72
73 ### 0.21.0 (2019-05-15)

79 Firefox 56, Firefox 64 and Waterfox 68. Thanks to Tobias Girstmair (@girst)
80 and @matsuhav!
81
82 ### 0.20.15 (2018-08-06)
83
84 - Fixed: Find mode now works properly again. Thanks to @matsuhav!
85
86 ### 0.20.14 (2018-05-15)
87
88 - Fixed: VimFx should now work properly in Firefox 61 (if you have enabled
89 legacy extensions) as well as older versions of Firefox. The latest few
90 versions have been a bit buggy, but things should work better now. Thanks to
91 Kevin Cox (@kevincox) and 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
92
93 ### 0.20.13 (2018-05-06)
94
95 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 61 (if you have enabled legacy
96 extensions). Thanks to Kevin Cox (@kevincox), 依云 (@lilydjwg) and Jan
97 Kokemüller (@jiixyj)!
98
99 ### 0.20.12 (2018-01-23)
100
101 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 59 (if you have enabled legacy
102 extensions). Thanks to Kevin Cox (@kevincox) and 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
103 - Updated locale: es. Thanks to @strel!
104
105 ### 0.20.11 (2017-11-19)
106
107 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 58 (if you have enabled legacy
108 extensions). Thanks to 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
109
110 ### 0.20.10 (2017-03-25)
111
112 - Improved: Autofocus is now prevented when going back in history on pages that
113 use `history.pushState()` (in other words, on the 'popstate' event).
114 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!
115
116 ### 0.20.9 (2017-02-21)
117
118 - Fixed: The `yy` command now works as expected in Reader Mode.
119
120 ### 0.20.8 (2017-01-14)
121
122 - Improved: The scrolling commands now scroll the closest scrollable parent of
123 the currently focused element (if it is not scrollable itself). This is
124 noticeable for Twitter’s modals, which are often scrollable. No longer any
125 need to use the `f` or `ef` commands to scroll those modals!
126
127 ### 0.20.7 (2017-01-07)
128
129 - Improved: The `[` and `]` commands now work in Google search results.
130 - Improved: You can now show the “emoji picker” of the “like” button on Facebook
131 by using the `ef` command.
132 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @interleaved!
133
134 ### 0.20.6 (2016-12-16)
135
136 - Fixed: The `'`, `g[` and `g]` commands no longer crash. (Regression since
137 0.20.5.)
138 - Fixed: The `ef` command can now focus elements in deeply nested frames again.
139 (Regression since 0.19.0.)
140 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` and `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` are now properly
141 undone when reloading a config file (`gC`).
142 - Improved: Hint markers for elements with multiline text no longer cover the
143 text.
144 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @interleaved!
145
146 ### 0.20.5 (2016-12-04)
147
148 - Fixed: Scrolling by holding `d`, `u`, `<space>` or `<s-space>` no longer goes
149 slower and slower (and finally grinding to a halt) on long pages with lots of
150 elements. (See also the [`scroll.repeat_timeout`] pref.)
151 - Improved: All config API functions now validate all their parameters properly.
152 This provides a better user experience, and, most importantly, prevents VimFx
153 from crashing on certain invalid input.
154
155 [`scroll.repeat_timeout`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/58deb3f7b7c470a4d705f1dabf7aa13e095e8d09/documentation/options.md#smooth-scrolling
156
157 ### 0.20.4 (2016-11-16)
158
159 - Fixed: The `n` and `N` commands now work in Firefox’s PDF viewer.
160 - Fixed: The `eb` command can now click the tab bar scroll buttons.
161 - Fixed: Elements marked by the `eb` command now correctly get hints based on
162 their area again.
163 - Improved: The `eb` command now favors the browser tabs and their close
164 buttons, giving them better hints.
165 - Improved: The hints given to the browser tabs by the `eb` command are now
166 consistent no matter how many tabs you have open. This means that the first
167 tab always gets the same hint, the second tab always get the same hint, and so
168 on.
169 - Improved: Hint markers are now placed next to the text of the element if
170 appropriate. For example, the hint marker for a button with centered text is
171 now placed just to the left of the text rather than at the left edge of
172 button. This is nice because it means that hint markers usually end up where
173 you were just reading.
174 - Improved: The positioning of hint markers has been fine-tuned by a pixel or so
175 in some cases.
176 - Improved: Custom styled checkboxes and radio buttons now get hint markers
177 faster (they are now found in the first pass rather than the second).
178 - Improved: Compatibility with the [Tab Center] add-on.
179 - Improved: Blurring the location bar is now more consistent. Previously, its
180 text wasn’t reset if the autocomplete popup was open when you pressed
181 `<escape>` to blur it.
182 - Fixed: An edge case where the wrong hint markers could be highlighted.
183
184 [Tab Center]: https://testpilot.firefox.com/experiments/tab-center/
185
186 ### 0.20.3 (2016-10-22)
187
188 - Improved: Full page scrolling now recognizes the fixed footer on medium.com.
189 - Fixed: Scrollable element can now be focused with the `f` command again (not
190 just with the `ef` command). (Regression since 0.19.0.)
191 - Fixed: `<escape>` is no longer accidentally leaked to the page when used to
192 blur text inputs. This allows blurring text inputs in modals without closing
193 the modal (which `<escape>` commonly does otherwise).
194
195 ### 0.20.2 (2016-10-16)
196
197 - Fixed: Text inputs and links inside frames can now be focused using hint
198 commands again. (Regression since 0.19.0.)
199 - Improved: Previously focused text inputs inside frames no longer steal the
200 focus when entering Caret mode in that frame.
201 - Improved: When several hint markers have the same hint (because their links
202 go to the same place), the _largest_ of those links is now chosen when
203 activating that hint. This might be noticeable via focus styling.
204 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @av2000ii!
205
206 ### 0.20.1 (2016-10-09)
207
208 - Improved: Caret mode is now a bit more robust. It can no longer make you end
209 up with [Firefox’s own Caret mode] accidentally enabled.
210 - Improved: If you try use for example `<ctrl>-j` as a keyboard shortcut, VimFx
211 will now tell you that you probably want `<c-j>` instead.
212 - Fixed: Using a keyboard shortcut to switch keyboard layout in GNOME while
213 inside a text input no longer causes the focus of that text input to be lost
214 when the Prevent autofocus option is enabled.
