63 - Fixed: VimFx should now work with Nightly 70, by removing usage of the
64 deprecated `Array.filter()` method and others.
65
66 Thanks to Tobias Girstmair (@girst)!
67
68 ### 0.21.0 (2019-05-15)
69
70 - Removed: The Developer Toolbar integration, such as the `:` shortcut. That
71 feature has been removed from Firefox and the integration was causing issues

73 - Fixed: VimFx should now work on Waterfox again. Tested with Waterfox 56,
74 Firefox 56, Firefox 64 and Waterfox 68. Thanks to Tobias Girstmair (@girst)
75 and @matsuhav!
76
77 ### 0.20.15 (2018-08-06)
78
79 - Fixed: Find mode now works properly again. Thanks to @matsuhav!
80
81 ### 0.20.14 (2018-05-15)
82
83 - Fixed: VimFx should now work properly in Firefox 61 (if you have enabled
84 legacy extensions) as well as older versions of Firefox. The latest few
85 versions have been a bit buggy, but things should work better now. Thanks to
86 Kevin Cox (@kevincox) and 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
87
88 ### 0.20.13 (2018-05-06)
89
90 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 61 (if you have enabled legacy
91 extensions). Thanks to Kevin Cox (@kevincox), 依云 (@lilydjwg) and Jan
92 Kokemüller (@jiixyj)!
93
94 ### 0.20.12 (2018-01-23)
95
96 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 59 (if you have enabled legacy
97 extensions). Thanks to Kevin Cox (@kevincox) and 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
98 - Updated locale: es. Thanks to @strel!
99
100 ### 0.20.11 (2017-11-19)
101
102 - Fixed: VimFx should now work in Firefox 58 (if you have enabled legacy
103 extensions). Thanks to 依云 (@lilydjwg)!
104
105 ### 0.20.10 (2017-03-25)
106
107 - Improved: Autofocus is now prevented when going back in history on pages that
108 use `history.pushState()` (in other words, on the 'popstate' event).
109 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!
110
111 ### 0.20.9 (2017-02-21)
112
113 - Fixed: The `yy` command now works as expected in Reader Mode.
114
115 ### 0.20.8 (2017-01-14)
116
117 - Improved: The scrolling commands now scroll the closest scrollable parent of
118 the currently focused element (if it is not scrollable itself). This is
119 noticeable for Twitter’s modals, which are often scrollable. No longer any
120 need to use the `f` or `ef` commands to scroll those modals!
121
122 ### 0.20.7 (2017-01-07)
123
124 - Improved: The `[` and `]` commands now work in Google search results.
125 - Improved: You can now show the “emoji picker” of the “like” button on Facebook
126 by using the `ef` command.
127 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @interleaved!
128
129 ### 0.20.6 (2016-12-16)
130
131 - Fixed: The `'`, `g[` and `g]` commands no longer crash. (Regression since
132 0.20.5.)
133 - Fixed: The `ef` command can now focus elements in deeply nested frames again.
134 (Regression since 0.19.0.)
135 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` and `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` are now properly
136 undone when reloading a config file (`gC`).
137 - Improved: Hint markers for elements with multiline text no longer cover the
138 text.
139 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @interleaved!
140
141 ### 0.20.5 (2016-12-04)
142
143 - Fixed: Scrolling by holding `d`, `u`, `<space>` or `<s-space>` no longer goes
144 slower and slower (and finally grinding to a halt) on long pages with lots of
145 elements. (See also the [`scroll.repeat_timeout`] pref.)
146 - Improved: All config API functions now validate all their parameters properly.
147 This provides a better user experience, and, most importantly, prevents VimFx
148 from crashing on certain invalid input.
149
150 [`scroll.repeat_timeout`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/58deb3f7b7c470a4d705f1dabf7aa13e095e8d09/documentation/options.md#smooth-scrolling
151
152 ### 0.20.4 (2016-11-16)
153
154 - Fixed: The `n` and `N` commands now work in Firefox’s PDF viewer.
155 - Fixed: The `eb` command can now click the tab bar scroll buttons.
156 - Fixed: Elements marked by the `eb` command now correctly get hints based on
157 their area again.
158 - Improved: The `eb` command now favors the browser tabs and their close
159 buttons, giving them better hints.
160 - Improved: The hints given to the browser tabs by the `eb` command are now
161 consistent no matter how many tabs you have open. This means that the first
162 tab always gets the same hint, the second tab always get the same hint, and so
163 on.
164 - Improved: Hint markers are now placed next to the text of the element if
165 appropriate. For example, the hint marker for a button with centered text is
166 now placed just to the left of the text rather than at the left edge of
167 button. This is nice because it means that hint markers usually end up where
168 you were just reading.
169 - Improved: The positioning of hint markers has been fine-tuned by a pixel or so
170 in some cases.
171 - Improved: Custom styled checkboxes and radio buttons now get hint markers
172 faster (they are now found in the first pass rather than the second).
173 - Improved: Compatibility with the [Tab Center] add-on.
174 - Improved: Blurring the location bar is now more consistent. Previously, its
175 text wasn’t reset if the autocomplete popup was open when you pressed
176 `<escape>` to blur it.
177 - Fixed: An edge case where the wrong hint markers could be highlighted.
178
179 [Tab Center]: https://testpilot.firefox.com/experiments/tab-center/
180
181 ### 0.20.3 (2016-10-22)
182
183 - Improved: Full page scrolling now recognizes the fixed footer on medium.com.
184 - Fixed: Scrollable element can now be focused with the `f` command again (not
185 just with the `ef` command). (Regression since 0.19.0.)
186 - Fixed: `<escape>` is no longer accidentally leaked to the page when used to
187 blur text inputs. This allows blurring text inputs in modals without closing
188 the modal (which `<escape>` commonly does otherwise).
189
190 ### 0.20.2 (2016-10-16)
191
192 - Fixed: Text inputs and links inside frames can now be focused using hint
193 commands again. (Regression since 0.19.0.)
194 - Improved: Previously focused text inputs inside frames no longer steal the
195 focus when entering Caret mode in that frame.
196 - Improved: When several hint markers have the same hint (because their links
197 go to the same place), the _largest_ of those links is now chosen when
198 activating that hint. This might be noticeable via focus styling.
199 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @av2000ii!
200
201 ### 0.20.1 (2016-10-09)
202
203 - Improved: Caret mode is now a bit more robust. It can no longer make you end
204 up with [Firefox’s own Caret mode] accidentally enabled.
