119 Thanks to Tobias Girstmair (@girst)!
120
121 ### 0.21.0 (2019-05-15)
122
123 - Removed: The Developer Toolbar integration, such as the `:` shortcut. That
124 feature has been removed from Firefox and the integration was causing issues
125 on newer Firefox versions. Thanks to Tobias Girstmair (@girst)!
126 - Fixed: VimFx should now work on Waterfox again. Tested with Waterfox 56,
127 Firefox 56, Firefox 64 and Waterfox 68. Thanks to Tobias Girstmair (@girst)
128 and @matsuhav!
129
130 ### 0.20.15 (2018-08-06)
131
132 - Fixed: Find mode now works properly again. Thanks to @matsuhav!
133
134 ### 0.20.14 (2018-05-15)
135
136 - Fixed: VimFx should now work properly in Firefox 61 (if you have enabled
137 legacy extensions) as well as older versions of Firefox. The latest few
138 versions have been a bit buggy, but things should work better now. Thanks to
139 Kevin Cox (@kevincox) and 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
140
141 ### 0.20.13 (2018-05-06)
142
143 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 61 (if you have enabled legacy
144 extensions). Thanks to Kevin Cox (@kevincox), 依云 (@lilydjwg) and Jan
145 Kokemüller (@jiixyj)!
146
147 ### 0.20.12 (2018-01-23)
148
149 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 59 (if you have enabled legacy
150 extensions). Thanks to Kevin Cox (@kevincox) and 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
151 - Updated locale: es. Thanks to @strel!
152
153 ### 0.20.11 (2017-11-19)
154
155 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 58 (if you have enabled legacy
156 extensions). Thanks to 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
157
158 ### 0.20.10 (2017-03-25)
159
160 - Improved: Autofocus is now prevented when going back in history on pages that
161 use `history.pushState()` (in other words, on the 'popstate' event).
162 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!
163
164 ### 0.20.9 (2017-02-21)
165
166 - Fixed: The `yy` command now works as expected in Reader Mode.
167
168 ### 0.20.8 (2017-01-14)
169
170 - Improved: The scrolling commands now scroll the closest scrollable parent of
171 the currently focused element (if it is not scrollable itself). This is
172 noticeable for Twitter’s modals, which are often scrollable. No longer any
173 need to use the `f` or `ef` commands to scroll those modals!
174
175 ### 0.20.7 (2017-01-07)
176
177 - Improved: The `[` and `]` commands now work in Google search results.
178 - Improved: You can now show the “emoji picker” of the “like” button on Facebook
179 by using the `ef` command.
180 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @interleaved!
181
182 ### 0.20.6 (2016-12-16)
183
184 - Fixed: The `'`, `g[` and `g]` commands no longer crash. (Regression since
185 0.20.5.)
186 - Fixed: The `ef` command can now focus elements in deeply nested frames again.
187 (Regression since 0.19.0.)
188 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` and `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` are now properly
189 undone when reloading a config file (`gC`).
190 - Improved: Hint markers for elements with multiline text no longer cover the
191 text.
192 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @interleaved!
193
194 ### 0.20.5 (2016-12-04)
195
196 - Fixed: Scrolling by holding `d`, `u`, `<space>` or `<s-space>` no longer goes
197 slower and slower (and finally grinding to a halt) on long pages with lots of
198 elements. (See also the [`scroll.repeat_timeout`] pref.)
199 - Improved: All config API functions now validate all their parameters properly.
200 This provides a better user experience, and, most importantly, prevents VimFx
201 from crashing on certain invalid input.
202
203 [`scroll.repeat_timeout`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/58deb3f7b7c470a4d705f1dabf7aa13e095e8d09/documentation/options.md#smooth-scrolling
204
205 ### 0.20.4 (2016-11-16)
206
207 - Fixed: The `n` and `N` commands now work in Firefox’s PDF viewer.
208 - Fixed: The `eb` command can now click the tab bar scroll buttons.
209 - Fixed: Elements marked by the `eb` command now correctly get hints based on
210 their area again.
211 - Improved: The `eb` command now favors the browser tabs and their close
212 buttons, giving them better hints.
213 - Improved: The hints given to the browser tabs by the `eb` command are now
214 consistent no matter how many tabs you have open. This means that the first
215 tab always gets the same hint, the second tab always get the same hint, and so
216 on.
217 - Improved: Hint markers are now placed next to the text of the element if
218 appropriate. For example, the hint marker for a button with centered text is
219 now placed just to the left of the text rather than at the left edge of
220 button. This is nice because it means that hint markers usually end up where
221 you were just reading.
222 - Improved: The positioning of hint markers has been fine-tuned by a pixel or so
223 in some cases.
224 - Improved: Custom styled checkboxes and radio buttons now get hint markers
225 faster (they are now found in the first pass rather than the second).
226 - Improved: Compatibility with the [Tab Center] add-on.
227 - Improved: Blurring the location bar is now more consistent. Previously, its
228 text wasn’t reset if the autocomplete popup was open when you pressed
229 `<escape>` to blur it.
230 - Fixed: An edge case where the wrong hint markers could be highlighted.
231
232 [Tab Center]: https://testpilot.firefox.com/experiments/tab-center/
233
234 ### 0.20.3 (2016-10-22)
235
236 - Improved: Full page scrolling now recognizes the fixed footer on medium.com.
237 - Fixed: Scrollable element can now be focused with the `f` command again (not
238 just with the `ef` command). (Regression since 0.19.0.)
239 - Fixed: `<escape>` is no longer accidentally leaked to the page when used to
240 blur text inputs. This allows blurring text inputs in modals without closing
241 the modal (which `<escape>` commonly does otherwise).
242
243 ### 0.20.2 (2016-10-16)
244
245 - Fixed: Text inputs and links inside frames can now be focused using hint
246 commands again. (Regression since 0.19.0.)
247 - Improved: Previously focused text inputs inside frames no longer steal the
248 focus when entering Caret mode in that frame.
249 - Improved: When several hint markers have the same hint (because their links
250 go to the same place), the _largest_ of those links is now chosen when
251 activating that hint. This might be noticeable via focus styling.
252 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @av2000ii!
