85 ### 0.21.0 (2019-05-15)
86
87 - Removed: The Developer Toolbar integration, such as the `:` shortcut. That

90 - Fixed: VimFx should now work on Waterfox again. Tested with Waterfox 56,
91 Firefox 56, Firefox 64 and Waterfox 68. Thanks to Tobias Girstmair (@girst)
92 and @matsuhav!
93
94 ### 0.20.15 (2018-08-06)
95
96 - Fixed: Find mode now works properly again. Thanks to @matsuhav!
97
98 ### 0.20.14 (2018-05-15)
99
100 - Fixed: VimFx should now work properly in Firefox 61 (if you have enabled
101 legacy extensions) as well as older versions of Firefox. The latest few
102 versions have been a bit buggy, but things should work better now. Thanks to
103 Kevin Cox (@kevincox) and 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
104
105 ### 0.20.13 (2018-05-06)
106
107 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 61 (if you have enabled legacy
108 extensions). Thanks to Kevin Cox (@kevincox), 依云 (@lilydjwg) and Jan
109 Kokemüller (@jiixyj)!
110
111 ### 0.20.12 (2018-01-23)
112
113 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 59 (if you have enabled legacy
114 extensions). Thanks to Kevin Cox (@kevincox) and 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
115 - Updated locale: es. Thanks to @strel!
116
117 ### 0.20.11 (2017-11-19)
118
119 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 58 (if you have enabled legacy
120 extensions). Thanks to 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
121
122 ### 0.20.10 (2017-03-25)
123
124 - Improved: Autofocus is now prevented when going back in history on pages that
125 use `history.pushState()` (in other words, on the 'popstate' event).
126 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!
127
128 ### 0.20.9 (2017-02-21)
129
130 - Fixed: The `yy` command now works as expected in Reader Mode.
131
132 ### 0.20.8 (2017-01-14)
133
134 - Improved: The scrolling commands now scroll the closest scrollable parent of
135 the currently focused element (if it is not scrollable itself). This is
136 noticeable for Twitter’s modals, which are often scrollable. No longer any
137 need to use the `f` or `ef` commands to scroll those modals!
138
139 ### 0.20.7 (2017-01-07)
140
141 - Improved: The `[` and `]` commands now work in Google search results.
142 - Improved: You can now show the “emoji picker” of the “like” button on Facebook
143 by using the `ef` command.
144 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @interleaved!
145
146 ### 0.20.6 (2016-12-16)
147
148 - Fixed: The `'`, `g[` and `g]` commands no longer crash. (Regression since
149 0.20.5.)
150 - Fixed: The `ef` command can now focus elements in deeply nested frames again.
151 (Regression since 0.19.0.)
152 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` and `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` are now properly
153 undone when reloading a config file (`gC`).
154 - Improved: Hint markers for elements with multiline text no longer cover the
155 text.
156 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @interleaved!
157
158 ### 0.20.5 (2016-12-04)
159
160 - Fixed: Scrolling by holding `d`, `u`, `<space>` or `<s-space>` no longer goes
161 slower and slower (and finally grinding to a halt) on long pages with lots of
162 elements. (See also the [`scroll.repeat_timeout`] pref.)
163 - Improved: All config API functions now validate all their parameters properly.
164 This provides a better user experience, and, most importantly, prevents VimFx
165 from crashing on certain invalid input.
166
167 [`scroll.repeat_timeout`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/58deb3f7b7c470a4d705f1dabf7aa13e095e8d09/documentation/options.md#smooth-scrolling
168
169 ### 0.20.4 (2016-11-16)
170
171 - Fixed: The `n` and `N` commands now work in Firefox’s PDF viewer.
172 - Fixed: The `eb` command can now click the tab bar scroll buttons.
173 - Fixed: Elements marked by the `eb` command now correctly get hints based on
174 their area again.
175 - Improved: The `eb` command now favors the browser tabs and their close
176 buttons, giving them better hints.
177 - Improved: The hints given to the browser tabs by the `eb` command are now
178 consistent no matter how many tabs you have open. This means that the first
179 tab always gets the same hint, the second tab always get the same hint, and so
180 on.
