Vimperator-labs

Make Firefox/Thunderbird look and behave like Vim

To beginners: Welcome to the Vimperator-labs!
This README isn't written usage and help for the add-on itself. Try :help command after installing add-on for details.

End of Life and Alternatives

Vimperator will stop working in up-to-date copies of Firefox with the release of Firefox 57 on November 14th due to a large breaking change in how extensions and add-ons are written (#705).

It's not all doom and gloom, though! Here are your options (#729):

• Stay with vimperator, but use an older release of Firefox or a Firefox fork

  • Basilisk, Pale Moon, and Waterfox Classic are community-maintained forks of Firefox that merge security patches and intend to maintain compatibility with XUL/XPCOM add-ons like vimperator. A similar add-on, Pentadactyl, specifically targets Basilisk and Pale Moon and sees more development.

• Use an add-on compatible with the new webextension API

  • It is not currently possible to match the vimperator feature list in a WebExtension. Some work is being done to rectify this[1][2]
  • cVim (Chrome/Chromium only) - features regex search, commandline with completion, autocmds (via site in the config), custom commands through javascript eval
  • Tridactyl (Firefox only) - aims to eventually match the vimperator experience with working beta versions currently available on AMO

• Use a less fully-featured add-on compatible with the new WebExtension API

  • These add-ons provide great, configurable, vim-like shortcuts and hints mode
  • By design they do not offer insert or command mode, custom commands, autocmds, vim-style maps and so on
  • Vimium - "The Hacker's Browser. Vimium provides keyboard shortcuts for navigation and control in the spirit of Vim."
  • Saka-key - "Put away your mouse. Saka Key lets you control your browser with keyboard shortcuts."
  • Vim Vixen - "An add-on which allows you to navigate with vim-like bindings."

• Surrender your other add-ons and use a browser with built-in vim bindings

  • Tabbed
    • Qutebrowser - "A keyboard-driven, vim-like browser based on PyQt5 and Qt."
    • Luakit - "A fast, simple to use micro-browser framework extensible by Lua using the WebKit engine and the GTK+ toolkit."
  • Not tabbed (Use a tabbed window manager or something that supports XEmbed)
    • vimb - "A fast and lightweight vim-like web browser based on the webkit engine and the GTK toolkit."
    • surf - "A simple web browser based on WebKit2/GTK+."
    • uzbl - "A web browser that adheres to the unix philosophy."

Muttator is not affected by these changes.

Description

See also Home page.

Writing efficient user interfaces is the main maxim, here at Vimperator labs. We often follow the Vim way of doing things, but extend its principles when necessary.
Towards this end, we've created the liberator library for Mozilla based applications, to encapsulate as many of these generic principles as possible, and liberate developers from the tedium of reinventing the wheel.

Currently, these applications are using this library:

Vimperator

Vimperator, the flagship project from Vimperator labs, creates a Vim-like Firefox.

Vimperator is a Firefox browser extension with strong inspiration from the Vim text editor, with a mind towards faster and more efficient browsing. It has similar key bindings and you could call it a modal web browser, as key bindings differ according to which mode you are in. For example, it has a special Hint mode, where you can follow links easily with the keyboard only. Also most functionality is available as commands, typing :back will go back within the current page history, just like hitting the back button in the toolbar.

Muttator

Muttator is to Thunderbird what Vimperator is to Firefox. Combines the best aspects of Vim and Mutt.

Muttator is a free add-on for the Thunderbird mail client, which makes it look and behave like the Vim text editor. It has similar key bindings and you could call it a modal mail client, as key bindings differ according to which mode you are in. For example, it the same keys can select the next message while the message list has focus or can scroll down an existing message when the message preview is selected. It also adds commands for accessing most Thunderbird functionality. E.g., :contact -lastname "Vimperator" [email protected] will add Vimperator's mailing list to your address book.

Features (Vimperator)