253
254 ### 0.20.1 (2016-10-09)
255
256 - Improved: Caret mode is now a bit more robust. It can no longer make you end
257 up with [Firefox’s own Caret mode] accidentally enabled.
258 - Improved: If you try use for example `<ctrl>-j` as a keyboard shortcut, VimFx
259 will now tell you that you probably want `<c-j>` instead.
260 - Fixed: Using a keyboard shortcut to switch keyboard layout in GNOME while
261 inside a text input no longer causes the focus of that text input to be lost
262 when the Prevent autofocus option is enabled.
263 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @av2000ii!
264
265 [Firefox’s own Caret mode]: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Accessibility_features_of_Firefox#Allow_text_to_be_selected_with_the_keyboard
266
267 ### 0.20.0 (2016-10-02)
268
269 - Added: The `g[` and `g]` commands, which let you scroll to previous and next
270 scroll positions of the current page. This is similar to Vim’s jump list.
271 - Added: The `/` mark. Pressing `'/` takes you to the scroll position before the
272 last `/`, `a/` or `g/`.
273 - Fixed: Pressing `''` multiple times in a row now flips back and forth
274 between two scroll positions as expected.
275 - Fixed: Version 0.19.0 claimed to include the following improvement: “The hint
276 marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for a larger
277 element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).” However, a silly
278 mistake caused that improvement not to work. Now it does. For real.
279 - Fixed: All VimFx commands that copy text to the clipboard are now made sure to
280 also copy to the “selection clipboard” (if your system has such a thing). For
281 example, if you copy text using the `yv` command, the `p` command now uses
282 that copied text as expected.
283
284 ### 0.19.1 (2016-09-26)
285
286 - Fixed: The `'` command no longer crashes. (Regression since 0.19.0.)
287
288 ### 0.19.0 (2016-09-25)
289
290 #### Changes and improvements to Hints mode
291
292 **New feature:** Hint markers can now be filtered by element text, similar to
293 Vimium, Vimperator and Pentadactyl. This is useful for people who simply prefer
294 that workflow, and for clicking tiny pagination links (simply type its number!).
295
296 By default, filtering by element text is done by typing _uppercase_ characters
297 (hold down shift!). All characters other than the hint characters are now used
298 to filter hint markers by element text (rather than just being ignored). Do you
299 prefer filtering by element text, but dislike typing uppercase letters? Have a
300 look at how [hint characters] work to make things the other way around!
301
302 The markers with the best hint are now highlighted with a different color. You
303 may at any time press `<enter>` to activate those markers (or `<c-enter>` or
304 `<a-enter>` to change where and how to open links, just like you can hold ctrl
305 or alt for the last hint character).
306
307 Because of the above new features, the following default **Hints mode shortcuts
308 had to be changed:**
309
310 - `<space>` → `<c-space>` (`<s-space>` is left untouched)
311 - `<s->` → `<c-s->` (hold ctrl _and_ shift to peek through hint markers)
312 - `<enter>` → `<up>`
313 - `<c-enter>` → `<c-backspace>`
314
315 To make it easier to see the element text, hint markers are now nudged to the
316 left if they cover the text.
317
318 Other hint marker improvements:
319
320 - Hint markers are now 20% smaller by default. While trying to match text sizes
321 set by your operating system, they ended up a bit too large on most systems.
322 Check out the [Styling] documentation if you’d like to change the font size.
323 - Hint markers now have stronger contrast between the background color and the
324 text color, which should make them easier to read.
325 - The CSS for hint markers have been improved, making it easier to use custom
326 [Styling].
327 - When several elements have the same area, the best hint is now correctly given
328 to the _first_ of those elements. Previously, it happened to be the other way
329 around.
330 - The hint marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for
331 a larger element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).
332 - Hint markers are now better positioned when having zoomed the page in or out.
333 - Hints mode is now more robust in general. Several race conditions have been
334 fixed.

338
339 #### Other updates
340
341 - Added: The ability to **export, import and reset all** VimFx options. There
342 are three shiny new buttons for this in VimFx’s options page in the Add-ons
343 Manager!
344 - Added: The `gB` command, which lets you **quickly blacklist** (and
345 un-blacklist) sites.
346 - Added: The `ec` command, for opening the context menu of elements.
347 - Added: The `ep` command, for opening links in new private windows.
348 - Improved: `h`, `l`, `j` and `k` now feel more like scrolling with the arrow
349 keys when held down, by boosting the scrolling speed. See the
350 [`scroll.horizontal_boost` and `scroll.vertical_boost`][scroll-boost] options
351 for more information.
352 - Fixed: VimFx’s find bar integration is now much more robust. Most notably, if
353 you start typing directly after pressing `/` and Firefox is slow at opening
354 the find bar, your keypresses can no longer trigger VimFx commands or Firefox
355 built-in commands.
356 - Improved: VimFx no longer leaks keypresses to the web page in some modes. (For
357 example, counts in Caret mode).
358 - Improved: The `eb` command now finds more clickable elements in the devtools.
359 - Changed: `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` no longer lets you easily break for example
360 Hints mode, by now only being applied to Normal mode. You might need to change
361 your matchers from `(location, mode) => ...` to simply `location => ...`.
362 (Breaking API change.)
363 - Changed: The object passed to custom commands (and custom modes) no longer
364 contains a `uiEvent` property. Instead, there’s an `event` property. This
365 property can be used the same way if you check `vim.isUIEvent(event)` first.
366 (Breaking API change.)
367
368 [scroll-boost]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8bafdf0454043c1630bac8b13d13f1fb4e5ee9e7/documentation/options.md#scrollhorizontal_boost-and-scrollvertical_boost
369
370 ### 0.18.1 (2016-08-27)
371
372 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` no longer crashes on startup.
373 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` can now override the `prevent_autofocus`
374 pref again.
375
376 ### 0.18.0 (2016-08-20)
377
378 #### Changed default shortcuts
379
380 Some default keyboard shortcuts have been changed.
381
382 - Hint commands. Many of the old ones were difficult to remember, and there was
383 no space for adding new ones.