181 - Improved: Hint markers are now placed next to the text of the element if
182 appropriate. For example, the hint marker for a button with centered text is
183 now placed just to the left of the text rather than at the left edge of
184 button. This is nice because it means that hint markers usually end up where
185 you were just reading.
186 - Improved: The positioning of hint markers has been fine-tuned by a pixel or so
187 in some cases.
188 - Improved: Custom styled checkboxes and radio buttons now get hint markers
189 faster (they are now found in the first pass rather than the second).
190 - Improved: Compatibility with the [Tab Center] add-on.
191 - Improved: Blurring the location bar is now more consistent. Previously, its
192 text wasn’t reset if the autocomplete popup was open when you pressed
193 `<escape>` to blur it.
194 - Fixed: An edge case where the wrong hint markers could be highlighted.
195
196 [Tab Center]: https://testpilot.firefox.com/experiments/tab-center/
197
198 ### 0.20.3 (2016-10-22)
199
200 - Improved: Full page scrolling now recognizes the fixed footer on medium.com.
201 - Fixed: Scrollable element can now be focused with the `f` command again (not
202 just with the `ef` command). (Regression since 0.19.0.)
203 - Fixed: `<escape>` is no longer accidentally leaked to the page when used to
204 blur text inputs. This allows blurring text inputs in modals without closing
205 the modal (which `<escape>` commonly does otherwise).
206
207 ### 0.20.2 (2016-10-16)
208
209 - Fixed: Text inputs and links inside frames can now be focused using hint
210 commands again. (Regression since 0.19.0.)
211 - Improved: Previously focused text inputs inside frames no longer steal the
212 focus when entering Caret mode in that frame.
213 - Improved: When several hint markers have the same hint (because their links
214 go to the same place), the _largest_ of those links is now chosen when
215 activating that hint. This might be noticeable via focus styling.
216 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @av2000ii!
217
218 ### 0.20.1 (2016-10-09)
219
220 - Improved: Caret mode is now a bit more robust. It can no longer make you end
221 up with [Firefox’s own Caret mode] accidentally enabled.
222 - Improved: If you try use for example `<ctrl>-j` as a keyboard shortcut, VimFx
223 will now tell you that you probably want `<c-j>` instead.
224 - Fixed: Using a keyboard shortcut to switch keyboard layout in GNOME while
225 inside a text input no longer causes the focus of that text input to be lost
226 when the Prevent autofocus option is enabled.
227 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @av2000ii!
228
229 [Firefox’s own Caret mode]: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Accessibility_features_of_Firefox#Allow_text_to_be_selected_with_the_keyboard
230
231 ### 0.20.0 (2016-10-02)
232
233 - Added: The `g[` and `g]` commands, which let you scroll to previous and next
234 scroll positions of the current page. This is similar to Vim’s jump list.
235 - Added: The `/` mark. Pressing `'/` takes you to the scroll position before the
236 last `/`, `a/` or `g/`.
237 - Fixed: Pressing `''` multiple times in a row now flips back and forth
238 between two scroll positions as expected.
239 - Fixed: Version 0.19.0 claimed to include the following improvement: “The hint
240 marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for a larger
241 element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).” However, a silly
242 mistake caused that improvement not to work. Now it does. For real.
243 - Fixed: All VimFx commands that copy text to the clipboard are now made sure to
244 also copy to the “selection clipboard” (if your system has such a thing). For
245 example, if you copy text using the `yv` command, the `p` command now uses
246 that copied text as expected.
247
248 ### 0.19.1 (2016-09-26)
249
250 - Fixed: The `'` command no longer crashes. (Regression since 0.19.0.)
251
252 ### 0.19.0 (2016-09-25)
253
254 #### Changes and improvements to Hints mode
255
256 **New feature:** Hint markers can now be filtered by element text, similar to
257 Vimium, Vimperator and Pentadactyl. This is useful for people who simply prefer
258 that workflow, and for clicking tiny pagination links (simply type its number!).
