1 ### 0.20.1 (2016-10-09)
3 - Improved: Caret mode is now a bit more robust. It can no longer make you end
4 up with [Firefox’s own Caret mode] accidentally enabled.
5 - Improved: If you try use for example `<ctrl>-j` as a keyboard shortcut, VimFx
6 will now tell you that you probably want `<c-j>` instead.
7 - Fixed: Using a keyboard shortcut to switch keyboard layout in GNOME while
8 inside a text input no longer causes the focus of that text input to be lost
9 when the Prevent autofocus option is enabled.
10 - Updated locale: zh-CN. Thanks to @av2000ii!

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

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

159 [#788]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/issues/788
163 - Added: It is now possible to create [custom hint commands].
164 - Fixed: The bottom-right corner of the page scrollbars can now be used with the
166 - Fixed: The toolbar button now correctly toggles VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts
168 - Updated locales: fr, ru. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r) and Nicholas

173 ### 0.17.4 (2016-07-11)
175 - Improved: The usage of modifier keys in Hints mode is now shown in VimFx’s
176 Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog. The functionality has been there for a long
177 time, but should now be easier to find. Thanks to our awesome translators,
178 the new help text is already available in most supported locales!
179 - Improved: If you submit a form while still being inside one of its text
180 inputs, that text input is now automatically blurred. This lets you use VimFx
181 commands while waiting for the form to submit without having to press
183 - Improved: The `gu` command now works better on some pages, by preserving a
184 trailing slash. Thanks to @sinkuu!
185 - Improved: VimFx now recognizes text areas in the TYPO3 CMS.
186 - Improved: The `<escape>` command and the toolbar button now let you escape
187 back to Normal mode if VimFx ever gets stuck thinking that you are typing in a
190 ### 0.17.3 (2016-06-27)
192 - Improved: The `zF` command can now open even more dropdown menus of buttons.
194 ### 0.17.2 (2016-06-19)
196 - Improved: The `zF` command now works with more buttons and is able to open
197 dropdown menus of buttons.
198 - Fixed: The `f` commands now recognize more file upload buttons.
199 - Fixed: Rotating hint markers now works more as expected after having entered a
201 - Fixed: Scrolling now works in SVG documents.
202 - Fixed: Opening links in new tabs in Firefox 50.
203 - Updated locales: pt-BR and ru. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)
204 and Nicholas Guriev (@mymedia2)!
206 ### 0.17.1 (2016-06-12)
208 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer accidentally double-clicks instead of
209 single-clicking. Thanks to Alan Wu (@XrXr)!
210 - Fixed: The `zF` command no longer crashes in Firefox 49+.
211 - Fixed: The “URL popup,” shown when hovering or focusing links, now appears
212 again when focusing links using `zf` (regression since 0.17.0).
213 - Updated locale: it. Thanks to Carlo Bertoldi (@cbertoldi)!
215 ### 0.17.0 (2016-06-08)
217 - Fixed: VimFx no longer scrolls smaller elements on a page instead of the
218 entire page on some sites.
219 - Improved: The `/`, `n` and `N` have been drastically sped up (when
220 [`find_from_top_of_viewport`][find_from_top_of_viewport-1] is on). Previously,
221 they appeared to freeze on some sites, but not anymore.
222 - Improved: You can no longer accidentally trigger VimFx between pressing `/`
223 and the find bar input being is focused.
224 - Improved: The `n` and `N` commands are now more robust.
225 - Improved: “Fullscreen” buttons and “Copy to clipboard” buttons can now be
226 activated the `f` command. Thanks to Alan Wu (@XrXr)!
227 - Changed: After having pressed `m` or `` ` `` VimFx no longer waits
228 indefinitely for you to press a mark key. Instead, the [timeout] option is
230 - Changed: After having pressed `m` or `` ` `` you can now press `<escape>` to
231 abort those commands.
232 - Changed: Find mode is no longer shown in VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
233 dialog, to reduce clutter. (This can be changed through custom
234 [styling][styling-1].)
235 - Changed: The `?` command as well as the toolbar button now _toggle_ VimFx’s
236 Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog (instead of always showing it, even if it was
238 - Changed: Counts are now ignored in Ignore mode. Previously, pressing number
239 keys would both send those key presses to the page _and_ contribute to the
240 count for commands (showing up in the bottom-right corner). This is no longer
242 - Updated locales: fr, zh-CN and zh-TW. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r),
243 @av2000ii and Robert Wang (@cyberrob)!

