----------------------------------------------

[Advanced Tips]
<Key mapping for Page-Open shortcuts>
nmap <Space>tw :OpenNewTab http://www.twitter.com
nmap <Space>gr :OpenNewTab http://www.google.co.jp/reader
nmap <Space>m :OpenNewTab https://mail.google.com/mail/#inbox
This example is a part of my own settings.I'm using <SPACE> key for launcher prefix key. this offers you very quick access to your favorite web sites.
<Continuous f-Mode>
nmap F :GoFMode --newtab --continuous
By default, F is assigned to ":GoFMode --newtab". When you intend to use f-Mode with "--newtab" , you may want to open 2 or more links with new tabs continuously.This example offers you surprisingly efficient way for that. Continuous f-Mode will not exit by hitting a hint so you can continuously open many links.
<Alias>
alias ext OpenNewTab chrome://extensions/
alias option OpenNewTab chrome://settings/browser
If your key setting is filled up with your customization so you can't add new key setting, Alias is a very meaningful solution.In this example you can open Chrome's extension page by executing a command :ext and open chrome's setting page with :option
[Future Release Plan]
since Vichrome is too young, There may be lacking in functionality and is being under
very active development.So here's some of the release plan.
* a command to launch chrome apps
Also, if you have any requests I'll implement it.

Latest reviews
Complete waste of time. It doesn't work at all, and there are no instructions on how to enable it, troubleshoot or to find out what's wrong.
Such a pleasure to use. Good job selecting the hotkeys.
Like it ,but now i doesn't work now!
非常棒的扩展
"Error:Can't open commandbox. Try to reload page" Reloading the pages does absolutely nothing, but redisplay this message. In addition, this seems to break other, already established Chrome Hot-Keys.
This is too much for chrome, most of commands are already implemented through shortcuts, sandbox is not intuitive and more like getting in way than helping. Better choice to Rat Poison your workspace is "hit a hint" or similar extension
Love this one, powerful and no issue found yet.
重宝しています。 要望があるのですが、Google検索結果をページ内検索に連動させることってできますか？
some time, the c-h is back to history, not the pre-tab
Excellent for power-browsing through the web, especially for those of us that love Vim.
Nice extension, but definitely does not with DDG. For instance, no way to "o" to a bang. The the CTRL-l or equivalent is not working. So I would love to use it, but it does not work for me.
good tool ,I enjoy it, thanks.
Better than the other vim integration extensions i've tried
iとlの違いをわかりやすかったら5☆でした。 それ以外はめちゃくちゃ使いやすいです！vimmer絶賛です。 このプラグイン無しではChrome出来ません。ありがとうございます！ 修正待ってます！ 宜しくお願いします！
キーボードのみの操作ができるようになるので非常に便利。 リンクを開いていくFモードが非常に使いやすい。ただiとlの違いがmacからだとわかりにくいのが難点。あと、continuous f-Modeの時に一つのページを開いたあとに以前の頭文字のリンクしか表示されないのを修正していただけるとパーフェクト。
This is lovely, very vim-like, and f-mode is inspired. Unfortunately search is broken for some pages, and is getting to the point where I may have to disable it.
カスタマイズの自由さを大好きです。勉強足りないかもしれないが、ページ上にあるURLのコピー方法がありますか？
As a programmer doing all his stuff by keyboard shortcuts I want to say : thank you.
Definitely the best Vim plugin for chrome. Has the most functions and customization. Plus it crashes least.
もうこれ無しではブラウジングできません。
It does not woork with google Chrome 21 !!!!
日本語に対応していて、すごく使いやすいです。 ただ、ヒントによる文字の指示がまれに間違っているので、そこは直して欲しい。 --------------------------- 追記：ヒントの文字列に重複があったため、間違っているように見えた模様。文字が重複しているかを検知していただけると、ありがたいです。
Beats vimium! But I don't understand how to add a bookmark. Pressing 'b' searches bookmarks (great!). I miss the 'add to bookmark' functionality.
I love this tool. But sometimes it doesn't work. To solve it I have to disable it and enable it again. Hope this bug can be fixed in the future.
pretty good vi extension.
It has too many bugs, but it has more options and operations than others. It is more convenient.
Search interface broken for some webpages.