259
260 By default, filtering by element text is done by typing _uppercase_ characters
261 (hold down shift!). All characters other than the hint characters are now used
262 to filter hint markers by element text (rather than just being ignored). Do you
263 prefer filtering by element text, but dislike typing uppercase letters? Have a
264 look at how [hint characters] work to make things the other way around!
265
266 The markers with the best hint are now highlighted with a different color. You
267 may at any time press `<enter>` to activate those markers (or `<c-enter>` or
268 `<a-enter>` to change where and how to open links, just like you can hold ctrl
269 or alt for the last hint character).
270
271 Because of the above new features, the following default **Hints mode shortcuts
272 had to be changed:**
273
274 - `<space>` → `<c-space>` (`<s-space>` is left untouched)
275 - `<s->` → `<c-s->` (hold ctrl _and_ shift to peek through hint markers)
276 - `<enter>` → `<up>`
277 - `<c-enter>` → `<c-backspace>`
278
279 To make it easier to see the element text, hint markers are now nudged to the
280 left if they cover the text.
281
282 Other hint marker improvements:
283
284 - Hint markers are now 20% smaller by default. While trying to match text sizes
285 set by your operating system, they ended up a bit too large on most systems.
286 Check out the [Styling] documentation if you’d like to change the font size.
287 - Hint markers now have stronger contrast between the background color and the
288 text color, which should make them easier to read.
289 - The CSS for hint markers have been improved, making it easier to use custom
290 [Styling].
291 - When several elements have the same area, the best hint is now correctly given
292 to the _first_ of those elements. Previously, it happened to be the other way
293 around.
294 - The hint marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for
295 a larger element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).
296 - Hint markers are now better positioned when having zoomed the page in or out.
297 - Hints mode is now more robust in general. Several race conditions have been
298 fixed.
299
300 [hint characters]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8bafdf0454043c1630bac8b13d13f1fb4e5ee9e7/documentation/options.md#hint-characters

302
303 #### Other updates
304
305 - Added: The ability to **export, import and reset all** VimFx options. There
306 are three shiny new buttons for this in VimFx’s options page in the Add-ons
307 Manager!
308 - Added: The `gB` command, which lets you **quickly blacklist** (and
309 un-blacklist) sites.
310 - Added: The `ec` command, for opening the context menu of elements.
311 - Added: The `ep` command, for opening links in new private windows.
312 - Improved: `h`, `l`, `j` and `k` now feel more like scrolling with the arrow
313 keys when held down, by boosting the scrolling speed. See the
314 [`scroll.horizontal_boost` and `scroll.vertical_boost`][scroll-boost] options
315 for more information.
316 - Fixed: VimFx’s find bar integration is now much more robust. Most notably, if
317 you start typing directly after pressing `/` and Firefox is slow at opening
318 the find bar, your keypresses can no longer trigger VimFx commands or Firefox
319 built-in commands.
320 - Improved: VimFx no longer leaks keypresses to the web page in some modes. (For
321 example, counts in Caret mode).
322 - Improved: The `eb` command now finds more clickable elements in the devtools.
323 - Changed: `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` no longer lets you easily break for example
324 Hints mode, by now only being applied to Normal mode. You might need to change
325 your matchers from `(location, mode) => ...` to simply `location => ...`.
326 (Breaking API change.)
327 - Changed: The object passed to custom commands (and custom modes) no longer
328 contains a `uiEvent` property. Instead, there’s an `event` property. This
329 property can be used the same way if you check `vim.isUIEvent(event)` first.
330 (Breaking API change.)
331
332 [scroll-boost]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8bafdf0454043c1630bac8b13d13f1fb4e5ee9e7/documentation/options.md#scrollhorizontal_boost-and-scrollvertical_boost
333
334 ### 0.18.1 (2016-08-27)
335
336 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` no longer crashes on startup.
337 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` can now override the `prevent_autofocus`
338 pref again.
339
340 ### 0.18.0 (2016-08-20)
341
342 #### Changed default shortcuts
343
344 Some default keyboard shortcuts have been changed.
345
346 - Hint commands. Many of the old ones were difficult to remember, and there was
347 no space for adding new ones.
