460 the video player instead of scrolling the page. (For those interested, see
461 also the [`adjustable_element_keys`] pref.)
462
463 [`adjustable_element_keys`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/645e35d7d82019b0551534c43926bc126e7105bd/documentation/options.md#adjustable_element_keys
464
465 ### 0.13.1 (2016-04-01)
466
467 - Fixed: Blacklisting of some XUL pages.
468 - Fixed: The current mode is no longer lost when a page loads. For example, if
469 you press `zF` while a page is loading, the markers no longer disappear.
470 - Fixed: Elements that you have focused using an `f` command no longer get stuck
471 appearing as if you’d put the mouse pointer.
472 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @mozillazg!
473
474 ### 0.13.0 (2016-03-19)
475
476 - Added: The `T` command, which opens a new tab after the current.
477 - Changed: The `gl` command now deals with _visited_ tabs only.
478 - Added: The [`gL`] command, which deals with <em>un</em>visited tabs only, in
479 oldest-first order. Use this to step through your unvisited background tabs in
480 the order you opened them (for example using the `F` command).
481 - Improved: The `gi` command no longer tries to focus the last focused text
482 input if it has been removed from the page. If so, it finds a new one instead.
483 - Fixed: You can now type in sidebar text inputs (such as in the history
484 sidebar) without having to switch to Ignore mode.
485 - Changed: If you enter Ignore mode you will now stay in Ignore mode in that tab
486 until you explicitly exit it (by pressing `<s-escape>`), even if you reload
487 the page or follow a link. If Ignore mode was entered automatically because of
488 the [blacklist][blacklist-2], though, you will be automatically returned to
489 Normal mode if
490 the URL changes to a non-blacklisted page.
491 - Added: VimFx can now automatically enter and exit Ignore mode based on the
492 currently focused element. Currently, the [wasavi] extension as well as
493 [CodeMirror] in Vim mode are detected. Both of those provide Vim-style
494 editors. This allows sending `<escape>` to those editors in order to exit
495 their Insert mode, without blurring the editor.
496 - Improved: CodeMirror editors now get better hints, keeping the cursor where
497 you left it.
498 - Improved: The [blacklist][blacklist-2] is now applied faster on some pages.
499 - Improved: Many audio and video elements are now recognized as “adjustable”,
500 allowing you to press for example `<space>` on them to toggle play/pause,
501 without scrolling the page.
502 - Improved: Scrolling by pages, such as using the `<space>` command, now takes
503 fixed heaears and footers into account, just like Firefox does.
504 - Fixed: Access keys now work correctly in context menus in the devtools and
505 `about:config`.
506 - Improved: The arrow keys now Just Work in the devtools, even if you have bound
507 them to VimFx commands.
508 - Changed: The public API has been removed, and turned into the Config file API.
509 If you were already using a config file, it will no longer work. You need to
510 set up a new one, but you should be able to simply copy and paste the contents
511 of the old one into the new one. Read the [config file] documentation for more
512 information.
513 - Changed: There are a few minor breaking changes to the API, though I doubt it
514 will affect anyone.
515 - If you use [`vimfx.on`], you probably need to adjust the arguments of the
516 your callbacks. They are now _always_ passed an object of data, instead of
517 sometimes passing the data directly.
518 - `match.focus` of [match object]s has been removed, and replaced by
519 `vim.focusType` of [vim object]s.
520 - Fixed: The toolbar button’s icon is now correctly sized when setting
521 `layout.css.devPixelsPerPx` to `2`. Thanks to Robert Ma (@Hexcles) and Dale
522 Whinham (@dwhinham)!
523 - Fixed: Find commands now work when the find bar was opened before the page had
524 finished loading.
525 - Improved: Lots of internal improvements. This should make VimFx faster, more
526 reliable and more responsive.
527 - All keyboard event handling (except `<late>` shortcuts) are now handled in
528 the UI process, instead of mostly in each tab’s web page content process.
529 This should make VimFx’s shortcuts more reliable and responsive.
530 - Removed all synchronous message passing (execpt for `<late>` keypresses).
531 Mozilla recommends using them only where absolutely necessary. Turns out
532 VimFx doesn’t need them anymore!
533 - The `f` commands are now more reliable. Before, they could crash on rare
534 occasions (on certain web pages), but that is less likely now.
535 - Less `MutationObserver`s are now used. This should improve performance.
536 - Less uncaught errors (especially on shutdown).
537 - Lots of minor improvements.
538 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!

