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

Key-maps

The key-maps are configurable in the add-ons preferences by navigating to about:addons and selecting "Extensions". The default mappings are as follows:

Console

  • :: open console
  • o, t, w: open a page in current tab, new tab, or new window
  • O, T, W: similar to o, t, w, but that contains current URL
  • b: Select tabs by URL or title

Scrolling

  • j, k: scroll vertically
  • h, l: scroll horizontally
  • Ctrl+U, Ctrl+D: scroll pages by half of screen
  • Ctrl+B, Ctrl+F: scroll pages by a screen
  • 0, $: scroll a page to leftmost/rightmost
  • gg, G: scroll to top/bottom

Tabs

  • d: delete current tab
  • u: reopen close tab
  • K, J: select prev or next tab
  • g0, g$: select first or last tab
  • r: reload current tab
  • R: reload current tab without cache

Navigation

  • f: start following links in the page
  • H: go back in histories
  • L: go forward in histories
  • [[, ]]: find prev or next links and open it
  • gu: go to parent directory
  • gU: go to root directory

Misc

  • zi, zo: zoom-in/zoom-out
  • zz: Set default zoom level
  • y: copy URL in current tab
  • Shift+Esc: enable or disable the add-on in current tab.

Console commands

Vim Vixen provides a console for ex-style commands similar to Vimperator.

Open the console with :. Or start it with initial values using o, t, or w.

: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 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.

{
  "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/*".

{
  "blacklist": [
    "*.slack.com",
    "example.com/mail/*"
  ]
}

You can toggle Vim Vixen between disabled and enabled with shift + Esc.
