# Vim Vixen
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Vim Vixen is a Firefox add-on which allows you to navigate with keyboard on the browser.
|
|
|
|
|
Firefox started to support WebExtensions API and will stop supporting add-ons using legacy APIs from version 57.
|
|
|
|
|
For this reason, many legacy add-ons do not work on Firefox 57.
|
|
|
|
|
Vim Vixen is a new choice for Vim users since Vim Vixen uses the WebExtensions API.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Basic usage

|
|
|

### Console commands
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Vim Vixen provides a console for `ex`-style commands similar to Vimperator.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Open the console with <kbd>:</kbd>. Or start it with initial values using
|
|
|
|
|
<kbd>o</kbd>, <kbd>t</kbd>, or <kbd>w</kbd>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### `:open` command
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `:open` command operates two different ways, depending on the parameter.
|
|
|
|
|
When the parameter is a URL, that URL is opened in the current tab.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
:open http://github.com/ueokande
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, the current tab will open a search page with the supplied string (defaults to Google).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
:open How to contribute to Vim-Vixen
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To use a search engine other than the default, specify which search engine to use as the first parameter.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
:open yahoo How to contribute to Vim-Vixen
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To adjust the search engine default and add/remove search engines, see the [search engines](#search-engines) section.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### `:tabopen` command
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Open a URL or search keywords by search engine in new tab.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### `:winopen` command
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Open a URL or search keywords by search engine in new window.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### `:buffer` command
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Select tabs by URL or title matched by keywords.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Search engines
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Vim Vixen supports search by search engines like Google and Yahoo.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can configure search engines, including the default search engine, in the add-ons preferences.
|
|
|
|
|
The URLs specified in `"engines"` must contain a {}-placeholder, which will be
|
|
|
|
|
replaced with the search keyword parameters of the command.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
|
|
|
"search": {
|
|
|
|
|
"default": "google",
|
|
|
|
|
"engines": {
|
|
|
|
|
"google": "https://google.com/search?q={}",
|
|
|
|
|
"yahoo": "https://search.yahoo.com/search?p={}",
|
|
|
|
|
"bing": "https://www.bing.com/search?q={}",
|
|
|
|
|
"duckduckgo": "https://duckduckgo.com/?q={}",
|
|
|
|
|
"twitter": "https://twitter.com/search?q={}",
|
|
|
|
|
"wikipedia": "https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search={}"
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Blacklist
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The blacklist allows you to disable the plugin for certain pages by URL patterns.
|
|
|
|
|
For instance, when you describe `"*.slack.com"`, the plugin is disabled on any Slack rooms.
|
|
|
|
|
In addition, you can also specify path patterns, such as `"example.com/mail/*"`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
|
|
|
"blacklist": [
|
|
|
|
|
"*.slack.com",
|
|
|
|
|
"example.com/mail/*"
|
|
|
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can toggle Vim Vixen between disabled and enabled with `shift + Esc`.
