Emacs keybindings addon for Firefox
Emacs keybindings addon for Firefox - kyu
I’m currently in the process of taking over as maintainer for the emacs-keybindings [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/emacs-keybinding/] addon for Firefox. I’ve just published the first update in years, with changes including: - tested on Windows and Linux now - some functionality is now configurable: debug logging, custom new tab page, experimental features, modifier-less high level bindings - all keybindings are listed in the options settings page - M- keybindings are now also reachable via ESC - M-< and M-> was added for scrolling to top/bottom - introducing prefix key, currently only used for opening/closing of windows (C-u C-x C-f or C-u C-k) - search is introduced as experimental feature - currently it just highlights all matches - the extension now registers as browser action in preparation for additional features Unfortunately a lot of things that used to work with the old XUL plugins few years back just don’t work with the new APIs - and Firefox developers have been sitting on relevant bugs for 8 years or more without anything happening now - so this is probably close to the best we can have for now. In combination with setting editing keybindings either via Gnome settings or AHK it makes browsing almost bearable again.