205 - Improved: If you try use for example `<ctrl>-j` as a keyboard shortcut, VimFx
206 will now tell you that you probably want `<c-j>` instead.
207 - Fixed: Using a keyboard shortcut to switch keyboard layout in GNOME while
208 inside a text input no longer causes the focus of that text input to be lost
209 when the Prevent autofocus option is enabled.
210 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @av2000ii!
211
212 [Firefox’s own Caret mode]: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Accessibility_features_of_Firefox#Allow_text_to_be_selected_with_the_keyboard
213
214 ### 0.20.0 (2016-10-02)
215
216 - Added: The `g[` and `g]` commands, which let you scroll to previous and next
217 scroll positions of the current page. This is similar to Vim’s jump list.
218 - Added: The `/` mark. Pressing `'/` takes you to the scroll position before the
219 last `/`, `a/` or `g/`.
220 - Fixed: Pressing `''` multiple times in a row now flips back and forth
221 between two scroll positions as expected.
222 - Fixed: Version 0.19.0 claimed to include the following improvement: “The hint
223 marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for a larger
224 element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).” However, a silly
225 mistake caused that improvement not to work. Now it does. For real.
226 - Fixed: All VimFx commands that copy text to the clipboard are now made sure to
227 also copy to the “selection clipboard” (if your system has such a thing). For
228 example, if you copy text using the `yv` command, the `p` command now uses
229 that copied text as expected.
230
231 ### 0.19.1 (2016-09-26)
232
233 - Fixed: The `'` command no longer crashes. (Regression since 0.19.0.)
234
235 ### 0.19.0 (2016-09-25)
236
237 #### Changes and improvements to Hints mode
238
239 **New feature:** Hint markers can now be filtered by element text, similar to
240 Vimium, Vimperator and Pentadactyl. This is useful for people who simply prefer
241 that workflow, and for clicking tiny pagination links (simply type its number!).
242
243 By default, filtering by element text is done by typing _uppercase_ characters
244 (hold down shift!). All characters other than the hint characters are now used
245 to filter hint markers by element text (rather than just being ignored). Do you
246 prefer filtering by element text, but dislike typing uppercase letters? Have a
247 look at how [hint characters] work to make things the other way around!
248
249 The markers with the best hint are now highlighted with a different color. You
250 may at any time press `<enter>` to activate those markers (or `<c-enter>` or
251 `<a-enter>` to change where and how to open links, just like you can hold ctrl
252 or alt for the last hint character).
253
254 Because of the above new features, the following default **Hints mode shortcuts
255 had to be changed:**
256
257 - `<space>` → `<c-space>` (`<s-space>` is left untouched)
258 - `<s->` → `<c-s->` (hold ctrl _and_ shift to peek through hint markers)
259 - `<enter>` → `<up>`
260 - `<c-enter>` → `<c-backspace>`
261
262 To make it easier to see the element text, hint markers are now nudged to the
263 left if they cover the text.
264
265 Other hint marker improvements:
266
267 - Hint markers are now 20% smaller by default. While trying to match text sizes
268 set by your operating system, they ended up a bit too large on most systems.
269 Check out the [Styling] documentation if you’d like to change the font size.
270 - Hint markers now have stronger contrast between the background color and the
271 text color, which should make them easier to read.
272 - The CSS for hint markers have been improved, making it easier to use custom
273 [Styling].
274 - When several elements have the same area, the best hint is now correctly given
275 to the _first_ of those elements. Previously, it happened to be the other way
276 around.
277 - The hint marker for a smaller element can no longer cover the hint marker for
278 a larger element (unless you press `<c-space>` to rotate them).
279 - Hint markers are now better positioned when having zoomed the page in or out.
280 - Hints mode is now more robust in general. Several race conditions have been
281 fixed.

285
286 #### Other updates
287
288 - Added: The ability to **export, import and reset all** VimFx options. There
289 are three shiny new buttons for this in VimFx’s options page in the Add-ons
290 Manager!
291 - Added: The `gB` command, which lets you **quickly blacklist** (and
292 un-blacklist) sites.
293 - Added: The `ec` command, for opening the context menu of elements.
294 - Added: The `ep` command, for opening links in new private windows.
295 - Improved: `h`, `l`, `j` and `k` now feel more like scrolling with the arrow
296 keys when held down, by boosting the scrolling speed. See the
297 [`scroll.horizontal_boost` and `scroll.vertical_boost`][scroll-boost] options
298 for more information.
299 - Fixed: VimFx’s find bar integration is now much more robust. Most notably, if
300 you start typing directly after pressing `/` and Firefox is slow at opening
301 the find bar, your keypresses can no longer trigger VimFx commands or Firefox
302 built-in commands.
303 - Improved: VimFx no longer leaks keypresses to the web page in some modes. (For
304 example, counts in Caret mode).
305 - Improved: The `eb` command now finds more clickable elements in the devtools.
306 - Changed: `vimfx.addKeyOverrides` no longer lets you easily break for example
307 Hints mode, by now only being applied to Normal mode. You might need to change
308 your matchers from `(location, mode) => ...` to simply `location => ...`.
309 (Breaking API change.)
310 - Changed: The object passed to custom commands (and custom modes) no longer
311 contains a `uiEvent` property. Instead, there’s an `event` property. This
312 property can be used the same way if you check `vim.isUIEvent(event)` first.
313 (Breaking API change.)
314
315 [scroll-boost]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8bafdf0454043c1630bac8b13d13f1fb4e5ee9e7/documentation/options.md#scrollhorizontal_boost-and-scrollvertical_boost
316
317 ### 0.18.1 (2016-08-27)
318
319 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` no longer crashes on startup.
320 - Fixed: `vimfx.addOptionOverrides` can now override the `prevent_autofocus`
321 pref again.
322
323 ### 0.18.0 (2016-08-20)
324
325 #### Changed default shortcuts
326
327 Some default keyboard shortcuts have been changed.
328
329 - Hint commands. Many of the old ones were difficult to remember, and there was
330 no space for adding new ones.
331
332 - `gf` → `et` (t as in tab)
333 - `gF` → `ew` (w as in window)
334 - `zf` → `ef` (f as in focus)
335 - `zF` → `eb` (b as in browser)
336 - `zv` → `av` (you actually select _all_ of the element’s text)
337
338 (`f`, `yf`, `af`, `v` and `yv` stay unchanged.)
