This is one of the many Firefox (Web-)Extensions that will provide you keyboard shortcuts to browse the web with Firefox. I came up with a new one, because I want to be sure (to some degree) that the extensions I use are not doing any dubious stuff. Furthermore it was a good way to learn some JavaScript.
I strive to keep it small so that it stays maintainable and so that other people that might have an interest can, with reasonable effort, verify/falsify that this extensions does nothing against their will.
This extension will handle keyboard shortcuts for the following tasks:
- opening links (in same and new tabs)
- scrolling in the website
- copying url and title of the current website into the clipboard
- navigating back and forth in the browser history
If you want to try this extension you can load it as temporary add-on
by opening about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox in Firefox.
Make sure to give Emacsium some permissions (about:addons ->
Extensions), because otherwise Emacsium is not allowed to access
any website.
