VimFx v0.20.9
[VimFx.git] / CHANGELOG.md
1 ### 0.20.9 (2017-02-21)
2
3 - Fixed: The `yy` command now works as expected in Reader Mode.
4
5 ### 0.20.8 (2017-01-14)
6
7 - Improved: The scrolling commands now scroll the closest scrollable parent of
8 the currently focused element (if it is not scrollable itself). This is
9 noticeable for Twitter’s modals, which are often scrollable. No longer any
10 need to use the `f` or `ef` commands to scroll those modals!
11
12 ### 0.20.7 (2017-01-07)
13
14 - Improved: The `[` and `]` commands now work in Google search results.
15 - Improved: You can now show the “emoji picker” of the “like” button on Facebook
16 by using the `ef` command.
17 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @interleaved!
18
19 ### 0.20.6 (2016-12-16)
20
21 - Fixed: The `'`, `g[` and `g]` commands no longer crash. (Regression since
22 0.20.5.)
23 - Fixed: The `ef` command can now focus elements in deeply nested frames again.
24 (Regression since 0.19.0.)
25 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` and `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` are now properly
26 undone when reloading a config file (`gC`).
27 - Improved: Hint markers for elements with multiline text no longer cover the
28 text.
29 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @interleaved!
30
31 ### 0.20.5 (2016-12-04)
32
33 - Fixed: Scrolling by holding `d`, `u`, `<space>` or `<s-space>` no longer goes
34 slower and slower (and finally grinding to a halt) on long pages with lots of
35 elements. (See also the [`scroll.repeat_timeout`] pref.)
36 - Improved: All config API functions now validate all their parameters properly.
37 This provides a better user experience, and, most importantly, prevents VimFx
38 from crashing on certain invalid input.
39
40 [`scroll.repeat_timeout`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/58deb3f7b7c470a4d705f1dabf7aa13e095e8d09/documentation/options.md#smooth-scrolling
41
42 ### 0.20.4 (2016-11-16)
43
44 - Fixed: The `n` and `N` commands now work in Firefox’s PDF viewer.
45 - Fixed: The `eb` command can now click the tab bar scroll buttons.
46 - Fixed: Elements marked by the `eb` command now correctly get hints based on
47 their area again.
48 - Improved: The `eb` command now favors the browser tabs and their close
49 buttons, giving them better hints.
50 - Improved: The hints given to the browser tabs by the `eb` command are now
51 consistent no matter how many tabs you have open. This means that the first
52 tab always gets the same hint, the second tab always get the same hint, and so
53 on.
54 - Improved: Hint markers are now placed next to the text of the element if
55 appropriate. For example, the hint marker for a button with centered text is
56 now placed just to the left of the text rather than at the left edge of
57 button. This is nice because it means that hint markers usually end up where
58 you were just reading.
59 - Improved: The positioning of hint markers has been fine-tuned by a pixel or so
60 in some cases.
61 - Improved: Custom styled checkboxes and radio buttons now get hint markers
62 faster (they are now found in the first pass rather than the second).
63 - Improved: Compatibility with the [Tab Center] add-on.
64 - Improved: Blurring the location bar is now more consistent. Previously, its
65 text wasn’t reset if the autocomplete popup was open when you pressed
66 `<escape>` to blur it.
67 - Fixed: An edge case where the wrong hint markers could be highlighted.
68
69 [Tab Center]: https://testpilot.firefox.com/experiments/tab-center/
70
71 ### 0.20.3 (2016-10-22)
72
73 - Improved: Full page scrolling now recognizes the fixed footer on medium.com.
74 - Fixed: Scrollable element can now be focused with the `f` command again (not
75 just with the `ef` command). (Regression since 0.19.0.)
76 - Fixed: `<escape>` is no longer accidentally leaked to the page when used to
77 blur text inputs. This allows blurring text inputs in modals without closing
78 the modal (which `<escape>` commonly does otherwise).
79
80 ### 0.20.2 (2016-10-16)
81
82 - Fixed: Text inputs and links inside frames can now be focused using hint
83 commands again. (Regression since 0.19.0.)
84 - Improved: Previously focused text inputs inside frames no longer steal the
85 focus when entering Caret mode in that frame.
86 - Improved: When several hint markers have the same hint (because their links
87 go to the same place), the _largest_ of those links is now chosen when
88 activating that hint. This might be noticeable via focus styling.
89 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @av2000ii!
90
91 ### 0.20.1 (2016-10-09)
92
93 - Improved: Caret mode is now a bit more robust. It can no longer make you end
94 up with [Firefox’s own Caret mode] accidentally enabled.
95 - Improved: If you try use for example `<ctrl>-j` as a keyboard shortcut, VimFx
96 will now tell you that you probably want `<c-j>` instead.
97 - Fixed: Using a keyboard shortcut to switch keyboard layout in GNOME while
98 inside a text input no longer causes the focus of that text input to be lost
99 when the Prevent autofocus option is enabled.
100 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @av2000ii!
101
102 [Firefox’s own Caret mode]: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Accessibility_features_of_Firefox#Allow_text_to_be_selected_with_the_keyboard
103
104 ### 0.20.0 (2016-10-02)
105
106 - Added: The `g[` and `g]` commands, which let you scroll to previous and next
107 scroll positions of the current page. This is similar to Vim’s jump list.
108 - Added: The `/` mark. Pressing `'/` takes you to the scroll position before the
109 last `/`, `a/` or `g/`.
110 - Fixed: Pressing `''` multiple times in a row now flips back and forth
111 between two scroll positions as expected.
112 - Fixed: Version 0.19.0 claimed to include the following improvement: “The hint
113 marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for a larger
114 element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).” However, a silly
115 mistake caused that improvement not to work. Now it does. For real.
116 - Fixed: All VimFx commands that copy text to the clipboard are now made sure to
117 also copy to the “selection clipboard” (if your system has such a thing). For
118 example, if you copy text using the `yv` command, the `p` command now uses
119 that copied text as expected.
120
121 ### 0.19.1 (2016-09-26)
122
123 - Fixed: The `'` command no longer crashes. (Regression since 0.19.0.)
124
125 ### 0.19.0 (2016-09-25)
126
127 #### Changes and improvements to Hints mode
128
129 **New feature:** Hint markers can now be filtered by element text, similar to
130 Vimium, Vimperator and Pentadactyl. This is useful for people who simply prefer
131 that workflow, and for clicking tiny pagination links (simply type its number!).
132
133 By default, filtering by element text is done by typing _uppercase_ characters
134 (hold down shift!). All characters other than the hint characters are now used
135 to filter hint markers by element text (rather than just being ignored). Do you
136 prefer filtering by element text, but dislike typing uppercase letters? Have a
137 look at how [hint characters] work to make things the other way around!
138
139 The markers with the best hint are now highlighted with a different color. You
140 may at any time press `<enter>` to activate those markers (or `<c-enter>` or
141 `<a-enter>` to change where and how to open links, just like you can hold ctrl
142 or alt for the last hint character).
143
144 Because of the above new features, the following default **Hints mode shortcuts
145 had to be changed:**
146
147 - `<space>` → `<c-space>` (`<s-space>` is left untouched)
148 - `<s->` → `<c-s->` (hold ctrl _and_ shift to peek through hint markers)
149 - `<enter>` → `<up>`
150 - `<c-enter>` → `<c-backspace>`
151
152 To make it easier to see the element text, hint markers are now nudged to the
153 left if they cover the text.
154
155 Other hint marker improvements:
156
157 - Hint markers are now 20% smaller by default. While trying to match text sizes
158 set by your operating system, they ended up a bit too large on most systems.
159 Check out the [Styling] documentation if you’d like to change the font size.
160 - Hint markers now have stronger contrast between the background color and the
161 text color, which should make them easier to read.
162 - The CSS for hint markers have been improved, making it easier to use custom
163 [Styling].
164 - When several elements have the same area, the best hint is now correctly given
165 to the _first_ of those elements. Previously, it happened to be the other way
166 around.
167 - The hint marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for
168 a larger element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).
169 - Hint markers are now better positioned when having zoomed the page in or out.
170 - Hints mode is now more robust in general. Several race conditions have been
171 fixed.