215 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @av2000ii!
216
217 [Firefox’s own Caret mode]: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Accessibility_features_of_Firefox#Allow_text_to_be_selected_with_the_keyboard
218
219 ### 0.20.0 (2016-10-02)
220
221 - Added: The `g[` and `g]` commands, which let you scroll to previous and next
222 scroll positions of the current page. This is similar to Vim’s jump list.
223 - Added: The `/` mark. Pressing `'/` takes you to the scroll position before the
224 last `/`, `a/` or `g/`.
225 - Fixed: Pressing `''` multiple times in a row now flips back and forth
226 between two scroll positions as expected.
227 - Fixed: Version 0.19.0 claimed to include the following improvement: “The hint
228 marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for a larger
229 element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).” However, a silly
230 mistake caused that improvement not to work. Now it does. For real.
231 - Fixed: All VimFx commands that copy text to the clipboard are now made sure to
232 also copy to the “selection clipboard” (if your system has such a thing). For
233 example, if you copy text using the `yv` command, the `p` command now uses
234 that copied text as expected.
235
236 ### 0.19.1 (2016-09-26)
237
238 - Fixed: The `'` command no longer crashes. (Regression since 0.19.0.)
239
240 ### 0.19.0 (2016-09-25)
241
242 #### Changes and improvements to Hints mode
243
244 **New feature:** Hint markers can now be filtered by element text, similar to
245 Vimium, Vimperator and Pentadactyl. This is useful for people who simply prefer
246 that workflow, and for clicking tiny pagination links (simply type its number!).
247
248 By default, filtering by element text is done by typing _uppercase_ characters
249 (hold down shift!). All characters other than the hint characters are now used
250 to filter hint markers by element text (rather than just being ignored). Do you
251 prefer filtering by element text, but dislike typing uppercase letters? Have a
252 look at how [hint characters] work to make things the other way around!
253
254 The markers with the best hint are now highlighted with a different color. You
255 may at any time press `<enter>` to activate those markers (or `<c-enter>` or
256 `<a-enter>` to change where and how to open links, just like you can hold ctrl
257 or alt for the last hint character).
258
259 Because of the above new features, the following default **Hints mode shortcuts
260 had to be changed:**
261
262 - `<space>` → `<c-space>` (`<s-space>` is left untouched)
263 - `<s->` → `<c-s->` (hold ctrl _and_ shift to peek through hint markers)
264 - `<enter>` → `<up>`
265 - `<c-enter>` → `<c-backspace>`
266
267 To make it easier to see the element text, hint markers are now nudged to the
268 left if they cover the text.
269
270 Other hint marker improvements:
271
272 - Hint markers are now 20% smaller by default. While trying to match text sizes
273 set by your operating system, they ended up a bit too large on most systems.
274 Check out the [Styling] documentation if you’d like to change the font size.
275 - Hint markers now have stronger contrast between the background color and the
276 text color, which should make them easier to read.
277 - The CSS for hint markers have been improved, making it easier to use custom
278 [Styling].
279 - When several elements have the same area, the best hint is now correctly given
280 to the _first_ of those elements. Previously, it happened to be the other way
281 around.
282 - The hint marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for
283 a larger element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).
284 - Hint markers are now better positioned when having zoomed the page in or out.
285 - Hints mode is now more robust in general. Several race conditions have been
286 fixed.

290
291 #### Other updates
292
293 - Added: The ability to **export, import and reset all** VimFx options. There
294 are three shiny new buttons for this in VimFx’s options page in the Add-ons
295 Manager!
296 - Added: The `gB` command, which lets you **quickly blacklist** (and
297 un-blacklist) sites.
298 - Added: The `ec` command, for opening the context menu of elements.
299 - Added: The `ep` command, for opening links in new private windows.
300 - Improved: `h`, `l`, `j` and `k` now feel more like scrolling with the arrow
301 keys when held down, by boosting the scrolling speed. See the
302 [`scroll.horizontal_boost` and `scroll.vertical_boost`][scroll-boost] options
303 for more information.
304 - Fixed: VimFx’s find bar integration is now much more robust. Most notably, if
305 you start typing directly after pressing `/` and Firefox is slow at opening
306 the find bar, your keypresses can no longer trigger VimFx commands or Firefox
307 built-in commands.
308 - Improved: VimFx no longer leaks keypresses to the web page in some modes. (For
309 example, counts in Caret mode).
310 - Improved: The `eb` command now finds more clickable elements in the devtools.
311 - Changed: `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` no longer lets you easily break for example
312 Hints mode, by now only being applied to Normal mode. You might need to change
313 your matchers from `(location, mode) => ...` to simply `location => ...`.
314 (Breaking API change.)
315 - Changed: The object passed to custom commands (and custom modes) no longer
316 contains a `uiEvent` property. Instead, there’s an `event` property. This
317 property can be used the same way if you check `vim.isUIEvent(event)` first.
318 (Breaking API change.)
319
320 [scroll-boost]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8bafdf0454043c1630bac8b13d13f1fb4e5ee9e7/documentation/options.md#scrollhorizontal_boost-and-scrollvertical_boost
321
322 ### 0.18.1 (2016-08-27)
323
324 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` no longer crashes on startup.
325 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` can now override the `prevent_autofocus`
326 pref again.
327
328 ### 0.18.0 (2016-08-20)
329
330 #### Changed default shortcuts
331
332 Some default keyboard shortcuts have been changed.
333
334 - Hint commands. Many of the old ones were difficult to remember, and there was
335 no space for adding new ones.
336
337 - `gf` → `et` (t as in tab)
338 - `gF` → `ew` (w as in window)
339 - `zf` → `ef` (f as in focus)
340 - `zF` → `eb` (b as in browser)
341 - `zv` → `av` (you actually select _all_ of the element’s text)
342
343 (`f`, `yf`, `af`, `v` and `yv` stay unchanged.)
344
345 There is a longer [explanation of these new defaults][hint-shortcuts] in the
346 documentation.
347
348 - `zr` → `gC`. `zr` was the only shortcut starting with `z`. This frees that key
349 up for other uses.
