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

205
206 #### Other updates
207
208 - Added: The ability to **export, import and reset all** VimFx options. There
209 are three shiny new buttons for this in VimFx’s options page in the Add-ons
210 Manager!
211 - Added: The `gB` command, which lets you **quickly blacklist** (and
212 un-blacklist) sites.
213 - Added: The `ec` command, for opening the context menu of elements.
214 - Added: The `ep` command, for opening links in new private windows.
215 - Improved: `h`, `l`, `j` and `k` now feel more like scrolling with the arrow
216 keys when held down, by boosting the scrolling speed. See the
217 [`scroll.horizontal_boost` and `scroll.vertical_boost`][scroll-boost] options
218 for more information.
219 - Fixed: VimFx’s find bar integration is now much more robust. Most notably, if
220 you start typing directly after pressing `/` and Firefox is slow at opening
221 the find bar, your keypresses can no longer trigger VimFx commands or Firefox
222 built-in commands.
223 - Improved: VimFx no longer leaks keypresses to the web page in some modes. (For
224 example, counts in Caret mode).
225 - Improved: The `eb` command now finds more clickable elements in the devtools.
226 - Changed: `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` no longer lets you easily break for example
227 Hints mode, by now only being applied to Normal mode. You might need to change
228 your matchers from `(location, mode) => ...` to simply `location => ...`.
229 (Breaking API change.)
230 - Changed: The object passed to custom commands (and custom modes) no longer
231 contains a `uiEvent` property. Instead, there’s an `event` property. This
232 property can be used the same way if you check `vim.isUIEvent(event)` first.
233 (Breaking API change.)
234
235 [scroll-boost]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8bafdf0454043c1630bac8b13d13f1fb4e5ee9e7/documentation/options.md#scrollhorizontal_boost-and-scrollvertical_boost
236
237 ### 0.18.1 (2016-08-27)
238
239 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` no longer crashes on startup.
240 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` can now override the `prevent_autofocus`
241 pref again.
242
243 ### 0.18.0 (2016-08-20)
244
245 #### Changed default shortcuts
246
247 Some default keyboard shortcuts have been changed.
248
249 - Hint commands. Many of the old ones were difficult to remember, and there was
250 no space for adding new ones.
251
252 - `gf` → `et` (t as in tab)
253 - `gF` → `ew` (w as in window)
254 - `zf` → `ef` (f as in focus)
255 - `zF` → `eb` (b as in browser)
256 - `zv` → `av` (you actually select _all_ of the element’s text)
257
258 (`f`, `yf`, `af`, `v` and `yv` stay unchanged.)
259
260 There is a longer [explanation of these new defaults][hint-shortcuts] in the
261 documentation.
262
263 - `zr` → `gC`. `zr` was the only shortcut starting with `z`. This frees that key
264 up for other uses.
265
266 - `` ` `` → `'`. The `` ` `` shortcut (“scroll to mark”) as well as the `` ` ``
267 mark (“last position mark”) have both been changed to `'`. Both `` ` `` and
268 `'` are used in Vim. `'` is a better default, because it is easier to
269 type–both on an en-US QWERTY keyboard and, more importantly, on some
270 international layouts, such as the sv-SE QWERTY layout.
271
272 Note: If you miss Firefox’s default `'` shortcut to open the Quick Find bar
273 (which is now overridden), remember that VimFx provides `g/` which does the
274 same thing. (You can of course also change VimFx’s shortcuts.)
275
276 See also issue [#788].