339
340 There is a longer [explanation of these new defaults][hint-shortcuts] in the
341 documentation.
342
343 - `zr` → `gC`. `zr` was the only shortcut starting with `z`. This frees that key
344 up for other uses.
345
346 - `` ` `` → `'`. The `` ` `` shortcut (“scroll to mark”) as well as the `` ` ``
347 mark (“last position mark”) have both been changed to `'`. Both `` ` `` and
348 `'` are used in Vim. `'` is a better default, because it is easier to
349 type–both on an en-US QWERTY keyboard and, more importantly, on some
350 international layouts, such as the sv-SE QWERTY layout.
351
352 Note: If you miss Firefox’s default `'` shortcut to open the Quick Find bar
353 (which is now overridden), remember that VimFx provides `g/` which does the
354 same thing. (You can of course also change VimFx’s shortcuts.)
355
356 See also issue [#788].

359 [#788]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/issues/788
360
361 #### Other updates
362
363 - Added: It is now possible to create [custom hint commands].
364 - Fixed: The bottom-right corner of the page scrollbars can now be used with the
365 mouse again.
366 - Fixed: The toolbar button now correctly toggles VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts
367 dialog again.
368 - Updated locales: fr, ru. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r) and Nicholas
369 Guriev (@mymedia2)!
370
371 [custom hint commands]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/e8d9df31dd5c8df999ac22e3b3b8d548a68c6fa7/documentation/api.md#custom-hint-commands
372
373 ### 0.17.4 (2016-07-11)
374
375 - Improved: The usage of modifier keys in Hints mode is now shown in VimFx’s
376 Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog. The functionality has been there for a long
377 time, but should now be easier to find. Thanks to our awesome translators,
378 the new help text is already available in most supported locales!
379 - Improved: If you submit a form while still being inside one of its text
380 inputs, that text input is now automatically blurred. This lets you use VimFx
381 commands while waiting for the form to submit without having to press
382 `<escape>` first.
383 - Improved: The `gu` command now works better on some pages, by preserving a
384 trailing slash. Thanks to @sinkuu!
385 - Improved: VimFx now recognizes text areas in the TYPO3 CMS.
386 - Improved: The `<escape>` command and the toolbar button now let you escape
387 back to Normal mode if VimFx ever gets stuck thinking that you are typing in a
388 text input.
389
390 ### 0.17.3 (2016-06-27)
391
392 - Improved: The `zF` command can now open even more dropdown menus of buttons.
393
394 ### 0.17.2 (2016-06-19)
395
396 - Improved: The `zF` command now works with more buttons and is able to open
397 dropdown menus of buttons.
398 - Fixed: The `f` commands now recognize more file upload buttons.
399 - Fixed: Rotating hint markers now works more as expected after having entered a
400 few hint chars.
401 - Fixed: Scrolling now works in SVG documents.
402 - Fixed: Opening links in new tabs in Firefox 50.
403 - Updated locales: pt-BR and ru. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)
404 and Nicholas Guriev (@mymedia2)!
405
406 ### 0.17.1 (2016-06-12)
407
408 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer accidentally double-clicks instead of
409 single-clicking. Thanks to Alan Wu (@XrXr)!
410 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer crashes in Firefox 49+.
411 - Fixed: The “URL popup,” shown when hovering or focusing links, now appears
412 again when focusing links using `zf` (regression since 0.17.0).
413 - Updated locale: it. Thanks to Carlo Bertoldi (@cbertoldi)!
414
415 ### 0.17.0 (2016-06-08)
416
417 - Fixed: VimFx no longer scrolls smaller elements on a page instead of the
418 entire page on some sites.
419 - Improved: The `/`, `n` and `N` have been drastically sped up (when
420 [`find_from_top_of_viewport`][find_from_top_of_viewport-1] is on). Previously,
421 they appeared to freeze on some sites, but not anymore.
422 - Improved: You can no longer accidentally trigger VimFx between pressing `/`
423 and the find bar input being is focused.
424 - Improved: The `n` and `N` commands are now more robust.
425 - Improved: “Fullscreen” buttons and “Copy to clipboard” buttons can now be
426 activated the `f` command. Thanks to Alan Wu (@XrXr)!
427 - Changed: After having pressed `m` or `` ` `` VimFx no longer waits
428 indefinitely for you to press a mark key. Instead, the [timeout] option is
429 honored.
430 - Changed: After having pressed `m` or `` ` `` you can now press `<escape>` to
431 abort those commands.
432 - Changed: Find mode is no longer shown in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
433 dialog, to reduce clutter. (This can be changed through custom
434 [styling][styling-1].)
435 - Changed: The `?` command as well as the toolbar button now _toggle_ VimFx’s
436 Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (instead of always showing it, even if it was
437 already shown.)
438 - Changed: Counts are now ignored in Ignore mode. Previously, pressing number
439 keys would both send those key presses to the page _and_ contribute to the
440 count for commands (showing up in the bottom-right corner). This is no longer
441 the case.
442 - Updated locales: fr, zh-CN and zh-TW. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r),
443 @av2000ii and Robert Wang (@cyberrob)!

449 ### 0.16.1 (2016-05-29)
450
451 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer crashes (regression since 0.16.0).
452
453 ### 0.16.0 (2016-05-29)
454
455 - Fixed: The text input focus detection problems introduced in 0.15.1, which
456 sometimes caused VimFx commands to be triggered while typing in text inputs,
457 have been fixed.
458 - Improved: If you press `n` or `N` when there are are no matches for your
459 search, the find bar is no longer opened. Only a notification is shown. The
460 reliability of those notifications has also been improved.
461 - Improved: Hints mode now finds more links.
462 - Improved: Pressing `<c-enter>` in Hints mode now includes more elements.
463 - Updated locales: es, zh-CN. Thanks to @strel and @av2000ii!
464
465 ### 0.15.1 (2016-05-22)
466
467 - Improved: Better hints on Twitter.
468 - Improved: Compatibility with the [Evernote Web Clipper] add-on (and
469 potentially other add-ons with similar UI).
470 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!
471

473
474 ### 0.15.0 (2016-05-18)
475
476 - Improved: Hint markers now appear up to twice as fast on many pages. This is
477 done by creating the hint markers in two phases. Most are created in the
478 first, fast, phase. The rest take the same time as older VimFx versions to
479 show up.