175
176 #### Other updates
177
178 - Added: The ability to **export, import and reset all** VimFx options. There
179 are three shiny new buttons for this in VimFx’s options page in the Add-ons
180 Manager!
181 - Added: The `gB` command, which lets you **quickly blacklist** (and
182 un-blacklist) sites.
183 - Added: The `ec` command, for opening the context menu of elements.
184 - Added: The `ep` command, for opening links in new private windows.
185 - Improved: `h`, `l`, `j` and `k` now feel more like scrolling with the arrow
186 keys when held down, by boosting the scrolling speed. See the
187 [`scroll.horizontal_boost` and `scroll.vertical_boost`][scroll-boost] options
188 for more information.
189 - Fixed: VimFx’s find bar integration is now much more robust. Most notably, if
190 you start typing directly after pressing `/` and Firefox is slow at opening
191 the find bar, your keypresses can no longer trigger VimFx commands or Firefox
192 built-in commands.
193 - Improved: VimFx no longer leaks keypresses to the web page in some modes. (For
194 example, counts in Caret mode).
195 - Improved: The `eb` command now finds more clickable elements in the devtools.
196 - Changed: `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` no longer lets you easily break for example
197 Hints mode, by now only being applied to Normal mode. You might need to change
198 your matchers from `(location, mode) => ...` to simply `location => ...`.
199 (Breaking API change.)
200 - Changed: The object passed to custom commands (and custom modes) no longer
201 contains a `uiEvent` property. Instead, there’s an `event` property. This
202 property can be used the same way if you check `vim.isUIEvent(event)` first.
203 (Breaking API change.)
204
205 [scroll-boost]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8bafdf0454043c1630bac8b13d13f1fb4e5ee9e7/documentation/options.md#scrollhorizontal_boost-and-scrollvertical_boost
206
207 ### 0.18.1 (2016-08-27)
208
209 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` no longer crashes on startup.
210 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` can now override the `prevent_autofocus`
211 pref again.
212
213 ### 0.18.0 (2016-08-20)
214
215 #### Changed default shortcuts
216
217 Some default keyboard shortcuts have been changed.
218
219 - Hint commands. Many of the old ones were difficult to remember, and there was
220 no space for adding new ones.
221
222 - `gf` → `et` (t as in tab)
223 - `gF` → `ew` (w as in window)
224 - `zf` → `ef` (f as in focus)
225 - `zF` → `eb` (b as in browser)
226 - `zv` → `av` (you actually select _all_ of the element’s text)
227
228 (`f`, `yf`, `af`, `v` and `yv` stay unchanged.)
229
230 There is a longer [explanation of these new defaults][hint-shortcuts] in the
231 documentation.
232
233 - `zr` → `gC`. `zr` was the only shortcut starting with `z`. This frees that key
234 up for other uses.
235
236 - `` ` `` → `'`. The `` ` `` shortcut (“scroll to mark”) as well as the `` ` ``
237 mark (“last position mark”) have both been changed to `'`. Both `` ` `` and
238 `'` are used in Vim. `'` is a better default, because it is easier to
239 type–both on an en-US QWERTY keyboard and, more importantly, on some
240 international layouts, such as the sv-SE QWERTY layout.
241
242 Note: If you miss Firefox’s default `'` shortcut to open the Quick Find bar
243 (which is now overridden), remember that VimFx provides `g/` which does the
244 same thing. (You can of course also change VimFx’s shortcuts.)
245
246 See also issue [#788].