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

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

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

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

561
562 ### 0.12.0 (2016-02-03)
563
564 - Improved: More clickable elements are now recognized. Most notably, elements
565 with click event listeners added by JavaScript now get hints.
566 - Improved: Autofocus prevention after using the `[` and `]` commands.
567 - Added: In VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (which can be opened by
568 pressing `?`) you can now click on any command to open VimFx’s settings page
569 in the Add-ons Manager and automatically select the text input for that
570 command, letting you edit its shortcuts. Tip: Use the `zF` command to click
571 without using the mouse.
572 - Changed: Autofocus is no longer prevented in Firefox internal pages, such as
573 `about:preferences`, `about:addons` and `about:config` (as well as other XUL
574 pages).
575 - Fixed: VimFx and the Beyond Australis extension do not conflict with each
576 other anymore.
577 - Fixed: The `gH` command no longer nags you about “No back/forward history”
578 even though there is.
579 - Added: The `gl` command now takes a [count][gl-count].
580 - Improved: Optimized CPU usage in Hints mode. (See also the [`hints_sleep`]
581 pref.)
582 - Improved: The `H` and `L` commands should now be more reliable in Firefox 43
583 and later.
584 - Changed: There was a tiny breaking change to the Public API, though I doubt it
585 will affect anyone. (See [commit 0ca807605e] if you’re especially interested.)
586 - Improved: _Several_ minor things, and some really nice internal refactoring.
587 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
588
589 [`hints_sleep`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/92b483c4a4f6da0b2c998267e0f01d3d999f93b6/documentation/options.md#hints_sleep

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

663
664 ### 0.9.0 (2015-12-02)
665
666 - Fixed: Links with the `onclick` attribute can now be opened in new tabs again.
667 (Regression since 0.8.0.)
668 - Fixed: The text size in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now
669 correctly resized.
670 - Added: The `gH` command. It opens the back/forward button context menu in the
671 middle of the window, allowing you to choose a history entry with the arrow
672 keys and `<enter>`.
673
674 ### 0.8.0 (2015-12-01)
675
676 - Fixed: VimFx now works properly in tabs moved to other windows.
677 - Fixed: An unreliable check for multi-process mode has been eliminated, fixing
678 various problems for some users.
679 - Fixed: VimFx’s toolbar button now changes color correctly when switching
680 between blacklisted and non-blacklisted tabs.
681 - Fixed: Dead keys now work out of the box on Windows.
682 - Improved: Links with the `onclick` attribute (abused as buttons) can no longer
683 get the same hint as another link.
684 - Added: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (shown by pressing `?`) is now
685 searchable.
686 - Added: The `g/` command. It’s like `/` but searches links only.
687
688 - Added: [Marks].
689
690 - Use `ma` to mark the current scroll position and `` `a `` to return to it.
691 (You may substitute `a` with any key press.)
692 - Use ``` `` ``` to return to the position before the last `gg`, `G`, `0`,
693 `$`, `/`, `n`, `N` or `` ` ``. (You can change this mark using the
694 [`last_scroll_position_mark`] pref.)
695
696 - Added: Window commands.
697
698 - `w`: Open new window.
699 - `W`: Open new private window.
700 - `gw`: Move tab to new window.
701 - `gF`: Follow link in new window.
702
703 [Marks]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/47fc699ce8217ee90af4d12e81f102f2bea09d61/documentation/commands.md#marks-m-and-

