128 displays an overlay.
129 - Fixed: The statusbar now works again.
130 - Fixed: VimFx should now work with Nightly 70, by removing usage of the

132
133 Thanks to Tobias Girstmair (@girst)!
134
135 ### 0.21.0 (2019-05-15)
136
137 - Removed: The Developer Toolbar integration, such as the `:` shortcut. That
138 feature has been removed from Firefox and the integration was causing issues
139 on newer Firefox versions. Thanks to Tobias Girstmair (@girst)!
140 - Fixed: VimFx should now work on Waterfox again. Tested with Waterfox 56,
141 Firefox 56, Firefox 64 and Waterfox 68. Thanks to Tobias Girstmair (@girst)
142 and @matsuhav!
143
144 ### 0.20.15 (2018-08-06)
145
146 - Fixed: Find mode now works properly again. Thanks to @matsuhav!
147
148 ### 0.20.14 (2018-05-15)
149
150 - Fixed: VimFx should now work properly in Firefox 61 (if you have enabled
151 legacy extensions) as well as older versions of Firefox. The latest few
152 versions have been a bit buggy, but things should work better now. Thanks to
153 Kevin Cox (@kevincox) and 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
154
155 ### 0.20.13 (2018-05-06)
156
157 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 61 (if you have enabled legacy
158 extensions). Thanks to Kevin Cox (@kevincox), 依云 (@lilydjwg) and Jan
159 Kokemüller (@jiixyj)!
160
161 ### 0.20.12 (2018-01-23)
162
163 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 59 (if you have enabled legacy
164 extensions). Thanks to Kevin Cox (@kevincox) and 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
165 - Updated locale: es. Thanks to @strel!
166
167 ### 0.20.11 (2017-11-19)
168
169 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 58 (if you have enabled legacy
170 extensions). Thanks to 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
171
172 ### 0.20.10 (2017-03-25)
173
174 - Improved: Autofocus is now prevented when going back in history on pages that
175 use `history.pushState()` (in other words, on the 'popstate' event).
176 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!
177
178 ### 0.20.9 (2017-02-21)
179
180 - Fixed: The `yy` command now works as expected in Reader Mode.
181
182 ### 0.20.8 (2017-01-14)
183
184 - Improved: The scrolling commands now scroll the closest scrollable parent of
185 the currently focused element (if it is not scrollable itself). This is
186 noticeable for Twitter’s modals, which are often scrollable. No longer any
187 need to use the `f` or `ef` commands to scroll those modals!
188
189 ### 0.20.7 (2017-01-07)
190
191 - Improved: The `[` and `]` commands now work in Google search results.
192 - Improved: You can now show the “emoji picker” of the “like” button on Facebook
193 by using the `ef` command.
194 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @interleaved!
195
196 ### 0.20.6 (2016-12-16)
197
198 - Fixed: The `'`, `g[` and `g]` commands no longer crash. (Regression since
199 0.20.5.)
200 - Fixed: The `ef` command can now focus elements in deeply nested frames again.
201 (Regression since 0.19.0.)
202 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` and `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` are now properly
203 undone when reloading a config file (`gC`).
204 - Improved: Hint markers for elements with multiline text no longer cover the
205 text.
206 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @interleaved!
207
208 ### 0.20.5 (2016-12-04)
209
210 - Fixed: Scrolling by holding `d`, `u`, `<space>` or `<s-space>` no longer goes
211 slower and slower (and finally grinding to a halt) on long pages with lots of
212 elements. (See also the [`scroll.repeat_timeout`] pref.)
213 - Improved: All config API functions now validate all their parameters properly.
214 This provides a better user experience, and, most importantly, prevents VimFx
215 from crashing on certain invalid input.
216
217 [`scroll.repeat_timeout`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/58deb3f7b7c470a4d705f1dabf7aa13e095e8d09/documentation/options.md#smooth-scrolling
218
219 ### 0.20.4 (2016-11-16)
220
221 - Fixed: The `n` and `N` commands now work in Firefox’s PDF viewer.
222 - Fixed: The `eb` command can now click the tab bar scroll buttons.
223 - Fixed: Elements marked by the `eb` command now correctly get hints based on
224 their area again.
225 - Improved: The `eb` command now favors the browser tabs and their close
226 buttons, giving them better hints.
227 - Improved: The hints given to the browser tabs by the `eb` command are now
228 consistent no matter how many tabs you have open. This means that the first
229 tab always gets the same hint, the second tab always get the same hint, and so
230 on.
231 - Improved: Hint markers are now placed next to the text of the element if
232 appropriate. For example, the hint marker for a button with centered text is
233 now placed just to the left of the text rather than at the left edge of
234 button. This is nice because it means that hint markers usually end up where
235 you were just reading.
236 - Improved: The positioning of hint markers has been fine-tuned by a pixel or so
237 in some cases.
238 - Improved: Custom styled checkboxes and radio buttons now get hint markers
239 faster (they are now found in the first pass rather than the second).
240 - Improved: Compatibility with the [Tab Center] add-on.
241 - Improved: Blurring the location bar is now more consistent. Previously, its
242 text wasn’t reset if the autocomplete popup was open when you pressed
243 `<escape>` to blur it.
244 - Fixed: An edge case where the wrong hint markers could be highlighted.
245
246 [Tab Center]: https://testpilot.firefox.com/experiments/tab-center/
247
248 ### 0.20.3 (2016-10-22)
249
250 - Improved: Full page scrolling now recognizes the fixed footer on medium.com.
251 - Fixed: Scrollable element can now be focused with the `f` command again (not
252 just with the `ef` command). (Regression since 0.19.0.)
253 - Fixed: `<escape>` is no longer accidentally leaked to the page when used to
254 blur text inputs. This allows blurring text inputs in modals without closing
255 the modal (which `<escape>` commonly does otherwise).
256
257 ### 0.20.2 (2016-10-16)
258
259 - Fixed: Text inputs and links inside frames can now be focused using hint
260 commands again. (Regression since 0.19.0.)
261 - Improved: Previously focused text inputs inside frames no longer steal the
262 focus when entering Caret mode in that frame.