348
349 - `gf` → `et` (t as in tab)
350 - `gF` → `ew` (w as in window)
351 - `zf` → `ef` (f as in focus)
352 - `zF` → `eb` (b as in browser)
353 - `zv` → `av` (you actually select _all_ of the element’s text)
354
355 (`f`, `yf`, `af`, `v` and `yv` stay unchanged.)
356
357 There is a longer [explanation of these new defaults][hint-shortcuts] in the
358 documentation.
359
360 - `zr` → `gC`. `zr` was the only shortcut starting with `z`. This frees that key
361 up for other uses.
362
363 - `` ` `` → `'`. The `` ` `` shortcut (“scroll to mark”) as well as the `` ` ``
364 mark (“last position mark”) have both been changed to `'`. Both `` ` `` and
365 `'` are used in Vim. `'` is a better default, because it is easier to
366 type–both on an en-US QWERTY keyboard and, more importantly, on some
367 international layouts, such as the sv-SE QWERTY layout.
368
369 Note: If you miss Firefox’s default `'` shortcut to open the Quick Find bar
370 (which is now overridden), remember that VimFx provides `g/` which does the
371 same thing. (You can of course also change VimFx’s shortcuts.)
372
373 See also issue [#788].

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

465
466 ### 0.16.1 (2016-05-29)
467
468 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer crashes (regression since 0.16.0).
469
470 ### 0.16.0 (2016-05-29)
471
472 - Fixed: The text input focus detection problems introduced in 0.15.1, which
473 sometimes caused VimFx commands to be triggered while typing in text inputs,
474 have been fixed.
475 - Improved: If you press `n` or `N` when there are are no matches for your
476 search, the find bar is no longer opened. Only a notification is shown. The
477 reliability of those notifications has also been improved.
478 - Improved: Hints mode now finds more links.
479 - Improved: Pressing `<c-enter>` in Hints mode now includes more elements.
480 - Updated locales: es, zh-CN. Thanks to @strel and @av2000ii!
481
482 ### 0.15.1 (2016-05-22)
483
484 - Improved: Better hints on Twitter.
485 - Improved: Compatibility with the [Evernote Web Clipper] add-on (and
486 potentially other add-ons with similar UI).
487 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!
488
489 [Evernote Web Clipper]: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/evernote-web-clipper/
490
491 ### 0.15.0 (2016-05-18)
492
493 - Improved: Hint markers now appear up to twice as fast on many pages. This is
494 done by creating the hint markers in two phases. Most are created in the
495 first, fast, phase. The rest take the same time as older VimFx versions to
496 show up.
497 - Fixed: VimFx no longer triggers commands while typing in fancy text inputs on
498 some sites, such as when composing a new tweet on Twitter. (See also the
499 [`blur_timeout`] pref.)
500 - Changed: The `<c-enter>` Hints mode command no longer _replaces_ all hint
501 markers on screen (with new ones for all elements on screen). Instead, it
502 _toggles_ your current hint markers with ones for all _other_ elements on
503 screen.
504 - Changed: There was a breaking change to the [`vimfx.setHintMatcher`] function
505 of the `frame.js` config file API. It no longer receives and returns an object
506 (of the shape `{type, semantic}`), but instead simply receives and returns the
507 `type` of the element.
508 - Improved: Some internal robustness refactoring.
509 - Updated locales: de, id, nl and zh-CN. Thanks to @just-barcodes, Yoppy
510 Halilintar (@comepradz), @HJTP, @av2000ii and @mozillazg.

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

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

658
659 ### 0.12.0 (2016-02-03)
660
661 - Improved: More clickable elements are now recognized. Most notably, elements
662 with click event listeners added by JavaScript now get hints.
663 - Improved: Autofocus prevention after using the `[` and `]` commands.
664 - Added: In VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (which can be opened by
665 pressing `?`) you can now click on any command to open VimFx’s settings page
666 in the Add-ons Manager and automatically select the text input for that
667 command, letting you edit its shortcuts. Tip: Use the `zF` command to click
668 without using the mouse.
669 - Changed: Autofocus is no longer prevented in Firefox internal pages, such as
670 `about:preferences`, `about:addons` and `about:config` (as well as other XUL
671 pages).
