# Vim Vixen
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Vim Vixen is a Firefox add-on which allows you to easily navigate the web by
|
|
|
|
|
keyboard. Since version 57, Firefox has migrated to the WebExtensions API and
|
|
|
|
|
has dropped support for legacy add-ons. Vim Vixen is a new choice for Vim users
|
|
|
|
|
since it uses the WebExtensions API.

|
|
|
|
|
respectively. To close current tab, use <kbd>d</kbd> and to restore closed
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To open a link, press <kbd>f</kbd> to enter the **follow mode** to select a
|
|
|
|
|
link. Then you can select links by alphabetic keys.
