VimFx v0.20.0
[VimFx.git] / CHANGELOG.md
1 ### 0.20.0 (2016-10-02)
2
3 - Added: The `g[` and `g]` commands, which let you scroll to previous and next
4 scroll positions of the current page. This is similar to Vim’s jump list.
5 - Added: The `/` mark. Pressing `'/` takes you to the scroll position before the
6 last `/`, `a/` or `g/`.
7 - Fixed: Pressing `''` multiple times in a row now flips back and forth
8 between two scroll positions as expected.
9 - Fixed: Version 0.19.0 claimed to include the following improvement: “The hint
10 marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for a larger
11 element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).” However, a silly
12 mistake caused that improvement not to work. Now it does. For real.
13 - Fixed: All VimFx commands that copy text to the clipboard are now made sure to
14 also copy to the “selection clipboard” (if your system has such a thing). For
15 example, if you copy text using the `yv` command, the `p` command now uses
16 that copied text as expected.
17
18 ### 0.19.1 (2016-09-26)
19
20 - Fixed: The `'` command no longer crashes. (Regression since 0.19.0.)
21
22 ### 0.19.0 (2016-09-25)
23
24 #### Changes and improvements to Hints mode
25
26 **New feature:** Hint markers can now be filtered by element text, similar to
27 Vimium, Vimperator and Pentadactyl. This is useful for people who simply prefer
28 that workflow, and for clicking tiny pagination links (simply type its number!).
29
30 By default, filtering by element text is done by typing _uppercase_ characters
31 (hold down shift!). All characters other than the hint characters are now used
32 to filter hint markers by element text (rather than just being ignored). Do you
33 prefer filtering by element text, but dislike typing uppercase letters? Have a
34 look at how [hint characters] work to make things the other way around!
35
36 The markers with the best hint are now highlighted with a different color. You
37 may at any time press `<enter>` to activate those markers (or `<c-enter>` or
38 `<a-enter>` to change where and how to open links, just like you can hold ctrl
39 or alt for the last hint character).
40
41 Because of the above new features, the following default **Hints mode shortcuts
42 had to be changed:**
43
44 - `<space>` → `<c-space>` (`<s-space>` is left untouched)
45 - `<s->` → `<c-s->` (hold ctrl _and_ shift to peek through hint markers)
46 - `<enter>` → `<up>`
47 - `<c-enter>` → `<c-backspace>`
48
49 To make it easier to see the element text, hint markers are now nudged to the
50 left if they cover the text.
51
52 Other hint marker improvements:
53
54 - Hint markers are now 20% smaller by default. While trying to match text sizes
55 set by your operating system, they ended up a bit too large on most systems.
56 Check out the [Styling] documentation if you’d like to change the font size.
57 - Hint markers now have stronger contrast between the background color and the
58 text color, which should make them easier to read.
59 - The CSS for hint markers have been improved, making it easier to use custom
60 [Styling].
61 - When several elements have the same area, the best hint is now correctly given
62 to the _first_ of those elements. Previously, it happened to be the other way
63 around.
64 - The hint marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for
65 a larger element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).
66 - Hint markers are now better positioned when having zoomed the page in or out.
67 - Hints mode is now more robust in general. Several race conditions have been
68 fixed.

72
73 #### Other updates
74
75 - Added: The ability to **export, import and reset all** VimFx options. There
76 are three shiny new buttons for this in VimFx’s options page in the Add-ons
77 Manager!
78 - Added: The `gB` command, which lets you **quickly blacklist** (and
79 un-blacklist) sites.
80 - Added: The `ec` command, for opening the context menu of elements.
81 - Added: The `ep` command, for opening links in new private windows.
82 - Improved: `h`, `l`, `j` and `k` now feel more like scrolling with the arrow
83 keys when held down, by boosting the scrolling speed. See the
84 [`scroll.horizontal_boost` and `scroll.vertical_boost`][scroll-boost] options
85 for more information.
86 - Fixed: VimFx’s find bar integration is now much more robust. Most notably, if
87 you start typing directly after pressing `/` and Firefox is slow at opening
88 the find bar, your keypresses can no longer trigger VimFx commands or Firefox
89 built-in commands.
90 - Improved: VimFx no longer leaks keypresses to the web page in some modes. (For
91 example, counts in Caret mode).
92 - Improved: The `eb` command now finds more clickable elements in the devtools.
93 - Changed: `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` no longer lets you easily break for example
94 Hints mode, by now only being applied to Normal mode. You might need to change
95 your matchers from `(location, mode) => ...` to simply `location => ...`.
96 (Breaking API change.)
97 - Changed: The object passed to custom commands (and custom modes) no longer
98 contains a `uiEvent` property. Instead, there’s an `event` property. This
99 property can be used the same way if you check `vim.isUIEvent(event)` first.
100 (Breaking API change.)
101
102 [scroll-boost]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8bafdf0454043c1630bac8b13d13f1fb4e5ee9e7/documentation/options.md#scrollhorizontal_boost-and-scrollvertical_boost
103
104 ### 0.18.1 (2016-08-27)
105
106 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` no longer crashes on startup.
107 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` can now override the `prevent_autofocus`
108 pref again.