249 [#788]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/issues/788
250
251 #### Other updates
252
253 - Added: It is now possible to create [custom hint commands].
254 - Fixed: The bottom-right corner of the page scrollbars can now be used with the
255 mouse again.
256 - Fixed: The toolbar button now correctly toggles VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts
257 dialog again.
258 - Updated locales: fr, ru. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r) and Nicholas
259 Guriev (@mymedia2)!
260
261 [custom hint commands]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/e8d9df31dd5c8df999ac22e3b3b8d548a68c6fa7/documentation/api.md#custom-hint-commands
262
263 ### 0.17.4 (2016-07-11)
264
265 - Improved: The usage of modifier keys in Hints mode is now shown in VimFx’s
266 Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog. The functionality has been there for a long
267 time, but should now be easier to find. Thanks to our awesome translators,
268 the new help text is already available in most supported locales!
269 - Improved: If you submit a form while still being inside one of its text
270 inputs, that text input is now automatically blurred. This lets you use VimFx
271 commands while waiting for the form to submit without having to press
272 `<escape>` first.
273 - Improved: The `gu` command now works better on some pages, by preserving a
274 trailing slash. Thanks to @sinkuu!
275 - Improved: VimFx now recognizes text areas in the TYPO3 CMS.
276 - Improved: The `<escape>` command and the toolbar button now let you escape
277 back to Normal mode if VimFx ever gets stuck thinking that you are typing in a
278 text input.
279
280 ### 0.17.3 (2016-06-27)
281
282 - Improved: The `zF` command can now open even more dropdown menus of buttons.
283
284 ### 0.17.2 (2016-06-19)
285
286 - Improved: The `zF` command now works with more buttons and is able to open
287 dropdown menus of buttons.
288 - Fixed: The `f` commands now recognize more file upload buttons.
289 - Fixed: Rotating hint markers now works more as expected after having entered a
290 few hint chars.
291 - Fixed: Scrolling now works in SVG documents.
292 - Fixed: Opening links in new tabs in Firefox 50.
293 - Updated locales: pt-BR and ru. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)
294 and Nicholas Guriev (@mymedia2)!
295
296 ### 0.17.1 (2016-06-12)
297
298 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer accidentally double-clicks instead of
299 single-clicking. Thanks to Alan Wu (@XrXr)!
300 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer crashes in Firefox 49+.
301 - Fixed: The “URL popup,” shown when hovering or focusing links, now appears
302 again when focusing links using `zf` (regression since 0.17.0).
303 - Updated locale: it. Thanks to Carlo Bertoldi (@cbertoldi)!
304
305 ### 0.17.0 (2016-06-08)
306
307 - Fixed: VimFx no longer scrolls smaller elements on a page instead of the
308 entire page on some sites.
309 - Improved: The `/`, `n` and `N` have been drastically sped up (when
310 [`find_from_top_of_viewport`][find_from_top_of_viewport-1] is on). Previously,
311 they appeared to freeze on some sites, but not anymore.
312 - Improved: You can no longer accidentally trigger VimFx between pressing `/`
313 and the find bar input being is focused.
314 - Improved: The `n` and `N` commands are now more robust.
315 - Improved: “Fullscreen” buttons and “Copy to clipboard” buttons can now be
316 activated the `f` command. Thanks to Alan Wu (@XrXr)!
317 - Changed: After having pressed `m` or `` ` `` VimFx no longer waits
318 indefinitely for you to press a mark key. Instead, the [timeout] option is
319 honored.
320 - Changed: After having pressed `m` or `` ` `` you can now press `<escape>` to
321 abort those commands.
322 - Changed: Find mode is no longer shown in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
323 dialog, to reduce clutter. (This can be changed through custom
324 [styling][styling-1].)
325 - Changed: The `?` command as well as the toolbar button now _toggle_ VimFx’s
326 Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (instead of always showing it, even if it was
327 already shown.)
328 - Changed: Counts are now ignored in Ignore mode. Previously, pressing number
329 keys would both send those key presses to the page _and_ contribute to the
330 count for commands (showing up in the bottom-right corner). This is no longer
331 the case.
332 - Updated locales: fr, zh-CN and zh-TW. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r),
333 @av2000ii and Robert Wang (@cyberrob)!

338
339 ### 0.16.1 (2016-05-29)
340
341 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer crashes (regression since 0.16.0).
342
343 ### 0.16.0 (2016-05-29)
344
345 - Fixed: The text input focus detection problems introduced in 0.15.1, which
346 sometimes caused VimFx commands to be triggered while typing in text inputs,
347 have been fixed.
348 - Improved: If you press `n` or `N` when there are are no matches for your
349 search, the find bar is no longer opened. Only a notification is shown. The
350 reliability of those notifications has also been improved.
351 - Improved: Hints mode now finds more links.
352 - Improved: Pressing `<c-enter>` in Hints mode now includes more elements.
353 - Updated locales: es, zh-CN. Thanks to @strel and @av2000ii!
354
355 ### 0.15.1 (2016-05-22)
356
357 - Improved: Better hints on Twitter.
358 - Improved: Compatibility with the [Evernote Web Clipper] add-on (and
359 potentially other add-ons with similar UI).
360 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!
361
362 [Evernote Web Clipper]: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/evernote-web-clipper/
363
364 ### 0.15.0 (2016-05-18)
365
366 - Improved: Hint markers now appear up to twice as fast on many pages. This is
367 done by creating the hint markers in two phases. Most are created in the
368 first, fast, phase. The rest take the same time as older VimFx versions to
369 show up.
370 - Fixed: VimFx no longer triggers commands while typing in fancy text inputs on
371 some sites, such as when composing a new tweet on Twitter. (See also the
372 [`blur_timeout`] pref.)
373 - Changed: The `<c-enter>` Hints mode command no longer _replaces_ all hint
374 markers on screen (with new ones for all elements on screen). Instead, it
375 _toggles_ your current hint markers with ones for all _other_ elements on
376 screen.
377 - Changed: There was a breaking change to the [`vimfx.setHintMatcher`] function
378 of the `frame.js` config file API. It no longer receives and returns an object
379 (of the shape `{type, semantic}`), but instead simply receives and returns the
380 `type` of the element.
381 - Improved: Some internal robustness refactoring.
382 - Updated locales: de, id, nl and zh-CN. Thanks to @just-barcodes, Yoppy
383 Halilintar (@comepradz), @HJTP, @av2000ii and @mozillazg.