263 - Improved: When several hint markers have the same hint (because their links
264 go to the same place), the _largest_ of those links is now chosen when
265 activating that hint. This might be noticeable via focus styling.
266 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @av2000ii!
267
268 ### 0.20.1 (2016-10-09)
269
270 - Improved: Caret mode is now a bit more robust. It can no longer make you end
271 up with [Firefox’s own Caret mode] accidentally enabled.
272 - Improved: If you try use for example `<ctrl>-j` as a keyboard shortcut, VimFx
273 will now tell you that you probably want `<c-j>` instead.
274 - Fixed: Using a keyboard shortcut to switch keyboard layout in GNOME while
275 inside a text input no longer causes the focus of that text input to be lost
276 when the Prevent autofocus option is enabled.
277 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @av2000ii!
278
279 [Firefox’s own Caret mode]: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Accessibility_features_of_Firefox#Allow_text_to_be_selected_with_the_keyboard
280
281 ### 0.20.0 (2016-10-02)
282
283 - Added: The `g[` and `g]` commands, which let you scroll to previous and next
284 scroll positions of the current page. This is similar to Vim’s jump list.
285 - Added: The `/` mark. Pressing `'/` takes you to the scroll position before the
286 last `/`, `a/` or `g/`.
287 - Fixed: Pressing `''` multiple times in a row now flips back and forth
288 between two scroll positions as expected.
289 - Fixed: Version 0.19.0 claimed to include the following improvement: “The hint
290 marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for a larger
291 element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).” However, a silly
292 mistake caused that improvement not to work. Now it does. For real.
293 - Fixed: All VimFx commands that copy text to the clipboard are now made sure to
294 also copy to the “selection clipboard” (if your system has such a thing). For
295 example, if you copy text using the `yv` command, the `p` command now uses
296 that copied text as expected.
297
298 ### 0.19.1 (2016-09-26)
299
300 - Fixed: The `'` command no longer crashes. (Regression since 0.19.0.)
301
302 ### 0.19.0 (2016-09-25)
303
304 #### Changes and improvements to Hints mode
305
306 **New feature:** Hint markers can now be filtered by element text, similar to
307 Vimium, Vimperator and Pentadactyl. This is useful for people who simply prefer
308 that workflow, and for clicking tiny pagination links (simply type its number!).
309
310 By default, filtering by element text is done by typing _uppercase_ characters
311 (hold down shift!). All characters other than the hint characters are now used
312 to filter hint markers by element text (rather than just being ignored). Do you
313 prefer filtering by element text, but dislike typing uppercase letters? Have a
314 look at how [hint characters] work to make things the other way around!
315
316 The markers with the best hint are now highlighted with a different color. You
317 may at any time press `<enter>` to activate those markers (or `<c-enter>` or
318 `<a-enter>` to change where and how to open links, just like you can hold ctrl
319 or alt for the last hint character).
320
321 Because of the above new features, the following default **Hints mode shortcuts
322 had to be changed:**
323
324 - `<space>` → `<c-space>` (`<s-space>` is left untouched)
325 - `<s->` → `<c-s->` (hold ctrl _and_ shift to peek through hint markers)
326 - `<enter>` → `<up>`
327 - `<c-enter>` → `<c-backspace>`
328
329 To make it easier to see the element text, hint markers are now nudged to the
330 left if they cover the text.
331
332 Other hint marker improvements:
333
334 - Hint markers are now 20% smaller by default. While trying to match text sizes
335 set by your operating system, they ended up a bit too large on most systems.
336 Check out the [Styling] documentation if you’d like to change the font size.
337 - Hint markers now have stronger contrast between the background color and the
338 text color, which should make them easier to read.
339 - The CSS for hint markers have been improved, making it easier to use custom
340 [Styling].
341 - When several elements have the same area, the best hint is now correctly given
342 to the _first_ of those elements. Previously, it happened to be the other way
343 around.
344 - The hint marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for
345 a larger element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).
346 - Hint markers are now better positioned when having zoomed the page in or out.
347 - Hints mode is now more robust in general. Several race conditions have been
348 fixed.

352
353 #### Other updates
354
355 - Added: The ability to **export, import and reset all** VimFx options. There
356 are three shiny new buttons for this in VimFx’s options page in the Add-ons
357 Manager!
358 - Added: The `gB` command, which lets you **quickly blacklist** (and
359 un-blacklist) sites.
360 - Added: The `ec` command, for opening the context menu of elements.
361 - Added: The `ep` command, for opening links in new private windows.
362 - Improved: `h`, `l`, `j` and `k` now feel more like scrolling with the arrow
363 keys when held down, by boosting the scrolling speed. See the
364 [`scroll.horizontal_boost` and `scroll.vertical_boost`][scroll-boost] options
365 for more information.
366 - Fixed: VimFx’s find bar integration is now much more robust. Most notably, if
367 you start typing directly after pressing `/` and Firefox is slow at opening
368 the find bar, your keypresses can no longer trigger VimFx commands or Firefox
369 built-in commands.
370 - Improved: VimFx no longer leaks keypresses to the web page in some modes. (For
371 example, counts in Caret mode).
372 - Improved: The `eb` command now finds more clickable elements in the devtools.
373 - Changed: `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` no longer lets you easily break for example
374 Hints mode, by now only being applied to Normal mode. You might need to change
375 your matchers from `(location, mode) => ...` to simply `location => ...`.
376 (Breaking API change.)
377 - Changed: The object passed to custom commands (and custom modes) no longer
378 contains a `uiEvent` property. Instead, there’s an `event` property. This
379 property can be used the same way if you check `vim.isUIEvent(event)` first.
380 (Breaking API change.)
381
382 [scroll-boost]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8bafdf0454043c1630bac8b13d13f1fb4e5ee9e7/documentation/options.md#scrollhorizontal_boost-and-scrollvertical_boost
383
384 ### 0.18.1 (2016-08-27)
385
386 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` no longer crashes on startup.
387 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` can now override the `prevent_autofocus`
388 pref again.
389
390 ### 0.18.0 (2016-08-20)
391
392 #### Changed default shortcuts
393
394 Some default keyboard shortcuts have been changed.
395
396 - Hint commands. Many of the old ones were difficult to remember, and there was
397 no space for adding new ones.
