Vimperator is gonna break for good by the end of the year. It's been encouraging that the VimFX developer has been so involved in the Web Extension discussions about keyboard input [1]. Unfortunately, the last few updates don't look super promising [2].

Oh gosh :(

VimFx is enough for me, maybe it's for you too. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/vimfx/

What's the subset of Vimperator's features supported by VimFx?

I am for example quite reliant on .vimperatorrc for custom commands and set! about:config preferences.

Thanks! I hadn't seen it, but Vimperator was what finally got me to switch from Chrome/Vimium. If it's customizable enough that I can remap `d` to close a tab and `u` to reopen, I'll be happy... but then I guess I don't need to be happy, as I won't have a choice soon enough :)

Oh, I feel you. I had a hard time remapping Vimperator "Ctrl-u/d" to VimFX "u/d" and Vimperator "u/d" to VimFX "x/X" in my muscle memory.

On the other hand, some parts of VimFX's language are more logical, e.g. "yf" instead of ";y" to select a link into the clipboard.

The removal of XUL addons is scheduled for Firefox 57. https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2017/02/16/the-road-to-firef...