387
388 ### 0.14.3 (2016-05-08)
389
390 - Fixed: Version 0.14.2 attempted to fix smooth scrolling speed in newer Firefox
391 versions. However, there was a tiny typo that caused the fix not to work. That
392 typo has been corrected.
393
394 ### 0.14.2 (2016-05-08)
395
396 - Fixed: Smooth scrolling speed is now correct again in newer Firefox versions.
397 - Fixed: The `yv` Caret mode command now only copies text that you can see on
398 screen (not any hidden text that might be on the page), making it truly work
399 like `zv` followed by `y`, as intended. This problem was very noticeable on
400 Slack. This also improves copying of 'contenteditable' elements using `yf`.
401 - Fixed: `<escape>` and arrow key handling as well as hint markers in the
402 devtools now work correctly again in newer Firefox versions.
403 - Fixed: VimFx no longer makes it impossible to open the Developer Toolbar.
404 - Improved: VimFx now ignores `<numlock>` and `<capslock>`. If your keyboard
405 sends `<numlock>` before some symbols, such as `<numlock>$` instead of just
406 `$`, shortcuts like `gx$` now work out of the box. This also means that you
407 can use `<capslock>` instead of `<shift>` when typing the `J` in `gJ`, for
408 example.
409 - Improved: Some minor cosmetic tweaks in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
410 dialog.
411
412 ### 0.14.1 (2016-04-30)
413
414 - Fixed: The Find commands (such as `/`, `n` and `N`) no longer crash on some
415 sites (regression since 0.14.0).
416
417 ### 0.14.0 (2016-04-29)
418
419 - Added: [Caret mode], which lets you copy text from web pages using the
420 keyboard.
421 - Improved: The Find commands (such as `/`, `n` and `N`) now search from the top
422 of the viewport, instead of from the top of the document, which is more
423 Vim-like and less disorienting. To read more about it (or to return to the
424 Firefox default behavior) please see the [`find_from_top_of_viewport`] pref.
425 - Improved: Compatibility with the [BackTrack Tab History] add-on.
426 - Added: The `<c-enter>` Hints mode command, which creates hint markers for
427 _all_ elements.
428 - Fixed: `__dirname` inside config files now works on Windows. Thanks to
429 Zhong Jianxin (@azuwis)!
430 - Fixed: Unnecessary full-page hint markers on some sites, such as Hackernews,
431 no longer appear.

437 ### 0.13.2 (2016-04-08)
438
439 - Improved: The “last position mark” `` ` `` now works more reliably.
440 - Improved: More video players are now recognized. Many video players lets you
441 press `<space>` while focused to toggle play/pause. VimFx tries to detect if
442 the currently focused element is a video player. If so, `<space>` is passed to
443 the video player instead of scrolling the page. (For those interested, see
444 also the [`adjustable_element_keys`] pref.)

447
448 ### 0.13.1 (2016-04-01)
449
450 - Fixed: Blacklisting of some XUL pages.
451 - Fixed: The current mode is no longer lost when a page loads. For example, if
452 you press `zF` while a page is loading, the markers no longer disappear.
453 - Fixed: Elements that you have focused using an `f` command no longer get stuck
454 appearing as if you’d put the mouse pointer.
455 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @mozillazg!
456
457 ### 0.13.0 (2016-03-19)
458
459 - Added: The `T` command, which opens a new tab after the current.
460 - Changed: The `gl` command now deals with _visited_ tabs only.
461 - Added: The [`gL`] command, which deals with <em>un</em>visited tabs only, in
462 oldest-first order. Use this to step through your unvisited background tabs in
463 the order you opened them (for example using the `F` command).
464 - Improved: The `gi` command no longer tries to focus the last focused text
465 input if it has been removed from the page. If so, it finds a new one instead.
466 - Fixed: You can now type in sidebar text inputs (such as in the history
467 sidebar) without having to switch to Ignore mode.
468 - Changed: If you enter Ignore mode you will now stay in Ignore mode in that tab
469 until you explicitly exit it (by pressing `<s-escape>`), even if you reload
470 the page or follow a link. If Ignore mode was entered automatically because of
471 the [blacklist][blacklist-2], though, you will be automatically returned to
472 Normal mode if
473 the URL changes to a non-blacklisted page.
474 - Added: VimFx can now automatically enter and exit Ignore mode based on the
475 currently focused element. Currently, the [wasavi] extension as well as
476 [CodeMirror] in Vim mode are detected. Both of those provide Vim-style
477 editors. This allows sending `<escape>` to those editors in order to exit
478 their Insert mode, without blurring the editor.
479 - Improved: CodeMirror editors now get better hints, keeping the cursor where
480 you left it.
481 - Improved: The [blacklist][blacklist-2] is now applied faster on some pages.
482 - Improved: Many audio and video elements are now recognized as “adjustable”,
483 allowing you to press for example `<space>` on them to toggle play/pause,
484 without scrolling the page.
485 - Improved: Scrolling by pages, such as using the `<space>` command, now takes
486 fixed heaears and footers into account, just like Firefox does.
487 - Fixed: Access keys now work correctly in context menus in the devtools and
488 `about:config`.
489 - Improved: The arrow keys now Just Work in the devtools, even if you have bound
490 them to VimFx commands.
491 - Changed: The public API has been removed, and turned into the Config file API.
492 If you were already using a config file, it will no longer work. You need to
493 set up a new one, but you should be able to simply copy and paste the contents
494 of the old one into the new one. Read the [config file] documentation for more
495 information.
496 - Changed: There are a few minor breaking changes to the API, though I doubt it
497 will affect anyone.
498 - If you use [`vimfx.on`], you probably need to adjust the arguments of the
499 your callbacks. They are now _always_ passed an object of data, instead of
500 sometimes passing the data directly.
501 - `match.focus` of [match object]s has been removed, and replaced by
502 `vim.focusType` of [vim object]s.
503 - Fixed: The toolbar button’s icon is now correctly sized when setting
504 `layout.css.devPixelsPerPx` to `2`. Thanks to Robert Ma (@Hexcles) and Dale
505 Whinham (@dwhinham)!
506 - Fixed: Find commands now work when the find bar was opened before the page had
507 finished loading.
508 - Improved: Lots of internal improvements. This should make VimFx faster, more
509 reliable and more responsive.
510 - All keyboard event handling (except `<late>` shortcuts) are now handled in
511 the UI process, instead of mostly in each tab’s web page content process.
512 This should make VimFx’s shortcuts more reliable and responsive.
513 - Removed all synchronous message passing (execpt for `<late>` keypresses).
514 Mozilla recommends using them only where absolutely necessary. Turns out
515 VimFx doesn’t need them anymore!
516 - The `f` commands are now more reliable. Before, they could crash on rare
517 occasions (on certain web pages), but that is less likely now.
518 - Less `MutationObserver`s are now used. This should improve performance.
519 - Less uncaught errors (especially on shutdown).
520 - Lots of minor improvements.
521 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!