• Vim-like keybindings (h, j, k, l, gg, G, 0, $, ZZ, etc.)
• Ex commands (:quit, :open www.foo.com, ...)
• Tab completion available for all commands with support for 'longest' matching when set in 'wildmode'
• Extensions! Yes, you can extend Vimperator's functionality with scripts just like you can extend Firefox with extensions
• Explore JavaScript objects with :echo window and even context-sensitive tab completion
• Hit-a-hint like navigation of links (start with f to follow a link)
• Advanced completion of bookmark and history URLs (searching also in title, not only URL)
• Vim-like statusline with a wget-like progress bar
• Minimal GUI (easily hide useless menubar and toolbar with :set gui=)
• Ability to :source JavaScript files, and to use a ~/.vimperatorrc file
• Easy quick searches (:open foo will search for "foo" in google, :open ebay terminator will search for "terminator" on ebay) with support for Firefox keyword bookmarks and search engines
• Count supported for many commands (3<C-o> will go back 3 pages)
• Beep on errors
• Marks support (ma to set mark 'a' on a webpage, 'a to go there)
• QuickMarks support (quickly go to previously marked web pages with go{a-zA-Z0-9})
• :map and :command support (and feedkeys() for script writers)
• :time support for profiling
• Move the text cursor and select text with vim keys and a visual mode
• External editor support
• Macros to replay key strokes
• AutoCommands to execute action on certain events
• A comprehensive :help, explaining all commands, mappings and options
• Much more...

Installation (Vimperator)

Note that Vimperator doesn't support multi-process aka Electrolysis (e10s), it's necessary to disable e10s to use the add-on.

• Download signed add-on from addons.mozilla.org (AMO) ¹

  1. Enter Add-ons page.
  2. Click Continue to Download button.
  3. Click Add to Firefox button.

• Download unsigned ² add-on from github.com (Github)

  1. Enter Releases page.
  2. Click vimperator-3.N.N.xpi link under Downloads topic.

• Build own version (and signing) See Build own version topic.

¹ If the version on AMO is older than the latest release, you can build your own version and use it until AMO release is updated.

² Since version 48, installing add-on to Firefox has required signing. Unsigned add-on is for Unbranded Builds. See mozilla wiki.

Build own version

Unsigned (for Unbranded Builds)

See http://www.vimperator.org/developer_info.

Signed (for Firefox 48+)

Instructions for building this can be found in vimperator/private.properties.in. See also MDN document (developer.mozilla.org) for details about signing and distribution.

There are necessary four steps to use own version.

1. Prepare "AMO API key" and "jpm" if first time
2. Build unsigned add-on
3. Submit unsigned add-on to AMO
4. Install signed add-on to Firefox
5. Addition: Use Command-line interface (CLI) to build and submit

Prepare AMO API key and jpm

• AMO API key (require Firefox Account)

• jpm (require node.js):

  npm install -g jpm

Build unsigned add-on

Clone repository and create private.properties:

git clone https://github.com/vimperator/vimperator-labs.git
cd vimperator-labs/vimperator
cp private.properties.in private.properties

Then edit private.properties so that it looks something like:

VERSION       := $(VERSION).$(shell date '+%Y%m%d%H%M%S')
UUID           = vimperator@<uniqueid> # e.g. vimperator@<yourdomain>
AMO_API_KEY    = <your API key> # AKA "Issuer"
AMO_API_SECRET = <your API secret>
UPDATE_URL     =
UPDATE_URL_XPI =

Then run:

make xpi

The unsigned XPI should appear in ../downloads/vimperator-3.N.N.yyyymmddhhmmss.xpi.

Submit unsigned add-on to AMO

Have you ever submitted own version to AMO?	How to submit
No, I'd like to register own version.	Enter How to Distribute this Version, upload the XPI selecting On your own button.
Yes, I'd like to update own version.	Enter Manage My Submissions, upload the XPI from your Vimperator's New Version link.

Then the validation starts. Finally, automatically validation XPI finishes, click Sign add-on button to sign.

Install signed add-on to Firefox

Install it via the link in your AMO developer account (find your Vimperator's Manage Status & Versions). The new UUID makes it a new add-on, so don't forget to disable the old version.

Use CLI to build and submit

After once you signed the add-on, you are able to update the add-on using CLI.

cd vimperator-labs/vimperator
make sign

vimperator-labs's Issues

Statusline remains visible in full screen mode.

Hi,

I am using Youtube with HTML5 player. When I change the player to full screen mode, the statusline does not disappear.
I tried hiding the statusline using a javascript on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21053262/vimperator-autohide-statusline , but about 2px dotted white line was still shown at the bottom in full screen mode.
I think that in full screen mode(not only for Youtube), the statusline should be hidden from the start and be shown by user input.

Thanks.

HELPALL does not work

Line in localstore.rdf turns the status line blank and unreadable

When the following line is added (probably by firefox itself) to localstore.rdf in the tag <RDF:Description RDF:about="chrome://browser/content/browser.xul">:
<NC:persist RDF:resource="chrome://browser/content/browser.xul#liberator-statusline"/>
the status line of vimperator is entirely blank and shows nothing at all. I don't know whether this is an issue with vimperator or with firefox.

Performance problem in completions(e.g. tabopen) when 'Smart Completions' contains long URL.