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

769
770 ### 0.6.2 (2015-11-11)
771
772 - Improved: If the entire page isn’t scrollable, the largest scrollable element
773 is scrolled instead.
774 - Fixed: VimFx’s keyboard shortcuts now works on slowly loading pages.
775 - Fixed: Numbers may now be used as shortcut keys (overriding counts).
776 - Fixed: The toolbar button’s icon is now correctly sized in high DPI.
777 - Fixed: Hint markers are now correctly positioned when zooming using the “Zoom
778 text only” option.
779 - Fixed: The `P` command now works with the InstantFox add-on.
780
781 ### 0.6.1 (2015-11-10)
782
783 - Fixed: If you customized the “esc” command before VimFx 0.6.0 it should now
784 work as expected.
785 - Fixed: `<tab>` now works as expected in the location bar and in the dev tools.
786 - Fixed: Light-weight themes can no longer make VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
787 dialog and hint markers unreadable.
788 - Added: The [notifications\_enabled] option.
789
790 [notifications\_enabled]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/56c4b7c514ea8b58d2cdcecf3d2654648c48ca31/documentation/options.md#notifications_enabled
791
792 ### 0.6.0 (2015-11-09)
793
794 ##### Most important (breaking) changes
795
796 - VimFx now works properly with **any keyboard layout.** Users of **multiple
797 layouts** should enable the **[ignore keyboard layout] option.** #249 #259
798
799 - Features related to disabling VimFx, and to the [toolbar button]:
800
801 - **Insert Mode** has been renamed to **_Ignore_ mode.**
802 - **[Blacklisted][blacklist] sites** now **enter Ignore mode automatically,**
803 instead of being specially handled.
804 - The feature to click the toolbar button (or press `<a-V>`) to **disable
805 VimFx** has been **removed.** Use **Ignore mode** (`i`) and the
806 **[blacklist] instead.**
807 - The **toolbar button** is now **red in Ignore mode** (which also means that
808 it is red on blacklisted sites) and green otherwise (never grey anymore).
809 - The toolbar button no longer offers to (un-)blacklist the current domain.
810 (Head into VimFx’s settings page in the Add-ons Manager and add
811 `*currentdomain.com*` to the [blacklist] option yourself instead.)
812
813 (See [commit 3552282] for more information.)
814
815 - **Some default shortcuts have changed,** mostly because they conflicted with
816 standard Firefox shortcuts: #308
817
818 - `<c-J>` → `gJ`
819
820 - `<c-K>` → `gK`
821
822 - `g^` and `gH` → `g0`
823
824 `g^` now selects the first _non pinned_ tab instead, while `g0`
825 selects the first tab regardless of whether it is pinned or not. #317
826
827 - `<c-e>` (alias for `j`) and `<c-y>` (alias for `k`) have been removed.
828
829 - `<c-f>` → `<space>` and `<c-b>` → `<s-space>`
830
831 - `vf` → `zf`
832
833 This frees up `v` for future shortcuts (instead making `z` a
834 “namespace” key, just like in Vim).
835
836 - To **exit Ignore mode:** `<escape>` → `<s-escape>`. This is because Ignore
837 mode has replaced the disable feature, as well as the special blacklist
838 state (see above). Sites are likely to use `<escape>` but not `<s-escape>`.
839 (In a way, this new role of Ignore mode also means that the old (many times
840 broken) shortcut to disable VimFx (`<a-V>`) has been replaced by `i`.) #64
841 \#375 #432
842
843 - VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now help only, and more accessible.
844 To **customize keyboard shortcuts,** go to VimFx’s settings page **in the
845 Add-ons Manager,** just like you would to customize other settings. Also,
846 **commas** between every key are **no longer needed:** Type `gJ` instead of
847 `g,J`.
848
849 - For performance reasons, **Hint markers** are now placed vertically **centered
850 instead of at the top** of the element. Don’t be surprised if you see the same
851 hint repeated several times**—links that go to the same place now get the same
852 hint.** The “Smart hints” option has been removed—hints are _always_ smart
853 now, and a lot smarter than before. Finally, hints now also work in the new
854 tab page, the Add-ons Manager and the preferences page. If you want to, you
855 can read more about [the `f` commands]. \#51 #60 #176 #320 #325 #468 #471 #475
856
857 - The **`F`** command now _always_ opens tabs in new **background** tabs, while
858 **`gf`** has been added to open tabs in new **foreground** tabs. #227 #464
859
860 - **Autofocus prevention** is now **off by default.** One of VimFx’s core