398
399 - `gf` → `et` (t as in tab)
400 - `gF` → `ew` (w as in window)
401 - `zf` → `ef` (f as in focus)
402 - `zF` → `eb` (b as in browser)
403 - `zv` → `av` (you actually select _all_ of the element’s text)
404
405 (`f`, `yf`, `af`, `v` and `yv` stay unchanged.)
406
407 There is a longer [explanation of these new defaults][hint-shortcuts] in the
408 documentation.
409
410 - `zr` → `gC`. `zr` was the only shortcut starting with `z`. This frees that key
411 up for other uses.
412
413 - `` ` `` → `'`. The `` ` `` shortcut (“scroll to mark”) as well as the `` ` ``
414 mark (“last position mark”) have both been changed to `'`. Both `` ` `` and
415 `'` are used in Vim. `'` is a better default, because it is easier to
416 type–both on an en-US QWERTY keyboard and, more importantly, on some
417 international layouts, such as the sv-SE QWERTY layout.
418
419 Note: If you miss Firefox’s default `'` shortcut to open the Quick Find bar
420 (which is now overridden), remember that VimFx provides `g/` which does the
421 same thing. (You can of course also change VimFx’s shortcuts.)
422
423 See also issue [#788].

426 [#788]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/issues/788
427
428 #### Other updates
429
430 - Added: It is now possible to create [custom hint commands].
431 - Fixed: The bottom-right corner of the page scrollbars can now be used with the
432 mouse again.
433 - Fixed: The toolbar button now correctly toggles VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts
434 dialog again.
435 - Updated locales: fr, ru. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r) and Nicholas
436 Guriev (@mymedia2)!
437
438 [custom hint commands]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/e8d9df31dd5c8df999ac22e3b3b8d548a68c6fa7/documentation/api.md#custom-hint-commands
439
440 ### 0.17.4 (2016-07-11)
441
442 - Improved: The usage of modifier keys in Hints mode is now shown in VimFx’s
443 Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog. The functionality has been there for a long
444 time, but should now be easier to find. Thanks to our awesome translators,
445 the new help text is already available in most supported locales!
446 - Improved: If you submit a form while still being inside one of its text
447 inputs, that text input is now automatically blurred. This lets you use VimFx
448 commands while waiting for the form to submit without having to press
449 `<escape>` first.
450 - Improved: The `gu` command now works better on some pages, by preserving a
451 trailing slash. Thanks to @sinkuu!
452 - Improved: VimFx now recognizes text areas in the TYPO3 CMS.
453 - Improved: The `<escape>` command and the toolbar button now let you escape
454 back to Normal mode if VimFx ever gets stuck thinking that you are typing in a
455 text input.
456
457 ### 0.17.3 (2016-06-27)
458
459 - Improved: The `zF` command can now open even more dropdown menus of buttons.
460
461 ### 0.17.2 (2016-06-19)
462
463 - Improved: The `zF` command now works with more buttons and is able to open
464 dropdown menus of buttons.
465 - Fixed: The `f` commands now recognize more file upload buttons.
466 - Fixed: Rotating hint markers now works more as expected after having entered a
467 few hint chars.
468 - Fixed: Scrolling now works in SVG documents.
469 - Fixed: Opening links in new tabs in Firefox 50.
470 - Updated locales: pt-BR and ru. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)
471 and Nicholas Guriev (@mymedia2)!
472
473 ### 0.17.1 (2016-06-12)
474
475 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer accidentally double-clicks instead of
476 single-clicking. Thanks to Alan Wu (@XrXr)!
477 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer crashes in Firefox 49+.
478 - Fixed: The “URL popup,” shown when hovering or focusing links, now appears
479 again when focusing links using `zf` (regression since 0.17.0).
480 - Updated locale: it. Thanks to Carlo Bertoldi (@cbertoldi)!
481
482 ### 0.17.0 (2016-06-08)
483
484 - Fixed: VimFx no longer scrolls smaller elements on a page instead of the
485 entire page on some sites.
486 - Improved: The `/`, `n` and `N` have been drastically sped up (when
487 [`find_from_top_of_viewport`][find_from_top_of_viewport-1] is on). Previously,
488 they appeared to freeze on some sites, but not anymore.
489 - Improved: You can no longer accidentally trigger VimFx between pressing `/`
490 and the find bar input being is focused.
491 - Improved: The `n` and `N` commands are now more robust.
492 - Improved: “Fullscreen” buttons and “Copy to clipboard” buttons can now be
493 activated the `f` command. Thanks to Alan Wu (@XrXr)!
494 - Changed: After having pressed `m` or `` ` `` VimFx no longer waits
495 indefinitely for you to press a mark key. Instead, the [timeout] option is
496 honored.
497 - Changed: After having pressed `m` or `` ` `` you can now press `<escape>` to
498 abort those commands.
499 - Changed: Find mode is no longer shown in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
500 dialog, to reduce clutter. (This can be changed through custom
501 [styling][styling-1].)
502 - Changed: The `?` command as well as the toolbar button now _toggle_ VimFx’s
503 Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (instead of always showing it, even if it was
504 already shown.)
505 - Changed: Counts are now ignored in Ignore mode. Previously, pressing number
506 keys would both send those key presses to the page _and_ contribute to the
507 count for commands (showing up in the bottom-right corner). This is no longer
508 the case.
509 - Updated locales: fr, zh-CN and zh-TW. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r),
510 @av2000ii and Robert Wang (@cyberrob)!

515
516 ### 0.16.1 (2016-05-29)
517
518 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer crashes (regression since 0.16.0).
519
520 ### 0.16.0 (2016-05-29)
521
522 - Fixed: The text input focus detection problems introduced in 0.15.1, which
523 sometimes caused VimFx commands to be triggered while typing in text inputs,
524 have been fixed.
525 - Improved: If you press `n` or `N` when there are are no matches for your
526 search, the find bar is no longer opened. Only a notification is shown. The
527 reliability of those notifications has also been improved.
528 - Improved: Hints mode now finds more links.
529 - Improved: Pressing `<c-enter>` in Hints mode now includes more elements.
