vvimpulation's Issues

Use key code

If you use more than one keyboard layouts hotkeys don't work on not english layout. Key code, not symbol, can fix it. And... I can rewrite config myself, but i don't know how to present a key as a code. How to do it?

Auto-insert mode on user click/focus

Hi there,

First of all, thanks for the extension, works awesome so far.

I have a small question: Is it possible to enter automatically into insert mode when a text area is focused (either via hint mode / tab / or user click)? I've seen Enable to change the mode to insert by user click. on the 1.4 version enhancements but I am not sure if that means the thing I understand (or I couldn't find where to activate it).

Thanks 👍

Support Shadow DOM

Include Shadow DOMs into the hint targets.

Caret mode in text fields

Caret mode seems to be broken. While in text fields if you Ctr+[ out of insert mode and Ctrl+V into caret mode, it still types. It would be nice to use the same vim navigation in our text fields (w, B, e, etc.)

Join forces?

Hi,

We develop a similar add-on for Firefox, Tridactyl.

Would you be interested in working together?

You have some features that we don't:

• Visual mode
• Find mode

and we have some that you might like:

• Native messenger (i.e, edit-in-vim, open about:* pages)
• Help page

I don't know what the collaboration would look like but I thought I should just make you aware of our existence and friendliness :)

Hints don't appear after update to version 61

After the browser update to version 61, hints have stopped to appear when pressing the corresponding keys.

The console contains the following error:

Change mode error: rectList.filter is not a function (moz-extension://f18d1a33-ce23-41cc-b58f-8256fa037f7b/content_scripts/hint_mode.js:573)

Other VV functions seem working fine.

Linux (Arch); FF 61; VV 1.3

Scrolling in Console Mode

Hello,
First off I'd like to say how much I love your add-on! It really makes using the firefox browser that much more everything.
Secondly, I come into a problem using the plugin.
Namely that when there are upwards of 100 entries in history or tabopen,
there appears to be no way to scroll up or down without using ,
and when using the tab key the console mode buffer itself does not follow the highlighted selection if
it goes outside the original range of entries in the console mode buffer.

Respect tabindex on focusNext[AndChangeMode]

There is a small problem with <Tab>:

• If we ignore, tabindex is used and next correct element is hit, but can't auto-change mode if it's editable
• if we don't ignore and use focusNext*, wrong element is hit since this family of commands don't respect tabindex

custom bookmarks tabopen

Hello,
I migrated from using Vim Vixen to Vvimpulation.
There is a great deal more aesthetic appeal for me to use Vvimpulation over Vim Vixen.
However, I'd like to request a feature either that opens the bookmarks directly into the black pop-up frame buffer with the use of a shortcut and corresponding command, like ":tabopen," or add sub-divisions to the search distinguishing between the bookmarks, and history entries of the search.
My excuses if this feature exists and I have been too impatient in reading the documentation.