480 - Fixed: VimFx no longer triggers commands while typing in fancy text inputs on
481 some sites, such as when composing a new tweet on Twitter. (See also the
482 [`blur_timeout`] pref.)
483 - Changed: The `<c-enter>` Hints mode command no longer _replaces_ all hint
484 markers on screen (with new ones for all elements on screen). Instead, it
485 _toggles_ your current hint markers with ones for all _other_ elements on
486 screen.
487 - Changed: There was a breaking change to the [`vimfx.setHintMatcher`] function
488 of the `frame.js` config file API. It no longer receives and returns an object
489 (of the shape `{type, semantic}`), but instead simply receives and returns the
490 `type` of the element.
491 - Improved: Some internal robustness refactoring.
492 - Updated locales: de, id, nl and zh-CN. Thanks to @just-barcodes, Yoppy
493 Halilintar (@comepradz), @HJTP, @av2000ii and @mozillazg.

497
498 ### 0.14.3 (2016-05-08)
499
500 - Fixed: Version 0.14.2 attempted to fix smooth scrolling speed in newer Firefox
501 versions. However, there was a tiny typo that caused the fix not to work. That
502 typo has been corrected.
503
504 ### 0.14.2 (2016-05-08)
505
506 - Fixed: Smooth scrolling speed is now correct again in newer Firefox versions.
507 - Fixed: The `yv` Caret mode command now only copies text that you can see on
508 screen (not any hidden text that might be on the page), making it truly work
509 like `zv` followed by `y`, as intended. This problem was very noticeable on
510 Slack. This also improves copying of 'contenteditable' elements using `yf`.
511 - Fixed: `<escape>` and arrow key handling as well as hint markers in the
512 devtools now work correctly again in newer Firefox versions.
513 - Fixed: VimFx no longer makes it impossible to open the Developer Toolbar.
514 - Improved: VimFx now ignores `<numlock>` and `<capslock>`. If your keyboard
515 sends `<numlock>` before some symbols, such as `<numlock>$` instead of just
516 `$`, shortcuts like `gx$` now work out of the box. This also means that you
517 can use `<capslock>` instead of `<shift>` when typing the `J` in `gJ`, for
518 example.
519 - Improved: Some minor cosmetic tweaks in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
520 dialog.
521
522 ### 0.14.1 (2016-04-30)
523
524 - Fixed: The Find commands (such as `/`, `n` and `N`) no longer crash on some
525 sites (regression since 0.14.0).
526
527 ### 0.14.0 (2016-04-29)
528
529 - Added: [Caret mode], which lets you copy text from web pages using the
530 keyboard.
531 - Improved: The Find commands (such as `/`, `n` and `N`) now search from the top
532 of the viewport, instead of from the top of the document, which is more
533 Vim-like and less disorienting. To read more about it (or to return to the
534 Firefox default behavior) please see the [`find_from_top_of_viewport`] pref.
535 - Improved: Compatibility with the [BackTrack Tab History] add-on.
536 - Added: The `<c-enter>` Hints mode command, which creates hint markers for
537 _all_ elements.
538 - Fixed: `__dirname` inside config files now works on Windows. Thanks to
539 Zhong Jianxin (@azuwis)!
540 - Fixed: Unnecessary full-page hint markers on some sites, such as Hackernews,
541 no longer appear.

546
547 ### 0.13.2 (2016-04-08)
548
549 - Improved: The “last position mark” `` ` `` now works more reliably.
550 - Improved: More video players are now recognized. Many video players lets you
551 press `<space>` while focused to toggle play/pause. VimFx tries to detect if
552 the currently focused element is a video player. If so, `<space>` is passed to
553 the video player instead of scrolling the page. (For those interested, see
554 also the [`adjustable_element_keys`] pref.)
555
556 [`adjustable_element_keys`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/645e35d7d82019b0551534c43926bc126e7105bd/documentation/options.md#adjustable_element_keys
557
558 ### 0.13.1 (2016-04-01)
559
560 - Fixed: Blacklisting of some XUL pages.
561 - Fixed: The current mode is no longer lost when a page loads. For example, if
562 you press `zF` while a page is loading, the markers no longer disappear.
563 - Fixed: Elements that you have focused using an `f` command no longer get stuck
564 appearing as if you’d put the mouse pointer.
565 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @mozillazg!
566
567 ### 0.13.0 (2016-03-19)
568
569 - Added: The `T` command, which opens a new tab after the current.
570 - Changed: The `gl` command now deals with _visited_ tabs only.
571 - Added: The [`gL`] command, which deals with <em>un</em>visited tabs only, in
572 oldest-first order. Use this to step through your unvisited background tabs in
573 the order you opened them (for example using the `F` command).
574 - Improved: The `gi` command no longer tries to focus the last focused text
575 input if it has been removed from the page. If so, it finds a new one instead.
576 - Fixed: You can now type in sidebar text inputs (such as in the history
577 sidebar) without having to switch to Ignore mode.
578 - Changed: If you enter Ignore mode you will now stay in Ignore mode in that tab
579 until you explicitly exit it (by pressing `<s-escape>`), even if you reload
580 the page or follow a link. If Ignore mode was entered automatically because of
581 the [blacklist][blacklist-2], though, you will be automatically returned to
582 Normal mode if
583 the URL changes to a non-blacklisted page.
584 - Added: VimFx can now automatically enter and exit Ignore mode based on the
585 currently focused element. Currently, the [wasavi] extension as well as
586 [CodeMirror] in Vim mode are detected. Both of those provide Vim-style
587 editors. This allows sending `<escape>` to those editors in order to exit
588 their Insert mode, without blurring the editor.
589 - Improved: CodeMirror editors now get better hints, keeping the cursor where
590 you left it.
591 - Improved: The [blacklist][blacklist-2] is now applied faster on some pages.
592 - Improved: Many audio and video elements are now recognized as “adjustable”,
593 allowing you to press for example `<space>` on them to toggle play/pause,
594 without scrolling the page.
595 - Improved: Scrolling by pages, such as using the `<space>` command, now takes
596 fixed heaears and footers into account, just like Firefox does.
597 - Fixed: Access keys now work correctly in context menus in the devtools and
598 `about:config`.
599 - Improved: The arrow keys now Just Work in the devtools, even if you have bound
600 them to VimFx commands.
601 - Changed: The public API has been removed, and turned into the Config file API.
