Keymaps

Keymaps are configurable in the add-on's preferences by navigating to about:addons and selecting "Extensions". The default mappings are as follows:

Console

• :: open the console
• o, t, w: open a page in the current tab, a new tab, or new window
• O, T, W: similar to o, t, w, but using the current URL
• b: select tabs by URL or title
• a: add the current page to your bookmarks

See the console commands section for a more detailed description.

Tabs

• d: delete the current tab and select the tab to its right
• D: delete the current tab and select the tab to its left
• !d: delete a pinned tab
• u: reopen a close tab
• r: reload the current tab
• R: reload the current tab, bypassing the cache
• K or gT: select the previous tab
• J or gt: select the next tab
• g0: select the first tab
• g$: select the last tab
• Ctrl+6: open the previously-selected tab
• zp: pin the curent tab tab
• zd: duplicate the current tab

Scrolling

• k: scroll up
• j: scroll down
• h: scroll left
• l: scroll right
• Ctrl+U: scroll up half a page
• Ctrl+D: scroll down half a page
• Ctrl+B: scroll up a page
• Ctrl+F: scroll down a page
• gg: scroll to the top of a page
• G: scroll to the bottom of a page
• 0: scroll to the leftmost part of a page
• $: scroll to the rightmost part of a page
• m: set a mark for the current position
• ': jump to a marked position

Lowercase marks ([a-z]) store the position of the current tab. Uppercase and numeric marks ([A-Z0-9]) store the position and the tab.

Zoom

• zi: zoom in
• zo: zoom out
• zz: zoom neutral (reset)

Navigation

• f: follow links in the page in the current tab
• F: follow links in the page in a new tab
• H: go back in history
• L: go forward in history
• [[, ]]: find a link to the previous/next page and open it
• gu: go to the parent directory
• gU: go to the root directory
• gi: focus the first input field

Vim Vixen can be configured to follow links opened in tabs in the background instead of switching to a new tab immediately. To do this, you'll need to update the config file: change the "background" property of the "follow.start" action to true, e.g.:

{
    "keymaps": {
        "F": { "type": "follow.start", "newTab": true, "background": true }
    }
}

Misc

• y: copy the URL of the current tab to the clipboard
• p: open the clipboard's URL in the current tab
• P: open the clipboard's URL in new tab
• Shift+Esc: enable or disable the add-on in the current tab
• /: start searching for text in the page
• n: find the next search result in the page
• N: find the previous search result in the page
• gf: view the source of the current tab