384
385 - `gf` → `et` (t as in tab)
386 - `gF` → `ew` (w as in window)
387 - `zf` → `ef` (f as in focus)
388 - `zF` → `eb` (b as in browser)
389 - `zv` → `av` (you actually select _all_ of the element’s text)
390
391 (`f`, `yf`, `af`, `v` and `yv` stay unchanged.)
392
393 There is a longer [explanation of these new defaults][hint-shortcuts] in the
394 documentation.
395
396 - `zr` → `gC`. `zr` was the only shortcut starting with `z`. This frees that key
397 up for other uses.
398
399 - `` ` `` → `'`. The `` ` `` shortcut (“scroll to mark”) as well as the `` ` ``
400 mark (“last position mark”) have both been changed to `'`. Both `` ` `` and
401 `'` are used in Vim. `'` is a better default, because it is easier to
402 type–both on an en-US QWERTY keyboard and, more importantly, on some
403 international layouts, such as the sv-SE QWERTY layout.
404
405 Note: If you miss Firefox’s default `'` shortcut to open the Quick Find bar
406 (which is now overridden), remember that VimFx provides `g/` which does the
407 same thing. (You can of course also change VimFx’s shortcuts.)
408
409 See also issue [#788].

412 [#788]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/issues/788
413
414 #### Other updates
415
416 - Added: It is now possible to create [custom hint commands].
417 - Fixed: The bottom-right corner of the page scrollbars can now be used with the
418 mouse again.
419 - Fixed: The toolbar button now correctly toggles VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts
420 dialog again.
421 - Updated locales: fr, ru. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r) and Nicholas
422 Guriev (@mymedia2)!
423
424 [custom hint commands]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/e8d9df31dd5c8df999ac22e3b3b8d548a68c6fa7/documentation/api.md#custom-hint-commands
425
426 ### 0.17.4 (2016-07-11)
427
428 - Improved: The usage of modifier keys in Hints mode is now shown in VimFx’s
429 Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog. The functionality has been there for a long
430 time, but should now be easier to find. Thanks to our awesome translators,
431 the new help text is already available in most supported locales!
432 - Improved: If you submit a form while still being inside one of its text
433 inputs, that text input is now automatically blurred. This lets you use VimFx
434 commands while waiting for the form to submit without having to press
435 `<escape>` first.
436 - Improved: The `gu` command now works better on some pages, by preserving a
437 trailing slash. Thanks to @sinkuu!
438 - Improved: VimFx now recognizes text areas in the TYPO3 CMS.
439 - Improved: The `<escape>` command and the toolbar button now let you escape
440 back to Normal mode if VimFx ever gets stuck thinking that you are typing in a
441 text input.
442
443 ### 0.17.3 (2016-06-27)
444
445 - Improved: The `zF` command can now open even more dropdown menus of buttons.
446
447 ### 0.17.2 (2016-06-19)
448
449 - Improved: The `zF` command now works with more buttons and is able to open
450 dropdown menus of buttons.
451 - Fixed: The `f` commands now recognize more file upload buttons.
452 - Fixed: Rotating hint markers now works more as expected after having entered a
453 few hint chars.
454 - Fixed: Scrolling now works in SVG documents.
455 - Fixed: Opening links in new tabs in Firefox 50.
456 - Updated locales: pt-BR and ru. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)
457 and Nicholas Guriev (@mymedia2)!
458
459 ### 0.17.1 (2016-06-12)
460
461 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer accidentally double-clicks instead of
462 single-clicking. Thanks to Alan Wu (@XrXr)!
463 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer crashes in Firefox 49+.
464 - Fixed: The “URL popup,” shown when hovering or focusing links, now appears
465 again when focusing links using `zf` (regression since 0.17.0).
466 - Updated locale: it. Thanks to Carlo Bertoldi (@cbertoldi)!
467
468 ### 0.17.0 (2016-06-08)
469
470 - Fixed: VimFx no longer scrolls smaller elements on a page instead of the
471 entire page on some sites.
472 - Improved: The `/`, `n` and `N` have been drastically sped up (when
473 [`find_from_top_of_viewport`][find_from_top_of_viewport-1] is on). Previously,
474 they appeared to freeze on some sites, but not anymore.
475 - Improved: You can no longer accidentally trigger VimFx between pressing `/`
476 and the find bar input being is focused.
477 - Improved: The `n` and `N` commands are now more robust.
478 - Improved: “Fullscreen” buttons and “Copy to clipboard” buttons can now be
479 activated the `f` command. Thanks to Alan Wu (@XrXr)!
480 - Changed: After having pressed `m` or `` ` `` VimFx no longer waits
481 indefinitely for you to press a mark key. Instead, the [timeout] option is
482 honored.
483 - Changed: After having pressed `m` or `` ` `` you can now press `<escape>` to
484 abort those commands.
485 - Changed: Find mode is no longer shown in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
486 dialog, to reduce clutter. (This can be changed through custom
487 [styling][styling-1].)
488 - Changed: The `?` command as well as the toolbar button now _toggle_ VimFx’s
489 Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (instead of always showing it, even if it was
490 already shown.)
491 - Changed: Counts are now ignored in Ignore mode. Previously, pressing number
492 keys would both send those key presses to the page _and_ contribute to the
493 count for commands (showing up in the bottom-right corner). This is no longer
494 the case.
495 - Updated locales: fr, zh-CN and zh-TW. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r),
496 @av2000ii and Robert Wang (@cyberrob)!

501
502 ### 0.16.1 (2016-05-29)
503
504 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer crashes (regression since 0.16.0).
505
506 ### 0.16.0 (2016-05-29)
507
508 - Fixed: The text input focus detection problems introduced in 0.15.1, which
509 sometimes caused VimFx commands to be triggered while typing in text inputs,
510 have been fixed.
511 - Improved: If you press `n` or `N` when there are are no matches for your
512 search, the find bar is no longer opened. Only a notification is shown. The
513 reliability of those notifications has also been improved.
514 - Improved: Hints mode now finds more links.
515 - Improved: Pressing `<c-enter>` in Hints mode now includes more elements.
516 - Updated locales: es, zh-CN. Thanks to @strel and @av2000ii!
517
518 ### 0.15.1 (2016-05-22)
519
520 - Improved: Better hints on Twitter.
521 - Improved: Compatibility with the [Evernote Web Clipper] add-on (and
522 potentially other add-ons with similar UI).