530 - Updated locales: es, zh-CN. Thanks to @strel and @av2000ii!
531
532 ### 0.15.1 (2016-05-22)
533
534 - Improved: Better hints on Twitter.
535 - Improved: Compatibility with the [Evernote Web Clipper] add-on (and
536 potentially other add-ons with similar UI).
537 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!
538
539 [Evernote Web Clipper]: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/evernote-web-clipper/
540
541 ### 0.15.0 (2016-05-18)
542
543 - Improved: Hint markers now appear up to twice as fast on many pages. This is
544 done by creating the hint markers in two phases. Most are created in the
545 first, fast, phase. The rest take the same time as older VimFx versions to
546 show up.
547 - Fixed: VimFx no longer triggers commands while typing in fancy text inputs on
548 some sites, such as when composing a new tweet on Twitter. (See also the
549 [`blur_timeout`] pref.)
550 - Changed: The `<c-enter>` Hints mode command no longer _replaces_ all hint
551 markers on screen (with new ones for all elements on screen). Instead, it
552 _toggles_ your current hint markers with ones for all _other_ elements on
553 screen.
554 - Changed: There was a breaking change to the [`vimfx.setHintMatcher`] function
555 of the `frame.js` config file API. It no longer receives and returns an object
556 (of the shape `{type, semantic}`), but instead simply receives and returns the
557 `type` of the element.
558 - Improved: Some internal robustness refactoring.
559 - Updated locales: de, id, nl and zh-CN. Thanks to @just-barcodes, Yoppy
560 Halilintar (@comepradz), @HJTP, @av2000ii and @mozillazg.

564
565 ### 0.14.3 (2016-05-08)
566
567 - Fixed: Version 0.14.2 attempted to fix smooth scrolling speed in newer Firefox
568 versions. However, there was a tiny typo that caused the fix not to work. That
569 typo has been corrected.
570
571 ### 0.14.2 (2016-05-08)
572
573 - Fixed: Smooth scrolling speed is now correct again in newer Firefox versions.
574 - Fixed: The `yv` Caret mode command now only copies text that you can see on
575 screen (not any hidden text that might be on the page), making it truly work
576 like `zv` followed by `y`, as intended. This problem was very noticeable on
577 Slack. This also improves copying of 'contenteditable' elements using `yf`.
578 - Fixed: `<escape>` and arrow key handling as well as hint markers in the
579 devtools now work correctly again in newer Firefox versions.
580 - Fixed: VimFx no longer makes it impossible to open the Developer Toolbar.
581 - Improved: VimFx now ignores `<numlock>` and `<capslock>`. If your keyboard
582 sends `<numlock>` before some symbols, such as `<numlock>$` instead of just
583 `$`, shortcuts like `gx$` now work out of the box. This also means that you
584 can use `<capslock>` instead of `<shift>` when typing the `J` in `gJ`, for
585 example.
586 - Improved: Some minor cosmetic tweaks in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
587 dialog.
588
589 ### 0.14.1 (2016-04-30)
590
591 - Fixed: The Find commands (such as `/`, `n` and `N`) no longer crash on some
592 sites (regression since 0.14.0).
593
594 ### 0.14.0 (2016-04-29)
595
596 - Added: [Caret mode], which lets you copy text from web pages using the
597 keyboard.
598 - Improved: The Find commands (such as `/`, `n` and `N`) now search from the top
599 of the viewport, instead of from the top of the document, which is more
600 Vim-like and less disorienting. To read more about it (or to return to the
601 Firefox default behavior) please see the [`find_from_top_of_viewport`] pref.
602 - Improved: Compatibility with the [BackTrack Tab History] add-on.
603 - Added: The `<c-enter>` Hints mode command, which creates hint markers for
604 _all_ elements.
605 - Fixed: `__dirname` inside config files now works on Windows. Thanks to
606 Zhong Jianxin (@azuwis)!
607 - Fixed: Unnecessary full-page hint markers on some sites, such as Hackernews,
608 no longer appear.

612 [BackTrack Tab History]: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backtrack-tab-history/
613
614 ### 0.13.2 (2016-04-08)
615
616 - Improved: The “last position mark” `` ` `` now works more reliably.
617 - Improved: More video players are now recognized. Many video players lets you
618 press `<space>` while focused to toggle play/pause. VimFx tries to detect if
619 the currently focused element is a video player. If so, `<space>` is passed to
620 the video player instead of scrolling the page. (For those interested, see
621 also the [`adjustable_element_keys`] pref.)
622
623 [`adjustable_element_keys`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/645e35d7d82019b0551534c43926bc126e7105bd/documentation/options.md#adjustable_element_keys
624
625 ### 0.13.1 (2016-04-01)
626
627 - Fixed: Blacklisting of some XUL pages.
628 - Fixed: The current mode is no longer lost when a page loads. For example, if
629 you press `zF` while a page is loading, the markers no longer disappear.
630 - Fixed: Elements that you have focused using an `f` command no longer get stuck
631 appearing as if you’d put the mouse pointer.
632 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @mozillazg!
633
634 ### 0.13.0 (2016-03-19)
635
636 - Added: The `T` command, which opens a new tab after the current.
637 - Changed: The `gl` command now deals with _visited_ tabs only.
638 - Added: The [`gL`] command, which deals with <em>un</em>visited tabs only, in
639 oldest-first order. Use this to step through your unvisited background tabs in
640 the order you opened them (for example using the `F` command).
641 - Improved: The `gi` command no longer tries to focus the last focused text
642 input if it has been removed from the page. If so, it finds a new one instead.
643 - Fixed: You can now type in sidebar text inputs (such as in the history
644 sidebar) without having to switch to Ignore mode.
645 - Changed: If you enter Ignore mode you will now stay in Ignore mode in that tab
646 until you explicitly exit it (by pressing `<s-escape>`), even if you reload
647 the page or follow a link. If Ignore mode was entered automatically because of
648 the [blacklist][blacklist-2], though, you will be automatically returned to
649 Normal mode if
650 the URL changes to a non-blacklisted page.