Suddenly one day, Firefox stops for a few seconds at the completion in 'tabopen', and tried to profiling.

This screenshot is the result.

https://github.com/vimperator/vimperator-labs/blob/master/common/content/completion.js#L425

This line has been called very much. The number is proportional to the length of a URL, and the time for each is proportional to the length, so the total time is proportional to the squares of the length.

My native language is Japanese, so I access well to pages whose URL contains multi-byte characters.Because it has been displayed in the completion, this performance issue surfaced.

However, I do not fully understand the structure of this part, I cannot write a patch to resolve this problem.

Icons unrecognisable in the statusbar

Some icons when placed into the statusbar become distorted and unreadable: RSS, Adblock Plus, Downloads and others.

Unknown highlight keyword: Search

Tried adding a

'highlight Search background: ...' to my vimperatorrc, but it gave me the message 'Unknown highlight keyword'.

The Search keyword shows up in :help highlight so I'm confused.

using o and shift insert to paste a url problem

Hello really annoying problem here forcing me to use pentadactyl for year but i m done too much performance issue with so I fill this bug report hoping it could be fixed.
I i copy text or a url i use the o key then shift + insert to paste my text then enter to launch a google search or to open it in case of a url.
The problem is when you press o in vimperator it auto suggest amazon and when you press shift+insert to paste your text it doesn t clear amazon so if i paste for exemple the word arrow and press enter it launch me a google search about arrowamazon the same thing with a url it add amazon to the end leading me to a 404 error.
So its a really annoying bug hoping it could be fixed. thanks.

Disable message when autocmd is triggered

Everytime a autocmd is triggered the message "Executing ... Auto commands for ..." is displayed. It would be great if this message can be disabled.

Linux type paste has trailing garbage

When pasting url's to open command with Shift+Ins on linux, the default 'amazon' is appended to the url.

It doesn't happen with ctrl+v style paste.

How to reproduce:

• press o for open url menu
• default text is 'amazon' in my case.
• paste url with shift+ins
• "amazon" becomes appended do end of url

How to pronounce 'Vimperator'？

This may be a stupid question, but I do have no idea how to pronounce 'Vimperator'. For most of the time, I would read it as 'V I M - perator', but the intro.html of the help tells:

First there was a Navigator, then there was an Explorer. Later it was time for a Konqueror. Now it's time for an Imperator, the VIMperator :)

So maybe I can pronounce it like [vɪmpə'retɚ]?

The wiki and the FAQ are gone?

I can't find them from the website because it redirects to google code which shows a shifted page instead.

muttator ... run script on the current message

It would be really useful to be able to run patch or git am with the current message.

erase history

Please add the option to delete history and commands....
thanks

Sometimes, can't enter insert mode by 'gi'

Sometimes, after pressing the 'gi', I just get the error message 'TypeError: m.getClientRects is not a function. Why? Any other way to get in insert mode?

No download/progress bar in vimperator

When you use vimperator with gui=none there is no way of knowing how much % of a web page is loaded and there is no way of knowing how much time/size left until a download finishes. This is a pretty big issue and I'm sure it annoys not just me. It should show some simple basic information about this in the bottom bar (look @ how dwb does it).
Workaround for seeing downloads information is to open another window with the download list (:em down) and for web page loading - no idea.

Buffer scroll issue

buffer does not list completely but with a scroll option on firefox 29 and firefox 30

Vimperator: Host names are not properly recognized

When trying to open (via :open or :tabopen for example) a web site from a 'unusual' host name, it does not work correctly in vimperator. With unusual I mean something like localhost which doesn't look like a normal domain (it's just the host name without a dot), but names like these could be defined in /etc/hosts or on a local name server.

In case I try to open localhost in vimperator, it redirects to the default search engine instead of looking up the address. Using the Firefox Awesomebar, everything works as expected (localhost is resolved and the browser tries to connect).

Various problems with muttator

I recently decided to give muttator a try, and it definitely makes using Thunderbird much nicer. However, there seem to be some issues with current Thunderbird versions, at least with version 31.1.2 which I'm using.

• The J/K keys for jumping to the next/previous unread message only result in the message TypeError: thread.getChildAt is not a function.
• Trying to close a tab sometimes (but apparently not always) results in TypeError: recentlyClosedTabs method called on incompatible Object.
• The normal Vim keys like j/k/ctrl-d/n etc. don't seem to work in help tabs.
• I can't seem to get the external editor support to work at all for writing messages.
• I also got a TypeError the first few times I tried the :help command, but I don't seem to be able to reproduce that now.