531
532 ### 0.12.0 (2016-02-03)
533
534 - Improved: More clickable elements are now recognized. Most notably, elements
535 with click event listeners added by JavaScript now get hints.
536 - Improved: Autofocus prevention after using the `[` and `]` commands.
537 - Added: In VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (which can be opened by
538 pressing `?`) you can now click on any command to open VimFx’s settings page
539 in the Add-ons Manager and automatically select the text input for that
540 command, letting you edit its shortcuts. Tip: Use the `zF` command to click
541 without using the mouse.
542 - Changed: Autofocus is no longer prevented in Firefox internal pages, such as
543 `about:preferences`, `about:addons` and `about:config` (as well as other XUL
544 pages).
545 - Fixed: VimFx and the Beyond Australis extension do not conflict with each
546 other anymore.
547 - Fixed: The `gH` command no longer nags you about “No back/forward history”
548 even though there is.
549 - Added: The `gl` command now takes a [count][gl-count].
550 - Improved: Optimized CPU usage in Hints mode. (See also the [`hints_sleep`]
551 pref.)
552 - Improved: The `H` and `L` commands should now be more reliable in Firefox 43
553 and later.
554 - Changed: There was a tiny breaking change to the Public API, though I doubt it
555 will affect anyone. (See [commit 0ca807605e] if you’re especially interested.)
556 - Improved: _Several_ minor things, and some really nice internal refactoring.
557 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
558
559 [`hints_sleep`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/92b483c4a4f6da0b2c998267e0f01d3d999f93b6/documentation/options.md#hints_sleep

562
563 ### 0.11.0 (2016-01-15)
564
565 - Fixed: The `` ` `` command is no longer broken.
566 - Fixed: Memory leak.
567 - Added: The `gl` command, which takes you to the most recent tab.
568 - Improved: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now scrollable using VimFx’s
569 scrolling commands. To allow for this, the search field is no longer
570 autofocused. Instead, press `/` to open it.
571 - Improved: Using the `f` commands, such as `f` and `zf`, now works like
572 actually moving your mouse onto the link, making hover menus and such-like
573 appear.
574 - Improved: VimFx should now work better with Google Drive Documents, Etherpad
575 and a few other fancy text editors.
576 - Improved: The `]` command now works on google.com.
577 - Improved: Checkboxes and menu items on gmail.com are now given hints by the
578 `f` command.
579 - Improved: The `gi` command now also recognizes 'contenteditable' elements.
580 - Improved: Hint markers now move along together with their elements.
581 - Fixed: Hint markers should now be correctly positioned when zooming.
582 - Fixed: The toolbar button icon should now look correctly on Retina screens.
583 - Added: You may now disable counts by using toggling the [`counts_enabled`]
584 pref.
585 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
586 - Improved: Several minor things.
587
588 [`counts_enabled`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8dae7aec9008595da31b939d5ae2d239849cf6dc/documentation/options.md#counts_enabled
589
590 ### 0.10.0 (2015-12-09)
591
592 - Added: The `zF` command, which lets you click browser elements.
593 - Improved: The scrolling commands can now scroll browser elements (in other
594 words, not only web page content), by first selecting the scollable element
595 using `zF`.
596 - Added: The `gr` command, which toggles [Reader View].
597 - Added: The `gX` command, which opens the Recently Closed Tabs menu at the
598 middle of the screen.
599 - Added: The keys you’ve typed so far of a command, as well the count, are now
600 shown in a [notification]. (You may disable this using the
601 [`notify_entered_keys`] pref.)
602 - Improved: When commands don’t do anything, they show a [notification] instead,
603 letting you know that you actually pressed the right keys. For example, if you
604 press `f` but there are no markable elements visible, a notification is shown
605 telling you so, instead of silently doing nothing.
606 - Improved: `<space>` now scrolls _about a line less_ than a full page, just
607 like Firefox does by default. `d` scroll about _half_ a line less (by
608 default), so that pressing `d` twice works like pressing `<space>` once. (See
609 the [`scroll.full_page_adjustment` and `scroll.half_page_adjustment`] prefs
610 for more information.)
611 - Improved: `gi` now only selects all text in its text input if you haven’t
612 focused a text input yet (allowing you to easily replace pre-filled text),
613 instead of _always_ doing so. Otherwise, it now puts the cursor where you left
614 off typing the last time.
615 - Fixed: The `f` commands now put the cursor where you left off typing the last
616 time when focusing a text input. Previously, they accidentally selected all
617 text in the text input (use `zf` for that behavior).
618 - Fixed: Yet a scrolling fix. VimFx’s scrolling commands should now “just work”
619 on even more sites.
620 - Fixed: AltGr should now work out of the box on Windows. (See the
621 [`ignore_ctrl_alt`] pref for more information.)
622 - Removed: The el-GR, hu and pl locales were sadly too out of date to be useful,
623 and nobody has shown interest in updating them, so they were removed.
624 - Updated locales: id, de and zh-CN. Thanks to Yoppy Halilintar, @just-barcodes
625 and @mozillazg!
626 - Fixed: Several tiny bugs.