651 - Added: VimFx can now automatically enter and exit Ignore mode based on the
652 currently focused element. Currently, the [wasavi] extension as well as
653 [CodeMirror] in Vim mode are detected. Both of those provide Vim-style
654 editors. This allows sending `<escape>` to those editors in order to exit
655 their Insert mode, without blurring the editor.
656 - Improved: CodeMirror editors now get better hints, keeping the cursor where
657 you left it.
658 - Improved: The [blacklist][blacklist-2] is now applied faster on some pages.
659 - Improved: Many audio and video elements are now recognized as “adjustable”,
660 allowing you to press for example `<space>` on them to toggle play/pause,
661 without scrolling the page.
662 - Improved: Scrolling by pages, such as using the `<space>` command, now takes
663 fixed heaears and footers into account, just like Firefox does.
664 - Fixed: Access keys now work correctly in context menus in the devtools and
665 `about:config`.
666 - Improved: The arrow keys now Just Work in the devtools, even if you have bound
667 them to VimFx commands.
668 - Changed: The public API has been removed, and turned into the Config file API.
669 If you were already using a config file, it will no longer work. You need to
670 set up a new one, but you should be able to simply copy and paste the contents
671 of the old one into the new one. Read the [config file] documentation for more
672 information.
673 - Changed: There are a few minor breaking changes to the API, though I doubt it
674 will affect anyone.
675 - If you use [`vimfx.on`], you probably need to adjust the arguments of the
676 your callbacks. They are now _always_ passed an object of data, instead of
677 sometimes passing the data directly.
678 - `match.focus` of [match object]s has been removed, and replaced by
679 `vim.focusType` of [vim object]s.
680 - Fixed: The toolbar button’s icon is now correctly sized when setting
681 `layout.css.devPixelsPerPx` to `2`. Thanks to Robert Ma (@Hexcles) and Dale
682 Whinham (@dwhinham)!
683 - Fixed: Find commands now work when the find bar was opened before the page had
684 finished loading.
685 - Improved: Lots of internal improvements. This should make VimFx faster, more
686 reliable and more responsive.
687 - All keyboard event handling (except `<late>` shortcuts) are now handled in
688 the UI process, instead of mostly in each tab’s web page content process.
689 This should make VimFx’s shortcuts more reliable and responsive.
690 - Removed all synchronous message passing (execpt for `<late>` keypresses).
691 Mozilla recommends using them only where absolutely necessary. Turns out
692 VimFx doesn’t need them anymore!
693 - The `f` commands are now more reliable. Before, they could crash on rare
694 occasions (on certain web pages), but that is less likely now.
695 - Less `MutationObserver`s are now used. This should improve performance.
696 - Less uncaught errors (especially on shutdown).
697 - Lots of minor improvements.
698 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!

708
709 ### 0.12.0 (2016-02-03)
710
711 - Improved: More clickable elements are now recognized. Most notably, elements
712 with click event listeners added by JavaScript now get hints.
713 - Improved: Autofocus prevention after using the `[` and `]` commands.
714 - Added: In VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (which can be opened by
715 pressing `?`) you can now click on any command to open VimFx’s settings page
716 in the Add-ons Manager and automatically select the text input for that
717 command, letting you edit its shortcuts. Tip: Use the `zF` command to click
718 without using the mouse.
719 - Changed: Autofocus is no longer prevented in Firefox internal pages, such as
720 `about:preferences`, `about:addons` and `about:config` (as well as other XUL
721 pages).
722 - Fixed: VimFx and the Beyond Australis extension do not conflict with each
723 other anymore.
724 - Fixed: The `gH` command no longer nags you about “No back/forward history”
725 even though there is.
726 - Added: The `gl` command now takes a [count][gl-count].
727 - Improved: Optimized CPU usage in Hints mode. (See also the [`hints_sleep`]
728 pref.)
729 - Improved: The `H` and `L` commands should now be more reliable in Firefox 43
730 and later.
731 - Changed: There was a tiny breaking change to the Public API, though I doubt it
732 will affect anyone. (See [commit 0ca807605e] if you’re especially interested.)
733 - Improved: _Several_ minor things, and some really nice internal refactoring.
734 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
735
736 [`hints_sleep`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/92b483c4a4f6da0b2c998267e0f01d3d999f93b6/documentation/options.md#hints_sleep

739
740 ### 0.11.0 (2016-01-15)
741
742 - Fixed: The `` ` `` command is no longer broken.
743 - Fixed: Memory leak.
744 - Added: The `gl` command, which takes you to the most recent tab.
745 - Improved: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now scrollable using VimFx’s
746 scrolling commands. To allow for this, the search field is no longer
747 autofocused. Instead, press `/` to open it.
748 - Improved: Using the `f` commands, such as `f` and `zf`, now works like
749 actually moving your mouse onto the link, making hover menus and such-like
750 appear.
751 - Improved: VimFx should now work better with Google Drive Documents, Etherpad
752 and a few other fancy text editors.
753 - Improved: The `]` command now works on google.com.
754 - Improved: Checkboxes and menu items on gmail.com are now given hints by the
755 `f` command.
756 - Improved: The `gi` command now also recognizes 'contenteditable' elements.
757 - Improved: Hint markers now move along together with their elements.
758 - Fixed: Hint markers should now be correctly positioned when zooming.
759 - Fixed: The toolbar button icon should now look correctly on Retina screens.
760 - Added: You may now disable counts by using toggling the [`counts_enabled`]
761 pref.
762 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
763 - Improved: Several minor things.
764
765 [`counts_enabled`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8dae7aec9008595da31b939d5ae2d239849cf6dc/documentation/options.md#counts_enabled
766
767 ### 0.10.0 (2015-12-09)
768
769 - Added: The `zF` command, which lets you click browser elements.
770 - Improved: The scrolling commands can now scroll browser elements (in other
771 words, not only web page content), by first selecting the scollable element
772 using `zF`.
773 - Added: The `gr` command, which toggles [Reader View].
774 - Added: The `gX` command, which opens the Recently Closed Tabs menu at the
775 middle of the screen.
776 - Added: The keys you’ve typed so far of a command, as well the count, are now
777 shown in a [notification]. (You may disable this using the
778 [`notify_entered_keys`] pref.)