523 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!
524
525 [Evernote Web Clipper]: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/evernote-web-clipper/
526
527 ### 0.15.0 (2016-05-18)
528
529 - Improved: Hint markers now appear up to twice as fast on many pages. This is
530 done by creating the hint markers in two phases. Most are created in the
531 first, fast, phase. The rest take the same time as older VimFx versions to
532 show up.
533 - Fixed: VimFx no longer triggers commands while typing in fancy text inputs on
534 some sites, such as when composing a new tweet on Twitter. (See also the
535 [`blur_timeout`] pref.)
536 - Changed: The `<c-enter>` Hints mode command no longer _replaces_ all hint
537 markers on screen (with new ones for all elements on screen). Instead, it
538 _toggles_ your current hint markers with ones for all _other_ elements on
539 screen.
540 - Changed: There was a breaking change to the [`vimfx.setHintMatcher`] function
541 of the `frame.js` config file API. It no longer receives and returns an object
542 (of the shape `{type, semantic}`), but instead simply receives and returns the
543 `type` of the element.
544 - Improved: Some internal robustness refactoring.
545 - Updated locales: de, id, nl and zh-CN. Thanks to @just-barcodes, Yoppy
546 Halilintar (@comepradz), @HJTP, @av2000ii and @mozillazg.

550
551 ### 0.14.3 (2016-05-08)
552
553 - Fixed: Version 0.14.2 attempted to fix smooth scrolling speed in newer Firefox
554 versions. However, there was a tiny typo that caused the fix not to work. That
555 typo has been corrected.
556
557 ### 0.14.2 (2016-05-08)
558
559 - Fixed: Smooth scrolling speed is now correct again in newer Firefox versions.
560 - Fixed: The `yv` Caret mode command now only copies text that you can see on
561 screen (not any hidden text that might be on the page), making it truly work
562 like `zv` followed by `y`, as intended. This problem was very noticeable on
563 Slack. This also improves copying of 'contenteditable' elements using `yf`.
564 - Fixed: `<escape>` and arrow key handling as well as hint markers in the
565 devtools now work correctly again in newer Firefox versions.
566 - Fixed: VimFx no longer makes it impossible to open the Developer Toolbar.
567 - Improved: VimFx now ignores `<numlock>` and `<capslock>`. If your keyboard
568 sends `<numlock>` before some symbols, such as `<numlock>$` instead of just
569 `$`, shortcuts like `gx$` now work out of the box. This also means that you
570 can use `<capslock>` instead of `<shift>` when typing the `J` in `gJ`, for
571 example.
572 - Improved: Some minor cosmetic tweaks in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
573 dialog.
574
575 ### 0.14.1 (2016-04-30)
576
577 - Fixed: The Find commands (such as `/`, `n` and `N`) no longer crash on some
578 sites (regression since 0.14.0).
579
580 ### 0.14.0 (2016-04-29)
581
582 - Added: [Caret mode], which lets you copy text from web pages using the
583 keyboard.
584 - Improved: The Find commands (such as `/`, `n` and `N`) now search from the top
585 of the viewport, instead of from the top of the document, which is more
586 Vim-like and less disorienting. To read more about it (or to return to the
587 Firefox default behavior) please see the [`find_from_top_of_viewport`] pref.
588 - Improved: Compatibility with the [BackTrack Tab History] add-on.
589 - Added: The `<c-enter>` Hints mode command, which creates hint markers for
590 _all_ elements.
591 - Fixed: `__dirname` inside config files now works on Windows. Thanks to
592 Zhong Jianxin (@azuwis)!
593 - Fixed: Unnecessary full-page hint markers on some sites, such as Hackernews,
594 no longer appear.

599
600 ### 0.13.2 (2016-04-08)
601
602 - Improved: The “last position mark” `` ` `` now works more reliably.
603 - Improved: More video players are now recognized. Many video players lets you
604 press `<space>` while focused to toggle play/pause. VimFx tries to detect if
605 the currently focused element is a video player. If so, `<space>` is passed to
606 the video player instead of scrolling the page. (For those interested, see
607 also the [`adjustable_element_keys`] pref.)
608
609 [`adjustable_element_keys`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/645e35d7d82019b0551534c43926bc126e7105bd/documentation/options.md#adjustable_element_keys
610
611 ### 0.13.1 (2016-04-01)
612
613 - Fixed: Blacklisting of some XUL pages.
614 - Fixed: The current mode is no longer lost when a page loads. For example, if
615 you press `zF` while a page is loading, the markers no longer disappear.
616 - Fixed: Elements that you have focused using an `f` command no longer get stuck
617 appearing as if you’d put the mouse pointer.
618 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @mozillazg!
619
620 ### 0.13.0 (2016-03-19)
621
622 - Added: The `T` command, which opens a new tab after the current.
623 - Changed: The `gl` command now deals with _visited_ tabs only.
624 - Added: The [`gL`] command, which deals with <em>un</em>visited tabs only, in
625 oldest-first order. Use this to step through your unvisited background tabs in
626 the order you opened them (for example using the `F` command).
627 - Improved: The `gi` command no longer tries to focus the last focused text
628 input if it has been removed from the page. If so, it finds a new one instead.
629 - Fixed: You can now type in sidebar text inputs (such as in the history
630 sidebar) without having to switch to Ignore mode.
631 - Changed: If you enter Ignore mode you will now stay in Ignore mode in that tab
632 until you explicitly exit it (by pressing `<s-escape>`), even if you reload
633 the page or follow a link. If Ignore mode was entered automatically because of
634 the [blacklist][blacklist-2], though, you will be automatically returned to
635 Normal mode if
636 the URL changes to a non-blacklisted page.
637 - Added: VimFx can now automatically enter and exit Ignore mode based on the
638 currently focused element. Currently, the [wasavi] extension as well as
639 [CodeMirror] in Vim mode are detected. Both of those provide Vim-style
640 editors. This allows sending `<escape>` to those editors in order to exit
641 their Insert mode, without blurring the editor.
642 - Improved: CodeMirror editors now get better hints, keeping the cursor where
643 you left it.
644 - Improved: The [blacklist][blacklist-2] is now applied faster on some pages.