633
634 ### 0.9.0 (2015-12-02)
635
636 - Fixed: Links with the `onclick` attribute can now be opened in new tabs again.
637 (Regression since 0.8.0.)
638 - Fixed: The text size in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now
639 correctly resized.
640 - Added: The `gH` command. It opens the back/forward button context menu in the
641 middle of the window, allowing you to choose a history entry with the arrow
642 keys and `<enter>`.
643
644 ### 0.8.0 (2015-12-01)
645
646 - Fixed: VimFx now works properly in tabs moved to other windows.
647 - Fixed: An unreliable check for multi-process mode has been eliminated, fixing
648 various problems for some users.
649 - Fixed: VimFx’s toolbar button now changes color correctly when switching
650 between blacklisted and non-blacklisted tabs.
651 - Fixed: Dead keys now work out of the box on Windows.
652 - Improved: Links with the `onclick` attribute (abused as buttons) can no longer
653 get the same hint as another link.
654 - Added: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (shown by pressing `?`) is now
655 searchable.
656 - Added: The `g/` command. It’s like `/` but searches links only.
657
658 - Added: [Marks].
659
660 - Use `ma` to mark the current scroll position and `` `a `` to return to it.
661 (You may substitute `a` with any key press.)
662 - Use ``` `` ``` to return to the position before the last `gg`, `G`, `0`,
663 `$`, `/`, `n`, `N` or `` ` ``. (You can change this mark using the
664 [`last_scroll_position_mark`] pref.)
665
666 - Added: Window commands.
667
668 - `w`: Open new window.
669 - `W`: Open new private window.
670 - `gw`: Move tab to new window.
671 - `gF`: Follow link in new window.
672
673 [Marks]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/47fc699ce8217ee90af4d12e81f102f2bea09d61/documentation/commands.md#marks-m-and-

675
676 ### 0.7.3 (2015-11-22)
677
678 - Fixed: Scrolling now works correctly in pages in quirks mode (lacking a
679 doctype), such as Hackernews.
680 - Improved: The largest scrollable element is now detected better in frames.
681 - Fixed: Hints mode now exits correctly when focusing a text input using `af`,
682 or `f` with a count.
683
684 ### 0.7.2 (2015-11-21)
685
686 - Fixed: The blinking text caret now always appears correctly when focusing text
687 inputs.
688
689 ### 0.7.1 (2015-11-21)
690
691 - Fixed: The scrolling commands should now “just work” when using non-default
692 zoom or DPI settings, most notably on Google Groups.
693
694 ### 0.7.0 (2015-11-19)
695
696 - Changed: Instead of using system notifications, which turned out to be a bit
697 too intrusive, [notifications] are now similar to the “URL popup” (shown when
698 hovering or focusing links) but are placed on the opposite side,.
699 - Changed: The “Focus next element” and “Focus previous element” commands have
700 been removed. The reason they existed was to let `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` only
701 cycle between text inputs (as opposed to _all_ focusable elements) after
702 you’ve pressed `gi`. Now, `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` are handled specially instead,
703 and _only_ after pressing `gi`. The reason for this change is that the now
704 removed commands were too intrusive, breaking user habits. One of VimFx’s main
705 goal is _not_ to do that. (You can turn the special handling of `<tab>` and
706 `<s-tab>` off using the the new [`focus_previous_key` and `focus_next_key`]
707 prefs.)
708 - Fixed: The scrolling commands should now “just work” in a lot more situations,
709 most notably on Gmail and Google Groups. More scrollable elements are also
710 recognized by the `f` and `zf` commands.
711 - Improved: The right border of hint markers for scrollable elements is now
712 styled to remind of a scroll bar, making them easier to recognize among hints
713 for links.
714 - Improved/Changed: `J` and `gJ` now allow a count on the first tab.
715 Consequently, `K` and `gK` now allow a count on the _last_ tab.
716 - Changed: `gJ` and `gK` can no longer be used to pin or unpin tabs. They now
717 only wrap around tabs of the same pinned state. Use `gp` to toggle between
718 pinned and non-pinned.
719 - Fixed: Many elements that got a hint before VimFx 0.6.0 now do again.
720 - Improved: Comment fields on Facebook can now be focused using `f` and blurred
721 using `<escape>`.
722 - Improved: VimFx’s toolbar button is no greyed out when you focus a text input.
723 This is to show that your key presses will be passed into the text input
724 rather than activating VimFx commands.
725 - Added: [`g0`, `g^` and `g$` now accept counts][tab-index-counts], allowing you
726 to go to tab number _count._
727 - Improved: `gi` now finds text inputs inside frames.
728 - Fixed: “gi mode” is now exited properly when blurring a text input.
729 - Fixed: `<select>` elements are no longer considered to be text inputs when
730 using `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` in “gi mode.”
731 - Fixed: Using `<force>` or `<late>` in a shortcut no longer applies to _every_
732 shortcut for the command, but only that shortcut.
733 - Fixed: The order of the Previous/Next page patterns is now respected. This
734 caused the wrong link to be picked by the `[` and `]` commands on some pages.