548
549 ### 0.12.0 (2016-02-03)
550
551 - Improved: More clickable elements are now recognized. Most notably, elements
552 with click event listeners added by JavaScript now get hints.
553 - Improved: Autofocus prevention after using the `[` and `]` commands.
554 - Added: In VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (which can be opened by
555 pressing `?`) you can now click on any command to open VimFx’s settings page
556 in the Add-ons Manager and automatically select the text input for that
557 command, letting you edit its shortcuts. Tip: Use the `zF` command to click
558 without using the mouse.
559 - Changed: Autofocus is no longer prevented in Firefox internal pages, such as
560 `about:preferences`, `about:addons` and `about:config` (as well as other XUL
561 pages).
562 - Fixed: VimFx and the Beyond Australis extension do not conflict with each
563 other anymore.
564 - Fixed: The `gH` command no longer nags you about “No back/forward history”
565 even though there is.
566 - Added: The `gl` command now takes a [count][gl-count].
567 - Improved: Optimized CPU usage in Hints mode. (See also the [`hints_sleep`]
568 pref.)
569 - Improved: The `H` and `L` commands should now be more reliable in Firefox 43
570 and later.
571 - Changed: There was a tiny breaking change to the Public API, though I doubt it
572 will affect anyone. (See [commit 0ca807605e] if you’re especially interested.)
573 - Improved: _Several_ minor things, and some really nice internal refactoring.
574 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
575
576 [`hints_sleep`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/92b483c4a4f6da0b2c998267e0f01d3d999f93b6/documentation/options.md#hints_sleep

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

650
651 ### 0.9.0 (2015-12-02)
652
653 - Fixed: Links with the `onclick` attribute can now be opened in new tabs again.
654 (Regression since 0.8.0.)
655 - Fixed: The text size in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now
656 correctly resized.
657 - Added: The `gH` command. It opens the back/forward button context menu in the
658 middle of the window, allowing you to choose a history entry with the arrow
659 keys and `<enter>`.
660
661 ### 0.8.0 (2015-12-01)
662
663 - Fixed: VimFx now works properly in tabs moved to other windows.
664 - Fixed: An unreliable check for multi-process mode has been eliminated, fixing
665 various problems for some users.
666 - Fixed: VimFx’s toolbar button now changes color correctly when switching
667 between blacklisted and non-blacklisted tabs.
668 - Fixed: Dead keys now work out of the box on Windows.
669 - Improved: Links with the `onclick` attribute (abused as buttons) can no longer
670 get the same hint as another link.
671 - Added: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (shown by pressing `?`) is now
672 searchable.
673 - Added: The `g/` command. It’s like `/` but searches links only.
674
675 - Added: [Marks].
676
677 - Use `ma` to mark the current scroll position and `` `a `` to return to it.
678 (You may substitute `a` with any key press.)
679 - Use ``` `` ``` to return to the position before the last `gg`, `G`, `0`,
680 `$`, `/`, `n`, `N` or `` ` ``. (You can change this mark using the
681 [`last_scroll_position_mark`] pref.)
682
683 - Added: Window commands.
684
685 - `w`: Open new window.
686 - `W`: Open new private window.
687 - `gw`: Move tab to new window.
688 - `gF`: Follow link in new window.
689
690 [Marks]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/47fc699ce8217ee90af4d12e81f102f2bea09d61/documentation/commands.md#marks-m-and-