602 If you were already using a config file, it will no longer work. You need to
603 set up a new one, but you should be able to simply copy and paste the contents
604 of the old one into the new one. Read the [config file] documentation for more
605 information.
606 - Changed: There are a few minor breaking changes to the API, though I doubt it
607 will affect anyone.
608 - If you use [`vimfx.on`], you probably need to adjust the arguments of the
609 your callbacks. They are now _always_ passed an object of data, instead of
610 sometimes passing the data directly.
611 - `match.focus` of [match object]s has been removed, and replaced by
612 `vim.focusType` of [vim object]s.
613 - Fixed: The toolbar button’s icon is now correctly sized when setting
614 `layout.css.devPixelsPerPx` to `2`. Thanks to Robert Ma (@Hexcles) and Dale
615 Whinham (@dwhinham)!
616 - Fixed: Find commands now work when the find bar was opened before the page had
617 finished loading.
618 - Improved: Lots of internal improvements. This should make VimFx faster, more
619 reliable and more responsive.
620 - All keyboard event handling (except `<late>` shortcuts) are now handled in
621 the UI process, instead of mostly in each tab’s web page content process.
622 This should make VimFx’s shortcuts more reliable and responsive.
623 - Removed all synchronous message passing (execpt for `<late>` keypresses).
624 Mozilla recommends using them only where absolutely necessary. Turns out
625 VimFx doesn’t need them anymore!
626 - The `f` commands are now more reliable. Before, they could crash on rare
627 occasions (on certain web pages), but that is less likely now.
628 - Less `MutationObserver`s are now used. This should improve performance.
629 - Less uncaught errors (especially on shutdown).
630 - Lots of minor improvements.
631 - Updated locale: ja. Thanks to Kaoru Esashika (@pluser)!

641
642 ### 0.12.0 (2016-02-03)
643
644 - Improved: More clickable elements are now recognized. Most notably, elements
645 with click event listeners added by JavaScript now get hints.
646 - Improved: Autofocus prevention after using the `[` and `]` commands.
647 - Added: In VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (which can be opened by
648 pressing `?`) you can now click on any command to open VimFx’s settings page
649 in the Add-ons Manager and automatically select the text input for that
650 command, letting you edit its shortcuts. Tip: Use the `zF` command to click
651 without using the mouse.
652 - Changed: Autofocus is no longer prevented in Firefox internal pages, such as
653 `about:preferences`, `about:addons` and `about:config` (as well as other XUL
654 pages).
655 - Fixed: VimFx and the Beyond Australis extension do not conflict with each
656 other anymore.
657 - Fixed: The `gH` command no longer nags you about “No back/forward history”
658 even though there is.
659 - Added: The `gl` command now takes a [count][gl-count].
660 - Improved: Optimized CPU usage in Hints mode. (See also the [`hints_sleep`]
661 pref.)
662 - Improved: The `H` and `L` commands should now be more reliable in Firefox 43
663 and later.
664 - Changed: There was a tiny breaking change to the Public API, though I doubt it
665 will affect anyone. (See [commit 0ca807605e] if you’re especially interested.)
666 - Improved: _Several_ minor things, and some really nice internal refactoring.
667 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
668
669 [`hints_sleep`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/92b483c4a4f6da0b2c998267e0f01d3d999f93b6/documentation/options.md#hints_sleep

672
673 ### 0.11.0 (2016-01-15)
674
675 - Fixed: The `` ` `` command is no longer broken.
676 - Fixed: Memory leak.
677 - Added: The `gl` command, which takes you to the most recent tab.
678 - Improved: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now scrollable using VimFx’s
679 scrolling commands. To allow for this, the search field is no longer
680 autofocused. Instead, press `/` to open it.
681 - Improved: Using the `f` commands, such as `f` and `zf`, now works like
682 actually moving your mouse onto the link, making hover menus and such-like
683 appear.
684 - Improved: VimFx should now work better with Google Drive Documents, Etherpad
685 and a few other fancy text editors.
686 - Improved: The `]` command now works on google.com.
687 - Improved: Checkboxes and menu items on gmail.com are now given hints by the
688 `f` command.
689 - Improved: The `gi` command now also recognizes 'contenteditable' elements.
690 - Improved: Hint markers now move along together with their elements.
691 - Fixed: Hint markers should now be correctly positioned when zooming.
692 - Fixed: The toolbar button icon should now look correctly on Retina screens.
693 - Added: You may now disable counts by using toggling the [`counts_enabled`]
694 pref.
695 - Updated locale: de. Thanks to @just-barcodes!
696 - Improved: Several minor things.
697
698 [`counts_enabled`]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/8dae7aec9008595da31b939d5ae2d239849cf6dc/documentation/options.md#counts_enabled
699
700 ### 0.10.0 (2015-12-09)
701
702 - Added: The `zF` command, which lets you click browser elements.
703 - Improved: The scrolling commands can now scroll browser elements (in other
704 words, not only web page content), by first selecting the scollable element
705 using `zF`.
706 - Added: The `gr` command, which toggles [Reader View].
707 - Added: The `gX` command, which opens the Recently Closed Tabs menu at the
708 middle of the screen.
709 - Added: The keys you’ve typed so far of a command, as well the count, are now
710 shown in a [notification]. (You may disable this using the
711 [`notify_entered_keys`] pref.)
712 - Improved: When commands don’t do anything, they show a [notification] instead,
713 letting you know that you actually pressed the right keys. For example, if you
714 press `f` but there are no markable elements visible, a notification is shown
715 telling you so, instead of silently doing nothing.
716 - Improved: `<space>` now scrolls _about a line less_ than a full page, just
717 like Firefox does by default. `d` scroll about _half_ a line less (by
718 default), so that pressing `d` twice works like pressing `<space>` once. (See
719 the [`scroll.full_page_adjustment` and `scroll.half_page_adjustment`] prefs
720 for more information.)
721 - Improved: `gi` now only selects all text in its text input if you haven’t
722 focused a text input yet (allowing you to easily replace pre-filled text),
723 instead of _always_ doing so. Otherwise, it now puts the cursor where you left
724 off typing the last time.
725 - Fixed: The `f` commands now put the cursor where you left off typing the last
726 time when focusing a text input. Previously, they accidentally selected all
727 text in the text input (use `zf` for that behavior).
728 - Fixed: Yet a scrolling fix. VimFx’s scrolling commands should now “just work”
729 on even more sites.