672 - Fixed: VimFx and the Beyond Australis extension do not conflict with each
673 other anymore.
674 - Fixed: The `gH` command no longer nags you about “No back/forward history”
675 even though there is.
676 - Added: The `gl` command now takes a [count][gl-count].
677 - Improved: Optimized CPU usage in Hints mode. (See also the [`hints_sleep`]
678 pref.)
679 - Improved: The `H` and `L` commands should now be more reliable in Firefox 43
680 and later.
681 - Changed: There was a tiny breaking change to the Public API, though I doubt it
682 will affect anyone. (See [commit 0ca807605e] if you’re especially interested.)
683 - Improved: _Several_ minor things, and some really nice internal refactoring.
684 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
685
686 [`hints_sleep`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/92b483c4a4f6da0b2c998267e0f01d3d999f93b6/documentation/options.md#hints_sleep

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

760
761 ### 0.9.0 (2015-12-02)
762
763 - Fixed: Links with the `onclick` attribute can now be opened in new tabs again.
764 (Regression since 0.8.0.)
765 - Fixed: The text size in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now
766 correctly resized.
767 - Added: The `gH` command. It opens the back/forward button context menu in the
768 middle of the window, allowing you to choose a history entry with the arrow
769 keys and `<enter>`.
770
771 ### 0.8.0 (2015-12-01)
772
773 - Fixed: VimFx now works properly in tabs moved to other windows.
774 - Fixed: An unreliable check for multi-process mode has been eliminated, fixing
775 various problems for some users.
776 - Fixed: VimFx’s toolbar button now changes color correctly when switching
777 between blacklisted and non-blacklisted tabs.
778 - Fixed: Dead keys now work out of the box on Windows.
779 - Improved: Links with the `onclick` attribute (abused as buttons) can no longer
780 get the same hint as another link.
781 - Added: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (shown by pressing `?`) is now
782 searchable.
783 - Added: The `g/` command. It’s like `/` but searches links only.
784
785 - Added: [Marks].
786
787 - Use `ma` to mark the current scroll position and `` `a `` to return to it.
788 (You may substitute `a` with any key press.)
789 - Use ``` `` ``` to return to the position before the last `gg`, `G`, `0`,
790 `$`, `/`, `n`, `N` or `` ` ``. (You can change this mark using the
791 [`last_scroll_position_mark`] pref.)
792
793 - Added: Window commands.
794
795 - `w`: Open new window.
796 - `W`: Open new private window.
797 - `gw`: Move tab to new window.
798 - `gF`: Follow link in new window.

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

867 ### 0.6.2 (2015-11-11)
868
869 - Improved: If the entire page isn’t scrollable, the largest scrollable element
870 is scrolled instead.
871 - Fixed: VimFx’s keyboard shortcuts now works on slowly loading pages.
872 - Fixed: Numbers may now be used as shortcut keys (overriding counts).
873 - Fixed: The toolbar button’s icon is now correctly sized in high DPI.
874 - Fixed: Hint markers are now correctly positioned when zooming using the “Zoom
875 text only” option.
876 - Fixed: The `P` command now works with the InstantFox add-on.
877
878 ### 0.6.1 (2015-11-10)
879
880 - Fixed: If you customized the “esc” command before VimFx 0.6.0 it should now
881 work as expected.
882 - Fixed: `<tab>` now works as expected in the location bar and in the dev tools.
883 - Fixed: Light-weight themes can no longer make VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
884 dialog and hint markers unreadable.
885 - Added: The [notifications\_enabled] option.
886
887 [notifications\_enabled]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/56c4b7c514ea8b58d2cdcecf3d2654648c48ca31/documentation/options.md#notifications_enabled
888
889 ### 0.6.0 (2015-11-09)
890
891 ##### Most important (breaking) changes
892
893 - VimFx now works properly with **any keyboard layout.** Users of **multiple
894 layouts** should enable the **[ignore keyboard layout] option.** #249 #259
895
896 - Features related to disabling VimFx, and to the [toolbar button]:
897
898 - **Insert Mode** has been renamed to **_Ignore_ mode.**
899 - **[Blacklisted][blacklist] sites** now **enter Ignore mode automatically,**
900 instead of being specially handled.