109
110 ### 0.18.0 (2016-08-20)
111
112 #### Changed default shortcuts
113
114 Some default keyboard shortcuts have been changed.
115
116 - Hint commands. Many of the old ones were difficult to remember, and there was
117 no space for adding new ones.
118
119 - `gf` → `et` (t as in tab)
120 - `gF` → `ew` (w as in window)
121 - `zf` → `ef` (f as in focus)
122 - `zF` → `eb` (b as in browser)
123 - `zv` → `av` (you actually select _all_ of the element’s text)
124
125 (`f`, `yf`, `af`, `v` and `yv` stay unchanged.)
126
127 There is a longer [explanation of these new defaults][hint-shortcuts] in the
128 documentation.
129
130 - `zr` → `gC`. `zr` was the only shortcut starting with `z`. This frees that key
131 up for other uses.
132
133 - `` ` `` → `'`. The `` ` `` shortcut (“scroll to mark”) as well as the `` ` ``
134 mark (“last position mark”) have both been changed to `'`. Both `` ` `` and
135 `'` are used in Vim. `'` is a better default, because it is easier to
136 type–both on an en-US QWERTY keyboard and, more importantly, on some
137 international layouts, such as the sv-SE QWERTY layout.
138
139 Note: If you miss Firefox’s default `'` shortcut to open the Quick Find bar
140 (which is now overridden), remember that VimFx provides `g/` which does the
141 same thing. (You can of course also change VimFx’s shortcuts.)
142
143 See also issue [#788].

145 [hint-shortcuts]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/e8d9df31dd5c8df999ac22e3b3b8d548a68c6fa7/documentation/commands.md#mnemonics-and-choice-of-default-hint-command-shortcuts
146 [#788]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/issues/788
147
148 #### Other updates
149
150 - Added: It is now possible to create [custom hint commands].
151 - Fixed: The bottom-right corner of the page scrollbars can now be used with the
152 mouse again.
153 - Fixed: The toolbar button now correctly toggles VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts
154 dialog again.
155 - Updated locales: fr, ru. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r) and Nicholas
156 Guriev (@mymedia2)!
157
158 [custom hint commands]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/e8d9df31dd5c8df999ac22e3b3b8d548a68c6fa7/documentation/api.md#custom-hint-commands
159
160 ### 0.17.4 (2016-07-11)
161
162 - Improved: The usage of modifier keys in Hints mode is now shown in VimFx’s
163 Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog. The functionality has been there for a long
164 time, but should now be easier to find. Thanks to our awesome translators,
165 the new help text is already available in most supported locales!
166 - Improved: If you submit a form while still being inside one of its text
167 inputs, that text input is now automatically blurred. This lets you use VimFx
168 commands while waiting for the form to submit without having to press
169 `<escape>` first.
170 - Improved: The `gu` command now works better on some pages, by preserving a
171 trailing slash. Thanks to @sinkuu!
172 - Improved: VimFx now recognizes text areas in the TYPO3 CMS.
173 - Improved: The `<escape>` command and the toolbar button now let you escape
174 back to Normal mode if VimFx ever gets stuck thinking that you are typing in a
175 text input.
176
177 ### 0.17.3 (2016-06-27)
178
179 - Improved: The `zF` command can now open even more dropdown menus of buttons.
180
181 ### 0.17.2 (2016-06-19)
182
183 - Improved: The `zF` command now works with more buttons and is able to open
184 dropdown menus of buttons.
185 - Fixed: The `f` commands now recognize more file upload buttons.
186 - Fixed: Rotating hint markers now works more as expected after having entered a
187 few hint chars.
188 - Fixed: Scrolling now works in SVG documents.
189 - Fixed: Opening links in new tabs in Firefox 50.
190 - Updated locales: pt-BR and ru. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)
191 and Nicholas Guriev (@mymedia2)!
192
193 ### 0.17.1 (2016-06-12)
194
195 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer accidentally double-clicks instead of
196 single-clicking. Thanks to Alan Wu (@XrXr)!
197 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer crashes in Firefox 49+.
198 - Fixed: The “URL popup,” shown when hovering or focusing links, now appears
199 again when focusing links using `zf` (regression since 0.17.0).
200 - Updated locale: it. Thanks to Carlo Bertoldi (@cbertoldi)!
201
202 ### 0.17.0 (2016-06-08)
203
204 - Fixed: VimFx no longer scrolls smaller elements on a page instead of the
205 entire page on some sites.
206 - Improved: The `/`, `n` and `N` have been drastically sped up (when
207 [`find_from_top_of_viewport`][find_from_top_of_viewport-1] is on). Previously,
208 they appeared to freeze on some sites, but not anymore.
209 - Improved: You can no longer accidentally trigger VimFx between pressing `/`
210 and the find bar input being is focused.
211 - Improved: The `n` and `N` commands are now more robust.
212 - Improved: “Fullscreen” buttons and “Copy to clipboard” buttons can now be
213 activated the `f` command. Thanks to Alan Wu (@XrXr)!
214 - Changed: After having pressed `m` or `` ` `` VimFx no longer waits
215 indefinitely for you to press a mark key. Instead, the [timeout] option is
216 honored.
217 - Changed: After having pressed `m` or `` ` `` you can now press `<escape>` to
218 abort those commands.