730 - Fixed: AltGr should now work out of the box on Windows. (See the
731 [`ignore_ctrl_alt`] pref for more information.)
732 - Removed: The el-GR, hu and pl locales were sadly too out of date to be useful,
733 and nobody has shown interest in updating them, so they were removed.
734 - Updated locales: id, de and zh-CN. Thanks to Yoppy Halilintar, @just-barcodes
735 and @mozillazg!
736 - Fixed: Several tiny bugs.

743
744 ### 0.9.0 (2015-12-02)
745
746 - Fixed: Links with the `onclick` attribute can now be opened in new tabs again.
747 (Regression since 0.8.0.)
748 - Fixed: The text size in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now
749 correctly resized.
750 - Added: The `gH` command. It opens the back/forward button context menu in the
751 middle of the window, allowing you to choose a history entry with the arrow
752 keys and `<enter>`.
753
754 ### 0.8.0 (2015-12-01)
755
756 - Fixed: VimFx now works properly in tabs moved to other windows.
757 - Fixed: An unreliable check for multi-process mode has been eliminated, fixing
758 various problems for some users.
759 - Fixed: VimFx’s toolbar button now changes color correctly when switching
760 between blacklisted and non-blacklisted tabs.
761 - Fixed: Dead keys now work out of the box on Windows.
762 - Improved: Links with the `onclick` attribute (abused as buttons) can no longer
763 get the same hint as another link.
764 - Added: The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (shown by pressing `?`) is now
765 searchable.
766 - Added: The `g/` command. It’s like `/` but searches links only.
767
768 - Added: [Marks].
769
770 - Use `ma` to mark the current scroll position and `` `a `` to return to it.
771 (You may substitute `a` with any key press.)
772 - Use ``` `` ``` to return to the position before the last `gg`, `G`, `0`,
773 `$`, `/`, `n`, `N` or `` ` ``. (You can change this mark using the
774 [`last_scroll_position_mark`] pref.)
775
776 - Added: Window commands.
777
778 - `w`: Open new window.
779 - `W`: Open new private window.
780 - `gw`: Move tab to new window.
781 - `gF`: Follow link in new window.
782

785
786 ### 0.7.3 (2015-11-22)
787
788 - Fixed: Scrolling now works correctly in pages in quirks mode (lacking a
789 doctype), such as Hackernews.
790 - Improved: The largest scrollable element is now detected better in frames.
791 - Fixed: Hints mode now exits correctly when focusing a text input using `af`,
792 or `f` with a count.
793
794 ### 0.7.2 (2015-11-21)
795
796 - Fixed: The blinking text caret now always appears correctly when focusing text
797 inputs.
798
799 ### 0.7.1 (2015-11-21)
800
801 - Fixed: The scrolling commands should now “just work” when using non-default
802 zoom or DPI settings, most notably on Google Groups.
803
804 ### 0.7.0 (2015-11-19)
805
806 - Changed: Instead of using system notifications, which turned out to be a bit
807 too intrusive, [notifications] are now similar to the “URL popup” (shown when
808 hovering or focusing links) but are placed on the opposite side,.
809 - Changed: The “Focus next element” and “Focus previous element” commands have
810 been removed. The reason they existed was to let `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` only
811 cycle between text inputs (as opposed to _all_ focusable elements) after
812 you’ve pressed `gi`. Now, `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` are handled specially instead,
813 and _only_ after pressing `gi`. The reason for this change is that the now
814 removed commands were too intrusive, breaking user habits. One of VimFx’s main
815 goal is _not_ to do that. (You can turn the special handling of `<tab>` and
816 `<s-tab>` off using the the new [`focus_previous_key` and `focus_next_key`]
817 prefs.)
818 - Fixed: The scrolling commands should now “just work” in a lot more situations,
819 most notably on Gmail and Google Groups. More scrollable elements are also
820 recognized by the `f` and `zf` commands.
821 - Improved: The right border of hint markers for scrollable elements is now
822 styled to remind of a scroll bar, making them easier to recognize among hints
823 for links.
824 - Improved/Changed: `J` and `gJ` now allow a count on the first tab.
825 Consequently, `K` and `gK` now allow a count on the _last_ tab.
826 - Changed: `gJ` and `gK` can no longer be used to pin or unpin tabs. They now
827 only wrap around tabs of the same pinned state. Use `gp` to toggle between
828 pinned and non-pinned.
829 - Fixed: Many elements that got a hint before VimFx 0.6.0 now do again.
830 - Improved: Comment fields on Facebook can now be focused using `f` and blurred
831 using `<escape>`.
832 - Improved: VimFx’s toolbar button is no greyed out when you focus a text input.
833 This is to show that your key presses will be passed into the text input
834 rather than activating VimFx commands.
835 - Added: [`g0`, `g^` and `g$` now accept counts][tab-index-counts], allowing you
836 to go to tab number _count._
837 - Improved: `gi` now finds text inputs inside frames.
838 - Fixed: “gi mode” is now exited properly when blurring a text input.
839 - Fixed: `<select>` elements are no longer considered to be text inputs when
840 using `<tab>` and `<s-tab>` in “gi mode.”
841 - Fixed: Using `<force>` or `<late>` in a shortcut no longer applies to _every_
842 shortcut for the command, but only that shortcut.
843 - Fixed: The order of the Previous/Next page patterns is now respected. This
844 caused the wrong link to be picked by the `[` and `]` commands on some pages.

850 ### 0.6.2 (2015-11-11)
851
852 - Improved: If the entire page isn’t scrollable, the largest scrollable element
853 is scrolled instead.
854 - Fixed: VimFx’s keyboard shortcuts now works on slowly loading pages.
855 - Fixed: Numbers may now be used as shortcut keys (overriding counts).
856 - Fixed: The toolbar button’s icon is now correctly sized in high DPI.
857 - Fixed: Hint markers are now correctly positioned when zooming using the “Zoom
858 text only” option.
859 - Fixed: The `P` command now works with the InstantFox add-on.
860
861 ### 0.6.1 (2015-11-10)
862
863 - Fixed: If you customized the “esc” command before VimFx 0.6.0 it should now
864 work as expected.
865 - Fixed: `<tab>` now works as expected in the location bar and in the dev tools.
866 - Fixed: Light-weight themes can no longer make VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
867 dialog and hint markers unreadable.
868 - Added: The [notifications\_enabled] option.
