Any Vimium (vim for Google Chrome) or Vimperator users?

[steeef]

Since I've finally started learning vim commands, I found Vimium, which is an attempt to create a Vimperator clone for Google Chrome. So far I like it, but I think it's less useful than Vimperator since Chrome's plugin API restricts which parts of the browser can be altered. At least it's kept me from reaching for my mouse so much...

I have tried Vimium, but it is too bare to use comfortably, probably because of what you said.
Vimperator is very nice since I can combine the mouse-oriented sunday browsing and the action packed, keyboard-only experience. Besides, the Ctrl-i in textareas launch GVim and I can configure the .vimperatorrc to set Gvim different settings from different web sites. From my blog I have automatized setting of textile syntax etc.

How about Vimprobable? Doesn't look too ready, though

I use vimium regularly. Though I'd much prefer to be using uzbl, as it's far more customizable; the random website hiccups, and not having any time to sit down and enhance my configs is the main problem. So I've been using vimium.

Things I don't like about vimium:

• No next page key (as in next google search page)
• The CSS highlighting for webpages doesn't always work (though this is usually due to the craziness of the webpage)
• Insert mode indicator blocks my chat box in gmail
• Can't use it in gmail
• And probably some other things

Nice. Didn't know about switching to GVim. I also noticed there's a fork of Vimperator, since the author hasn't been communicative:
http://dactyl.sourceforge.net/pentadactyl/

Seems to me that Vimium's biggest downside is that it isn't too customizable. I always map something else to ESC in Vim/GVim, but there's no way to do that here.

I've tried vimperator but it's too drastic of a change for me.  Not a fan of the hints style either, the autocomplete or numbers.  I currently use LoL and the keyconfig addon to achieve a nice balance.

I use vimperator for the most part on my linux box, my aversion to pointing devices led me to it.

I tried Vimium and another one for Safari (I dont remember the extension's name), they were not nearly as good, the Safari one was really awful. Vimperator is by far the best in my opinion, the feature list in comparison to the other ones is much more complete.

I actually like Vimium quite a lot. It's not vimperator which is good and bad. My only gripe is really that I can no longer use o for doing search queries. I'm deeply into the habbit of searching that way. (e.g. best movies 2010 ). As a partial solution, I remapped alt-space (from launchy) to alt-d where alt-d brings back the focus on the address bar. AInt perfect.

Does any1 here miss the vimperator open functionality as well? any solutions?

I've started using Pentadactyl, but haven't switched over completely, since it doesn't work as well pre- Firefox 4.

I'm on vimperator. With stylish and the NightShift layout, so all the windows are dark, on a dark desktop theme. My WM is xmonad too. I could really live without the mouse.

YAY! Uzbl now works with Forum Spy

libWebKit finally got their act together (I'm using today's nightly build paired with the git version of uzbl 518004933b6d110d2a6d140f86c759dd4e713607 ).

A slight pain though that not all of the python scripts are written in python3 yet.


Goodbye Google Chrome + vimium!

Used to use vimperator back when I was a vim user. It was/is great, and the hint system is the best of any extension.

Now that I'm an emacs user, I use firemacs with LoL for hints. It's not up to the same standard as vimperator, but it's good enough. uzbl was nice, but not nice enough for me to switch to it full time last time I tried it, though admittedly this was several months ago.

I love vimperator.