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

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

345 [BackTrack Tab History]: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backtrack-tab-history/
347 ### 0.13.2 (2016-04-08)
349 - Improved: The “last position mark” `` ` `` now works more reliably.
350 - Improved: More video players are now recognized. Many video players lets you
351 press `<space>` while focused to toggle play/pause. VimFx tries to detect if
352 the currently focused element is a video player. If so, `<space>` is passed to
353 the video player instead of scrolling the page. (For those interested, see
354 also the [`adjustable_element_keys`] pref.)

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

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

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

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

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

650 ### 0.6.2 (2015-11-11)
652 - Improved: If the entire page isn’t scrollable, the largest scrollable element
654 - Fixed: VimFx’s keyboard shortcuts now works on slowly loading pages.
655 - Fixed: Numbers may now be used as shortcut keys (overriding counts).
656 - Fixed: The toolbar button’s icon is now correctly sized in high DPI.
657 - Fixed: Hint markers are now correctly positioned when zooming using the “Zoom
659 - Fixed: The `P` command now works with the InstantFox add-on.
661 ### 0.6.1 (2015-11-10)
663 - Fixed: If you customized the “esc” command before VimFx 0.6.0 it should now
665 - Fixed: `<tab>` now works as expected in the location bar and in the dev tools.
666 - Fixed: Light-weight themes can no longer make VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help
667 dialog and hint markers unreadable.
668 - Added: The [notifications\_enabled] option.
670 [notifications\_enabled]: https://github.com/akhodakivskiy/VimFx/blob/56c4b7c514ea8b58d2cdcecf3d2654648c48ca31/documentation/options.md#notifications_enabled
672 ### 0.6.0 (2015-11-09)
674 ##### Most important (breaking) changes
676 - VimFx now works properly with **any keyboard layout.** Users of **multiple
677 layouts** should enable the **[ignore keyboard layout] option.** #249 #259
679 - Features related to disabling VimFx, and to the [toolbar button]:
681 - **Insert Mode** has been renamed to **_Ignore_ mode.**
682 - **[Blacklisted][blacklist] sites** now **enter Ignore mode automatically,**
683 instead of being specially handled.
684 - The feature to click the toolbar button (or press `<a-V>`) to **disable
685 VimFx** has been **removed.** Use **Ignore mode** (`i`) and the
686 **[blacklist] instead.**
687 - The **toolbar button** is now **red in Ignore mode** (which also means that
688 it is red on blacklisted sites) and green otherwise (never grey anymore).
689 - The toolbar button no longer offers to (un-)blacklist the current domain.
690 (Head into VimFx’s settings page in the Add-ons Manager and add
691 `*currentdomain.com*` to the [blacklist] option yourself instead.)
693 (See [commit 3552282] for more information.)
695 - **Some default shortcuts have changed,** mostly because they conflicted with
696 standard Firefox shortcuts: #308
702 - `g^` and `gH` → `g0`
704 `g^` now selects the first _non pinned_ tab instead, while `g0`
705 selects the first tab regardless of whether it is pinned or not. #317
707 - `<c-e>` (alias for `j`) and `<c-y>` (alias for `k`) have been removed.
709 - `<c-f>` → `<space>` and `<c-b>` → `<s-space>`
713 This frees up `v` for future shortcuts (instead making `z` a
714 “namespace” key, just like in Vim).
716 - To **exit Ignore mode:** `<escape>` → `<s-escape>`. This is because Ignore
717 mode has replaced the disable feature, as well as the special blacklist
718 state (see above). Sites are likely to use `<escape>` but not `<s-escape>`.
719 (In a way, this new role of Ignore mode also means that the old (many times
720 broken) shortcut to disable VimFx (`<a-V>`) has been replaced by `i`.) #64
723 - VimFx’s Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog is now help only, and more accessible.
724 To **customize keyboard shortcuts,** go to VimFx’s settings page **in the
725 Add-ons Manager,** just like you would to customize other settings. Also,
726 **commas** between every key are **no longer needed:** Type `gJ` instead of
729 - For performance reasons, **Hint markers** are now placed vertically **centered
730 instead of at the top** of the element. Don’t be surprised if you see the same
731 hint repeated several times**—links that go to the same place now get the same