350
351 - `` ` `` → `'`. The `` ` `` shortcut (“scroll to mark”) as well as the `` ` ``
352 mark (“last position mark”) have both been changed to `'`. Both `` ` `` and
353 `'` are used in Vim. `'` is a better default, because it is easier to
354 type–both on an en-US QWERTY keyboard and, more importantly, on some
355 international layouts, such as the sv-SE QWERTY layout.
356
357 Note: If you miss Firefox’s default `'` shortcut to open the Quick Find bar
358 (which is now overridden), remember that VimFx provides `g/` which does the
359 same thing. (You can of course also change VimFx’s shortcuts.)
360
361 See also issue [#788].

364 [#788]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/issues/788
365
366 #### Other updates
367
368 - Added: It is now possible to create [custom hint commands].
369 - Fixed: The bottom-right corner of the page scrollbars can now be used with the
370 mouse again.
371 - Fixed: The toolbar button now correctly toggles VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts
372 dialog again.
373 - Updated locales: fr, ru. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r) and Nicholas
374 Guriev (@mymedia2)!
375
376 [custom hint commands]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/e8d9df31dd5c8df999ac22e3b3b8d548a68c6fa7/documentation/api.md#custom-hint-commands
377
378 ### 0.17.4 (2016-07-11)
379
380 - Improved: The usage of modifier keys in Hints mode is now shown in VimFx’s
381 Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog. The functionality has been there for a long
382 time, but should now be easier to find. Thanks to our awesome translators,
383 the new help text is already available in most supported locales!
384 - Improved: If you submit a form while still being inside one of its text
385 inputs, that text input is now automatically blurred. This lets you use VimFx
386 commands while waiting for the form to submit without having to press
387 `<escape>` first.
388 - Improved: The `gu` command now works better on some pages, by preserving a
389 trailing slash. Thanks to @sinkuu!
390 - Improved: VimFx now recognizes text areas in the TYPO3 CMS.
391 - Improved: The `<escape>` command and the toolbar button now let you escape
392 back to Normal mode if VimFx ever gets stuck thinking that you are typing in a
393 text input.
394
395 ### 0.17.3 (2016-06-27)
396
397 - Improved: The `zF` command can now open even more dropdown menus of buttons.
398
399 ### 0.17.2 (2016-06-19)
400
401 - Improved: The `zF` command now works with more buttons and is able to open
402 dropdown menus of buttons.
403 - Fixed: The `f` commands now recognize more file upload buttons.
404 - Fixed: Rotating hint markers now works more as expected after having entered a
405 few hint chars.
406 - Fixed: Scrolling now works in SVG documents.
407 - Fixed: Opening links in new tabs in Firefox 50.
408 - Updated locales: pt-BR and ru. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)
409 and Nicholas Guriev (@mymedia2)!
410
411 ### 0.17.1 (2016-06-12)
412
413 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer accidentally double-clicks instead of
414 single-clicking. Thanks to Alan Wu (@XrXr)!
415 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer crashes in Firefox 49+.
416 - Fixed: The “URL popup,” shown when hovering or focusing links, now appears
417 again when focusing links using `zf` (regression since 0.17.0).
418 - Updated locale: it. Thanks to Carlo Bertoldi (@cbertoldi)!
419
420 ### 0.17.0 (2016-06-08)
421
422 - Fixed: VimFx no longer scrolls smaller elements on a page instead of the
423 entire page on some sites.
424 - Improved: The `/`, `n` and `N` have been drastically sped up (when
425 [`find_from_top_of_viewport`][find_from_top_of_viewport-1] is on). Previously,
426 they appeared to freeze on some sites, but not anymore.
427 - Improved: You can no longer accidentally trigger VimFx between pressing `/`
428 and the find bar input being is focused.
429 - Improved: The `n` and `N` commands are now more robust.
430 - Improved: “Fullscreen” buttons and “Copy to clipboard” buttons can now be
431 activated the `f` command. Thanks to Alan Wu (@XrXr)!
432 - Changed: After having pressed `m` or `` ` `` VimFx no longer waits
433 indefinitely for you to press a mark key. Instead, the [timeout] option is
434 honored.
435 - Changed: After having pressed `m` or `` ` `` you can now press `<escape>` to
436 abort those commands.
437 - Changed: Find mode is no longer shown in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
438 dialog, to reduce clutter. (This can be changed through custom
439 [styling][styling-1].)
440 - Changed: The `?` command as well as the toolbar button now _toggle_ VimFx’s
441 Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (instead of always showing it, even if it was
442 already shown.)
443 - Changed: Counts are now ignored in Ignore mode. Previously, pressing number
444 keys would both send those key presses to the page _and_ contribute to the
445 count for commands (showing up in the bottom-right corner). This is no longer
446 the case.
447 - Updated locales: fr, zh-CN and zh-TW. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r),
448 @av2000ii and Robert Wang (@cyberrob)!

453
454 ### 0.16.1 (2016-05-29)
455
456 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer crashes (regression since 0.16.0).
457
458 ### 0.16.0 (2016-05-29)
459
460 - Fixed: The text input focus detection problems introduced in 0.15.1, which
461 sometimes caused VimFx commands to be triggered while typing in text inputs,
462 have been fixed.
463 - Improved: If you press `n` or `N` when there are are no matches for your
464 search, the find bar is no longer opened. Only a notification is shown. The
465 reliability of those notifications has also been improved.
466 - Improved: Hints mode now finds more links.
467 - Improved: Pressing `<c-enter>` in Hints mode now includes more elements.
468 - Updated locales: es, zh-CN. Thanks to @strel and @av2000ii!
469
470 ### 0.15.1 (2016-05-22)
471
472 - Improved: Better hints on Twitter.
473 - Improved: Compatibility with the [Evernote Web Clipper] add-on (and
474 potentially other add-ons with similar UI).
475 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!

478
479 ### 0.15.0 (2016-05-18)
480
481 - Improved: Hint markers now appear up to twice as fast on many pages. This is
482 done by creating the hint markers in two phases. Most are created in the
483 first, fast, phase. The rest take the same time as older VimFx versions to
484 show up.
485 - Fixed: VimFx no longer triggers commands while typing in fancy text inputs on
486 some sites, such as when composing a new tweet on Twitter. (See also the
487 [`blur_timeout`] pref.)
488 - Changed: The `<c-enter>` Hints mode command no longer _replaces_ all hint
489 markers on screen (with new ones for all elements on screen). Instead, it
490 _toggles_ your current hint markers with ones for all _other_ elements on
491 screen.