219 - Changed: Find mode is no longer shown in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
220 dialog, to reduce clutter. (This can be changed through custom
221 [styling][styling-1].)
222 - Changed: The `?` command as well as the toolbar button now _toggle_ VimFx’s
223 Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (instead of always showing it, even if it was
224 already shown.)
225 - Changed: Counts are now ignored in Ignore mode. Previously, pressing number
226 keys would both send those key presses to the page _and_ contribute to the
227 count for commands (showing up in the bottom-right corner). This is no longer
228 the case.
229 - Updated locales: fr, zh-CN and zh-TW. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r),
230 @av2000ii and Robert Wang (@cyberrob)!

235
236 ### 0.16.1 (2016-05-29)
237
238 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer crashes (regression since 0.16.0).
239
240 ### 0.16.0 (2016-05-29)
241
242 - Fixed: The text input focus detection problems introduced in 0.15.1, which
243 sometimes caused VimFx commands to be triggered while typing in text inputs,
244 have been fixed.
245 - Improved: If you press `n` or `N` when there are are no matches for your
246 search, the find bar is no longer opened. Only a notification is shown. The
247 reliability of those notifications has also been improved.
248 - Improved: Hints mode now finds more links.
249 - Improved: Pressing `<c-enter>` in Hints mode now includes more elements.
250 - Updated locales: es, zh-CN. Thanks to @strel and @av2000ii!
251
252 ### 0.15.1 (2016-05-22)
253
254 - Improved: Better hints on Twitter.
255 - Improved: Compatibility with the [Evernote Web Clipper] add-on (and
256 potentially other add-ons with similar UI).
257 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!
258
259 [Evernote Web Clipper]: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/evernote-web-clipper/
260
261 ### 0.15.0 (2016-05-18)
262
263 - Improved: Hint markers now appear up to twice as fast on many pages. This is
264 done by creating the hint markers in two phases. Most are created in the
265 first, fast, phase. The rest take the same time as older VimFx versions to
266 show up.
267 - Fixed: VimFx no longer triggers commands while typing in fancy text inputs on
268 some sites, such as when composing a new tweet on Twitter. (See also the
269 [`blur_timeout`] pref.)
270 - Changed: The `<c-enter>` Hints mode command no longer _replaces_ all hint
271 markers on screen (with new ones for all elements on screen). Instead, it
272 _toggles_ your current hint markers with ones for all _other_ elements on
273 screen.
274 - Changed: There was a breaking change to the [`vimfx.setHintMatcher`] function
275 of the `frame.js` config file API. It no longer receives and returns an object
276 (of the shape `{type, semantic}`), but instead simply receives and returns the
277 `type` of the element.
278 - Improved: Some internal robustness refactoring.
279 - Updated locales: de, id, nl and zh-CN. Thanks to @just-barcodes, Yoppy
280 Halilintar (@comepradz), @HJTP, @av2000ii and @mozillazg.

284
285 ### 0.14.3 (2016-05-08)
286
287 - Fixed: Version 0.14.2 attempted to fix smooth scrolling speed in newer Firefox
288 versions. However, there was a tiny typo that caused the fix not to work. That
289 typo has been corrected.
290
291 ### 0.14.2 (2016-05-08)
292
293 - Fixed: Smooth scrolling speed is now correct again in newer Firefox versions.
294 - Fixed: The `yv` Caret mode command now only copies text that you can see on
295 screen (not any hidden text that might be on the page), making it truly work
296 like `zv` followed by `y`, as intended. This problem was very noticeable on
297 Slack. This also improves copying of 'contenteditable' elements using `yf`.
298 - Fixed: `<escape>` and arrow key handling as well as hint markers in the
299 devtools now work correctly again in newer Firefox versions.
300 - Fixed: VimFx no longer makes it impossible to open the Developer Toolbar.
301 - Improved: VimFx now ignores `<numlock>` and `<capslock>`. If your keyboard
302 sends `<numlock>` before some symbols, such as `<numlock>$` instead of just
303 `$`, shortcuts like `gx$` now work out of the box. This also means that you
304 can use `<capslock>` instead of `<shift>` when typing the `J` in `gJ`, for
305 example.
306 - Improved: Some minor cosmetic tweaks in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
307 dialog.
308
309 ### 0.14.1 (2016-04-30)
310
311 - Fixed: The Find commands (such as `/`, `n` and `N`) no longer crash on some
312 sites (regression since 0.14.0).
313
314 ### 0.14.0 (2016-04-29)
315
316 - Added: [Caret mode], which lets you copy text from web pages using the
317 keyboard.
318 - Improved: The Find commands (such as `/`, `n` and `N`) now search from the top
319 of the viewport, instead of from the top of the document, which is more
320 Vim-like and less disorienting. To read more about it (or to return to the
321 Firefox default behavior) please see the [`find_from_top_of_viewport`] pref.
322 - Improved: Compatibility with the [BackTrack Tab History] add-on.
323 - Added: The `<c-enter>` Hints mode command, which creates hint markers for
324 _all_ elements.
325 - Fixed: `__dirname` inside config files now works on Windows. Thanks to
326 Zhong Jianxin (@azuwis)!
327 - Fixed: Unnecessary full-page hint markers on some sites, such as Hackernews,
328 no longer appear.