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

756
757 ### 0.6.2 (2015-11-11)
758
759 - Improved: If the entire page isn’t scrollable, the largest scrollable element
760 is scrolled instead.
761 - Fixed: VimFx’s keyboard shortcuts now works on slowly loading pages.
762 - Fixed: Numbers may now be used as shortcut keys (overriding counts).
763 - Fixed: The toolbar button’s icon is now correctly sized in high DPI.
764 - Fixed: Hint markers are now correctly positioned when zooming using the “Zoom
765 text only” option.
766 - Fixed: The `P` command now works with the InstantFox add-on.
767
768 ### 0.6.1 (2015-11-10)
769
770 - Fixed: If you customized the “esc” command before VimFx 0.6.0 it should now
771 work as expected.
772 - Fixed: `<tab>` now works as expected in the location bar and in the dev tools.
773 - Fixed: Light-weight themes can no longer make VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
774 dialog and hint markers unreadable.
775 - Added: The [notifications\_enabled] option.
776
777 [notifications\_enabled]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/56c4b7c514ea8b58d2cdcecf3d2654648c48ca31/documentation/options.md#notifications_enabled
778
779 ### 0.6.0 (2015-11-09)
780
781 ##### Most important (breaking) changes
782
783 - VimFx now works properly with **any keyboard layout.** Users of **multiple
784 layouts** should enable the **[ignore keyboard layout] option.** #249 #259
785
786 - Features related to disabling VimFx, and to the [toolbar button]:
787
788 - **Insert Mode** has been renamed to **_Ignore_ mode.**
789 - **[Blacklisted][blacklist] sites** now **enter Ignore mode automatically,**
790 instead of being specially handled.
791 - The feature to click the toolbar button (or press `<a-V>`) to **disable
792 VimFx** has been **removed.** Use **Ignore mode** (`i`) and the
793 **[blacklist] instead.**
794 - The **toolbar button** is now **red in Ignore mode** (which also means that
795 it is red on blacklisted sites) and green otherwise (never grey anymore).
796 - The toolbar button no longer offers to (un-)blacklist the current domain.
797 (Head into VimFx’s settings page in the Add-ons Manager and add
798 `*currentdomain.com*` to the [blacklist] option yourself instead.)
799
800 (See [commit 3552282] for more information.)
801
802 - **Some default shortcuts have changed,** mostly because they conflicted with
803 standard Firefox shortcuts: #308
804
805 - `<c-J>` → `gJ`
806
807 - `<c-K>` → `gK`
808
809 - `g^` and `gH` → `g0`
810
811 `g^` now selects the first _non pinned_ tab instead, while `g0`
812 selects the first tab regardless of whether it is pinned or not. #317
813
814 - `<c-e>` (alias for `j`) and `<c-y>` (alias for `k`) have been removed.
815
816 - `<c-f>` → `<space>` and `<c-b>` → `<s-space>`
817
818 - `vf` → `zf`
819
820 This frees up `v` for future shortcuts (instead making `z` a
821 “namespace” key, just like in Vim).
822
823 - To **exit Ignore mode:** `<escape>` → `<s-escape>`. This is because Ignore
824 mode has replaced the disable feature, as well as the special blacklist
825 state (see above). Sites are likely to use `<escape>` but not `<s-escape>`.
826 (In a way, this new role of Ignore mode also means that the old (many times
827 broken) shortcut to disable VimFx (`<a-V>`) has been replaced by `i`.) #64
828 \#375 #432
829
830 - VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now help only, and more accessible.
831 To **customize keyboard shortcuts,** go to VimFx’s settings page **in the
832 Add-ons Manager,** just like you would to customize other settings. Also,
833 **commas** between every key are **no longer needed:** Type `gJ` instead of
834 `g,J`.
835
836 - For performance reasons, **Hint markers** are now placed vertically **centered
837 instead of at the top** of the element. Don’t be surprised if you see the same
838 hint repeated several times**—links that go to the same place now get the same
839 hint.** The “Smart hints” option has been removed—hints are _always_ smart
840 now, and a lot smarter than before. Finally, hints now also work in the new
841 tab page, the Add-ons Manager and the preferences page. If you want to, you
842 can read more about [the `f` commands]. \#51 #60 #176 #320 #325 #468 #471 #475
843
844 - The **`F`** command now _always_ opens tabs in new **background** tabs, while
845 **`gf`** has been added to open tabs in new **foreground** tabs. #227 #464
846
847 - **Autofocus prevention** is now **off by default.** One of VimFx’s core