869
870 [notifications\_enabled]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/56c4b7c514ea8b58d2cdcecf3d2654648c48ca31/documentation/options.md#notifications_enabled
871
872 ### 0.6.0 (2015-11-09)
873
874 ##### Most important (breaking) changes
875
876 - VimFx now works properly with **any keyboard layout.** Users of **multiple
877 layouts** should enable the **[ignore keyboard layout] option.** #249 #259
878
879 - Features related to disabling VimFx, and to the [toolbar button]:
880
881 - **Insert Mode** has been renamed to **_Ignore_ mode.**
882 - **[Blacklisted][blacklist] sites** now **enter Ignore mode automatically,**
883 instead of being specially handled.
884 - The feature to click the toolbar button (or press `<a-V>`) to **disable
885 VimFx** has been **removed.** Use **Ignore mode** (`i`) and the
886 **[blacklist] instead.**
887 - The **toolbar button** is now **red in Ignore mode** (which also means that
888 it is red on blacklisted sites) and green otherwise (never grey anymore).
889 - The toolbar button no longer offers to (un-)blacklist the current domain.
890 (Head into VimFx’s settings page in the Add-ons Manager and add
891 `*currentdomain.com*` to the [blacklist] option yourself instead.)
892
893 (See [commit 3552282] for more information.)
894
895 - **Some default shortcuts have changed,** mostly because they conflicted with
896 standard Firefox shortcuts: #308
897
898 - `<c-J>` → `gJ`
899
900 - `<c-K>` → `gK`
901
902 - `g^` and `gH` → `g0`
903
904 `g^` now selects the first _non pinned_ tab instead, while `g0`
905 selects the first tab regardless of whether it is pinned or not. #317
906
907 - `<c-e>` (alias for `j`) and `<c-y>` (alias for `k`) have been removed.
908
909 - `<c-f>` → `<space>` and `<c-b>` → `<s-space>`
910
911 - `vf` → `zf`
912
913 This frees up `v` for future shortcuts (instead making `z` a
914 “namespace” key, just like in Vim).
915
916 - To **exit Ignore mode:** `<escape>` → `<s-escape>`. This is because Ignore
917 mode has replaced the disable feature, as well as the special blacklist
918 state (see above). Sites are likely to use `<escape>` but not `<s-escape>`.
919 (In a way, this new role of Ignore mode also means that the old (many times
920 broken) shortcut to disable VimFx (`<a-V>`) has been replaced by `i`.) #64
921 \#375 #432
922
923 - VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now help only, and more accessible.
924 To **customize keyboard shortcuts,** go to VimFx’s settings page **in the
925 Add-ons Manager,** just like you would to customize other settings. Also,
926 **commas** between every key are **no longer needed:** Type `gJ` instead of
927 `g,J`.
928
929 - For performance reasons, **Hint markers** are now placed vertically **centered
930 instead of at the top** of the element. Don’t be surprised if you see the same
931 hint repeated several times**—links that go to the same place now get the same
932 hint.** The “Smart hints” option has been removed—hints are _always_ smart
933 now, and a lot smarter than before. Finally, hints now also work in the new
934 tab page, the Add-ons Manager and the preferences page. If you want to, you
935 can read more about [the `f` commands]. \#51 #60 #176 #320 #325 #468 #471 #475
936
937 - The **`F`** command now _always_ opens tabs in new **background** tabs, while
938 **`gf`** has been added to open tabs in new **foreground** tabs. #227 #464
939
940 - **Autofocus prevention** is now **off by default.** One of VimFx’s core
941 philosophies is to be nice to your browser habits. Some find autofocus
942 prevention too big a change. Turn it on again if you like it! By the way,
943 autofocus prevention now works much more reliably and should not cause issues
944 with other extensions. #497 #541
945
946 - The **“Scroll step”** option has been **removed**. The scrolling commands that
947 used it now **work like the arrow keys instead,** and are customized just like
948 them. See [scrolling prefs] for more information.
949
950 - Speaking of scrolling, **which elements scrolls** when you use VimFx’s
951 scrolling commands **has changed.** See [scrolling commands] for more
952 information.
953
954 ##### New features
955
956 - New commands:
957
958 - `gp` pins or unpins the current tab. (Also see `g^` and `g0` mentioned
959 above.) #121
960 - `yt` duplicates the current tab. #121
961 - `0` and `^` scroll to the far left, and `$` scrolls to the far right.
962 - [`gi`] has finally been implemented. #47
963 - [Ignore mode `<s-f1>`] let you run a Normal mode command without exiting
964 Ignore mode.
965
966 - In Hints mode you can now hold ctrl and alt to change behavior of the matched
967 marker. Hold shift to temporarily make the hints see-through. See [the `f`
968 commands] for more information. #220 #421 #484
969
970 - Some commands now accept [counts]. #374
971
972 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that work inside text inputs. See the
973 [`<force>`] key for more information. #258
974
975 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that the page can override. See the
976 [`<late>`] key for more information.
977
978 - A number of [advanced options] have been added. Rather than listing everything
979 regarding them here, follow that link if you’re interested. #452 #489
980
981 - You may now, if you want to, configure VimFx through a [config file], using
982 the new [public API]. Customizing VimFx through a config file also gives extra
983 abilities, such as [site-specific options][option-overrides] and [disabling
984 certain commands on certain sites][key-overrides]. It also allows to add
985 [custom commands] \(and other extensions to extend VimFx). #158 #235 #255 #261
986 \#300 #408 #445 #490 #515
987
988 - It is now easier to customize VimFx through custom [styling]. An example is
989 changing the way hint markers look. #220 #233 #424 #432 #465
990
991 - VimFx now has [documentation] and a [wiki].
992
993 - A few new locales were added:
994
995 - fr. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r)!
996 - pt-BR. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)!
997 - sv-SE. Thanks to Andreas Lindhé (@lindhe)!
998
999 ##### Improvements
1000
1001 - VimFx is now multi-process/Electrolysis/e10s compatible! This means that you
1002 can run VimFx on a version of Firefox with multi-process enabled without
1003 issues, and that we’re future proof for the day when Firefox becomes
1004 multi-process by default. Best of all, it also made VimFx more reliable in
1005 non-multi-process (“regular”) Firefox. #378
1006
1007 - The `[` and `]` commands are now smarter, recognizing more links to the
1008 previous/next page correctly. You may read more about [previous/next page
1009 patterns]. #396
1010
1011 - The `n` and `N` commands now notify you when they wrap around the page, or the
1012 phrase you searched for could not be found. #398
1013
1014 - _All_ shortcuts in _all modes_ can now be customized. For example, this allows
1015 you to disable VimFx’s Vim-style `<enter>` behavior in the find bar. #222 #390
1016 \#421
1017
1018 - The `p` and `P` commands are now smarter regarding whether to treat the
1019 clipboard contents as a URL or a search, by working exactly like pasting in
1020 the location bar. They also now read the selection clipboard, if available.