329
330 [Caret mode]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/4ffda62560096f91244f3f7731171002ed174f05/documentation/commands.md#the-v-commands--caret-mode

332 [BackTrack Tab History]: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backtrack-tab-history/
333
334 ### 0.13.2 (2016-04-08)
335
336 - Improved: The “last position mark” `` ` `` now works more reliably.
337 - Improved: More video players are now recognized. Many video players lets you
338 press `<space>` while focused to toggle play/pause. VimFx tries to detect if
339 the currently focused element is a video player. If so, `<space>` is passed to
340 the video player instead of scrolling the page. (For those interested, see
341 also the [`adjustable_element_keys`] pref.)
342
343 [`adjustable_element_keys`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/645e35d7d82019b0551534c43926bc126e7105bd/documentation/options.md#adjustable_element_keys
344
345 ### 0.13.1 (2016-04-01)
346
347 - Fixed: Blacklisting of some XUL pages.
348 - Fixed: The current mode is no longer lost when a page loads. For example, if
349 you press `zF` while a page is loading, the markers no longer disappear.
350 - Fixed: Elements that you have focused using an `f` command no longer get stuck
351 appearing as if you’d put the mouse pointer.
352 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @mozillazg!
353
354 ### 0.13.0 (2016-03-19)
355
356 - Added: The `T` command, which opens a new tab after the current.
357 - Changed: The `gl` command now deals with _visited_ tabs only.
358 - Added: The [`gL`] command, which deals with <em>un</em>visited tabs only, in
359 oldest-first order. Use this to step through your unvisited background tabs in
360 the order you opened them (for example using the `F` command).
361 - Improved: The `gi` command no longer tries to focus the last focused text
362 input if it has been removed from the page. If so, it finds a new one instead.
363 - Fixed: You can now type in sidebar text inputs (such as in the history
364 sidebar) without having to switch to Ignore mode.
365 - Changed: If you enter Ignore mode you will now stay in Ignore mode in that tab
366 until you explicitly exit it (by pressing `<s-escape>`), even if you reload
367 the page or follow a link. If Ignore mode was entered automatically because of
368 the [blacklist][blacklist-2], though, you will be automatically returned to
369 Normal mode if
370 the URL changes to a non-blacklisted page.
371 - Added: VimFx can now automatically enter and exit Ignore mode based on the
372 currently focused element. Currently, the [wasavi] extension as well as
373 [CodeMirror] in Vim mode are detected. Both of those provide Vim-style
374 editors. This allows sending `<escape>` to those editors in order to exit
375 their Insert mode, without blurring the editor.
376 - Improved: CodeMirror editors now get better hints, keeping the cursor where
377 you left it.
378 - Improved: The [blacklist][blacklist-2] is now applied faster on some pages.
379 - Improved: Many audio and video elements are now recognized as “adjustable”,
380 allowing you to press for example `<space>` on them to toggle play/pause,
381 without scrolling the page.
382 - Improved: Scrolling by pages, such as using the `<space>` command, now takes
383 fixed heaears and footers into account, just like Firefox does.
384 - Fixed: Access keys now work correctly in context menus in the devtools and
385 `about:config`.
386 - Improved: The arrow keys now Just Work in the devtools, even if you have bound
387 them to VimFx commands.
388 - Changed: The public API has been removed, and turned into the Config file API.
389 If you were already using a config file, it will no longer work. You need to
390 set up a new one, but you should be able to simply copy and paste the contents
391 of the old one into the new one. Read the [config file] documentation for more
392 information.
393 - Changed: There are a few minor breaking changes to the API, though I doubt it
394 will affect anyone.
395 - If you use [`vimfx.on`], you probably need to adjust the arguments of the
396 your callbacks. They are now _always_ passed an object of data, instead of
397 sometimes passing the data directly.
398 - `match.focus` of [match object]s has been removed, and replaced by
399 `vim.focusType` of [vim object]s.
400 - Fixed: The toolbar button’s icon is now correctly sized when setting
401 `layout.css.devPixelsPerPx` to `2`. Thanks to Robert Ma (@Hexcles) and Dale
402 Whinham (@dwhinham)!
403 - Fixed: Find commands now work when the find bar was opened before the page had
404 finished loading.
405 - Improved: Lots of internal improvements. This should make VimFx faster, more
406 reliable and more responsive.
407 - All keyboard event handling (except `<late>` shortcuts) are now handled in
408 the UI process, instead of mostly in each tab’s web page content process.
409 This should make VimFx’s shortcuts more reliable and responsive.
410 - Removed all synchronous message passing (execpt for `<late>` keypresses).
411 Mozilla recommends using them only where absolutely necessary. Turns out
412 VimFx doesn’t need them anymore!
413 - The `f` commands are now more reliable. Before, they could crash on rare
414 occasions (on certain web pages), but that is less likely now.
415 - Less `MutationObserver`s are now used. This should improve performance.
416 - Less uncaught errors (especially on shutdown).
417 - Lots of minor improvements.
418 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!

429 ### 0.12.0 (2016-02-03)
430
431 - Improved: More clickable elements are now recognized. Most notably, elements
432 with click event listeners added by JavaScript now get hints.