492 - Changed: There was a breaking change to the [`vimfx.setHintMatcher`] function
493 of the `frame.js` config file API. It no longer receives and returns an object
494 (of the shape `{type, semantic}`), but instead simply receives and returns the
495 `type` of the element.
496 - Improved: Some internal robustness refactoring.
497 - Updated locales: de, id, nl and zh-CN. Thanks to @just-barcodes, Yoppy
498 Halilintar (@comepradz), @HJTP, @av2000ii and @mozillazg.

502
503 ### 0.14.3 (2016-05-08)
504
505 - Fixed: Version 0.14.2 attempted to fix smooth scrolling speed in newer Firefox
506 versions. However, there was a tiny typo that caused the fix not to work. That
507 typo has been corrected.
508
509 ### 0.14.2 (2016-05-08)
510
511 - Fixed: Smooth scrolling speed is now correct again in newer Firefox versions.
512 - Fixed: The `yv` Caret mode command now only copies text that you can see on
513 screen (not any hidden text that might be on the page), making it truly work
514 like `zv` followed by `y`, as intended. This problem was very noticeable on
515 Slack. This also improves copying of 'contenteditable' elements using `yf`.
516 - Fixed: `<escape>` and arrow key handling as well as hint markers in the
517 devtools now work correctly again in newer Firefox versions.
518 - Fixed: VimFx no longer makes it impossible to open the Developer Toolbar.
519 - Improved: VimFx now ignores `<numlock>` and `<capslock>`. If your keyboard
520 sends `<numlock>` before some symbols, such as `<numlock>$` instead of just
521 `$`, shortcuts like `gx$` now work out of the box. This also means that you
522 can use `<capslock>` instead of `<shift>` when typing the `J` in `gJ`, for
523 example.
524 - Improved: Some minor cosmetic tweaks in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
525 dialog.
526
527 ### 0.14.1 (2016-04-30)
528
529 - Fixed: The Find commands (such as `/`, `n` and `N`) no longer crash on some
530 sites (regression since 0.14.0).
531
532 ### 0.14.0 (2016-04-29)
533
534 - Added: [Caret mode], which lets you copy text from web pages using the
535 keyboard.
536 - Improved: The Find commands (such as `/`, `n` and `N`) now search from the top
537 of the viewport, instead of from the top of the document, which is more
538 Vim-like and less disorienting. To read more about it (or to return to the
539 Firefox default behavior) please see the [`find_from_top_of_viewport`] pref.
540 - Improved: Compatibility with the [BackTrack Tab History] add-on.
541 - Added: The `<c-enter>` Hints mode command, which creates hint markers for
542 _all_ elements.
543 - Fixed: `__dirname` inside config files now works on Windows. Thanks to
544 Zhong Jianxin (@azuwis)!
545 - Fixed: Unnecessary full-page hint markers on some sites, such as Hackernews,
546 no longer appear.

551
552 ### 0.13.2 (2016-04-08)
553
554 - Improved: The “last position mark” `` ` `` now works more reliably.
555 - Improved: More video players are now recognized. Many video players lets you
556 press `<space>` while focused to toggle play/pause. VimFx tries to detect if
557 the currently focused element is a video player. If so, `<space>` is passed to
558 the video player instead of scrolling the page. (For those interested, see
559 also the [`adjustable_element_keys`] pref.)
560
561 [`adjustable_element_keys`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/645e35d7d82019b0551534c43926bc126e7105bd/documentation/options.md#adjustable_element_keys
562
563 ### 0.13.1 (2016-04-01)
564
565 - Fixed: Blacklisting of some XUL pages.
566 - Fixed: The current mode is no longer lost when a page loads. For example, if
567 you press `zF` while a page is loading, the markers no longer disappear.
568 - Fixed: Elements that you have focused using an `f` command no longer get stuck
569 appearing as if you’d put the mouse pointer.
570 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @mozillazg!
571
572 ### 0.13.0 (2016-03-19)
573
574 - Added: The `T` command, which opens a new tab after the current.
575 - Changed: The `gl` command now deals with _visited_ tabs only.
576 - Added: The [`gL`] command, which deals with <em>un</em>visited tabs only, in
577 oldest-first order. Use this to step through your unvisited background tabs in
578 the order you opened them (for example using the `F` command).
579 - Improved: The `gi` command no longer tries to focus the last focused text
580 input if it has been removed from the page. If so, it finds a new one instead.
581 - Fixed: You can now type in sidebar text inputs (such as in the history
582 sidebar) without having to switch to Ignore mode.
583 - Changed: If you enter Ignore mode you will now stay in Ignore mode in that tab
584 until you explicitly exit it (by pressing `<s-escape>`), even if you reload
585 the page or follow a link. If Ignore mode was entered automatically because of
586 the [blacklist][blacklist-2], though, you will be automatically returned to
587 Normal mode if
588 the URL changes to a non-blacklisted page.
589 - Added: VimFx can now automatically enter and exit Ignore mode based on the
590 currently focused element. Currently, the [wasavi] extension as well as
591 [CodeMirror] in Vim mode are detected. Both of those provide Vim-style
592 editors. This allows sending `<escape>` to those editors in order to exit
593 their Insert mode, without blurring the editor.
594 - Improved: CodeMirror editors now get better hints, keeping the cursor where
595 you left it.
596 - Improved: The [blacklist][blacklist-2] is now applied faster on some pages.
597 - Improved: Many audio and video elements are now recognized as “adjustable”,
598 allowing you to press for example `<space>` on them to toggle play/pause,
599 without scrolling the page.
600 - Improved: Scrolling by pages, such as using the `<space>` command, now takes
601 fixed heaears and footers into account, just like Firefox does.
602 - Fixed: Access keys now work correctly in context menus in the devtools and
603 `about:config`.
604 - Improved: The arrow keys now Just Work in the devtools, even if you have bound
605 them to VimFx commands.
606 - Changed: The public API has been removed, and turned into the Config file API.
607 If you were already using a config file, it will no longer work. You need to
608 set up a new one, but you should be able to simply copy and paste the contents
609 of the old one into the new one. Read the [config file] documentation for more
610 information.
611 - Changed: There are a few minor breaking changes to the API, though I doubt it
612 will affect anyone.
