Vimkeys - Firefox Extension

(originally developed/maintained by hut, but it seems like it's been abandoned for 2 years)

This small extension gives you the most useful keybindings from the text-editor vim.

I want to keep this as small as possible, so there is no settings window. If you want to add/change keys, please edit the source and send a pull request.

Installation

You can find and install the latest release directly at addons.mozilla.org.

If you want the bleeding-edge development edition, then clone this repo into the extensions-folder of your firefox profile-folder and restart firefox

$ cd ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/fr4vxxec.default/extensions
$ git clone [email protected]:engeld/vimkeys.git [email protected]