Send commands to vimperator via browser's command line

Is something like this possible with either Firefox or Chrome + Vimperator?

$ firefox open "this is a search"

The open command would be passed to to the vimperator command line. This Q was asked on the U&L stackexchange site where I'm one of the mods.

http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/159166/can-i-pass-commands-to-vimperator-firefox-through-the-command-line

Tabbing out of tinyMCE editor throws TypeError: text is undefined

This is similar to the #983 bug:

Issue 983: Tab key won't work on twitter textbox. ... Vimperator give message "TypeError: text is undefined".

Cannot add bookmarks in vimperatorrc if delbmarks! is present anywhere

I would like to manage my bookmarks in ~/.vimperatorrc. Ideally, I should be able to run delbmarks! noninteractively, followed by a list of bmark commands. Unfortunately, delbmarks! deletes all bookmarks, no matter where it appears in ~/.vimperatorrc. It generates a confirmation prompt and always appears last in the message-history after starting, thus erasing all the new bookmarks, even though they appear after the command in ~/.vimperatorrc.

My guess is that the confirmation prompt is the cause of the problem. It should be possible to clear all bookmarks noninteractively at a specific location in vimperatorrc and safely add new bookmarks afterwards.

Facebook.com Enter key issue

1.goto facebook.com
2. type out something in the search bar
3. hit enter key

expected result is to initiate a search but hitting enter key does not work
however hitting insert key (going to ignore mode> then hitting enter works fine
so i tried remapping <Enter> <Ins><Enter><Ins>, but that does not work either

Google search for images is buggy

1. go to google , select search for images and type out some search
2. select a particular image through hint mode
3. scrolling down using j and k keys is now becomes disabled

Cant escape from insert mode on Quora

on Quora.com as soon as the page loads the search field is selected and vimperator is in insert mode
hitting escape has no effect , and insert mode can only be escaped by clicking somewhere .

yank don't quote the url

ie. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Are_We_Not_Men%3F_We_Are_Diva%21 is yanked as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Are_We_Not_Men?_We_Are_Diva!

and _Are_Diva! is used as query string when pasted

Shift+Escape does not exit ignore all keys in certain cases

If a page is capturing all key events, pressing shift+escape does not exit ignore all keys mode. Is there a way to override this behavior so it exits no matter what?

Search with no results found, doesn't return any visual feedback

This might not be a big issue however, it will be good to have this feature. When you press "/" and start typing for a keyword to search in the page, the search follows your typing and finds the matches and when it hits the point which it fails (meaning the word you're looking for doesn't exist in the page, it sounds a ding) there is no visual feedback to know if your search process finished with 0 results or maybe your search result is highlighted somewhere in the current page that you can't see. (possible confusion, you see!)

Specially in my case I mute my computer at the office and I get caught in this situation everyday since the only feedback for the 0 result search is a voice unless you press enter and then "N" to see the visual red ribbon on the bottom stating your search didn't return any results.
Since this would be a relatively easy improvement, I would like to submit this request.

Thanks everybody.

[vimperator] Stopped working after latest firefox nightly update

I was using vimperator without a problem for quite some time now in nightly, but now I just get a black bar. Here's my about:buildconfig.

Can't <esc> out of select box focus

When a <select> dropdown is focused and so we're in "insert" mode, <esc> isn't killing the focus and getting me back to normal mode. I have to grab the mouse and click somewhere to make it lose focus.

I'm on Mac OS X 10.8.5, Firefox 31, Vimperator 3.8.2.

Vimperator stops working after switching to another window and back

To replicate:

• start firefox. Everything works fine
• switch to another window, either using Alt+Tab or using mouse, switch back to firefox
• vimperator no longer works. "t" or "o" do nothing, ":" does not switch to command line mode
• to get vimperator back I can right-click and dismiss the dialog, go to menu and back to the website and few other things
• next time I switch to another window and back to vimperator the problem reoccurs

Ubuntu 14.04
firefox 32.0+build1-0ubuntu0.14.04.
Vimperator 3.8.2

Status line is invisible

After recent Vimperator upgrade the status line isn't visible so I can't see any error messages or notifications (like ignore-all mode). I have default status settings and I've tried to recent my Firefox profile.

Anyone else has the issue? Thanks.

Input elements of type=hidden are counted as valid.

In the google.com search page, I typed 'f' to get the search text field. The text field was hinted with '18'. So I typed '18', but it didn't work while typing '16' worked.
I think xpath input[not(@type='hidden')] does not work in firefox 31.0.
input[@type!='hidden')] works.
Is this firefox's bug?