901 - The feature to click the toolbar button (or press `<a-V>`) to **disable
902 VimFx** has been **removed.** Use **Ignore mode** (`i`) and the
903 **[blacklist] instead.**
904 - The **toolbar button** is now **red in Ignore mode** (which also means that
905 it is red on blacklisted sites) and green otherwise (never grey anymore).
906 - The toolbar button no longer offers to (un-)blacklist the current domain.
907 (Head into VimFx’s settings page in the Add-ons Manager and add
908 `*currentdomain.com*` to the [blacklist] option yourself instead.)
909
910 (See [commit 3552282] for more information.)
911
912 - **Some default shortcuts have changed,** mostly because they conflicted with
913 standard Firefox shortcuts: #308
914
915 - `<c-J>` → `gJ`
916
917 - `<c-K>` → `gK`
918
919 - `g^` and `gH` → `g0`
920
921 `g^` now selects the first _non pinned_ tab instead, while `g0`
922 selects the first tab regardless of whether it is pinned or not. #317
923
924 - `<c-e>` (alias for `j`) and `<c-y>` (alias for `k`) have been removed.
925
926 - `<c-f>` → `<space>` and `<c-b>` → `<s-space>`
927
928 - `vf` → `zf`
929
930 This frees up `v` for future shortcuts (instead making `z` a
931 “namespace” key, just like in Vim).
932
933 - To **exit Ignore mode:** `<escape>` → `<s-escape>`. This is because Ignore
934 mode has replaced the disable feature, as well as the special blacklist
935 state (see above). Sites are likely to use `<escape>` but not `<s-escape>`.
936 (In a way, this new role of Ignore mode also means that the old (many times
937 broken) shortcut to disable VimFx (`<a-V>`) has been replaced by `i`.) #64
938 \#375 #432
939
940 - VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now help only, and more accessible.
941 To **customize keyboard shortcuts,** go to VimFx’s settings page **in the
942 Add-ons Manager,** just like you would to customize other settings. Also,
943 **commas** between every key are **no longer needed:** Type `gJ` instead of
944 `g,J`.
945
946 - For performance reasons, **Hint markers** are now placed vertically **centered
947 instead of at the top** of the element. Don’t be surprised if you see the same
948 hint repeated several times**—links that go to the same place now get the same
949 hint.** The “Smart hints” option has been removed—hints are _always_ smart
950 now, and a lot smarter than before. Finally, hints now also work in the new
951 tab page, the Add-ons Manager and the preferences page. If you want to, you
952 can read more about [the `f` commands]. \#51 #60 #176 #320 #325 #468 #471 #475
953
954 - The **`F`** command now _always_ opens tabs in new **background** tabs, while
955 **`gf`** has been added to open tabs in new **foreground** tabs. #227 #464
956
957 - **Autofocus prevention** is now **off by default.** One of VimFx’s core
958 philosophies is to be nice to your browser habits. Some find autofocus
959 prevention too big a change. Turn it on again if you like it! By the way,
960 autofocus prevention now works much more reliably and should not cause issues
961 with other extensions. #497 #541
962
963 - The **“Scroll step”** option has been **removed**. The scrolling commands that
964 used it now **work like the arrow keys instead,** and are customized just like
965 them. See [scrolling prefs] for more information.
966
967 - Speaking of scrolling, **which elements scrolls** when you use VimFx’s
968 scrolling commands **has changed.** See [scrolling commands] for more
969 information.
970
971 ##### New features
972
973 - New commands:
974
975 - `gp` pins or unpins the current tab. (Also see `g^` and `g0` mentioned
976 above.) #121
977 - `yt` duplicates the current tab. #121
978 - `0` and `^` scroll to the far left, and `$` scrolls to the far right.