645 - Improved: Many audio and video elements are now recognized as “adjustable”,
646 allowing you to press for example `<space>` on them to toggle play/pause,
647 without scrolling the page.
648 - Improved: Scrolling by pages, such as using the `<space>` command, now takes
649 fixed heaears and footers into account, just like Firefox does.
650 - Fixed: Access keys now work correctly in context menus in the devtools and
651 `about:config`.
652 - Improved: The arrow keys now Just Work in the devtools, even if you have bound
653 them to VimFx commands.
654 - Changed: The public API has been removed, and turned into the Config file API.
655 If you were already using a config file, it will no longer work. You need to
656 set up a new one, but you should be able to simply copy and paste the contents
657 of the old one into the new one. Read the [config file] documentation for more
658 information.
659 - Changed: There are a few minor breaking changes to the API, though I doubt it
660 will affect anyone.
661 - If you use [`vimfx.on`], you probably need to adjust the arguments of the
662 your callbacks. They are now _always_ passed an object of data, instead of
663 sometimes passing the data directly.
664 - `match.focus` of [match object]s has been removed, and replaced by
665 `vim.focusType` of [vim object]s.
666 - Fixed: The toolbar button’s icon is now correctly sized when setting
667 `layout.css.devPixelsPerPx` to `2`. Thanks to Robert Ma (@Hexcles) and Dale
668 Whinham (@dwhinham)!
669 - Fixed: Find commands now work when the find bar was opened before the page had
670 finished loading.
671 - Improved: Lots of internal improvements. This should make VimFx faster, more
672 reliable and more responsive.
673 - All keyboard event handling (except `<late>` shortcuts) are now handled in
674 the UI process, instead of mostly in each tab’s web page content process.
675 This should make VimFx’s shortcuts more reliable and responsive.
676 - Removed all synchronous message passing (execpt for `<late>` keypresses).
677 Mozilla recommends using them only where absolutely necessary. Turns out
678 VimFx doesn’t need them anymore!
679 - The `f` commands are now more reliable. Before, they could crash on rare
680 occasions (on certain web pages), but that is less likely now.
681 - Less `MutationObserver`s are now used. This should improve performance.
682 - Less uncaught errors (especially on shutdown).
683 - Lots of minor improvements.
684 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!

694
695 ### 0.12.0 (2016-02-03)
696
697 - Improved: More clickable elements are now recognized. Most notably, elements
698 with click event listeners added by JavaScript now get hints.
699 - Improved: Autofocus prevention after using the `[` and `]` commands.
700 - Added: In VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (which can be opened by
701 pressing `?`) you can now click on any command to open VimFx’s settings page
702 in the Add-ons Manager and automatically select the text input for that
703 command, letting you edit its shortcuts. Tip: Use the `zF` command to click
704 without using the mouse.
705 - Changed: Autofocus is no longer prevented in Firefox internal pages, such as
706 `about:preferences`, `about:addons` and `about:config` (as well as other XUL
707 pages).
708 - Fixed: VimFx and the Beyond Australis extension do not conflict with each
709 other anymore.
710 - Fixed: The `gH` command no longer nags you about “No back/forward history”
711 even though there is.
712 - Added: The `gl` command now takes a [count][gl-count].
713 - Improved: Optimized CPU usage in Hints mode. (See also the [`hints_sleep`]
714 pref.)
715 - Improved: The `H` and `L` commands should now be more reliable in Firefox 43
716 and later.
717 - Changed: There was a tiny breaking change to the Public API, though I doubt it
718 will affect anyone. (See [commit 0ca807605e] if you’re especially interested.)
719 - Improved: _Several_ minor things, and some really nice internal refactoring.
720 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
721
722 [`hints_sleep`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/92b483c4a4f6da0b2c998267e0f01d3d999f93b6/documentation/options.md#hints_sleep

725
726 ### 0.11.0 (2016-01-15)
727
728 - Fixed: The `` ` `` command is no longer broken.
729 - Fixed: Memory leak.
730 - Added: The `gl` command, which takes you to the most recent tab.
731 - Improved: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now scrollable using VimFx’s
732 scrolling commands. To allow for this, the search field is no longer
733 autofocused. Instead, press `/` to open it.
734 - Improved: Using the `f` commands, such as `f` and `zf`, now works like
735 actually moving your mouse onto the link, making hover menus and such-like
736 appear.
737 - Improved: VimFx should now work better with Google Drive Documents, Etherpad
738 and a few other fancy text editors.
739 - Improved: The `]` command now works on google.com.
740 - Improved: Checkboxes and menu items on gmail.com are now given hints by the
741 `f` command.
742 - Improved: The `gi` command now also recognizes 'contenteditable' elements.
743 - Improved: Hint markers now move along together with their elements.
744 - Fixed: Hint markers should now be correctly positioned when zooming.
745 - Fixed: The toolbar button icon should now look correctly on Retina screens.
746 - Added: You may now disable counts by using toggling the [`counts_enabled`]
747 pref.
748 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
749 - Improved: Several minor things.
750
751 [`counts_enabled`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8dae7aec9008595da31b939d5ae2d239849cf6dc/documentation/options.md#counts_enabled
752
753 ### 0.10.0 (2015-12-09)
754
755 - Added: The `zF` command, which lets you click browser elements.
756 - Improved: The scrolling commands can now scroll browser elements (in other
757 words, not only web page content), by first selecting the scollable element
758 using `zF`.
759 - Added: The `gr` command, which toggles [Reader View].
760 - Added: The `gX` command, which opens the Recently Closed Tabs menu at the
761 middle of the screen.
762 - Added: The keys you’ve typed so far of a command, as well the count, are now
763 shown in a [notification]. (You may disable this using the
764 [`notify_entered_keys`] pref.)
765 - Improved: When commands don’t do anything, they show a [notification] instead,
766 letting you know that you actually pressed the right keys. For example, if you
767 press `f` but there are no markable elements visible, a notification is shown
768 telling you so, instead of silently doing nothing.
769 - Improved: `<space>` now scrolls _about a line less_ than a full page, just
770 like Firefox does by default. `d` scroll about _half_ a line less (by
771 default), so that pressing `d` twice works like pressing `<space>` once. (See
772 the [`scroll.full_page_adjustment` and `scroll.half_page_adjustment`] prefs
773 for more information.)
