Vimmatic: Enhance Your Browsing Experience with Vim-like Key Binds
Vimmatic is a Chrome extension developed by Shin'ya Ueoka that brings Vim-like key binds to your web browser, allowing for easier and faster navigation. With this extension, you can navigate pages, switch tabs, and open websites using your keyboard. It provides a unique browsing experience for Vim users, allowing them to configure keymaps and browse pages according to their preferences.
After installing Vimmatic, you can take control of your browsing experience with Vim-like keymaps. Use the `k`, `j`, `h`, and `l` keys to scroll through web pages. To quickly navigate to the top or bottom of a page, simply press `gg` or `G`. Switching between tabs is made easy with the `K` and `J` keys for selecting the tab to the left or right of the current tab. Closing tabs is a breeze with the `d` key, and if you accidentally close a tab, you can restore it with the `u` key. Opening links is also streamlined with the `f` key, which enters follow mode, allowing you to select a link using alphabetic keys.
Vimmatic also includes a command line feature that allows you to run commands to control tabs and open new tabs. Simply press `:` to open the command line, and use the `open` command followed by a URL to open a new tab with the specified website. The command line also supports auto-completion, making it even more convenient to use.