613 - If you use [`vimfx.on`], you probably need to adjust the arguments of the
614 your callbacks. They are now _always_ passed an object of data, instead of
615 sometimes passing the data directly.
616 - `match.focus` of [match object]s has been removed, and replaced by
617 `vim.focusType` of [vim object]s.
618 - Fixed: The toolbar button’s icon is now correctly sized when setting
619 `layout.css.devPixelsPerPx` to `2`. Thanks to Robert Ma (@Hexcles) and Dale
620 Whinham (@dwhinham)!
621 - Fixed: Find commands now work when the find bar was opened before the page had
622 finished loading.
623 - Improved: Lots of internal improvements. This should make VimFx faster, more
624 reliable and more responsive.
625 - All keyboard event handling (except `<late>` shortcuts) are now handled in
626 the UI process, instead of mostly in each tab’s web page content process.
627 This should make VimFx’s shortcuts more reliable and responsive.
628 - Removed all synchronous message passing (execpt for `<late>` keypresses).
629 Mozilla recommends using them only where absolutely necessary. Turns out
630 VimFx doesn’t need them anymore!
631 - The `f` commands are now more reliable. Before, they could crash on rare
632 occasions (on certain web pages), but that is less likely now.
633 - Less `MutationObserver`s are now used. This should improve performance.
634 - Less uncaught errors (especially on shutdown).
635 - Lots of minor improvements.
636 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!

646
647 ### 0.12.0 (2016-02-03)
648
649 - Improved: More clickable elements are now recognized. Most notably, elements
650 with click event listeners added by JavaScript now get hints.
651 - Improved: Autofocus prevention after using the `[` and `]` commands.
652 - Added: In VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (which can be opened by
653 pressing `?`) you can now click on any command to open VimFx’s settings page
654 in the Add-ons Manager and automatically select the text input for that
655 command, letting you edit its shortcuts. Tip: Use the `zF` command to click
656 without using the mouse.
657 - Changed: Autofocus is no longer prevented in Firefox internal pages, such as
658 `about:preferences`, `about:addons` and `about:config` (as well as other XUL
659 pages).
660 - Fixed: VimFx and the Beyond Australis extension do not conflict with each
661 other anymore.
662 - Fixed: The `gH` command no longer nags you about “No back/forward history”
663 even though there is.
664 - Added: The `gl` command now takes a [count][gl-count].
665 - Improved: Optimized CPU usage in Hints mode. (See also the [`hints_sleep`]
666 pref.)
667 - Improved: The `H` and `L` commands should now be more reliable in Firefox 43
668 and later.
669 - Changed: There was a tiny breaking change to the Public API, though I doubt it
670 will affect anyone. (See [commit 0ca807605e] if you’re especially interested.)
671 - Improved: _Several_ minor things, and some really nice internal refactoring.
672 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
673
674 [`hints_sleep`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/92b483c4a4f6da0b2c998267e0f01d3d999f93b6/documentation/options.md#hints_sleep

677
678 ### 0.11.0 (2016-01-15)
679
680 - Fixed: The `` ` `` command is no longer broken.
681 - Fixed: Memory leak.
682 - Added: The `gl` command, which takes you to the most recent tab.
683 - Improved: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now scrollable using VimFx’s
684 scrolling commands. To allow for this, the search field is no longer
685 autofocused. Instead, press `/` to open it.
686 - Improved: Using the `f` commands, such as `f` and `zf`, now works like
687 actually moving your mouse onto the link, making hover menus and such-like
688 appear.
689 - Improved: VimFx should now work better with Google Drive Documents, Etherpad
690 and a few other fancy text editors.
691 - Improved: The `]` command now works on google.com.
692 - Improved: Checkboxes and menu items on gmail.com are now given hints by the
693 `f` command.
694 - Improved: The `gi` command now also recognizes 'contenteditable' elements.
695 - Improved: Hint markers now move along together with their elements.
696 - Fixed: Hint markers should now be correctly positioned when zooming.
697 - Fixed: The toolbar button icon should now look correctly on Retina screens.
698 - Added: You may now disable counts by using toggling the [`counts_enabled`]
699 pref.
700 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
701 - Improved: Several minor things.
702
703 [`counts_enabled`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8dae7aec9008595da31b939d5ae2d239849cf6dc/documentation/options.md#counts_enabled
704
705 ### 0.10.0 (2015-12-09)
706
707 - Added: The `zF` command, which lets you click browser elements.
708 - Improved: The scrolling commands can now scroll browser elements (in other
709 words, not only web page content), by first selecting the scollable element
710 using `zF`.
711 - Added: The `gr` command, which toggles [Reader View].
712 - Added: The `gX` command, which opens the Recently Closed Tabs menu at the
713 middle of the screen.
714 - Added: The keys you’ve typed so far of a command, as well the count, are now
715 shown in a [notification]. (You may disable this using the
716 [`notify_entered_keys`] pref.)
717 - Improved: When commands don’t do anything, they show a [notification] instead,
718 letting you know that you actually pressed the right keys. For example, if you
719 press `f` but there are no markable elements visible, a notification is shown
720 telling you so, instead of silently doing nothing.
721 - Improved: `<space>` now scrolls _about a line less_ than a full page, just
722 like Firefox does by default. `d` scroll about _half_ a line less (by
723 default), so that pressing `d` twice works like pressing `<space>` once. (See
724 the [`scroll.full_page_adjustment` and `scroll.half_page_adjustment`] prefs
725 for more information.)
726 - Improved: `gi` now only selects all text in its text input if you haven’t
727 focused a text input yet (allowing you to easily replace pre-filled text),
728 instead of _always_ doing so. Otherwise, it now puts the cursor where you left
729 off typing the last time.
730 - Fixed: The `f` commands now put the cursor where you left off typing the last
731 time when focusing a text input. Previously, they accidentally selected all
732 text in the text input (use `zf` for that behavior).
733 - Fixed: Yet a scrolling fix. VimFx’s scrolling commands should now “just work”
734 on even more sites.
735 - Fixed: AltGr should now work out of the box on Windows. (See the
736 [`ignore_ctrl_alt`] pref for more information.)
737 - Removed: The el-GR, hu and pl locales were sadly too out of date to be useful,
738 and nobody has shown interest in updating them, so they were removed.