739
740 ### 0.6.2 (2015-11-11)
741
742 - Improved: If the entire page isn’t scrollable, the largest scrollable element
743 is scrolled instead.
744 - Fixed: VimFx’s keyboard shortcuts now works on slowly loading pages.
745 - Fixed: Numbers may now be used as shortcut keys (overriding counts).
746 - Fixed: The toolbar button’s icon is now correctly sized in high DPI.
747 - Fixed: Hint markers are now correctly positioned when zooming using the “Zoom
748 text only” option.
749 - Fixed: The `P` command now works with the InstantFox add-on.
750
751 ### 0.6.1 (2015-11-10)
752
753 - Fixed: If you customized the “esc” command before VimFx 0.6.0 it should now
754 work as expected.
755 - Fixed: `<tab>` now works as expected in the location bar and in the dev tools.
756 - Fixed: Light-weight themes can no longer make VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
757 dialog and hint markers unreadable.
758 - Added: The [notifications\_enabled] option.
759
760 [notifications\_enabled]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/56c4b7c514ea8b58d2cdcecf3d2654648c48ca31/documentation/options.md#notifications_enabled
761
762 ### 0.6.0 (2015-11-09)
763
764 ##### Most important (breaking) changes
765
766 - VimFx now works properly with **any keyboard layout.** Users of **multiple
767 layouts** should enable the **[ignore keyboard layout] option.** #249 #259
768
769 - Features related to disabling VimFx, and to the [toolbar button]:
770
771 - **Insert Mode** has been renamed to **_Ignore_ mode.**
772 - **[Blacklisted][blacklist] sites** now **enter Ignore mode automatically,**
773 instead of being specially handled.
774 - The feature to click the toolbar button (or press `<a-V>`) to **disable
775 VimFx** has been **removed.** Use **Ignore mode** (`i`) and the
776 **[blacklist] instead.**
777 - The **toolbar button** is now **red in Ignore mode** (which also means that
778 it is red on blacklisted sites) and green otherwise (never grey anymore).
779 - The toolbar button no longer offers to (un-)blacklist the current domain.
780 (Head into VimFx’s settings page in the Add-ons Manager and add
781 `*currentdomain.com*` to the [blacklist] option yourself instead.)
782
783 (See [commit 3552282] for more information.)
784
785 - **Some default shortcuts have changed,** mostly because they conflicted with
786 standard Firefox shortcuts: #308
787
788 - `<c-J>` → `gJ`
789
790 - `<c-K>` → `gK`
791
792 - `g^` and `gH` → `g0`
793
794 `g^` now selects the first _non pinned_ tab instead, while `g0`
795 selects the first tab regardless of whether it is pinned or not. #317
796
797 - `<c-e>` (alias for `j`) and `<c-y>` (alias for `k`) have been removed.
798
799 - `<c-f>` → `<space>` and `<c-b>` → `<s-space>`
800
801 - `vf` → `zf`
802
803 This frees up `v` for future shortcuts (instead making `z` a
804 “namespace” key, just like in Vim).
805
806 - To **exit Ignore mode:** `<escape>` → `<s-escape>`. This is because Ignore
807 mode has replaced the disable feature, as well as the special blacklist
808 state (see above). Sites are likely to use `<escape>` but not `<s-escape>`.
809 (In a way, this new role of Ignore mode also means that the old (many times
810 broken) shortcut to disable VimFx (`<a-V>`) has been replaced by `i`.) #64
811 \#375 #432
812
813 - VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now help only, and more accessible.
814 To **customize keyboard shortcuts,** go to VimFx’s settings page **in the
815 Add-ons Manager,** just like you would to customize other settings. Also,
816 **commas** between every key are **no longer needed:** Type `gJ` instead of
817 `g,J`.
818
819 - For performance reasons, **Hint markers** are now placed vertically **centered
820 instead of at the top** of the element. Don’t be surprised if you see the same
821 hint repeated several times**—links that go to the same place now get the same
822 hint.** The “Smart hints” option has been removed—hints are _always_ smart
823 now, and a lot smarter than before. Finally, hints now also work in the new
824 tab page, the Add-ons Manager and the preferences page. If you want to, you
825 can read more about [the `f` commands]. \#51 #60 #176 #320 #325 #468 #471 #475
826
827 - The **`F`** command now _always_ opens tabs in new **background** tabs, while
828 **`gf`** has been added to open tabs in new **foreground** tabs. #227 #464
829
830 - **Autofocus prevention** is now **off by default.** One of VimFx’s core
831 philosophies is to be nice to your browser habits. Some find autofocus
832 prevention too big a change. Turn it on again if you like it! By the way,
833 autofocus prevention now works much more reliably and should not cause issues
834 with other extensions. #497 #541
835
836 - The **“Scroll step”** option has been **removed**. The scrolling commands that
837 used it now **work like the arrow keys instead,** and are customized just like
838 them. See [scrolling prefs] for more information.
839
840 - Speaking of scrolling, **which elements scrolls** when you use VimFx’s
841 scrolling commands **has changed.** See [scrolling commands] for more
842 information.
843
844 ##### New features
845
846 - New commands:
847
848 - `gp` pins or unpins the current tab. (Also see `g^` and `g0` mentioned
849 above.) #121
850 - `yt` duplicates the current tab. #121
851 - `0` and `^` scroll to the far left, and `$` scrolls to the far right.
852 - [`gi`] has finally been implemented. #47
853 - [Ignore mode `<s-f1>`] let you run a Normal mode command without exiting
854 Ignore mode.
855
856 - In Hints mode you can now hold ctrl and alt to change behavior of the matched
857 marker. Hold shift to temporarily make the hints see-through. See [the `f`
858 commands] for more information. #220 #421 #484
859
860 - Some commands now accept [counts]. #374
861
862 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that work inside text inputs. See the
863 [`<force>`] key for more information. #258
864
865 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that the page can override. See the
866 [`<late>`] key for more information.
867
868 - A number of [advanced options] have been added. Rather than listing everything
869 regarding them here, follow that link if you’re interested. #452 #489
870
871 - You may now, if you want to, configure VimFx through a [config file], using
872 the new [public API]. Customizing VimFx through a config file also gives extra
873 abilities, such as [site-specific options][option-overrides] and [disabling
874 certain commands on certain sites][key-overrides]. It also allows to add
875 [custom commands] \(and other extensions to extend VimFx). #158 #235 #255 #261
876 \#300 #408 #445 #490 #515
877
878 - It is now easier to customize VimFx through custom [styling]. An example is
879 changing the way hint markers look. #220 #233 #424 #432 #465
880
881 - VimFx now has [documentation] and a [wiki].
882
883 - A few new locales were added:
884
885 - fr. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r)!
886 - pt-BR. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)!
887 - sv-SE. Thanks to Andreas Lindhé (@lindhe)!
888
889 ##### Improvements
890
891 - VimFx is now multi-process/Electrolysis/e10s compatible! This means that you
892 can run VimFx on a version of Firefox with multi-process enabled without
893 issues, and that we’re future proof for the day when Firefox becomes
894 multi-process by default. Best of all, it also made VimFx more reliable in
895 non-multi-process (“regular”) Firefox. #378
896
897 - The `[` and `]` commands are now smarter, recognizing more links to the
898 previous/next page correctly. You may read more about [previous/next page
899 patterns]. #396
900
901 - The `n` and `N` commands now notify you when they wrap around the page, or the
902 phrase you searched for could not be found. #398
903
904 - _All_ shortcuts in _all modes_ can now be customized. For example, this allows
905 you to disable VimFx’s Vim-style `<enter>` behavior in the find bar. #222 #390
906 \#421
907
908 - The `p` and `P` commands are now smarter regarding whether to treat the
909 clipboard contents as a URL or a search, by working exactly like pasting in
910 the location bar. They also now read the selection clipboard, if available.
911 \#353 #382
912
913 - VimFx’s toolbar button is now properly implemented. #303 #349 #383
914
915 - Most locales were updated. Thanks to our awesome [translators]!
916
917 ##### Minor bug fixes
918
919 - VimFx now works correctly in tabs dragged to other windows. #57
920 - The `p` command is no longer broken. #494
921 - Non-ASCII shortcut keys now work properly. #433
922 - The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog can no longer be covered by page elements.
923 \#477
924 - Hint markers can no longer be covered by page elements.
925 - VimFx no longer causes scripts on icloud.com to get stuck in an infinite loop.