433 - Improved: Autofocus prevention after using the `[` and `]` commands.
434 - Added: In VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (which can be opened by
435 pressing `?`) you can now click on any command to open VimFx’s settings page
436 in the Add-ons Manager and automatically select the text input for that
437 command, letting you edit its shortcuts. Tip: Use the `zF` command to click
438 without using the mouse.
439 - Changed: Autofocus is no longer prevented in Firefox internal pages, such as
440 `about:preferences`, `about:addons` and `about:config` (as well as other XUL
441 pages).
442 - Fixed: VimFx and the Beyond Australis extension do not conflict with each
443 other anymore.
444 - Fixed: The `gH` command no longer nags you about “No back/forward history”
445 even though there is.
446 - Added: The `gl` command now takes a [count][gl-count].
447 - Improved: Optimized CPU usage in Hints mode. (See also the [`hints_sleep`]
448 pref.)
449 - Improved: The `H` and `L` commands should now be more reliable in Firefox 43
450 and later.
451 - Changed: There was a tiny breaking change to the Public API, though I doubt it
452 will affect anyone. (See [commit 0ca807605e] if you’re especially interested.)
453 - Improved: _Several_ minor things, and some really nice internal refactoring.
454 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
455
456 [`hints_sleep`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/92b483c4a4f6da0b2c998267e0f01d3d999f93b6/documentation/options.md#hints_sleep

458 [commit 0ca807605e]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/commit/0ca807605e8d69fdc01ef9ce5d539cf66ce7d96f
459
460 ### 0.11.0 (2016-01-15)
461
462 - Fixed: The `` ` `` command is no longer broken.
463 - Fixed: Memory leak.
464 - Added: The `gl` command, which takes you to the most recent tab.
465 - Improved: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now scrollable using VimFx’s
466 scrolling commands. To allow for this, the search field is no longer
467 autofocused. Instead, press `/` to open it.
468 - Improved: Using the `f` commands, such as `f` and `zf`, now works like
469 actually moving your mouse onto the link, making hover menus and such-like
470 appear.
471 - Improved: VimFx should now work better with Google Drive Documents, Etherpad
472 and a few other fancy text editors.
473 - Improved: The `]` command now works on google.com.
474 - Improved: Checkboxes and menu items on gmail.com are now given hints by the
475 `f` command.
476 - Improved: The `gi` command now also recognizes 'contenteditable' elements.
477 - Improved: Hint markers now move along together with their elements.
478 - Fixed: Hint markers should now be correctly positioned when zooming.
479 - Fixed: The toolbar button icon should now look correctly on Retina screens.
480 - Added: You may now disable counts by using toggling the [`counts_enabled`]
481 pref.
482 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
483 - Improved: Several minor things.
484
485 [`counts_enabled`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8dae7aec9008595da31b939d5ae2d239849cf6dc/documentation/options.md#counts_enabled
486
487 ### 0.10.0 (2015-12-09)
488
489 - Added: The `zF` command, which lets you click browser elements.
490 - Improved: The scrolling commands can now scroll browser elements (in other
491 words, not only web page content), by first selecting the scollable element
492 using `zF`.
493 - Added: The `gr` command, which toggles [Reader View].
494 - Added: The `gX` command, which opens the Recently Closed Tabs menu at the
495 middle of the screen.
496 - Added: The keys you’ve typed so far of a command, as well the count, are now
497 shown in a [notification]. (You may disable this using the
498 [`notify_entered_keys`] pref.)
499 - Improved: When commands don’t do anything, they show a [notification] instead,
500 letting you know that you actually pressed the right keys. For example, if you
501 press `f` but there are no markable elements visible, a notification is shown
502 telling you so, instead of silently doing nothing.
503 - Improved: `<space>` now scrolls _about a line less_ than a full page, just
504 like Firefox does by default. `d` scroll about _half_ a line less (by
505 default), so that pressing `d` twice works like pressing `<space>` once. (See
506 the [`scroll.full_page_adjustment` and `scroll.half_page_adjustment`] prefs
507 for more information.)
508 - Improved: `gi` now only selects all text in its text input if you haven’t
509 focused a text input yet (allowing you to easily replace pre-filled text),
510 instead of _always_ doing so. Otherwise, it now puts the cursor where you left
511 off typing the last time.
512 - Fixed: The `f` commands now put the cursor where you left off typing the last
513 time when focusing a text input. Previously, they accidentally selected all
514 text in the text input (use `zf` for that behavior).
515 - Fixed: Yet a scrolling fix. VimFx’s scrolling commands should now “just work”
516 on even more sites.
517 - Fixed: AltGr should now work out of the box on Windows. (See the
518 [`ignore_ctrl_alt`] pref for more information.)
519 - Removed: The el-GR, hu and pl locales were sadly too out of date to be useful,
520 and nobody has shown interest in updating them, so they were removed.
521 - Updated locales: id, de and zh-CN. Thanks to Yoppy Halilintar, @just-barcodes
522 and @mozillazg!
523 - Fixed: Several tiny bugs.

530
531 ### 0.9.0 (2015-12-02)
532
533 - Fixed: Links with the `onclick` attribute can now be opened in new tabs again.
534 (Regression since 0.8.0.)
535 - Fixed: The text size in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now
536 correctly resized.