739 - Updated locales: id, de and zh-CN. Thanks to Yoppy Halilintar, @just-barcodes
740 and @mozillazg!
741 - Fixed: Several tiny bugs.

748
749 ### 0.9.0 (2015-12-02)
750
751 - Fixed: Links with the `onclick` attribute can now be opened in new tabs again.
752 (Regression since 0.8.0.)
753 - Fixed: The text size in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now
754 correctly resized.
755 - Added: The `gH` command. It opens the back/forward button context menu in the
756 middle of the window, allowing you to choose a history entry with the arrow
757 keys and `<enter>`.
758
759 ### 0.8.0 (2015-12-01)
760
761 - Fixed: VimFx now works properly in tabs moved to other windows.
762 - Fixed: An unreliable check for multi-process mode has been eliminated, fixing
763 various problems for some users.
764 - Fixed: VimFx’s toolbar button now changes color correctly when switching
765 between blacklisted and non-blacklisted tabs.
766 - Fixed: Dead keys now work out of the box on Windows.
767 - Improved: Links with the `onclick` attribute (abused as buttons) can no longer
768 get the same hint as another link.
769 - Added: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (shown by pressing `?`) is now
770 searchable.
771 - Added: The `g/` command. It’s like `/` but searches links only.
772
773 - Added: [Marks].
774
775 - Use `ma` to mark the current scroll position and `` `a `` to return to it.
776 (You may substitute `a` with any key press.)
777 - Use ``` `` ``` to return to the position before the last `gg`, `G`, `0`,
778 `$`, `/`, `n`, `N` or `` ` ``. (You can change this mark using the
779 [`last_scroll_position_mark`] pref.)
780
781 - Added: Window commands.
782
783 - `w`: Open new window.
784 - `W`: Open new private window.
785 - `gw`: Move tab to new window.
786 - `gF`: Follow link in new window.
787

790
791 ### 0.7.3 (2015-11-22)
792
793 - Fixed: Scrolling now works correctly in pages in quirks mode (lacking a
794 doctype), such as Hackernews.
795 - Improved: The largest scrollable element is now detected better in frames.
796 - Fixed: Hints mode now exits correctly when focusing a text input using `af`,
797 or `f` with a count.
798
799 ### 0.7.2 (2015-11-21)
800
801 - Fixed: The blinking text caret now always appears correctly when focusing text
802 inputs.
803
804 ### 0.7.1 (2015-11-21)
805
806 - Fixed: The scrolling commands should now “just work” when using non-default
807 zoom or DPI settings, most notably on Google Groups.
808
809 ### 0.7.0 (2015-11-19)
810
811 - Changed: Instead of using system notifications, which turned out to be a bit
812 too intrusive, [notifications] are now similar to the “URL popup” (shown when
813 hovering or focusing links) but are placed on the opposite side,.
814 - Changed: The “Focus next element” and “Focus previous element” commands have
815 been removed. The reason they existed was to let `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` only
816 cycle between text inputs (as opposed to _all_ focusable elements) after
817 you’ve pressed `gi`. Now, `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` are handled specially instead,
818 and _only_ after pressing `gi`. The reason for this change is that the now
819 removed commands were too intrusive, breaking user habits. One of VimFx’s main
820 goal is _not_ to do that. (You can turn the special handling of `<tab>` and
821 `<s-tab>` off using the the new [`focus_previous_key` and `focus_next_key`]
822 prefs.)
823 - Fixed: The scrolling commands should now “just work” in a lot more situations,
824 most notably on Gmail and Google Groups. More scrollable elements are also
825 recognized by the `f` and `zf` commands.
826 - Improved: The right border of hint markers for scrollable elements is now
827 styled to remind of a scroll bar, making them easier to recognize among hints
828 for links.
829 - Improved/Changed: `J` and `gJ` now allow a count on the first tab.
830 Consequently, `K` and `gK` now allow a count on the _last_ tab.
831 - Changed: `gJ` and `gK` can no longer be used to pin or unpin tabs. They now
832 only wrap around tabs of the same pinned state. Use `gp` to toggle between
833 pinned and non-pinned.
834 - Fixed: Many elements that got a hint before VimFx 0.6.0 now do again.
835 - Improved: Comment fields on Facebook can now be focused using `f` and blurred
836 using `<escape>`.
837 - Improved: VimFx’s toolbar button is no greyed out when you focus a text input.
838 This is to show that your key presses will be passed into the text input
839 rather than activating VimFx commands.
840 - Added: [`g0`, `g^` and `g$` now accept counts][tab-index-counts], allowing you
841 to go to tab number _count._
842 - Improved: `gi` now finds text inputs inside frames.
843 - Fixed: “gi mode” is now exited properly when blurring a text input.
844 - Fixed: `<select>` elements are no longer considered to be text inputs when
845 using `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` in “gi mode.”
846 - Fixed: Using `<force>` or `<late>` in a shortcut no longer applies to _every_
847 shortcut for the command, but only that shortcut.
848 - Fixed: The order of the Previous/Next page patterns is now respected. This
849 caused the wrong link to be picked by the `[` and `]` commands on some pages.

855 ### 0.6.2 (2015-11-11)
856
857 - Improved: If the entire page isn’t scrollable, the largest scrollable element
858 is scrolled instead.
859 - Fixed: VimFx’s keyboard shortcuts now works on slowly loading pages.
860 - Fixed: Numbers may now be used as shortcut keys (overriding counts).
861 - Fixed: The toolbar button’s icon is now correctly sized in high DPI.
862 - Fixed: Hint markers are now correctly positioned when zooming using the “Zoom
863 text only” option.
864 - Fixed: The `P` command now works with the InstantFox add-on.
865
866 ### 0.6.1 (2015-11-10)
867
868 - Fixed: If you customized the “esc” command before VimFx 0.6.0 it should now
869 work as expected.
870 - Fixed: `<tab>` now works as expected in the location bar and in the dev tools.
871 - Fixed: Light-weight themes can no longer make VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
872 dialog and hint markers unreadable.
873 - Added: The [notifications\_enabled] option.