774 - Improved: `gi` now only selects all text in its text input if you haven’t
775 focused a text input yet (allowing you to easily replace pre-filled text),
776 instead of _always_ doing so. Otherwise, it now puts the cursor where you left
777 off typing the last time.
778 - Fixed: The `f` commands now put the cursor where you left off typing the last
779 time when focusing a text input. Previously, they accidentally selected all
780 text in the text input (use `zf` for that behavior).
781 - Fixed: Yet a scrolling fix. VimFx’s scrolling commands should now “just work”
782 on even more sites.
783 - Fixed: AltGr should now work out of the box on Windows. (See the
784 [`ignore_ctrl_alt`] pref for more information.)
785 - Removed: The el-GR, hu and pl locales were sadly too out of date to be useful,
786 and nobody has shown interest in updating them, so they were removed.
787 - Updated locales: id, de and zh-CN. Thanks to Yoppy Halilintar, @just-barcodes
788 and @mozillazg!
789 - Fixed: Several tiny bugs.

796
797 ### 0.9.0 (2015-12-02)
798
799 - Fixed: Links with the `onclick` attribute can now be opened in new tabs again.
800 (Regression since 0.8.0.)
801 - Fixed: The text size in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now
802 correctly resized.
803 - Added: The `gH` command. It opens the back/forward button context menu in the
804 middle of the window, allowing you to choose a history entry with the arrow
805 keys and `<enter>`.
806
807 ### 0.8.0 (2015-12-01)
808
809 - Fixed: VimFx now works properly in tabs moved to other windows.
810 - Fixed: An unreliable check for multi-process mode has been eliminated, fixing
811 various problems for some users.
812 - Fixed: VimFx’s toolbar button now changes color correctly when switching
813 between blacklisted and non-blacklisted tabs.
814 - Fixed: Dead keys now work out of the box on Windows.
815 - Improved: Links with the `onclick` attribute (abused as buttons) can no longer
816 get the same hint as another link.
817 - Added: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (shown by pressing `?`) is now
818 searchable.
819 - Added: The `g/` command. It’s like `/` but searches links only.
820
821 - Added: [Marks].
822
823 - Use `ma` to mark the current scroll position and `` `a `` to return to it.
824 (You may substitute `a` with any key press.)
825 - Use ``` `` ``` to return to the position before the last `gg`, `G`, `0`,
826 `$`, `/`, `n`, `N` or `` ` ``. (You can change this mark using the
827 [`last_scroll_position_mark`] pref.)
828
829 - Added: Window commands.
830
831 - `w`: Open new window.
832 - `W`: Open new private window.
833 - `gw`: Move tab to new window.
834 - `gF`: Follow link in new window.

838
839 ### 0.7.3 (2015-11-22)
840
841 - Fixed: Scrolling now works correctly in pages in quirks mode (lacking a
842 doctype), such as Hackernews.
843 - Improved: The largest scrollable element is now detected better in frames.
844 - Fixed: Hints mode now exits correctly when focusing a text input using `af`,
845 or `f` with a count.
846
847 ### 0.7.2 (2015-11-21)
848
849 - Fixed: The blinking text caret now always appears correctly when focusing text
850 inputs.
851
852 ### 0.7.1 (2015-11-21)
853
854 - Fixed: The scrolling commands should now “just work” when using non-default
855 zoom or DPI settings, most notably on Google Groups.
856
857 ### 0.7.0 (2015-11-19)
858
859 - Changed: Instead of using system notifications, which turned out to be a bit
860 too intrusive, [notifications] are now similar to the “URL popup” (shown when
861 hovering or focusing links) but are placed on the opposite side,.
862 - Changed: The “Focus next element” and “Focus previous element” commands have
863 been removed. The reason they existed was to let `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` only
864 cycle between text inputs (as opposed to _all_ focusable elements) after
865 you’ve pressed `gi`. Now, `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` are handled specially instead,
866 and _only_ after pressing `gi`. The reason for this change is that the now
867 removed commands were too intrusive, breaking user habits. One of VimFx’s main
868 goal is _not_ to do that. (You can turn the special handling of `<tab>` and
869 `<s-tab>` off using the the new [`focus_previous_key` and `focus_next_key`]
870 prefs.)
871 - Fixed: The scrolling commands should now “just work” in a lot more situations,
872 most notably on Gmail and Google Groups. More scrollable elements are also
873 recognized by the `f` and `zf` commands.
874 - Improved: The right border of hint markers for scrollable elements is now
875 styled to remind of a scroll bar, making them easier to recognize among hints
876 for links.
877 - Improved/Changed: `J` and `gJ` now allow a count on the first tab.
878 Consequently, `K` and `gK` now allow a count on the _last_ tab.
879 - Changed: `gJ` and `gK` can no longer be used to pin or unpin tabs. They now
880 only wrap around tabs of the same pinned state. Use `gp` to toggle between
881 pinned and non-pinned.
882 - Fixed: Many elements that got a hint before VimFx 0.6.0 now do again.
883 - Improved: Comment fields on Facebook can now be focused using `f` and blurred
884 using `<escape>`.
885 - Improved: VimFx’s toolbar button is no greyed out when you focus a text input.
886 This is to show that your key presses will be passed into the text input
887 rather than activating VimFx commands.
888 - Added: [`g0`, `g^` and `g$` now accept counts][tab-index-counts], allowing you
889 to go to tab number _count._
890 - Improved: `gi` now finds text inputs inside frames.
891 - Fixed: “gi mode” is now exited properly when blurring a text input.
892 - Fixed: `<select>` elements are no longer considered to be text inputs when
893 using `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` in “gi mode.”
894 - Fixed: Using `<force>` or `<late>` in a shortcut no longer applies to _every_
895 shortcut for the command, but only that shortcut.
896 - Fixed: The order of the Previous/Next page patterns is now respected. This
897 caused the wrong link to be picked by the `[` and `]` commands on some pages.

902
903 ### 0.6.2 (2015-11-11)
904
905 - Improved: If the entire page isn’t scrollable, the largest scrollable element
906 is scrolled instead.