732 hint.** The “Smart hints” option has been removed—hints are _always_ smart
733 now, and a lot smarter than before. Finally, hints now also work in the new
734 tab page, the Add-ons Manager and the preferences page. If you want to, you
735 can read more about [the `f` commands]. \#51 #60 #176 #320 #325 #468 #471 #475
737 - The **`F`** command now _always_ opens tabs in new **background** tabs, while
738 **`gf`** has been added to open tabs in new **foreground** tabs. #227 #464
740 - **Autofocus prevention** is now **off by default.** One of VimFx’s core
741 philosophies is to be nice to your browser habits. Some find autofocus
742 prevention too big a change. Turn it on again if you like it! By the way,
743 autofocus prevention now works much more reliably and should not cause issues
744 with other extensions. #497 #541
746 - The **“Scroll step”** option has been **removed**. The scrolling commands that
747 used it now **work like the arrow keys instead,** and are customized just like
748 them. See [scrolling prefs] for more information.
750 - Speaking of scrolling, **which elements scrolls** when you use VimFx’s
751 scrolling commands **has changed.** See [scrolling commands] for more
758 - `gp` pins or unpins the current tab. (Also see `g^` and `g0` mentioned
760 - `yt` duplicates the current tab. #121
761 - `0` and `^` scroll to the far left, and `$` scrolls to the far right.
762 - [`gi`] has finally been implemented. #47
763 - [Ignore mode `<s-f1>`] let you run a Normal mode command without exiting
766 - In Hints mode you can now hold ctrl and alt to change behavior of the matched
767 marker. Hold shift to temporarily make the hints see-through. See [the `f`
768 commands] for more information. #220 #421 #484
770 - Some commands now accept [counts]. #374
772 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that work inside text inputs. See the
773 [`<force>`] key for more information. #258
775 - It is now possible to create shortcuts that the page can override. See the
776 [`<late>`] key for more information.
778 - A number of [advanced options] have been added. Rather than listing everything
779 regarding them here, follow that link if you’re interested. #452 #489
781 - You may now, if you want to, configure VimFx through a [config file], using
782 the new [public API]. Customizing VimFx through a config file also gives extra
783 abilities, such as [site-specific options][option-overrides] and [disabling
784 certain commands on certain sites][key-overrides]. It also allows to add
785 [custom commands] \(and other extensions to extend VimFx). #158 #235 #255 #261
786 \#300 #408 #445 #490 #515
788 - It is now easier to customize VimFx through custom [styling]. An example is
789 changing the way hint markers look. #220 #233 #424 #432 #465
791 - VimFx now has [documentation] and a [wiki].
793 - A few new locales were added:
795 - fr. Thanks to Mickaël RAYBAUD-ROIG (@m-r-r)!
796 - pt-BR. Thanks to Átila Camurça Alves (@atilacamurca)!
797 - sv-SE. Thanks to Andreas Lindhé (@lindhe)!
801 - VimFx is now multi-process/Electrolysis/e10s compatible! This means that you
802 can run VimFx on a version of Firefox with multi-process enabled without
803 issues, and that we’re future proof for the day when Firefox becomes
804 multi-process by default. Best of all, it also made VimFx more reliable in
805 non-multi-process (“regular”) Firefox. #378
807 - The `[` and `]` commands are now smarter, recognizing more links to the
808 previous/next page correctly. You may read more about [previous/next page
811 - The `n` and `N` commands now notify you when they wrap around the page, or the
812 phrase you searched for could not be found. #398
814 - _All_ shortcuts in _all modes_ can now be customized. For example, this allows
815 you to disable VimFx’s Vim-style `<enter>` behavior in the find bar. #222 #390
818 - The `p` and `P` commands are now smarter regarding whether to treat the
819 clipboard contents as a URL or a search, by working exactly like pasting in
820 the location bar. They also now read the selection clipboard, if available.
823 - VimFx’s toolbar button is now properly implemented. #303 #349 #383
825 - Most locales were updated. Thanks to our awesome [translators]!
827 ##### Minor bug fixes
829 - VimFx now works correctly in tabs dragged to other windows. #57
830 - The `p` command is no longer broken. #494
831 - Non-ASCII shortcut keys now work properly. #433
832 - The Keyboard Shortcuts help dialog can no longer be covered by page elements.
834 - Hint markers can no longer be covered by page elements.
835 - VimFx no longer causes scripts on icloud.com to get stuck in an infinite loop.