848 philosophies is to be nice to your browser habits. Some find autofocus
849 prevention too big a change. Turn it on again if you like it! By the way,
850 autofocus prevention now works much more reliably and should not cause issues
851 with other extensions. #497 #541
852
853 - The **“Scroll step”** option has been **removed**. The scrolling commands that
854 used it now **work like the arrow keys instead,** and are customized just like
855 them. See [scrolling prefs] for more information.
856
857 - Speaking of scrolling, **which elements scrolls** when you use VimFx’s
858 scrolling commands **has changed.** See [scrolling commands] for more
859 information.
860
861 ##### New features
862
863 - New commands:
864
865 - `gp` pins or unpins the current tab. (Also see `g^` and `g0` mentioned
866 above.) #121
867 - `yt` duplicates the current tab. #121
868 - `0` and `^` scroll to the far left, and `$` scrolls to the far right.
869 - [`gi`] has finally been implemented. #47
870 - [Ignore mode `<s-f1>`] let you run a Normal mode command without exiting
871 Ignore mode.
872
873 - In Hints mode you can now hold ctrl and alt to change behavior of the matched
874 marker. Hold shift to temporarily make the hints see-through. See [the `f`
875 commands] for more information. #220 #421 #484
876
877 - Some commands now accept [counts]. #374
878
879 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that work inside text inputs. See the
880 [`<force>`] key for more information. #258
881
882 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that the page can override. See the
883 [`<late>`] key for more information.
884
885 - A number of [advanced options] have been added. Rather than listing everything
886 regarding them here, follow that link if you’re interested. #452 #489
887
888 - You may now, if you want to, configure VimFx through a [config file], using
889 the new [public API]. Customizing VimFx through a config file also gives extra
890 abilities, such as [site-specific options][option-overrides] and [disabling
891 certain commands on certain sites][key-overrides]. It also allows to add
892 [custom commands] \(and other extensions to extend VimFx). #158 #235 #255 #261
893 \#300 #408 #445 #490 #515
894
895 - It is now easier to customize VimFx through custom [styling]. An example is
896 changing the way hint markers look. #220 #233 #424 #432 #465
897
898 - VimFx now has [documentation] and a [wiki].
899
900 - A few new locales were added:
901
902 - fr. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r)!
903 - pt-BR. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)!
904 - sv-SE. Thanks to Andreas Lindhé (@lindhe)!
905
906 ##### Improvements
907
908 - VimFx is now multi-process/Electrolysis/e10s compatible! This means that you
909 can run VimFx on a version of Firefox with multi-process enabled without
910 issues, and that we’re future proof for the day when Firefox becomes
911 multi-process by default. Best of all, it also made VimFx more reliable in
912 non-multi-process (“regular”) Firefox. #378
913
914 - The `[` and `]` commands are now smarter, recognizing more links to the
915 previous/next page correctly. You may read more about [previous/next page
916 patterns]. #396
917
918 - The `n` and `N` commands now notify you when they wrap around the page, or the
919 phrase you searched for could not be found. #398
920
921 - _All_ shortcuts in _all modes_ can now be customized. For example, this allows
922 you to disable VimFx’s Vim-style `<enter>` behavior in the find bar. #222 #390
923 \#421
924
925 - The `p` and `P` commands are now smarter regarding whether to treat the
926 clipboard contents as a URL or a search, by working exactly like pasting in
927 the location bar. They also now read the selection clipboard, if available.
928 \#353 #382
929
930 - VimFx’s toolbar button is now properly implemented. #303 #349 #383
931
932 - Most locales were updated. Thanks to our awesome [translators]!
933
934 ##### Minor bug fixes
935
936 - VimFx now works correctly in tabs dragged to other windows. #57
937 - The `p` command is no longer broken. #494
938 - Non-ASCII shortcut keys now work properly. #433
939 - The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog can no longer be covered by page elements.
940 \#477
941 - Hint markers can no longer be covered by page elements.
942 - VimFx no longer causes scripts on icloud.com to get stuck in an infinite loop.

