| I installed Vimium a few months ago and haven't looked back -> https://vimium.github.io/ Mouseless as well for navigating anywhere on the computer without a mouse -> https://mouseless.click/ |

| For macOS users, I highly recommend ShortCat: https://shortcat.app/ ShortCat uses the accessibility API to put Vimium-style keyboard links on buttons and text fields in any app. I find that Vimium works faster in Firefox than using ShortCat to click around websites, so I use both, but ShortCat technically should do everything (clicking-wise) that Vimium does. |

| ▲ | sooheon 3 days ago | parent | next [-] | | Shortcat has a ~second delay before showing links, homerow (https://www.homerow.app) is faster. | | |
| ▲ | ehnto 3 days ago | parent | next [-] | | I wonder if it has to do with accessibility API thread locking. I found a different extension I used to emulate an i3 style environment suffered when I used the Unity game engine. It ended up being limitations of the accessibility API. | | |
| ▲ | sooheon 2 days ago | parent [-] | | Could be, but there is another app that does the same thing faster so there must be some optimizations available. |
| |
| ▲ | ashton314 3 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | This delay is configurable. The delay is there so you can actually type a bit before the UI pops up, and then the UI will be filtered to just your selection. | | |
| ▲ | sooheon 2 days ago | parent [-] | | The configuration lies. Even with "Show hints" set to "Immediately", there is a long delay. Feels like half a second on M1 Pro. | | |
| ▲ | ashton314 15 hours ago | parent [-] | | Fair, fair—it's default is longer, so dialing it down made it feel zippy by comparison. I'm trying out Homerow and I'm really liking it! Thanks for mentioning it. I might end up sticking with it actually. |

| ▲ | ashton314 3 days ago | parent [-] | | As I understand it, a payment system is in the works. I would gladly fork over some cash to support ShortCat. Looks like someone recommended Homerow, which appears to be pretty comparable to ShortCat, and it has a one-time purchase option. |

| I no longer use vimium, I use vimium-c, but these should work in both, add these to your custom mappings - you'd thank me later: map gf LinkHints.activateOpenInNewTab count=999999
map go LinkHints.click direct="focused" mode="newtab-active"
map gb LinkHints.click direct="focused" mode="newtab"
map gm toggleMuteTab
I would typically do something like this - I'd press "/", search for an occurence, it navigates to one, if it's a link, pressing "go" - opens it in a new tab, "gb" - opens it without switching to it. I promise you, you'd love this.Share your interesting options. |

| i <3 tridactyl [0] - are there upsides to vimium i'm missing? [0] https://tridactyl.xyz/about/ edit: added url |

| ▲ | umbra07 4 days ago | parent | next [-] | | Vimium has better smooth scrolling. I really, really want to use Tridactyl, but I just can't stomach their smooth-scrolling implementation. | | |
| ▲ | GlitchRider47 3 days ago | parent [-] | | Ha! I actually switched from Vimium to Tridactyl partly because I prefer the rough, snappy scrolling. It felt much more like the ctrl+d ctrl+u navigation in VIM. | | |
| ▲ | Izkata 3 days ago | parent [-] | | I never started with Vimium (was using an even less known one), also in part because I find smooth scrolling disorienting. Also on Tridactyl now, once someone on here showed me the hintfiltermode, hintchars, and hintnames settings to get the old Vimperator behavior (which I also find so much better than any current defaults): set hintfiltermode vimperator-reflow
set hintchars 1234567890
set hintnames numeric
Lets you type the words in links, and the hints filter down to only matches. If you go all the way to 1 match it automatically picks it, but as the hints filter down the numeric labels also reset - so there are no gaps betweeen the numbers and it's almost always between 1 and 5 to get the link I want. |

| Vimium, (neo)vim and vim key bindings have been life-changing. |
|
| ▲ | magios 4 days ago | parent | prev [-] |
| i use i3wm so there are various keybindings you can use.
for mouseless stuff i use xdotool to move the pointer in 16 or 64 pixel increments using the keyboard.
if i could toggle the mouse pointer on and off i would. |