979 - [`gi`] has finally been implemented. #47
980 - [Ignore mode `<s-f1>`] let you run a Normal mode command without exiting
981 Ignore mode.
982
983 - In Hints mode you can now hold ctrl and alt to change behavior of the matched
984 marker. Hold shift to temporarily make the hints see-through. See [the `f`
985 commands] for more information. #220 #421 #484
986
987 - Some commands now accept [counts]. #374
988
989 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that work inside text inputs. See the
990 [`<force>`] key for more information. #258
991
992 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that the page can override. See the
993 [`<late>`] key for more information.
994
995 - A number of [advanced options] have been added. Rather than listing everything
996 regarding them here, follow that link if you’re interested. #452 #489
997
998 - You may now, if you want to, configure VimFx through a [config file], using
999 the new [public API]. Customizing VimFx through a config file also gives extra
1000 abilities, such as [site-specific options][option-overrides] and [disabling
1001 certain commands on certain sites][key-overrides]. It also allows to add
1002 [custom commands] \(and other extensions to extend VimFx). #158 #235 #255 #261
1003 \#300 #408 #445 #490 #515
1004
1005 - It is now easier to customize VimFx through custom [styling]. An example is
1006 changing the way hint markers look. #220 #233 #424 #432 #465
1007
1008 - VimFx now has [documentation] and a [wiki].
1009
1010 - A few new locales were added:
1011
1012 - fr. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r)!
1013 - pt-BR. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)!
1014 - sv-SE. Thanks to Andreas Lindhé (@lindhe)!
1015
1016 ##### Improvements
1017
1018 - VimFx is now multi-process/Electrolysis/e10s compatible! This means that you
1019 can run VimFx on a version of Firefox with multi-process enabled without
1020 issues, and that we’re future proof for the day when Firefox becomes
1021 multi-process by default. Best of all, it also made VimFx more reliable in
1022 non-multi-process (“regular”) Firefox. #378
1023
1024 - The `[` and `]` commands are now smarter, recognizing more links to the
1025 previous/next page correctly. You may read more about [previous/next page
1026 patterns]. #396
1027
1028 - The `n` and `N` commands now notify you when they wrap around the page, or the
1029 phrase you searched for could not be found. #398
1030
1031 - _All_ shortcuts in _all modes_ can now be customized. For example, this allows
1032 you to disable VimFx’s Vim-style `<enter>` behavior in the find bar. #222 #390
1033 \#421
1034
1035 - The `p` and `P` commands are now smarter regarding whether to treat the
1036 clipboard contents as a URL or a search, by working exactly like pasting in
1037 the location bar. They also now read the selection clipboard, if available.
1038 \#353 #382
1039
1040 - VimFx’s toolbar button is now properly implemented. #303 #349 #383
1041
1042 - Most locales were updated. Thanks to our awesome [translators]!
1043
1044 ##### Minor bug fixes
1045
1046 - VimFx now works correctly in tabs dragged to other windows. #57
1047 - The `p` command is no longer broken. #494
1048 - Non-ASCII shortcut keys now work properly. #433
1049 - The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog can no longer be covered by page elements.
1050 \#477
1051 - Hint markers can no longer be covered by page elements.
1052 - VimFx no longer causes scripts on icloud.com to get stuck in an infinite loop.

1078
1079 ### 0.5.17 (2015-01-23)
1080
1081 - Fixed: The hints generation no longer crashes on some pages (regression since
1082 version 0.5.15).
1083
1084 ### 0.5.16 (2015-01-22)
1085
1086 - Fixed: The toolbar button no longer throws errors. (This fix should have been
1087 in 0.5.15 but was forgotten. Luckily an AMO reviewer found it.)
1088
1089 ### 0.5.15 (2015-01-21)
1090
1091 - Improved: This version is now forwards-compatible with the upcoming version
1092 0.6.0. Downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.14 or older might cause VimFx to crash,
1093 but downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.15 is safe.
1094 - Fixed: Non-hintchars key presses in hints mode are now suppressed. They used
1095 to be passed along to the browser, which could confusingly activate site
1096 commands.
1097 - Fixed: The 'f' command now always opens links in the same tab. Links used to
1098 be able to force a new tab or window.