779 - Improved: When commands don’t do anything, they show a [notification] instead,
780 letting you know that you actually pressed the right keys. For example, if you
781 press `f` but there are no markable elements visible, a notification is shown
782 telling you so, instead of silently doing nothing.
783 - Improved: `<space>` now scrolls _about a line less_ than a full page, just
784 like Firefox does by default. `d` scroll about _half_ a line less (by
785 default), so that pressing `d` twice works like pressing `<space>` once. (See
786 the [`scroll.full_page_adjustment` and `scroll.half_page_adjustment`] prefs
787 for more information.)
788 - Improved: `gi` now only selects all text in its text input if you haven’t
789 focused a text input yet (allowing you to easily replace pre-filled text),
790 instead of _always_ doing so. Otherwise, it now puts the cursor where you left
791 off typing the last time.
792 - Fixed: The `f` commands now put the cursor where you left off typing the last
793 time when focusing a text input. Previously, they accidentally selected all
794 text in the text input (use `zf` for that behavior).
795 - Fixed: Yet a scrolling fix. VimFx’s scrolling commands should now “just work”
796 on even more sites.
797 - Fixed: AltGr should now work out of the box on Windows. (See the
798 [`ignore_ctrl_alt`] pref for more information.)
799 - Removed: The el-GR, hu and pl locales were sadly too out of date to be useful,
800 and nobody has shown interest in updating them, so they were removed.
801 - Updated locales: id, de and zh-CN. Thanks to Yoppy Halilintar, @just-barcodes
802 and @mozillazg!
803 - Fixed: Several tiny bugs.

810
811 ### 0.9.0 (2015-12-02)
812
813 - Fixed: Links with the `onclick` attribute can now be opened in new tabs again.
814 (Regression since 0.8.0.)
815 - Fixed: The text size in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now
816 correctly resized.
817 - Added: The `gH` command. It opens the back/forward button context menu in the
818 middle of the window, allowing you to choose a history entry with the arrow
819 keys and `<enter>`.
820
821 ### 0.8.0 (2015-12-01)
822
823 - Fixed: VimFx now works properly in tabs moved to other windows.
824 - Fixed: An unreliable check for multi-process mode has been eliminated, fixing
825 various problems for some users.
826 - Fixed: VimFx’s toolbar button now changes color correctly when switching
827 between blacklisted and non-blacklisted tabs.
828 - Fixed: Dead keys now work out of the box on Windows.
829 - Improved: Links with the `onclick` attribute (abused as buttons) can no longer
830 get the same hint as another link.
831 - Added: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (shown by pressing `?`) is now
832 searchable.
833 - Added: The `g/` command. It’s like `/` but searches links only.
834
835 - Added: [Marks].
836
837 - Use `ma` to mark the current scroll position and `` `a `` to return to it.
838 (You may substitute `a` with any key press.)
839 - Use ``` `` ``` to return to the position before the last `gg`, `G`, `0`,
840 `$`, `/`, `n`, `N` or `` ` ``. (You can change this mark using the
841 [`last_scroll_position_mark`] pref.)
842
843 - Added: Window commands.
844
845 - `w`: Open new window.
846 - `W`: Open new private window.
847 - `gw`: Move tab to new window.
848 - `gF`: Follow link in new window.

852
853 ### 0.7.3 (2015-11-22)
854
855 - Fixed: Scrolling now works correctly in pages in quirks mode (lacking a
856 doctype), such as Hackernews.
857 - Improved: The largest scrollable element is now detected better in frames.
858 - Fixed: Hints mode now exits correctly when focusing a text input using `af`,
859 or `f` with a count.
860
861 ### 0.7.2 (2015-11-21)
862
863 - Fixed: The blinking text caret now always appears correctly when focusing text
864 inputs.
865
866 ### 0.7.1 (2015-11-21)
867
868 - Fixed: The scrolling commands should now “just work” when using non-default
869 zoom or DPI settings, most notably on Google Groups.
870
871 ### 0.7.0 (2015-11-19)
872
873 - Changed: Instead of using system notifications, which turned out to be a bit
874 too intrusive, [notifications] are now similar to the “URL popup” (shown when
875 hovering or focusing links) but are placed on the opposite side,.
876 - Changed: The “Focus next element” and “Focus previous element” commands have
877 been removed. The reason they existed was to let `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` only
878 cycle between text inputs (as opposed to _all_ focusable elements) after
879 you’ve pressed `gi`. Now, `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` are handled specially instead,
880 and _only_ after pressing `gi`. The reason for this change is that the now
881 removed commands were too intrusive, breaking user habits. One of VimFx’s main
882 goal is _not_ to do that. (You can turn the special handling of `<tab>` and
883 `<s-tab>` off using the the new [`focus_previous_key` and `focus_next_key`]
884 prefs.)
885 - Fixed: The scrolling commands should now “just work” in a lot more situations,
886 most notably on Gmail and Google Groups. More scrollable elements are also
887 recognized by the `f` and `zf` commands.
888 - Improved: The right border of hint markers for scrollable elements is now
889 styled to remind of a scroll bar, making them easier to recognize among hints
890 for links.
891 - Improved/Changed: `J` and `gJ` now allow a count on the first tab.
892 Consequently, `K` and `gK` now allow a count on the _last_ tab.
893 - Changed: `gJ` and `gK` can no longer be used to pin or unpin tabs. They now
894 only wrap around tabs of the same pinned state. Use `gp` to toggle between
895 pinned and non-pinned.
896 - Fixed: Many elements that got a hint before VimFx 0.6.0 now do again.
897 - Improved: Comment fields on Facebook can now be focused using `f` and blurred
898 using `<escape>`.
899 - Improved: VimFx’s toolbar button is no greyed out when you focus a text input.
900 This is to show that your key presses will be passed into the text input
901 rather than activating VimFx commands.
902 - Added: [`g0`, `g^` and `g$` now accept counts][tab-index-counts], allowing you
903 to go to tab number _count._
904 - Improved: `gi` now finds text inputs inside frames.
905 - Fixed: “gi mode” is now exited properly when blurring a text input.
906 - Fixed: `<select>` elements are no longer considered to be text inputs when
907 using `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` in “gi mode.”