907 - Fixed: VimFx’s keyboard shortcuts now works on slowly loading pages.
908 - Fixed: Numbers may now be used as shortcut keys (overriding counts).
909 - Fixed: The toolbar button’s icon is now correctly sized in high DPI.
910 - Fixed: Hint markers are now correctly positioned when zooming using the “Zoom
911 text only” option.
912 - Fixed: The `P` command now works with the InstantFox add-on.
913
914 ### 0.6.1 (2015-11-10)
915
916 - Fixed: If you customized the “esc” command before VimFx 0.6.0 it should now
917 work as expected.
918 - Fixed: `<tab>` now works as expected in the location bar and in the dev tools.
919 - Fixed: Light-weight themes can no longer make VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
920 dialog and hint markers unreadable.
921 - Added: The [notifications\_enabled] option.
922
923 [notifications\_enabled]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/56c4b7c514ea8b58d2cdcecf3d2654648c48ca31/documentation/options.md#notifications_enabled
924
925 ### 0.6.0 (2015-11-09)
926
927 ##### Most important (breaking) changes
928
929 - VimFx now works properly with **any keyboard layout.** Users of **multiple
930 layouts** should enable the **[ignore keyboard layout] option.** #249 #259
931
932 - Features related to disabling VimFx, and to the [toolbar button]:
933
934 - **Insert Mode** has been renamed to **_Ignore_ mode.**
935 - **[Blacklisted][blacklist] sites** now **enter Ignore mode automatically,**
936 instead of being specially handled.
937 - The feature to click the toolbar button (or press `<a-V>`) to **disable
938 VimFx** has been **removed.** Use **Ignore mode** (`i`) and the
939 **[blacklist] instead.**
940 - The **toolbar button** is now **red in Ignore mode** (which also means that
941 it is red on blacklisted sites) and green otherwise (never grey anymore).
942 - The toolbar button no longer offers to (un-)blacklist the current domain.
943 (Head into VimFx’s settings page in the Add-ons Manager and add
944 `*currentdomain.com*` to the [blacklist] option yourself instead.)
945
946 (See [commit 3552282] for more information.)
947
948 - **Some default shortcuts have changed,** mostly because they conflicted with
949 standard Firefox shortcuts: #308
950
951 - `<c-J>` → `gJ`
952
953 - `<c-K>` → `gK`
954
955 - `g^` and `gH` → `g0`
956
957 `g^` now selects the first _non pinned_ tab instead, while `g0`
958 selects the first tab regardless of whether it is pinned or not. #317
959
960 - `<c-e>` (alias for `j`) and `<c-y>` (alias for `k`) have been removed.
961
962 - `<c-f>` → `<space>` and `<c-b>` → `<s-space>`
963
964 - `vf` → `zf`
965
966 This frees up `v` for future shortcuts (instead making `z` a
967 “namespace” key, just like in Vim).
968
969 - To **exit Ignore mode:** `<escape>` → `<s-escape>`. This is because Ignore
970 mode has replaced the disable feature, as well as the special blacklist
971 state (see above). Sites are likely to use `<escape>` but not `<s-escape>`.
972 (In a way, this new role of Ignore mode also means that the old (many times
973 broken) shortcut to disable VimFx (`<a-V>`) has been replaced by `i`.) #64
974 \#375 #432
975
976 - VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now help only, and more accessible.
977 To **customize keyboard shortcuts,** go to VimFx’s settings page **in the
978 Add-ons Manager,** just like you would to customize other settings. Also,
979 **commas** between every key are **no longer needed:** Type `gJ` instead of
980 `g,J`.
981
982 - For performance reasons, **Hint markers** are now placed vertically **centered
983 instead of at the top** of the element. Don’t be surprised if you see the same
984 hint repeated several times**—links that go to the same place now get the same
985 hint.** The “Smart hints” option has been removed—hints are _always_ smart
986 now, and a lot smarter than before. Finally, hints now also work in the new
987 tab page, the Add-ons Manager and the preferences page. If you want to, you
988 can read more about [the `f` commands]. \#51 #60 #176 #320 #325 #468 #471 #475
989
990 - The **`F`** command now _always_ opens tabs in new **background** tabs, while
991 **`gf`** has been added to open tabs in new **foreground** tabs. #227 #464
992
993 - **Autofocus prevention** is now **off by default.** One of VimFx’s core
994 philosophies is to be nice to your browser habits. Some find autofocus
995 prevention too big a change. Turn it on again if you like it! By the way,
996 autofocus prevention now works much more reliably and should not cause issues
997 with other extensions. #497 #541
998
999 - The **“Scroll step”** option has been **removed**. The scrolling commands that
1000 used it now **work like the arrow keys instead,** and are customized just like
1001 them. See [scrolling prefs] for more information.
1002
1003 - Speaking of scrolling, **which elements scrolls** when you use VimFx’s
1004 scrolling commands **has changed.** See [scrolling commands] for more
1005 information.
1006
1007 ##### New features
1008
1009 - New commands:
1010
1011 - `gp` pins or unpins the current tab. (Also see `g^` and `g0` mentioned
1012 above.) #121
1013 - `yt` duplicates the current tab. #121
1014 - `0` and `^` scroll to the far left, and `$` scrolls to the far right.
1015 - [`gi`] has finally been implemented. #47
1016 - [Ignore mode `<s-f1>`] let you run a Normal mode command without exiting
1017 Ignore mode.
1018
1019 - In Hints mode you can now hold ctrl and alt to change behavior of the matched
1020 marker. Hold shift to temporarily make the hints see-through. See [the `f`
1021 commands] for more information. #220 #421 #484
1022
1023 - Some commands now accept [counts]. #374
1024
1025 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that work inside text inputs. See the
1026 [`<force>`] key for more information. #258
1027
1028 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that the page can override. See the
1029 [`<late>`] key for more information.