1021 \#353 #382
1022
1023 - VimFx’s toolbar button is now properly implemented. #303 #349 #383
1024
1025 - Most locales were updated. Thanks to our awesome [translators]!
1026
1027 ##### Minor bug fixes
1028
1029 - VimFx now works correctly in tabs dragged to other windows. #57
1030 - The `p` command is no longer broken. #494
1031 - Non-ASCII shortcut keys now work properly. #433
1032 - The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog can no longer be covered by page elements.
1033 \#477
1034 - Hint markers can no longer be covered by page elements.
1035 - VimFx no longer causes scripts on icloud.com to get stuck in an infinite loop.

1061
1062 ### 0.5.17 (2015-01-23)
1063
1064 - Fixed: The hints generation no longer crashes on some pages (regression since
1065 version 0.5.15).
1066
1067 ### 0.5.16 (2015-01-22)
1068
1069 - Fixed: The toolbar button no longer throws errors. (This fix should have been
1070 in 0.5.15 but was forgotten. Luckily an AMO reviewer found it.)
1071
1072 ### 0.5.15 (2015-01-21)
1073
1074 - Improved: This version is now forwards-compatible with the upcoming version
1075 0.6.0. Downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.14 or older might cause VimFx to crash,
1076 but downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.15 is safe.
1077 - Fixed: Non-hintchars key presses in hints mode are now suppressed. They used
1078 to be passed along to the browser, which could confusingly activate site
1079 commands.
1080 - Fixed: The 'f' command now always opens links in the same tab. Links used to
1081 be able to force a new tab or window.
1082 - Fixed: Pressing 'Esc' in the location bar now restores the URL, as is the
1083 default behaviour of Firefox. You may now also close Firefox dialogs using
1084 'Esc'.
1085 - Improved: Updated the de locale. Thanks to Alexander Haeussler!
1086 - Improved: Updated the pl locale. Thanks to morethanoneanimal!
1087
1088 ### 0.5.14 (2014-08-16)
1089
1090 - Fixed: Locales should now work properly.
1091 - Improved: Updated the zh-CN locale (@mozillazg).
1092 - Improved: Updated the de locale (@Kambfhase).
1093 - Added: Japanese locale (@pluser).
1094 - Fixed: If you switched to another tab or window while an `<input>` element
1095 was focused and then switched back, the `<input>` element got blurred, while
1096 it should have stayed focused. This caused the auto-type feature of KeePassX
1097 to break.
1098
1099 ### 0.5.13 (2014-08-02)
1100
1101 - Fixed: The vote button on StackExchange sites are now markable again.
1102 - Improved: Detection of previous/next links. Should work better on gmail now.
1103 - Fixed: It is now possible to use Enter/Return in keyboard shortcuts.
1104 - Improved: The n/N commands (etc.) now work even if you didn’t open the finbar
1105 using the VimFx command (such as the default key binding ctrl+f, or by
1106 clicking a menu item).
1107 - Improved: It is now possible to blur text inputs without sending Esc to the
1108 page, which could cause dialogs etc. to annoyingly close.
1109 - Improved: Updated the el-GR locale (@sirodoht).
1110 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention sometimes made text inputs impossible to focus
1111 until you reloaded the page.
1112 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now works on more sites than before.
1113 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now prevents _all_ automatic focusing (not
1114 just when the page loads). This makes devdocs.io much easier to use.
1115 - Added: When viewing images directly and the image has been resized to fit the
1116 screen the image is now markable, allowing you to toggle zoom on it using the
1117 keyboard.
1118 - Fixed: It is no longer possible to add conflicting shortcuts (such as adding
1119 'a' when 'af' and 'as' are already present).
1120
1121 ### 0.5.12 (2014-06-01)
1122
1123 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention got stuck sometimes, making it impossible to
1124 focus inputs.
1125
1126 ### 0.5.11 (2014-06-01)
1127
1128 - Fixed: The focus search bar command was broken.
1129 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention was broken.
1130 - Fixed: The top bar on YouTube could not be accessed by VimFx.
1131 - Fixed: You can no longer add blank hotkeys.
1132 - Improved: Tab Groups are supported.
1133 - Improved: Matching of previous/next links should be more reliable.
1134 - Improved: A few minor things.
1135
1136 ### 0.5.10 (2014-05-07)
1137
1138 - Fixed yet another bug related to the default preferences
1139
1140 ### 0.5.9 (2014-05-04)
1141
1142 - Fixed a bug with default preferences not being set
1143 - Fixed gg and G to be faster
1144
1145 ### 0.5.8 (2014-04-18)
1146
1147 - AMO Preliminary Review bug fix (sorry for such long delay)
1148
1149 ### 0.5.7 (2014-03-03)
1150
1151 - Bug fix
1152
1153 ### 0.5.6 (2014-02-26)
1154
1155 - Updated some translations
1156 - Updated pagination patterns and logic
1157
1158 ### 0.5.5 (2014-01-03)
1159
1160 - Hotfix release to address a bug that has been introduced in 0.5.4
1161
1162 ### 0.5.4 (2014-01-03)
1163
1164 - Fix for popup passthrough mode stucking
1165 - Make toolbar button click depend on current mode
1166 - Higher weight markers should not be overlapped
1167 - Refactor find mode to use Firefox native search bar
1168 - Bump minimum required Firefox version to 25
1169 - Added commands to go in the URL path
1170 - Added commands to navigate previous and next links with customizable link
1171 patterns
1172 - Use Firefox 24+ native console API
1173 - Update zh-CN localization
1174
1175 ### 0.5.3 (2013-10-16)
1176
1177 - Lots of refactoring
1178 - Insert mode (`i` command)
1179 - Follow multiple links with `af` command
1180 - Hint marker rotation with `space` while in hints mode
1181
1182 ### 0.5.1 (2013-08-21)
1183
1184 - Fixed regression with stylesheets
1185 - Updated icon
1186
1187 ### 0.5 (2013-08-19)