Implement continuous scroll effect option for page jumps

Currently I'm scrolling (jumping) mostly in half pages while going through pages. The disadvantage of the jumping behavior is that each time you go down, you need a small amount of time to recognise where you are in the whole of the page. When scrolling with a mouse, you don't have this problem and the navigation ends up faster in the end in a significant number of cases.

A convenient setting imo would be to enable an option that would enable one to apply a continuous scroll effect similar to the mouse on page jumping. Preferably applyable down to a single jump effect (e.g. half-page jump).

The menubar cannot be shown by Alt key in NORMAL mode.

It would be nice if menubar could be shown by Alt key. But in NORMAL mode, it is not.
In INSERT and COMMAND_LINE modes, pressing and releasing the Alt key unhides the menubar.

I modified common/content/events.js. This solves the issue, though I don't know its side effects.

configure ctrl-i external editor call to work around certain JS editors

Certain JS editors, like the one at stack overflow (called pagedown), use ctrl-i for there own purpose. Vimperator needs a way to work around this.

Cannot map <space>

This doesn't work:

noremap f

This does:

noremap F

They both show up as mapped keys, meaning I can :unmap afterwards, but the issue remains.

Space is a very conveniently placed key for just about everything, would be a shame to give it up to scrolling. And the default F is not in a convenient location for me (using Dvorak).

(Firefox 30, Windows 8.1 x64)

If a textbox has not get been selected normal mode command gi results in a TypeError

Firefox 32-33

Visited any page with a textbox that is not initially select and use "gi" in normal mode. The following error is displayed:

TypeError: m.getClientRects is not a function

Click on a textbox and click somewhere else so that the focus is lost. Hit "gi" and now it works properly.

Mark different Links with the same target with the same label

When you open a link on a website and a location is linked twice (ie in two menues) the links will get two different labels.
If both links also have the same text you cannot trigger them by typing the link text since there are two occurences of that text.
It would be great if that redundancy would be removed.

chrome liberator script hangs firefox

I get this error all the time:

Googling it, it appears to be the vimpertor plugin. Firefox 30.

`:ls` and `:b` cause buffer list to collapse

When I want to see buffer list using command :ls or :b, almost always I see following picture:

Looks like height of that list is calculated incorrectly (I've noticed, that it's always off by one error, and only one item is hidden below).

Maybe it's just my setup, but it reproduceable even with empty vimpreratorrc file.

ignorekeys -except doesn't unignore key combinations or capital letters

nmap J <C-PageDown>
nmap K <C-PageUp>
nmap d <C-w>
ignorekeys add -except=J,K,<S-t>,d /international.nytimes.com/

d will be processed by vimperator, but the others will be ignored.

colorscheme causes significant slowdown

Firefox freezes for several (up to 10) seconds when opening new window (either private or normal) if colorscheme directive is present in .vimperatorrc. During the freeze firefox consumes vast amount of CPU time.

A Chinese translation of the help file

I've been doing Chinese translation of the help file when Vimperator was still hosted on google code, although it's not finished yet :). Now Vimperator comes to github, then I'm wondering if you will receive any pull requests of the translation. If yes, I would love to restart it.

:sanitize not working

When trying to use command :sanitize,an error message appeared

TypeError: aCallback is not a function

yank URL to encode + by default

With the default yankencodedurl = false, only whitespace charaters are replaced by %20. When yanking URL with the + sign and pasting it back to open a new tab, the + sign is interpreted as a space character.

Desired behavior: With the default yankencodedurl = false, the + sign (%2B) should be escaped, too.

Google Docs

First, <3 vimperator long time.

Secondly, when using Google docs, if you hit escape you leave insert mode but you can't get back by clicking in the document. You have to click one of the menus then click back in the doc. Been a long time issue I just deal w/but I'm becoming more active on Github so I thought I'd toss it out there.

Thanks for being awesome!

Vimperator can't gain focus against Google

Hello,

I love the vimperator plugin. But I can't use it on any google page. Google grabs the focus to its search field.

After pressing ESC and then pressing any key, the focus returns to the google text field and the char is inserted there.

Firefox 30.0, Ubuntu 12.04 64bit.

opening multiple homepages in new tabs doesnt work

I have multiple homepages set. When using 'gh' to open them, they open properly in separate tabs, but when using 'gH' to open them in new tabs, a single tab with 'http://foo.com/,\shttp://bar.com' is opened.

Navigation in menus not working

Open a menu (NoScript in my case). h/j/k/l do not work. Cursor keys stop working after entering a sub menu.

earlier when b was pressed a list of buffers would pop up
now no such list appears although i can still type in the buffer name and hit enter