861 philosophies is to be nice to your browser habits. Some find autofocus
862 prevention too big a change. Turn it on again if you like it! By the way,
863 autofocus prevention now works much more reliably and should not cause issues
864 with other extensions. #497 #541
865
866 - The **“Scroll step”** option has been **removed**. The scrolling commands that
867 used it now **work like the arrow keys instead,** and are customized just like
868 them. See [scrolling prefs] for more information.
869
870 - Speaking of scrolling, **which elements scrolls** when you use VimFx’s
871 scrolling commands **has changed.** See [scrolling commands] for more
872 information.
873
874 ##### New features
875
876 - New commands:
877
878 - `gp` pins or unpins the current tab. (Also see `g^` and `g0` mentioned
879 above.) #121
880 - `yt` duplicates the current tab. #121
881 - `0` and `^` scroll to the far left, and `$` scrolls to the far right.
882 - [`gi`] has finally been implemented. #47
883 - [Ignore mode `<s-f1>`] let you run a Normal mode command without exiting
884 Ignore mode.
885
886 - In Hints mode you can now hold ctrl and alt to change behavior of the matched
887 marker. Hold shift to temporarily make the hints see-through. See [the `f`
888 commands] for more information. #220 #421 #484
889
890 - Some commands now accept [counts]. #374
891
892 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that work inside text inputs. See the
893 [`<force>`] key for more information. #258
894
895 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that the page can override. See the
896 [`<late>`] key for more information.
897
898 - A number of [advanced options] have been added. Rather than listing everything
899 regarding them here, follow that link if you’re interested. #452 #489
900
901 - You may now, if you want to, configure VimFx through a [config file], using
902 the new [public API]. Customizing VimFx through a config file also gives extra
903 abilities, such as [site-specific options][option-overrides] and [disabling
904 certain commands on certain sites][key-overrides]. It also allows to add
905 [custom commands] \(and other extensions to extend VimFx). #158 #235 #255 #261
906 \#300 #408 #445 #490 #515
907
908 - It is now easier to customize VimFx through custom [styling]. An example is
909 changing the way hint markers look. #220 #233 #424 #432 #465
910
911 - VimFx now has [documentation] and a [wiki].
912
913 - A few new locales were added:
914
915 - fr. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r)!
916 - pt-BR. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)!
917 - sv-SE. Thanks to Andreas Lindhé (@lindhe)!
918
919 ##### Improvements
920
921 - VimFx is now multi-process/Electrolysis/e10s compatible! This means that you
922 can run VimFx on a version of Firefox with multi-process enabled without
923 issues, and that we’re future proof for the day when Firefox becomes
924 multi-process by default. Best of all, it also made VimFx more reliable in
925 non-multi-process (“regular”) Firefox. #378
926
927 - The `[` and `]` commands are now smarter, recognizing more links to the
928 previous/next page correctly. You may read more about [previous/next page
929 patterns]. #396
930
931 - The `n` and `N` commands now notify you when they wrap around the page, or the
932 phrase you searched for could not be found. #398
933
934 - _All_ shortcuts in _all modes_ can now be customized. For example, this allows
935 you to disable VimFx’s Vim-style `<enter>` behavior in the find bar. #222 #390
936 \#421
937
938 - The `p` and `P` commands are now smarter regarding whether to treat the
939 clipboard contents as a URL or a search, by working exactly like pasting in
940 the location bar. They also now read the selection clipboard, if available.
941 \#353 #382
942
943 - VimFx’s toolbar button is now properly implemented. #303 #349 #383
944
945 - Most locales were updated. Thanks to our awesome [translators]!
946
947 ##### Minor bug fixes
948
949 - VimFx now works correctly in tabs dragged to other windows. #57
950 - The `p` command is no longer broken. #494
951 - Non-ASCII shortcut keys now work properly. #433
952 - The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog can no longer be covered by page elements.
953 \#477
954 - Hint markers can no longer be covered by page elements.
955 - VimFx no longer causes scripts on icloud.com to get stuck in an infinite loop.