537 - Added: The `gH` command. It opens the back/forward button context menu in the
538 middle of the window, allowing you to choose a history entry with the arrow
539 keys and `<enter>`.
540
541 ### 0.8.0 (2015-12-01)
542
543 - Fixed: VimFx now works properly in tabs moved to other windows.
544 - Fixed: An unreliable check for multi-process mode has been eliminated, fixing
545 various problems for some users.
546 - Fixed: VimFx’s toolbar button now changes color correctly when switching
547 between blacklisted and non-blacklisted tabs.
548 - Fixed: Dead keys now work out of the box on Windows.
549 - Improved: Links with the `onclick` attribute (abused as buttons) can no longer
550 get the same hint as another link.
551 - Added: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (shown by pressing `?`) is now
552 searchable.
553 - Added: The `g/` command. It’s like `/` but searches links only.
554
555 - Added: [Marks].
556
557 - Use `ma` to mark the current scroll position and `` `a `` to return to it.
558 (You may substitute `a` with any key press.)
559 - Use ``` `` ``` to return to the position before the last `gg`, `G`, `0`,
560 `$`, `/`, `n`, `N` or `` ` ``. (You can change this mark using the
561 [`last_scroll_position_mark`] pref.)
562
563 - Added: Window commands.
564
565 - `w`: Open new window.
566 - `W`: Open new private window.
567 - `gw`: Move tab to new window.
568 - `gF`: Follow link in new window.
569

572
573 ### 0.7.3 (2015-11-22)
574
575 - Fixed: Scrolling now works correctly in pages in quirks mode (lacking a
576 doctype), such as Hackernews.
577 - Improved: The largest scrollable element is now detected better in frames.
578 - Fixed: Hints mode now exits correctly when focusing a text input using `af`,
579 or `f` with a count.
580
581 ### 0.7.2 (2015-11-21)
582
583 - Fixed: The blinking text caret now always appears correctly when focusing text
584 inputs.
585
586 ### 0.7.1 (2015-11-21)
587
588 - Fixed: The scrolling commands should now “just work” when using non-default
589 zoom or DPI settings, most notably on Google Groups.
590
591 ### 0.7.0 (2015-11-19)
592
593 - Changed: Instead of using system notifications, which turned out to be a bit
594 too intrusive, [notifications] are now similar to the “URL popup” (shown when
595 hovering or focusing links) but are placed on the opposite side,.
596 - Changed: The “Focus next element” and “Focus previous element” commands have
597 been removed. The reason they existed was to let `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` only
598 cycle between text inputs (as opposed to _all_ focusable elements) after
599 you’ve pressed `gi`. Now, `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` are handled specially instead,
600 and _only_ after pressing `gi`. The reason for this change is that the now
601 removed commands were too intrusive, breaking user habits. One of VimFx’s main
602 goal is _not_ to do that. (You can turn the special handling of `<tab>` and
603 `<s-tab>` off using the the new [`focus_previous_key` and `focus_next_key`]
604 prefs.)
605 - Fixed: The scrolling commands should now “just work” in a lot more situations,
606 most notably on Gmail and Google Groups. More scrollable elements are also
607 recognized by the `f` and `zf` commands.
608 - Improved: The right border of hint markers for scrollable elements is now
609 styled to remind of a scroll bar, making them easier to recognize among hints
610 for links.
611 - Improved/Changed: `J` and `gJ` now allow a count on the first tab.
612 Consequently, `K` and `gK` now allow a count on the _last_ tab.
613 - Changed: `gJ` and `gK` can no longer be used to pin or unpin tabs. They now
614 only wrap around tabs of the same pinned state. Use `gp` to toggle between
615 pinned and non-pinned.
616 - Fixed: Many elements that got a hint before VimFx 0.6.0 now do again.
617 - Improved: Comment fields on Facebook can now be focused using `f` and blurred
618 using `<escape>`.
619 - Improved: VimFx’s toolbar button is no greyed out when you focus a text input.
620 This is to show that your key presses will be passed into the text input
621 rather than activating VimFx commands.
622 - Added: [`g0`, `g^` and `g$` now accept counts][tab-index-counts], allowing you
623 to go to tab number _count._
624 - Improved: `gi` now finds text inputs inside frames.
625 - Fixed: “gi mode” is now exited properly when blurring a text input.
626 - Fixed: `<select>` elements are no longer considered to be text inputs when
627 using `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` in “gi mode.”
628 - Fixed: Using `<force>` or `<late>` in a shortcut no longer applies to _every_
629 shortcut for the command, but only that shortcut.
630 - Fixed: The order of the Previous/Next page patterns is now respected. This
631 caused the wrong link to be picked by the `[` and `]` commands on some pages.

636
637 ### 0.6.2 (2015-11-11)
638
639 - Improved: If the entire page isn’t scrollable, the largest scrollable element
640 is scrolled instead.
641 - Fixed: VimFx’s keyboard shortcuts now works on slowly loading pages.
642 - Fixed: Numbers may now be used as shortcut keys (overriding counts).
643 - Fixed: The toolbar button’s icon is now correctly sized in high DPI.
644 - Fixed: Hint markers are now correctly positioned when zooming using the “Zoom
645 text only” option.