864 - Fixed: The hints generation no longer crashes on some pages (regression since
867 ### 0.5.16 (2015-01-22)
869 - Fixed: The toolbar button no longer throws errors. (This fix should have been
870 in 0.5.15 but was forgotten. Luckily an AMO reviewer found it.)
872 ### 0.5.15 (2015-01-21)
874 - Improved: This version is now forwards-compatible with the upcoming version
875 0.6.0. Downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.14 or older might cause VimFx to crash,
876 but downgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.5.15 is safe.
877 - Fixed: Non-hintchars key presses in hints mode are now suppressed. They used
878 to be passed along to the browser, which could confusingly activate site
880 - Fixed: The 'f' command now always opens links in the same tab. Links used to
881 be able to force a new tab or window.
882 - Fixed: Pressing 'Esc' in the location bar now restores the URL, as is the
883 default behaviour of Firefox. You may now also close Firefox dialogs using
885 - Improved: Updated the de locale. Thanks to Alexander Haeussler!

891 - Improved: Updated the zh-CN locale (@mozillazg).
892 - Improved: Updated the de locale (@Kambfhase).
893 - Added: Japanese locale (@pluser).
894 - Fixed: If you switched to another tab or window while an `<input>` element
895 was focused and then switched back, the `<input>` element got blurred, while
896 it should have stayed focused. This caused the auto-type feature of KeePassX
899 ### 0.5.13 (2014-08-02)
901 - Fixed: The vote button on StackExchange sites are now markable again.
902 - Improved: Detection of previous/next links. Should work better on gmail now.
903 - Fixed: It is now possible to use Enter/Return in keyboard shortcuts.

905 using the VimFx command (such as the default key binding ctrl+f, or by
906 clicking a menu item).
907 - Improved: It is now possible to blur text inputs without sending Esc to the
908 page, which could cause dialogs etc. to annoyingly close.
909 - Improved: Updated the el-GR locale (@sirodoht).
910 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention sometimes made text inputs impossible to focus
911 until you reloaded the page.
912 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now works on more sites than before.
913 - Improved: Autofocus prevention now prevents _all_ automatic focusing (not
914 just when the page loads). This makes devdocs.io much easier to use.
915 - Added: When viewing images directly and the image has been resized to fit the
916 screen the image is now markable, allowing you to toggle zoom on it using the
918 - Fixed: It is no longer possible to add conflicting shortcuts (such as adding
919 'a' when 'af' and 'as' are already present).
921 ### 0.5.12 (2014-06-01)
923 - Fixed: Autofocus prevention got stuck sometimes, making it impossible to

931 - Fixed: You can no longer add blank hotkeys.