908 - Fixed: Using `<force>` or `<late>` in a shortcut no longer applies to _every_
909 shortcut for the command, but only that shortcut.
910 - Fixed: The order of the Previous/Next page patterns is now respected. This
911 caused the wrong link to be picked by the `[` and `]` commands on some pages.

916
917 ### 0.6.2 (2015-11-11)
918
919 - Improved: If the entire page isn’t scrollable, the largest scrollable element
920 is scrolled instead.
921 - Fixed: VimFx’s keyboard shortcuts now works on slowly loading pages.
922 - Fixed: Numbers may now be used as shortcut keys (overriding counts).
923 - Fixed: The toolbar button’s icon is now correctly sized in high DPI.
924 - Fixed: Hint markers are now correctly positioned when zooming using the “Zoom
925 text only” option.
926 - Fixed: The `P` command now works with the InstantFox add-on.
927
928 ### 0.6.1 (2015-11-10)
929
930 - Fixed: If you customized the “esc” command before VimFx 0.6.0 it should now
931 work as expected.
932 - Fixed: `<tab>` now works as expected in the location bar and in the dev tools.
933 - Fixed: Light-weight themes can no longer make VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
934 dialog and hint markers unreadable.
935 - Added: The [notifications\_enabled] option.
936
937 [notifications\_enabled]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/56c4b7c514ea8b58d2cdcecf3d2654648c48ca31/documentation/options.md#notifications_enabled
938
939 ### 0.6.0 (2015-11-09)
940
941 ##### Most important (breaking) changes
942
943 - VimFx now works properly with **any keyboard layout.** Users of **multiple
944 layouts** should enable the **[ignore keyboard layout] option.** #249 #259
945
946 - Features related to disabling VimFx, and to the [toolbar button]:
947
948 - **Insert Mode** has been renamed to **_Ignore_ mode.**
949 - **[Blacklisted][blacklist] sites** now **enter Ignore mode automatically,**
950 instead of being specially handled.
951 - The feature to click the toolbar button (or press `<a-V>`) to **disable
952 VimFx** has been **removed.** Use **Ignore mode** (`i`) and the
953 **[blacklist] instead.**
954 - The **toolbar button** is now **red in Ignore mode** (which also means that
955 it is red on blacklisted sites) and green otherwise (never grey anymore).
956 - The toolbar button no longer offers to (un-)blacklist the current domain.
957 (Head into VimFx’s settings page in the Add-ons Manager and add
958 `*currentdomain.com*` to the [blacklist] option yourself instead.)
959
960 (See [commit 3552282] for more information.)
961
962 - **Some default shortcuts have changed,** mostly because they conflicted with
963 standard Firefox shortcuts: #308
964
965 - `<c-J>` → `gJ`
966
967 - `<c-K>` → `gK`
968
969 - `g^` and `gH` → `g0`
970
971 `g^` now selects the first _non pinned_ tab instead, while `g0`
972 selects the first tab regardless of whether it is pinned or not. #317
973
974 - `<c-e>` (alias for `j`) and `<c-y>` (alias for `k`) have been removed.
975
976 - `<c-f>` → `<space>` and `<c-b>` → `<s-space>`
977
978 - `vf` → `zf`
979
980 This frees up `v` for future shortcuts (instead making `z` a
981 “namespace” key, just like in Vim).
982
983 - To **exit Ignore mode:** `<escape>` → `<s-escape>`. This is because Ignore
984 mode has replaced the disable feature, as well as the special blacklist
985 state (see above). Sites are likely to use `<escape>` but not `<s-escape>`.
986 (In a way, this new role of Ignore mode also means that the old (many times
987 broken) shortcut to disable VimFx (`<a-V>`) has been replaced by `i`.) #64
988 \#375 #432
989
990 - VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now help only, and more accessible.
991 To **customize keyboard shortcuts,** go to VimFx’s settings page **in the
992 Add-ons Manager,** just like you would to customize other settings. Also,
993 **commas** between every key are **no longer needed:** Type `gJ` instead of
994 `g,J`.
995
996 - For performance reasons, **Hint markers** are now placed vertically **centered
997 instead of at the top** of the element. Don’t be surprised if you see the same
998 hint repeated several times**—links that go to the same place now get the same
999 hint.** The “Smart hints” option has been removed—hints are _always_ smart
1000 now, and a lot smarter than before. Finally, hints now also work in the new
1001 tab page, the Add-ons Manager and the preferences page. If you want to, you
1002 can read more about [the `f` commands]. \#51 #60 #176 #320 #325 #468 #471 #475
1003
1004 - The **`F`** command now _always_ opens tabs in new **background** tabs, while
1005 **`gf`** has been added to open tabs in new **foreground** tabs. #227 #464
1006
1007 - **Autofocus prevention** is now **off by default.** One of VimFx’s core
1008 philosophies is to be nice to your browser habits. Some find autofocus
1009 prevention too big a change. Turn it on again if you like it! By the way,
1010 autofocus prevention now works much more reliably and should not cause issues
1011 with other extensions. #497 #541
1012
1013 - The **“Scroll step”** option has been **removed**. The scrolling commands that
1014 used it now **work like the arrow keys instead,** and are customized just like
1015 them. See [scrolling prefs] for more information.
1016
1017 - Speaking of scrolling, **which elements scrolls** when you use VimFx’s
1018 scrolling commands **has changed.** See [scrolling commands] for more
1019 information.
1020
1021 ##### New features
1022
1023 - New commands:
1024
1025 - `gp` pins or unpins the current tab. (Also see `g^` and `g0` mentioned
1026 above.) #121
1027 - `yt` duplicates the current tab. #121
1028 - `0` and `^` scroll to the far left, and `$` scrolls to the far right.
1029 - [`gi`] has finally been implemented. #47
1030 - [Ignore mode `<s-f1>`] let you run a Normal mode command without exiting
1031 Ignore mode.
1032
1033 - In Hints mode you can now hold ctrl and alt to change behavior of the matched
1034 marker. Hold shift to temporarily make the hints see-through. See [the `f`
1035 commands] for more information. #220 #421 #484
1036
1037 - Some commands now accept [counts]. #374
1038
1039 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that work inside text inputs. See the
1040 [`<force>`] key for more information. #258
1041
1042 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that the page can override. See the
1043 [`<late>`] key for more information.