646 - Fixed: The `P` command now works with the InstantFox add-on.
647
648 ### 0.6.1 (2015-11-10)
649
650 - Fixed: If you customized the “esc” command before VimFx 0.6.0 it should now
651 work as expected.
652 - Fixed: `<tab>` now works as expected in the location bar and in the dev tools.
653 - Fixed: Light-weight themes can no longer make VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
654 dialog and hint markers unreadable.
655 - Added: The [notifications\_enabled] option.
656
657 [notifications\_enabled]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/56c4b7c514ea8b58d2cdcecf3d2654648c48ca31/documentation/options.md#notifications_enabled
658
659 ### 0.6.0 (2015-11-09)
660
661 ##### Most important (breaking) changes
662
663 - VimFx now works properly with **any keyboard layout.** Users of **multiple
664 layouts** should enable the **[ignore keyboard layout] option.** #249 #259
665
666 - Features related to disabling VimFx, and to the [toolbar button]:
667
668 - **Insert Mode** has been renamed to **_Ignore_ mode.**
669 - **[Blacklisted][blacklist] sites** now **enter Ignore mode automatically,**
670 instead of being specially handled.
671 - The feature to click the toolbar button (or press `<a-V>`) to **disable
672 VimFx** has been **removed.** Use **Ignore mode** (`i`) and the
673 **[blacklist] instead.**
674 - The **toolbar button** is now **red in Ignore mode** (which also means that
675 it is red on blacklisted sites) and green otherwise (never grey anymore).
676 - The toolbar button no longer offers to (un-)blacklist the current domain.
677 (Head into VimFx’s settings page in the Add-ons Manager and add
678 `*currentdomain.com*` to the [blacklist] option yourself instead.)
679
680 (See [commit 3552282] for more information.)
681
682 - **Some default shortcuts have changed,** mostly because they conflicted with
683 standard Firefox shortcuts: #308
684
685 - `<c-J>` → `gJ`
686
687 - `<c-K>` → `gK`
688
689 - `g^` and `gH` → `g0`
690
691 `g^` now selects the first _non pinned_ tab instead, while `g0`
692 selects the first tab regardless of whether it is pinned or not. #317
693
694 - `<c-e>` (alias for `j`) and `<c-y>` (alias for `k`) have been removed.
695
696 - `<c-f>` → `<space>` and `<c-b>` → `<s-space>`
697
698 - `vf` → `zf`
699
700 This frees up `v` for future shortcuts (instead making `z` a
701 “namespace” key, just like in Vim).
702
703 - To **exit Ignore mode:** `<escape>` → `<s-escape>`. This is because Ignore
704 mode has replaced the disable feature, as well as the special blacklist
705 state (see above). Sites are likely to use `<escape>` but not `<s-escape>`.
706 (In a way, this new role of Ignore mode also means that the old (many times
707 broken) shortcut to disable VimFx (`<a-V>`) has been replaced by `i`.) #64
708 \#375 #432
709
710 - VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now help only, and more accessible.
711 To **customize keyboard shortcuts,** go to VimFx’s settings page **in the
712 Add-ons Manager,** just like you would to customize other settings. Also,
713 **commas** between every key are **no longer needed:** Type `gJ` instead of
714 `g,J`.
715
716 - For performance reasons, **Hint markers** are now placed vertically **centered
717 instead of at the top** of the element. Don’t be surprised if you see the same
718 hint repeated several times**—links that go to the same place now get the same
719 hint.** The “Smart hints” option has been removed—hints are _always_ smart
720 now, and a lot smarter than before. Finally, hints now also work in the new
721 tab page, the Add-ons Manager and the preferences page. If you want to, you
722 can read more about [the `f` commands]. \#51 #60 #176 #320 #325 #468 #471 #475
723
724 - The **`F`** command now _always_ opens tabs in new **background** tabs, while
725 **`gf`** has been added to open tabs in new **foreground** tabs. #227 #464
726
727 - **Autofocus prevention** is now **off by default.** One of VimFx’s core
728 philosophies is to be nice to your browser habits. Some find autofocus
729 prevention too big a change. Turn it on again if you like it! By the way,
730 autofocus prevention now works much more reliably and should not cause issues
731 with other extensions. #497 #541
732
733 - The **“Scroll step”** option has been **removed**. The scrolling commands that
734 used it now **work like the arrow keys instead,** and are customized just like
735 them. See [scrolling prefs] for more information.
736
737 - Speaking of scrolling, **which elements scrolls** when you use VimFx’s
738 scrolling commands **has changed.** See [scrolling commands] for more
739 information.
740
741 ##### New features
742
743 - New commands:
744
745 - `gp` pins or unpins the current tab. (Also see `g^` and `g0` mentioned
746 above.) #121
747 - `yt` duplicates the current tab. #121
748 - `0` and `^` scroll to the far left, and `$` scrolls to the far right.
749 - [`gi`] has finally been implemented. #47
750 - [Ignore mode `<s-f1>`] let you run a Normal mode command without exiting
751 Ignore mode.
752
753 - In Hints mode you can now hold ctrl and alt to change behavior of the matched
754 marker. Hold shift to temporarily make the hints see-through. See [the `f`
755 commands] for more information. #220 #421 #484
756
757 - Some commands now accept [counts]. #374
758
759 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that work inside text inputs. See the
760 [`<force>`] key for more information. #258
761
762 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that the page can override. See the
763 [`<late>`] key for more information.
