mouse-free

First there was a Navigator, then there was an Explorer. Later it was time for a Konqueror. Now it’s time for an Imperator, the VIMperator :)

VIMperator is a mozilla/firefox plugin from Martin Stubenschrott. It completely redefines the firefox interface to mimic the beloved VIM editor.

If you love vim, you are likely to love VIMperator. If not… well, your loss.

After using it a bit I have a few requirements before it’s perfect:

• fixed / searching

  right now searching is a bit flaky, but I read that the developer is working on writing his own and not using firefox’s built in search.

• ^o for no-clobber mode

  when you use VIMperator, gmail interface does not work – or at least the shortcuts don’t. Having a way to enter a raw entry mode would be nice.

• way to jump to next text entry box

  to avoid the mouse, it would be great if I could cycle through text entry boxes.

• launch vim on an entry box

  I already do this with the It’s all text extension. But it requires a click. Those suck.