968
969 ### 0.5.17 (2015-01-23)
970
971 - Fixed: The hints generation no longer crashes on some pages (regression since
972 version 0.5.15).
973
974 ### 0.5.16 (2015-01-22)
975
976 - Fixed: The toolbar button no longer throws errors. (This fix should have been
977 in 0.5.15 but was forgotten. Luckily an AMO reviewer found it.)
978
979 ### 0.5.15 (2015-01-21)
980
981 - Improved: This version is now forwards-compatible with the upcoming version
982 0.6.0. Downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.14 or older might cause VimFx to crash,
983 but downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.15 is safe.
984 - Fixed: Non-hintchars key presses in hints mode are now suppressed. They used
985 to be passed along to the browser, which could confusingly activate site
986 commands.
987 - Fixed: The 'f' command now always opens links in the same tab. Links used to
988 be able to force a new tab or window.
989 - Fixed: Pressing 'Esc' in the location bar now restores the URL, as is the
990 default behaviour of Firefox. You may now also close Firefox dialogs using
991 'Esc'.
992 - Improved: Updated the de locale. Thanks to Alexander Haeussler!
993 - Improved: Updated the pl locale. Thanks to morethanoneanimal!
994
995 ### 0.5.14 (2014-08-16)
996
997 - Fixed: Locales should now work properly.
998 - Improved: Updated the zh-CN locale (@mozillazg).
999 - Improved: Updated the de locale (@Kambfhase).
1000 - Added: Japanese locale (@pluser).
1001 - Fixed: If you switched to another tab or window while an `<input>` element
1002 was focused and then switched back, the `<input>` element got blurred, while
1003 it should have stayed focused. This caused the auto-type feature of KeePassX
1004 to break.
1005
1006 ### 0.5.13 (2014-08-02)
1007
1008 - Fixed: The vote button on StackExchange sites are now markable again.
1009 - Improved: Detection of previous/next links. Should work better on gmail now.
1010 - Fixed: It is now possible to use Enter/Return in keyboard shortcuts.
1011 - Improved: The n/N commands (etc.) now work even if you didn’t open the finbar
1012 using the VimFx command (such as the default key binding ctrl+f, or by
1013 clicking a menu item).
1014 - Improved: It is now possible to blur text inputs without sending Esc to the
1015 page, which could cause dialogs etc. to annoyingly close.
1016 - Improved: Updated the el-GR locale (@sirodoht).
1017 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention sometimes made text inputs impossible to focus
1018 until you reloaded the page.
1019 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now works on more sites than before.
1020 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now prevents _all_ automatic focusing (not
1021 just when the page loads). This makes devdocs.io much easier to use.
1022 - Added: When viewing images directly and the image has been resized to fit the
1023 screen the image is now markable, allowing you to toggle zoom on it using the
1024 keyboard.
1025 - Fixed: It is no longer possible to add conflicting shortcuts (such as adding
1026 'a' when 'af' and 'as' are already present).
1027
1028 ### 0.5.12 (2014-06-01)
1029
1030 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention got stuck sometimes, making it impossible to
1031 focus inputs.
1032
1033 ### 0.5.11 (2014-06-01)
1034
1035 - Fixed: The focus search bar command was broken.
1036 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention was broken.
1037 - Fixed: The top bar on YouTube could not be accessed by VimFx.
1038 - Fixed: You can no longer add blank hotkeys.
1039 - Improved: Tab Groups are supported.
1040 - Improved: Matching of previous/next links should be more reliable.
1041 - Improved: A few minor things.
1042
1043 ### 0.5.10 (2014-05-07)
1044
1045 - Fixed yet another bug related to the default preferences
1046
1047 ### 0.5.9 (2014-05-04)
1048
1049 - Fixed a bug with default preferences not being set
1050 - Fixed gg and G to be faster
1051
1052 ### 0.5.8 (2014-04-18)
1053
1054 - AMO Preliminary Review bug fix (sorry for such long delay)
1055
1056 ### 0.5.7 (2014-03-03)

1062 - Updated some translations
1063 - Updated pagination patterns and logic
1064
1065 ### 0.5.5 (2014-01-03)
1066
1067 - Hotfix release to address a bug that has been introduced in 0.5.4
1068
1069 ### 0.5.4 (2014-01-03)
1070

1100 - Simple shortcut customization with UI in Help dialog
1101 - Use Huffman coding algorithm for hint markers generation which results in
1102 shorter links

1145 - Added `o` command to focus location bar.
1146 - `p` and `P` will parse the contents of the clipboard. If the string in the