874
875 [notifications\_enabled]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/56c4b7c514ea8b58d2cdcecf3d2654648c48ca31/documentation/options.md#notifications_enabled
876
877 ### 0.6.0 (2015-11-09)
878
879 ##### Most important (breaking) changes
880
881 - VimFx now works properly with **any keyboard layout.** Users of **multiple
882 layouts** should enable the **[ignore keyboard layout] option.** #249 #259
883
884 - Features related to disabling VimFx, and to the [toolbar button]:
885
886 - **Insert Mode** has been renamed to **_Ignore_ mode.**
887 - **[Blacklisted][blacklist] sites** now **enter Ignore mode automatically,**
888 instead of being specially handled.
889 - The feature to click the toolbar button (or press `<a-V>`) to **disable
890 VimFx** has been **removed.** Use **Ignore mode** (`i`) and the
891 **[blacklist] instead.**
892 - The **toolbar button** is now **red in Ignore mode** (which also means that
893 it is red on blacklisted sites) and green otherwise (never grey anymore).
894 - The toolbar button no longer offers to (un-)blacklist the current domain.
895 (Head into VimFx’s settings page in the Add-ons Manager and add
896 `*currentdomain.com*` to the [blacklist] option yourself instead.)
897
898 (See [commit 3552282] for more information.)
899
900 - **Some default shortcuts have changed,** mostly because they conflicted with
901 standard Firefox shortcuts: #308
902
903 - `<c-J>` → `gJ`
904
905 - `<c-K>` → `gK`
906
907 - `g^` and `gH` → `g0`
908
909 `g^` now selects the first _non pinned_ tab instead, while `g0`
910 selects the first tab regardless of whether it is pinned or not. #317
911
912 - `<c-e>` (alias for `j`) and `<c-y>` (alias for `k`) have been removed.
913
914 - `<c-f>` → `<space>` and `<c-b>` → `<s-space>`
915
916 - `vf` → `zf`
917
918 This frees up `v` for future shortcuts (instead making `z` a
919 “namespace” key, just like in Vim).
920
921 - To **exit Ignore mode:** `<escape>` → `<s-escape>`. This is because Ignore
922 mode has replaced the disable feature, as well as the special blacklist
923 state (see above). Sites are likely to use `<escape>` but not `<s-escape>`.
924 (In a way, this new role of Ignore mode also means that the old (many times
925 broken) shortcut to disable VimFx (`<a-V>`) has been replaced by `i`.) #64
926 \#375 #432
927
928 - VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now help only, and more accessible.
929 To **customize keyboard shortcuts,** go to VimFx’s settings page **in the
930 Add-ons Manager,** just like you would to customize other settings. Also,
931 **commas** between every key are **no longer needed:** Type `gJ` instead of
932 `g,J`.
933
934 - For performance reasons, **Hint markers** are now placed vertically **centered
935 instead of at the top** of the element. Don’t be surprised if you see the same
936 hint repeated several times**—links that go to the same place now get the same
937 hint.** The “Smart hints” option has been removed—hints are _always_ smart
938 now, and a lot smarter than before. Finally, hints now also work in the new
939 tab page, the Add-ons Manager and the preferences page. If you want to, you
940 can read more about [the `f` commands]. \#51 #60 #176 #320 #325 #468 #471 #475
941
942 - The **`F`** command now _always_ opens tabs in new **background** tabs, while
943 **`gf`** has been added to open tabs in new **foreground** tabs. #227 #464
944
945 - **Autofocus prevention** is now **off by default.** One of VimFx’s core
946 philosophies is to be nice to your browser habits. Some find autofocus
947 prevention too big a change. Turn it on again if you like it! By the way,
948 autofocus prevention now works much more reliably and should not cause issues
949 with other extensions. #497 #541
950
951 - The **“Scroll step”** option has been **removed**. The scrolling commands that
952 used it now **work like the arrow keys instead,** and are customized just like
953 them. See [scrolling prefs] for more information.
954
955 - Speaking of scrolling, **which elements scrolls** when you use VimFx’s
956 scrolling commands **has changed.** See [scrolling commands] for more
957 information.
958
959 ##### New features
960
961 - New commands:
962
963 - `gp` pins or unpins the current tab. (Also see `g^` and `g0` mentioned
964 above.) #121
965 - `yt` duplicates the current tab. #121
966 - `0` and `^` scroll to the far left, and `$` scrolls to the far right.
967 - [`gi`] has finally been implemented. #47
968 - [Ignore mode `<s-f1>`] let you run a Normal mode command without exiting
969 Ignore mode.
970
971 - In Hints mode you can now hold ctrl and alt to change behavior of the matched
972 marker. Hold shift to temporarily make the hints see-through. See [the `f`
973 commands] for more information. #220 #421 #484
974
975 - Some commands now accept [counts]. #374
976
977 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that work inside text inputs. See the
978 [`<force>`] key for more information. #258
979
980 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that the page can override. See the
981 [`<late>`] key for more information.
982
983 - A number of [advanced options] have been added. Rather than listing everything
984 regarding them here, follow that link if you’re interested. #452 #489
985
986 - You may now, if you want to, configure VimFx through a [config file], using
987 the new [public API]. Customizing VimFx through a config file also gives extra
988 abilities, such as [site-specific options][option-overrides] and [disabling
989 certain commands on certain sites][key-overrides]. It also allows to add
990 [custom commands] \(and other extensions to extend VimFx). #158 #235 #255 #261
991 \#300 #408 #445 #490 #515
992
993 - It is now easier to customize VimFx through custom [styling]. An example is
994 changing the way hint markers look. #220 #233 #424 #432 #465
995
996 - VimFx now has [documentation] and a [wiki].
997
998 - A few new locales were added:
999
1000 - fr. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r)!
1001 - pt-BR. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)!
1002 - sv-SE. Thanks to Andreas Lindhé (@lindhe)!
1003
1004 ##### Improvements
1005
1006 - VimFx is now multi-process/Electrolysis/e10s compatible! This means that you
1007 can run VimFx on a version of Firefox with multi-process enabled without
1008 issues, and that we’re future proof for the day when Firefox becomes
1009 multi-process by default. Best of all, it also made VimFx more reliable in
1010 non-multi-process (“regular”) Firefox. #378
1011
1012 - The `[` and `]` commands are now smarter, recognizing more links to the
1013 previous/next page correctly. You may read more about [previous/next page
1014 patterns]. #396
1015
1016 - The `n` and `N` commands now notify you when they wrap around the page, or the
1017 phrase you searched for could not be found. #398
1018
1019 - _All_ shortcuts in _all modes_ can now be customized. For example, this allows
1020 you to disable VimFx’s Vim-style `<enter>` behavior in the find bar. #222 #390
1021 \#421
1022
1023 - The `p` and `P` commands are now smarter regarding whether to treat the
1024 clipboard contents as a URL or a search, by working exactly like pasting in
1025 the location bar. They also now read the selection clipboard, if available.