951
952 ### 0.5.17 (2015-01-23)
953
954 - Fixed: The hints generation no longer crashes on some pages (regression since
955 version 0.5.15).
956
957 ### 0.5.16 (2015-01-22)
958
959 - Fixed: The toolbar button no longer throws errors. (This fix should have been
960 in 0.5.15 but was forgotten. Luckily an AMO reviewer found it.)
961
962 ### 0.5.15 (2015-01-21)
963
964 - Improved: This version is now forwards-compatible with the upcoming version
965 0.6.0. Downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.14 or older might cause VimFx to crash,
966 but downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.15 is safe.
967 - Fixed: Non-hintchars key presses in hints mode are now suppressed. They used
968 to be passed along to the browser, which could confusingly activate site
969 commands.
970 - Fixed: The 'f' command now always opens links in the same tab. Links used to
971 be able to force a new tab or window.
972 - Fixed: Pressing 'Esc' in the location bar now restores the URL, as is the
973 default behaviour of Firefox. You may now also close Firefox dialogs using
974 'Esc'.
975 - Improved: Updated the de locale. Thanks to Alexander Haeussler!
976 - Improved: Updated the pl locale. Thanks to morethanoneanimal!
977
978 ### 0.5.14 (2014-08-16)
979
980 - Fixed: Locales should now work properly.
981 - Improved: Updated the zh-CN locale (@mozillazg).
982 - Improved: Updated the de locale (@Kambfhase).
983 - Added: Japanese locale (@pluser).
984 - Fixed: If you switched to another tab or window while an `<input>` element
985 was focused and then switched back, the `<input>` element got blurred, while
986 it should have stayed focused. This caused the auto-type feature of KeePassX
987 to break.
988
989 ### 0.5.13 (2014-08-02)
990
991 - Fixed: The vote button on StackExchange sites are now markable again.
992 - Improved: Detection of previous/next links. Should work better on gmail now.
993 - Fixed: It is now possible to use Enter/Return in keyboard shortcuts.
994 - Improved: The n/N commands (etc.) now work even if you didn’t open the finbar
995 using the VimFx command (such as the default key binding ctrl+f, or by
996 clicking a menu item).
997 - Improved: It is now possible to blur text inputs without sending Esc to the
998 page, which could cause dialogs etc. to annoyingly close.
999 - Improved: Updated the el-GR locale (@sirodoht).
1000 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention sometimes made text inputs impossible to focus
1001 until you reloaded the page.
1002 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now works on more sites than before.
1003 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now prevents _all_ automatic focusing (not
1004 just when the page loads). This makes devdocs.io much easier to use.
1005 - Added: When viewing images directly and the image has been resized to fit the
1006 screen the image is now markable, allowing you to toggle zoom on it using the
1007 keyboard.
1008 - Fixed: It is no longer possible to add conflicting shortcuts (such as adding
1009 'a' when 'af' and 'as' are already present).
1010
1011 ### 0.5.12 (2014-06-01)
1012
1013 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention got stuck sometimes, making it impossible to
1014 focus inputs.
1015
1016 ### 0.5.11 (2014-06-01)
1017
1018 - Fixed: The focus search bar command was broken.
1019 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention was broken.
1020 - Fixed: The top bar on YouTube could not be accessed by VimFx.
1021 - Fixed: You can no longer add blank hotkeys.
1022 - Improved: Tab Groups are supported.
1023 - Improved: Matching of previous/next links should be more reliable.
1024 - Improved: A few minor things.
1025
1026 ### 0.5.10 (2014-05-07)
1027
1028 - Fixed yet another bug related to the default preferences
1029
1030 ### 0.5.9 (2014-05-04)
1031
1032 - Fixed a bug with default preferences not being set
1033 - Fixed gg and G to be faster
1034

1036
1037 - AMO Preliminary Review bug fix (sorry for such long delay)
1038
1039 ### 0.5.7 (2014-03-03)
1040
1041 - Bug fix
1042
1043 ### 0.5.6 (2014-02-26)
1044
1045 - Updated some translations
1046 - Updated pagination patterns and logic
1047
1048 ### 0.5.5 (2014-01-03)
1049
1050 - Hotfix release to address a bug that has been introduced in 0.5.4
1051
1052 ### 0.5.4 (2014-01-03)
1053
1054 - Fix for popup passthrough mode stucking
1055 - Make toolbar button click depend on current mode
1056 - Higher weight markers should not be overlapped

1061 patterns
1062 - Use Firefox 24+ native console API
1063 - Update zh-CN localization
1064
1065 ### 0.5.3 (2013-10-16)
1066
1067 - Lots of refactoring
1068 - Insert mode (`i` command)
1069 - Follow multiple links with `af` command

1071

1081 - Invisible elements will not get hint markers

1083 - Simple shortcut customization with UI in Help dialog
1084 - Use Huffman coding algorithm for hint markers generation which results in
1085 shorter links

1089 - Find disabled on non HTML documents
1090 - Find string is now global for all windows.

1095
1096 - `embed` and `object` tags will now have their own hints

1127 - Added `gh` command that will navigate to the home page.
1128 - Added `o` command to focus location bar.
1129 - `p` and `P` will parse the contents of the clipboard. If the string in the

1176
1177 ### 0.2 (2012-11-05)