764
765 - A number of [advanced options] have been added. Rather than listing everything
766 regarding them here, follow that link if you’re interested. #452 #489
767
768 - You may now, if you want to, configure VimFx through a [config file], using
769 the new [public API]. Customizing VimFx through a config file also gives extra
770 abilities, such as [site-specific options][option-overrides] and [disabling
771 certain commands on certain sites][key-overrides]. It also allows to add
772 [custom commands] \(and other extensions to extend VimFx). #158 #235 #255 #261
773 \#300 #408 #445 #490 #515
774
775 - It is now easier to customize VimFx through custom [styling]. An example is
776 changing the way hint markers look. #220 #233 #424 #432 #465
777
778 - VimFx now has [documentation] and a [wiki].
779
780 - A few new locales were added:
781
782 - fr. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r)!
783 - pt-BR. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)!
784 - sv-SE. Thanks to Andreas Lindhé (@lindhe)!
785
786 ##### Improvements
787
788 - VimFx is now multi-process/Electrolysis/e10s compatible! This means that you
789 can run VimFx on a version of Firefox with multi-process enabled without
790 issues, and that we’re future proof for the day when Firefox becomes
791 multi-process by default. Best of all, it also made VimFx more reliable in
792 non-multi-process (“regular”) Firefox. #378
793
794 - The `[` and `]` commands are now smarter, recognizing more links to the

796 patterns]. #396

799 phrase you searched for could not be found. #398

805 - The `p` and `P` commands are now smarter regarding whether to treat the
806 clipboard contents as a URL or a search, by working exactly like pasting in
807 the location bar. They also now read the selection clipboard, if available.

848
849 ### 0.5.17 (2015-01-23)
850
851 - Fixed: The hints generation no longer crashes on some pages (regression since
852 version 0.5.15).
853
854 ### 0.5.16 (2015-01-22)
855
856 - Fixed: The toolbar button no longer throws errors. (This fix should have been
857 in 0.5.15 but was forgotten. Luckily an AMO reviewer found it.)
858
859 ### 0.5.15 (2015-01-21)
860
861 - Improved: This version is now forwards-compatible with the upcoming version
862 0.6.0. Downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.14 or older might cause VimFx to crash,
863 but downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.15 is safe.
864 - Fixed: Non-hintchars key presses in hints mode are now suppressed. They used
865 to be passed along to the browser, which could confusingly activate site
866 commands.
867 - Fixed: The 'f' command now always opens links in the same tab. Links used to
868 be able to force a new tab or window.
869 - Fixed: Pressing 'Esc' in the location bar now restores the URL, as is the
870 default behaviour of Firefox. You may now also close Firefox dialogs using
871 'Esc'.
872 - Improved: Updated the de locale. Thanks to Alexander Haeussler!
873 - Improved: Updated the pl locale. Thanks to morethanoneanimal!
874
875 ### 0.5.14 (2014-08-16)
876
877 - Fixed: Locales should now work properly.
878 - Improved: Updated the zh-CN locale (@mozillazg).
879 - Improved: Updated the de locale (@Kambfhase).
880 - Added: Japanese locale (@pluser).
881 - Fixed: If you switched to another tab or window while an `<input>` element
882 was focused and then switched back, the `<input>` element got blurred, while
883 it should have stayed focused. This caused the auto-type feature of KeePassX
884 to break.
885
886 ### 0.5.13 (2014-08-02)
887
888 - Fixed: The vote button on StackExchange sites are now markable again.
889 - Improved: Detection of previous/next links. Should work better on gmail now.
890 - Fixed: It is now possible to use Enter/Return in keyboard shortcuts.
891 - Improved: The n/N commands (etc.) now work even if you didn’t open the finbar
892 using the VimFx command (such as the default key binding ctrl+f, or by
893 clicking a menu item).
894 - Improved: It is now possible to blur text inputs without sending Esc to the
895 page, which could cause dialogs etc. to annoyingly close.
896 - Improved: Updated the el-GR locale (@sirodoht).
897 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention sometimes made text inputs impossible to focus
898 until you reloaded the page.
899 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now works on more sites than before.
900 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now prevents _all_ automatic focusing (not
901 just when the page loads). This makes devdocs.io much easier to use.
902 - Added: When viewing images directly and the image has been resized to fit the
903 screen the image is now markable, allowing you to toggle zoom on it using the
904 keyboard.
905 - Fixed: It is no longer possible to add conflicting shortcuts (such as adding
906 'a' when 'af' and 'as' are already present).
907
908 ### 0.5.12 (2014-06-01)
909
910 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention got stuck sometimes, making it impossible to
911 focus inputs.
912
913 ### 0.5.11 (2014-06-01)
914
915 - Fixed: The focus search bar command was broken.
916 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention was broken.
917 - Fixed: The top bar on YouTube could not be accessed by VimFx.
918 - Fixed: You can no longer add blank hotkeys.
919 - Improved: Tab Groups are supported.
920 - Improved: Matching of previous/next links should be more reliable.
921 - Improved: A few minor things.
922