981
982 ### 0.5.17 (2015-01-23)
983
984 - Fixed: The hints generation no longer crashes on some pages (regression since
985 version 0.5.15).
986
987 ### 0.5.16 (2015-01-22)
988
989 - Fixed: The toolbar button no longer throws errors. (This fix should have been
990 in 0.5.15 but was forgotten. Luckily an AMO reviewer found it.)
991
992 ### 0.5.15 (2015-01-21)
993
994 - Improved: This version is now forwards-compatible with the upcoming version
995 0.6.0. Downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.14 or older might cause VimFx to crash,
996 but downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.15 is safe.
997 - Fixed: Non-hintchars key presses in hints mode are now suppressed. They used
998 to be passed along to the browser, which could confusingly activate site
999 commands.
1000 - Fixed: The 'f' command now always opens links in the same tab. Links used to
1001 be able to force a new tab or window.
1002 - Fixed: Pressing 'Esc' in the location bar now restores the URL, as is the
1003 default behaviour of Firefox. You may now also close Firefox dialogs using
1004 'Esc'.
1005 - Improved: Updated the de locale. Thanks to Alexander Haeussler!
1006 - Improved: Updated the pl locale. Thanks to morethanoneanimal!
1007
1008 ### 0.5.14 (2014-08-16)
1009
1010 - Fixed: Locales should now work properly.
1011 - Improved: Updated the zh-CN locale (@mozillazg).
1012 - Improved: Updated the de locale (@Kambfhase).
1013 - Added: Japanese locale (@pluser).
1014 - Fixed: If you switched to another tab or window while an `<input>` element
1015 was focused and then switched back, the `<input>` element got blurred, while
1016 it should have stayed focused. This caused the auto-type feature of KeePassX
1017 to break.
1018
1019 ### 0.5.13 (2014-08-02)
1020
1021 - Fixed: The vote button on StackExchange sites are now markable again.
1022 - Improved: Detection of previous/next links. Should work better on gmail now.
1023 - Fixed: It is now possible to use Enter/Return in keyboard shortcuts.
1024 - Improved: The n/N commands (etc.) now work even if you didn’t open the finbar
1025 using the VimFx command (such as the default key binding ctrl+f, or by
1026 clicking a menu item).
1027 - Improved: It is now possible to blur text inputs without sending Esc to the
1028 page, which could cause dialogs etc. to annoyingly close.
1029 - Improved: Updated the el-GR locale (@sirodoht).
1030 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention sometimes made text inputs impossible to focus
1031 until you reloaded the page.
1032 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now works on more sites than before.
1033 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now prevents _all_ automatic focusing (not
1034 just when the page loads). This makes devdocs.io much easier to use.
1035 - Added: When viewing images directly and the image has been resized to fit the
1036 screen the image is now markable, allowing you to toggle zoom on it using the
1037 keyboard.
1038 - Fixed: It is no longer possible to add conflicting shortcuts (such as adding
1039 'a' when 'af' and 'as' are already present).
1040
1041 ### 0.5.12 (2014-06-01)
1042
1043 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention got stuck sometimes, making it impossible to
1044 focus inputs.
1045
1046 ### 0.5.11 (2014-06-01)
1047
1048 - Fixed: The focus search bar command was broken.
1049 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention was broken.
1050 - Fixed: The top bar on YouTube could not be accessed by VimFx.
1051 - Fixed: You can no longer add blank hotkeys.
1052 - Improved: Tab Groups are supported.
1053 - Improved: Matching of previous/next links should be more reliable.
1054 - Improved: A few minor things.
1055
1056 ### 0.5.10 (2014-05-07)
1057
1058 - Fixed yet another bug related to the default preferences
1059
1060 ### 0.5.9 (2014-05-04)
1061
1062 - Fixed a bug with default preferences not being set
1063 - Fixed gg and G to be faster

1076 - Updated pagination patterns and logic
1077
1078 ### 0.5.5 (2014-01-03)
1079
1080 - Hotfix release to address a bug that has been introduced in 0.5.4
1081
1082 ### 0.5.4 (2014-01-03)