1044
1045 - A number of [advanced options] have been added. Rather than listing everything
1046 regarding them here, follow that link if you’re interested. #452 #489
1047
1048 - You may now, if you want to, configure VimFx through a [config file], using
1049 the new [public API]. Customizing VimFx through a config file also gives extra
1050 abilities, such as [site-specific options][option-overrides] and [disabling
1051 certain commands on certain sites][key-overrides]. It also allows to add
1052 [custom commands] \(and other extensions to extend VimFx). #158 #235 #255 #261
1053 \#300 #408 #445 #490 #515
1054
1055 - It is now easier to customize VimFx through custom [styling]. An example is
1056 changing the way hint markers look. #220 #233 #424 #432 #465
1057
1058 - VimFx now has [documentation] and a [wiki].
1059
1060 - A few new locales were added:
1061
1062 - fr. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r)!
1063 - pt-BR. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)!
1064 - sv-SE. Thanks to Andreas Lindhé (@lindhe)!
1065
1066 ##### Improvements
1067
1068 - VimFx is now multi-process/Electrolysis/e10s compatible! This means that you
1069 can run VimFx on a version of Firefox with multi-process enabled without
1070 issues, and that we’re future proof for the day when Firefox becomes
1071 multi-process by default. Best of all, it also made VimFx more reliable in
1072 non-multi-process (“regular”) Firefox. #378
1073
1074 - The `[` and `]` commands are now smarter, recognizing more links to the
1075 previous/next page correctly. You may read more about [previous/next page
1076 patterns]. #396
1077
1078 - The `n` and `N` commands now notify you when they wrap around the page, or the
1079 phrase you searched for could not be found. #398
1080
1081 - _All_ shortcuts in _all modes_ can now be customized. For example, this allows
1082 you to disable VimFx’s Vim-style `<enter>` behavior in the find bar. #222 #390
1083 \#421
1084
1085 - The `p` and `P` commands are now smarter regarding whether to treat the
1086 clipboard contents as a URL or a search, by working exactly like pasting in
1087 the location bar. They also now read the selection clipboard, if available.
1088 \#353 #382
1089
1090 - VimFx’s toolbar button is now properly implemented. #303 #349 #383
1091
1092 - Most locales were updated. Thanks to our awesome [translators]!
1093
1094 ##### Minor bug fixes
1095
1096 - VimFx now works correctly in tabs dragged to other windows. #57
1097 - The `p` command is no longer broken. #494
1098 - Non-ASCII shortcut keys now work properly. #433
1099 - The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog can no longer be covered by page elements.
1100 \#477
1101 - Hint markers can no longer be covered by page elements.
1102 - VimFx no longer causes scripts on icloud.com to get stuck in an infinite loop.

1128
1129 ### 0.5.17 (2015-01-23)
1130
1131 - Fixed: The hints generation no longer crashes on some pages (regression since
1132 version 0.5.15).
1133
1134 ### 0.5.16 (2015-01-22)
1135
1136 - Fixed: The toolbar button no longer throws errors. (This fix should have been
1137 in 0.5.15 but was forgotten. Luckily an AMO reviewer found it.)
1138
1139 ### 0.5.15 (2015-01-21)
1140
1141 - Improved: This version is now forwards-compatible with the upcoming version
1142 0.6.0. Downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.14 or older might cause VimFx to crash,
1143 but downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.15 is safe.
1144 - Fixed: Non-hintchars key presses in hints mode are now suppressed. They used
1145 to be passed along to the browser, which could confusingly activate site
1146 commands.
1147 - Fixed: The 'f' command now always opens links in the same tab. Links used to
1148 be able to force a new tab or window.
1149 - Fixed: Pressing 'Esc' in the location bar now restores the URL, as is the
1150 default behaviour of Firefox. You may now also close Firefox dialogs using
1151 'Esc'.
1152 - Improved: Updated the de locale. Thanks to Alexander Haeussler!
1153 - Improved: Updated the pl locale. Thanks to morethanoneanimal!
1154
1155 ### 0.5.14 (2014-08-16)
1156
1157 - Fixed: Locales should now work properly.
1158 - Improved: Updated the zh-CN locale (@mozillazg).
1159 - Improved: Updated the de locale (@Kambfhase).
1160 - Added: Japanese locale (@pluser).
1161 - Fixed: If you switched to another tab or window while an `<input>` element
1162 was focused and then switched back, the `<input>` element got blurred, while
1163 it should have stayed focused. This caused the auto-type feature of KeePassX
1164 to break.
1165
1166 ### 0.5.13 (2014-08-02)
1167
1168 - Fixed: The vote button on StackExchange sites are now markable again.
1169 - Improved: Detection of previous/next links. Should work better on gmail now.
1170 - Fixed: It is now possible to use Enter/Return in keyboard shortcuts.
1171 - Improved: The n/N commands (etc.) now work even if you didn’t open the finbar
1172 using the VimFx command (such as the default key binding ctrl+f, or by
1173 clicking a menu item).
1174 - Improved: It is now possible to blur text inputs without sending Esc to the
1175 page, which could cause dialogs etc. to annoyingly close.
1176 - Improved: Updated the el-GR locale (@sirodoht).
1177 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention sometimes made text inputs impossible to focus
1178 until you reloaded the page.
1179 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now works on more sites than before.
1180 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now prevents _all_ automatic focusing (not
1181 just when the page loads). This makes devdocs.io much easier to use.
1182 - Added: When viewing images directly and the image has been resized to fit the
1183 screen the image is now markable, allowing you to toggle zoom on it using the
1184 keyboard.
1185 - Fixed: It is no longer possible to add conflicting shortcuts (such as adding
1186 'a' when 'af' and 'as' are already present).
1187
1188 ### 0.5.12 (2014-06-01)
1189
1190 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention got stuck sometimes, making it impossible to
1191 focus inputs.
1192
1193 ### 0.5.11 (2014-06-01)
1194
1195 - Fixed: The focus search bar command was broken.
1196 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention was broken.
