Vimium++

Visit Vimium++ in Chrome Web Store.

A customized Vimium licensed under the MIT license by gdh1995, supporting Chrome with the session functionalities (ver >= 37). For older version, it would try to work ^_^

The branch basic-on-edge is able to run on lastest Microsoft Edge, though some function are broken because Edge lacks some features. The branch firefox is able to run on lastest Firefox, but only tests for LinkHints have been done.

In the weidu directory is 微度新标签页.

Project Introduction

Vimium++:

• a Chrome extension that provides keyboard-based navigation and control of the web in the spirit of the Vim editor.
• forked from philc/vimium:master.
• optimized after translating it from CoffeeScript into JavaScript.
• more functions, more powerful, and more convenient (for me, at least).
• here is its license and privacy policy

Vomnibar Page:

• visit it on Chrome Web Store
• is an extension to replace Vimium++'s inner Vomnibar page.
• With this, Vimium++'s memory cost will be smaller since Chrome 57.

微度新标签页修改版 (Modified X New Tab Page):

• visit it on Chrome Web Store
• in folder weidu
• support Vimium++ and provide a vomnibar page: chrome-extension://hdnehngglnbnehkfcidabjckinphnief/vomnibar.html
• 一款基于Html5的Chrome浏览器扩展程序。 它提供了网站快速拨号、网站云添加、数据云备份等功能来增强 Chrome 原生新标签页（New Tab）； 另外微度还提供了： 天气、云壁纸、快速搜索等插件，为用户提供最快捷的上网方式。
• 微度新标签页: www.weidunewtab.com; X New Tab Page: www.newtabplus.com.
• its official online version supporting multi browsers: www.94994.com.
• selected only one language: zh_CN.UTF-8.
• some is customized.
• the official settings file is OK for it, but not the other way around.

Other extensions supporting Vimium++:

• PDF Viewer for Vimium++ a modified version of PDF Viewer from PDF.js

Release Notes

Known issues (Up to the master branch):

1. Chrome before version 49 has bugs in Window.postMessage if the flag #enable-site-per-process is on, which breaks Vomnibar. Then Vomnibar would only work well on Vimium++ Options pages.
2. Preferred Vomnibar Page can not support http/file URLs before Chrome 41.
3. the Chrome flag #enable-embedded-extension-options has a bug about dialog width on high-DPI screen, which can not be worked-around before Chrome 42.
4. If an extension page is the preferred Vomnibar page, and the extension is disabled in incognito mode, Vomnibar might break in such a situation, and there seems no way to detect it. So Vimium++ has disabled other extension Vomnibar pages in incognito mode.
5. If a http/file/... Vomnibar page is preferred, then there're some cases where it breaks, such as on some websites with very strict Content Security Policies (CSP), so users may need to wait about 1 second to let Vimium++ retry the inner page.
6. Chrome 58 stable hides some necessary infomation of page's selection, so some commands on VisualMode cann't work as expected if editable text is being selected. This Chrome feature/bug has been removed since version 59, so Vimium++ works well again.
7. Chrome does not apply content settings (at least images) on file:// URLs since version 56. Currently, no effective ways have been found (up to Chrome 59).

1.63:

• FindMode and VisualMode will ensure document is selectable when they are active
• always focus the parent frame and show a yellow border when touch & hold <esc>
• fix bugs and memory leaks on pages having ShadowDOM UI.
• passNextKey normal will also exit if the page blurs
• rename command LinkHints.activate to LinkHints.activateMode (the old keeps supported)
• LinkHints.activateMode supports option action=hover/unhover/leave/text/url/image
• change behaviors of some commands like parentFrame and focusInput
• Vomnibar now prefers a domain starting with "www."
• now custom CSS takes precedence over default styles like the help dialog's
• limit max length of Vomnibar's query to 200 chars
• perfectly support pages which are zoomed by themselves: better LinkHints and focusInput
• fix some other bugs

1.62.0:

• on an editable rich text iframe box: <Esc> will not focus the upper frame unless it's held on
• image viewer: support <c-+> (also <c-=>) and <c--> to zoom in/out images
• fix vomnibar may shake on the list's length changing
• fix a rare case that some web page may break because Vimium++'s code throws errors
• fix a regression that some tips on HUD were missing
• fix a long-term bug that history cache may not be cleaned out when some history items are removed

1.61.2:

• fix some regression bugs

1.61.1:

• fix new UI bugs on Chrome 61
• fix that content settings commands didn't work on some special URLs containing port or username info
• in most pages, it will focus a parent frame to press <Esc>, if the current is an iframe and nothing is focused or selected
• re-enable supports on about:blank iframes
• FindMode has a safer HUD

1.61:

• rework Marks so that local marks work on websites on which cookies are disabled manually
  • in Marks.activate, old local marks are still supported
  • WARNING: but Marks.clearLocal won't clear old local marks
  • the stored data of local marks is not compatible with Vimium any more
• completely fix Vomnibar flickering on showing and hiding since Chrome 57
• WARNING: add a version limit to the preferred Vomnibar page
  • please use <html data-version="1.61"> to tell Vimium++ the page's version
  • if your custom page has no such a tag, it will be replaced with the inner one at run time
  • its styles have changed a lot, so old pages need comparison and updates before adding version attribute
• loosen limits on URL format validation: accept unknown 3-char TLDs in more cases
  • now "http://example.aab" is valid, although "example.aab" is usually not (unless it has occurred in history)
• allow "custom key mappings" to override Vimium++'s default mappings without an error message
• LinkHints supports a new mode "Open multiple links in current tab" and f-<Alt>-<Shift> will activate it
• add a new shortcut vimium://status <toggle | enable | disable | reset> to enforce a new status on the current tab
  • you may use it on Vomnibar / Chrome Omnibox
  • the popup page has an improved UI and you may also use new buttons on it to do so
• Vimium++ now tries its best to re-enable key mappings on some special child iframes using document.open
  • if the whole page is reopened, Vimium++ can not know it directly, so please eval the new vimium://status enable URL to enforce a new "enabled" status
• improved performance: now Vimium++ UI shows faster for the first command on a page

Building

If you want to compile this project manually, please run:

npm install typescript@next
# remove options "narrowFormat" in `tsconfig.json`
node scripts/tsc all
#./scripts/make.sh output-file.zip

The option narrowFormat are for another version of TypeScript.

gulp local can also compile files in place, while gulp dist compiles and minimizes files into dist/.