1026 \#353 #382
1027
1028 - VimFx’s toolbar button is now properly implemented. #303 #349 #383
1029
1030 - Most locales were updated. Thanks to our awesome [translators]!
1031
1032 ##### Minor bug fixes
1033
1034 - VimFx now works correctly in tabs dragged to other windows. #57
1035 - The `p` command is no longer broken. #494
1036 - Non-ASCII shortcut keys now work properly. #433
1037 - The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog can no longer be covered by page elements.
1038 \#477
1039 - Hint markers can no longer be covered by page elements.
1040 - VimFx no longer causes scripts on icloud.com to get stuck in an infinite loop.

1066
1067 ### 0.5.17 (2015-01-23)
1068
1069 - Fixed: The hints generation no longer crashes on some pages (regression since
1070 version 0.5.15).
1071
1072 ### 0.5.16 (2015-01-22)
1073
1074 - Fixed: The toolbar button no longer throws errors. (This fix should have been
1075 in 0.5.15 but was forgotten. Luckily an AMO reviewer found it.)
1076
1077 ### 0.5.15 (2015-01-21)
1078
1079 - Improved: This version is now forwards-compatible with the upcoming version
1080 0.6.0. Downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.14 or older might cause VimFx to crash,
1081 but downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.15 is safe.
1082 - Fixed: Non-hintchars key presses in hints mode are now suppressed. They used
1083 to be passed along to the browser, which could confusingly activate site
1084 commands.
1085 - Fixed: The 'f' command now always opens links in the same tab. Links used to
1086 be able to force a new tab or window.
1087 - Fixed: Pressing 'Esc' in the location bar now restores the URL, as is the
1088 default behaviour of Firefox. You may now also close Firefox dialogs using
1089 'Esc'.
1090 - Improved: Updated the de locale. Thanks to Alexander Haeussler!
1091 - Improved: Updated the pl locale. Thanks to morethanoneanimal!
1092
1093 ### 0.5.14 (2014-08-16)
1094
1095 - Fixed: Locales should now work properly.
1096 - Improved: Updated the zh-CN locale (@mozillazg).
1097 - Improved: Updated the de locale (@Kambfhase).
1098 - Added: Japanese locale (@pluser).
1099 - Fixed: If you switched to another tab or window while an `<input>` element
1100 was focused and then switched back, the `<input>` element got blurred, while
1101 it should have stayed focused. This caused the auto-type feature of KeePassX
1102 to break.
1103
1104 ### 0.5.13 (2014-08-02)
1105
1106 - Fixed: The vote button on StackExchange sites are now markable again.
1107 - Improved: Detection of previous/next links. Should work better on gmail now.
1108 - Fixed: It is now possible to use Enter/Return in keyboard shortcuts.
1109 - Improved: The n/N commands (etc.) now work even if you didn’t open the finbar
1110 using the VimFx command (such as the default key binding ctrl+f, or by
1111 clicking a menu item).
1112 - Improved: It is now possible to blur text inputs without sending Esc to the
1113 page, which could cause dialogs etc. to annoyingly close.
1114 - Improved: Updated the el-GR locale (@sirodoht).
1115 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention sometimes made text inputs impossible to focus
1116 until you reloaded the page.
1117 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now works on more sites than before.
1118 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now prevents _all_ automatic focusing (not
1119 just when the page loads). This makes devdocs.io much easier to use.
1120 - Added: When viewing images directly and the image has been resized to fit the
1121 screen the image is now markable, allowing you to toggle zoom on it using the
1122 keyboard.
1123 - Fixed: It is no longer possible to add conflicting shortcuts (such as adding
1124 'a' when 'af' and 'as' are already present).
1125
1126 ### 0.5.12 (2014-06-01)
1127
1128 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention got stuck sometimes, making it impossible to
1129 focus inputs.
1130
1131 ### 0.5.11 (2014-06-01)
1132
1133 - Fixed: The focus search bar command was broken.
1134 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention was broken.
1135 - Fixed: The top bar on YouTube could not be accessed by VimFx.
1136 - Fixed: You can no longer add blank hotkeys.
1137 - Improved: Tab Groups are supported.
1138 - Improved: Matching of previous/next links should be more reliable.
1139 - Improved: A few minor things.
1140
1141 ### 0.5.10 (2014-05-07)
1142
1143 - Fixed yet another bug related to the default preferences
1144
1145 ### 0.5.9 (2014-05-04)
1146
1147 - Fixed a bug with default preferences not being set
1148 - Fixed gg and G to be faster
1149
1150 ### 0.5.8 (2014-04-18)
1151
1152 - AMO Preliminary Review bug fix (sorry for such long delay)
1153
1154 ### 0.5.7 (2014-03-03)
1155
1156 - Bug fix
1157
1158 ### 0.5.6 (2014-02-26)
1159
1160 - Updated some translations
1161 - Updated pagination patterns and logic
1162
1163 ### 0.5.5 (2014-01-03)
1164
1165 - Hotfix release to address a bug that has been introduced in 0.5.4
1166
1167 ### 0.5.4 (2014-01-03)
1168
1169 - Fix for popup passthrough mode stucking
1170 - Make toolbar button click depend on current mode
1171 - Higher weight markers should not be overlapped
1172 - Refactor find mode to use Firefox native search bar
1173 - Bump minimum required Firefox version to 25
1174 - Added commands to go in the URL path
1175 - Added commands to navigate previous and next links with customizable link
1176 patterns
1177 - Use Firefox 24+ native console API
1178 - Update zh-CN localization
1179
1180 ### 0.5.3 (2013-10-16)
1181
1182 - Lots of refactoring
1183 - Insert mode (`i` command)
1184 - Follow multiple links with `af` command
1185 - Hint marker rotation with `space` while in hints mode
1186
1187 ### 0.5.1 (2013-08-21)
1188
1189 - Fixed regression with stylesheets
1190 - Updated icon
1191