1030
1031 - A number of [advanced options] have been added. Rather than listing everything
1032 regarding them here, follow that link if you’re interested. #452 #489
1033
1034 - You may now, if you want to, configure VimFx through a [config file], using
1035 the new [public API]. Customizing VimFx through a config file also gives extra
1036 abilities, such as [site-specific options][option-overrides] and [disabling
1037 certain commands on certain sites][key-overrides]. It also allows to add
1038 [custom commands] \(and other extensions to extend VimFx). #158 #235 #255 #261
1039 \#300 #408 #445 #490 #515
1040
1041 - It is now easier to customize VimFx through custom [styling]. An example is
1042 changing the way hint markers look. #220 #233 #424 #432 #465
1043
1044 - VimFx now has [documentation] and a [wiki].
1045
1046 - A few new locales were added:
1047
1048 - fr. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r)!
1049 - pt-BR. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)!
1050 - sv-SE. Thanks to Andreas Lindhé (@lindhe)!
1051
1052 ##### Improvements
1053
1054 - VimFx is now multi-process/Electrolysis/e10s compatible! This means that you
1055 can run VimFx on a version of Firefox with multi-process enabled without
1056 issues, and that we’re future proof for the day when Firefox becomes
1057 multi-process by default. Best of all, it also made VimFx more reliable in
1058 non-multi-process (“regular”) Firefox. #378
1059
1060 - The `[` and `]` commands are now smarter, recognizing more links to the
1061 previous/next page correctly. You may read more about [previous/next page
1062 patterns]. #396
1063
1064 - The `n` and `N` commands now notify you when they wrap around the page, or the
1065 phrase you searched for could not be found. #398
1066
1067 - _All_ shortcuts in _all modes_ can now be customized. For example, this allows
1068 you to disable VimFx’s Vim-style `<enter>` behavior in the find bar. #222 #390
1069 \#421
1070
1071 - The `p` and `P` commands are now smarter regarding whether to treat the
1072 clipboard contents as a URL or a search, by working exactly like pasting in
1073 the location bar. They also now read the selection clipboard, if available.
1074 \#353 #382
1075
1076 - VimFx’s toolbar button is now properly implemented. #303 #349 #383
1077
1078 - Most locales were updated. Thanks to our awesome [translators]!
1079
1080 ##### Minor bug fixes
1081
1082 - VimFx now works correctly in tabs dragged to other windows. #57
1083 - The `p` command is no longer broken. #494
1084 - Non-ASCII shortcut keys now work properly. #433
1085 - The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog can no longer be covered by page elements.
1086 \#477
1087 - Hint markers can no longer be covered by page elements.
1088 - VimFx no longer causes scripts on icloud.com to get stuck in an infinite loop.

1114
1115 ### 0.5.17 (2015-01-23)
1116
1117 - Fixed: The hints generation no longer crashes on some pages (regression since
1118 version 0.5.15).
1119
1120 ### 0.5.16 (2015-01-22)
1121
1122 - Fixed: The toolbar button no longer throws errors. (This fix should have been
1123 in 0.5.15 but was forgotten. Luckily an AMO reviewer found it.)
1124
1125 ### 0.5.15 (2015-01-21)
1126
1127 - Improved: This version is now forwards-compatible with the upcoming version
1128 0.6.0. Downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.14 or older might cause VimFx to crash,
1129 but downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.15 is safe.
1130 - Fixed: Non-hintchars key presses in hints mode are now suppressed. They used
1131 to be passed along to the browser, which could confusingly activate site
1132 commands.
1133 - Fixed: The 'f' command now always opens links in the same tab. Links used to
1134 be able to force a new tab or window.
1135 - Fixed: Pressing 'Esc' in the location bar now restores the URL, as is the
1136 default behaviour of Firefox. You may now also close Firefox dialogs using
1137 'Esc'.
1138 - Improved: Updated the de locale. Thanks to Alexander Haeussler!
1139 - Improved: Updated the pl locale. Thanks to morethanoneanimal!
1140
1141 ### 0.5.14 (2014-08-16)
1142
1143 - Fixed: Locales should now work properly.
1144 - Improved: Updated the zh-CN locale (@mozillazg).
1145 - Improved: Updated the de locale (@Kambfhase).
1146 - Added: Japanese locale (@pluser).
1147 - Fixed: If you switched to another tab or window while an `<input>` element
1148 was focused and then switched back, the `<input>` element got blurred, while
1149 it should have stayed focused. This caused the auto-type feature of KeePassX
1150 to break.
1151
1152 ### 0.5.13 (2014-08-02)
1153
1154 - Fixed: The vote button on StackExchange sites are now markable again.
1155 - Improved: Detection of previous/next links. Should work better on gmail now.
1156 - Fixed: It is now possible to use Enter/Return in keyboard shortcuts.
1157 - Improved: The n/N commands (etc.) now work even if you didn’t open the finbar
1158 using the VimFx command (such as the default key binding ctrl+f, or by
1159 clicking a menu item).
1160 - Improved: It is now possible to blur text inputs without sending Esc to the
1161 page, which could cause dialogs etc. to annoyingly close.
1162 - Improved: Updated the el-GR locale (@sirodoht).
1163 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention sometimes made text inputs impossible to focus
1164 until you reloaded the page.
1165 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now works on more sites than before.
1166 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now prevents _all_ automatic focusing (not
1167 just when the page loads). This makes devdocs.io much easier to use.
1168 - Added: When viewing images directly and the image has been resized to fit the
1169 screen the image is now markable, allowing you to toggle zoom on it using the
1170 keyboard.
1171 - Fixed: It is no longer possible to add conflicting shortcuts (such as adding
1172 'a' when 'af' and 'as' are already present).
1173
1174 ### 0.5.12 (2014-06-01)
1175
1176 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention got stuck sometimes, making it impossible to
1177 focus inputs.
1178
1179 ### 0.5.11 (2014-06-01)
1180
1181 - Fixed: The focus search bar command was broken.
1182 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention was broken.
1183 - Fixed: The top bar on YouTube could not be accessed by VimFx.
1184 - Fixed: You can no longer add blank hotkeys.
1185 - Improved: Tab Groups are supported.
1186 - Improved: Matching of previous/next links should be more reliable.
1187 - Improved: A few minor things.
1188
1189 ### 0.5.10 (2014-05-07)
1190
1191 - Fixed yet another bug related to the default preferences
1192
1193 ### 0.5.9 (2014-05-04)
1194
1195 - Fixed a bug with default preferences not being set