1099 - Fixed: Pressing 'Esc' in the location bar now restores the URL, as is the
1100 default behaviour of Firefox. You may now also close Firefox dialogs using
1101 'Esc'.
1102 - Improved: Updated the de locale. Thanks to Alexander Haeussler!
1103 - Improved: Updated the pl locale. Thanks to morethanoneanimal!
1104
1105 ### 0.5.14 (2014-08-16)
1106
1107 - Fixed: Locales should now work properly.
1108 - Improved: Updated the zh-CN locale (@mozillazg).
1109 - Improved: Updated the de locale (@Kambfhase).
1110 - Added: Japanese locale (@pluser).
1111 - Fixed: If you switched to another tab or window while an `<input>` element
1112 was focused and then switched back, the `<input>` element got blurred, while
1113 it should have stayed focused. This caused the auto-type feature of KeePassX
1114 to break.
1115
1116 ### 0.5.13 (2014-08-02)
1117
1118 - Fixed: The vote button on StackExchange sites are now markable again.
1119 - Improved: Detection of previous/next links. Should work better on gmail now.
1120 - Fixed: It is now possible to use Enter/Return in keyboard shortcuts.
1121 - Improved: The n/N commands (etc.) now work even if you didn’t open the finbar
1122 using the VimFx command (such as the default key binding ctrl+f, or by
1123 clicking a menu item).
1124 - Improved: It is now possible to blur text inputs without sending Esc to the
1125 page, which could cause dialogs etc. to annoyingly close.
1126 - Improved: Updated the el-GR locale (@sirodoht).
1127 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention sometimes made text inputs impossible to focus
1128 until you reloaded the page.
1129 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now works on more sites than before.
1130 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now prevents _all_ automatic focusing (not
1131 just when the page loads). This makes devdocs.io much easier to use.
1132 - Added: When viewing images directly and the image has been resized to fit the
1133 screen the image is now markable, allowing you to toggle zoom on it using the
1134 keyboard.
1135 - Fixed: It is no longer possible to add conflicting shortcuts (such as adding
1136 'a' when 'af' and 'as' are already present).
1137
1138 ### 0.5.12 (2014-06-01)
1139
1140 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention got stuck sometimes, making it impossible to
1141 focus inputs.
1142
1143 ### 0.5.11 (2014-06-01)
1144
1145 - Fixed: The focus search bar command was broken.
1146 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention was broken.
1147 - Fixed: The top bar on YouTube could not be accessed by VimFx.
1148 - Fixed: You can no longer add blank hotkeys.
1149 - Improved: Tab Groups are supported.
1150 - Improved: Matching of previous/next links should be more reliable.
1151 - Improved: A few minor things.
1152
1153 ### 0.5.10 (2014-05-07)
1154
1155 - Fixed yet another bug related to the default preferences
1156
1157 ### 0.5.9 (2014-05-04)
1158
1159 - Fixed a bug with default preferences not being set
1160 - Fixed gg and G to be faster
1161
1162 ### 0.5.8 (2014-04-18)
1163
1164 - AMO Preliminary Review bug fix (sorry for such long delay)
1165
1166 ### 0.5.7 (2014-03-03)
1167
1168 - Bug fix
1169
1170 ### 0.5.6 (2014-02-26)
1171
1172 - Updated some translations
1173 - Updated pagination patterns and logic
1174
1175 ### 0.5.5 (2014-01-03)
1176
1177 - Hotfix release to address a bug that has been introduced in 0.5.4
1178
1179 ### 0.5.4 (2014-01-03)
1180
1181 - Fix for popup passthrough mode stucking
1182 - Make toolbar button click depend on current mode
1183 - Higher weight markers should not be overlapped
1184 - Refactor find mode to use Firefox native search bar
1185 - Bump minimum required Firefox version to 25
1186 - Added commands to go in the URL path
1187 - Added commands to navigate previous and next links with customizable link
1188 patterns
1189 - Use Firefox 24+ native console API
1190 - Update zh-CN localization
1191
1192 ### 0.5.3 (2013-10-16)
1193
1194 - Lots of refactoring
1195 - Insert mode (`i` command)
1196 - Follow multiple links with `af` command
