A keyboard shortcut tool for keyboard-based page navigation and browser tab operations with an advanced omnibar and global shortcuts
Vimium C is an open source browser extension that provides keyboard-based inner-page navigation, browser tab operations, and an enhanced search panel, so you may take full advantages of your browser without a mouse or touchpad.
It supports all original commands of Vimium and some new useful commands (a full list can be seen in a help dialog in the Vimium C Options page). And it can map a same key sequence to different commands for different websites (and/or for different active elements in page).
For example:
* press `f` to hint all clickable elements of the current web page
* press `o` to show a search panel ("Vomnibar", a safe iframe) to search in your history, bookmarks, opened tabs and configured search engines, and you can even remove a history or tab by selecting a search result and pressing Shift+Delete
* press j, k, h, l to scroll down/up/left/right on web pages
* press "/" to search for text; press "v" to enter Visual Mode (just like VIM)
* press Shift+J, Shift+K, `g0`, `g$` to switch to the previous/next/first/last tab
* press `x` to remove a tab, and Shift+X to restore recently closed tabs (sessions), and many other commands
* command repetition: for example, pressing `5X` (`5`, Shift+X) will restore 5 recent closed tabs
* configure key mappings to bind Vimium C's tens of commands to other key sequences, and add options to switch command behaviors
* apply block lists and allow lists of key mappings on configurable special websites and URLs
It can copy any selected text and current tab's title and URL to the system clipboard, and read the clipboard to search the copied text using a specified search engine.
It can also enable/disable websites' image loading and even JavaScript execution, if you trigger its command "toggleCS". This functionality requires a permission of "Change your settings that control websites' access to features such as cookies, JavaScript ...", and Vimium C promises that it won't do any thing secretly, but only act on what key sequences you press.
It will provide 8 "global" browser shortcuts: createTab, previousTab, nextTab, reloadTab, and some others, so you may bind some key sequences to them, and then these commands will work even when a page has no focus (e.g. when the browser address bar is focused).
It will register an omnibox keyword "v", and if you input "v" and press Space on the browser address bar (omnibox), you can do searches for history, bookmarks and tabs just like you're inputting on its Vomnibar.
It supports encoded URLs, and you can search Chinese, Japanese and Korean words in URLs of history and bookmarks. You may configure it to decode URLs in a charset of your locale .
It will download all synced settings from the Internet during the first installation, and you may enable/disable the syncing on certain computers.
If you have any exclusion rule for key mappings, it will monitor browser tab URL changes to re-check whether a new URL matches your URL pattern list.
Vimium C may show a notification when it gets upgraded to a new minor version.
For more information about release notes, rebinding your keys and how to use many of Vimium C's features, please see here: https://github.com/gdh1995/vimium-c#readme , or https://gitee.com/gdh1995/vimium-c#git-readme . There're also wiki pages.
V2.xx now uses the Manifest V3 feature on your browser, and the minimum required version has been increased to Chromium 102 on Vimium C v2.11.x.
Since v2.12, Vimium C will require Chromium 109+, so that it may work faster and more robustly.
# Declaration for Applicable Regions
When people in "all regions" visit this store, Vimium C and other extensions published by [gdh1995](https://github.com/gdh1995) are always available.
But This behavior is only to make these extensions easier to use, but DOES NOT EXPRESS OR IMPLIED the author (gdh1995) "agrees or has no objection to" that "Taiwan" can be parallel to "China", which was an **inappropriate** status quo in the stores' pages on 2021-06-03.
According to [The Constitution of the People's Republic of China](http://www.npc.gov.cn/npc/c505/201803/e87e5cd7c1ce46ef866f4ec8e2d709ea.shtml) and international consensus, Taiwan is an inalienable part of the sacred territory of the People's Republic of China.

- (2023-10-24) banana: 小粉紅抄襲出來的山寨貨
- (2023-09-14) Josh D: 用了很久,点赞。如果v选中文字后,也可以快捷键新标签搜索的话就好了。另外,和插件tab suspender不兼容,跳转到冻结的标签就不能用了。。
- (2023-09-05) Yabin CHENG: Hi, Thanks for your development to Vimium. 我这里有个比较奇怪的问题,当我打开这个Chrome插件: 深色模式 - Сhrome 的深色閱讀器,之后无论我通过这个插件进入Dark mode 还是保持页面不变(light mode/ default mode), 我如果想进入 搜索模式都需要敲击两次 / 键 (一次打开搜索模式,第二次打字的光标才进入右下角的搜索框),我感觉有点莫名其妙。 Anyway, 感觉这个奇怪的现象与您的插件代码也不是直接相关的,还需要与对面插件做调研,估计是很难容易的搞定。 Thank you for your great work Again! Have a good day.

- (2022-08-19) Messaoud Oggad: Best Vim extension, it contains several extensions in one (look for a bookmark or a tab ,navigate in the tabs, in the history etc).To extend Vimium C off the html page and in all apps you can use "KeyMouse on github" for Windows applications , it works best with Edge to open folders from the favorites bar and more. Alternate " KeyMouse " and "Vimium C" to solve WSchools exercises, to avoid memorizing many keyboard shortcuts in VSCode, to avoid exceptions & keyboard shortcut conflicts in Youtube etc.Vimac and Shortcat for macOS.
- (2022-08-10) 周李圆: 很棒,适配一下h5的history api就更棒了。就是location通过js变化的时候能刷新识别焦点
- (2022-08-04) MeowYume: Thank you for the excellent extension This one is better than the other Vimium extension as it allows you to unblind the number keys 0-9 as well. Very useful!
- (2022-08-02) Default Cube: It's good, just the thing is you can't permanently disable it on every single website until you re-enable it manually.
- (2022-07-24) Γιώργος Παναγιωτόπουλος: An absolutely necessary extension for every power-user. Also, the ability to set custom shortcuts to overide chrome defaults (like Ctrl-H) is amazing.
- (2022-07-14) erya wang: 在浏览器里几乎是全能的,感谢作者。如果在桌面也能使用就无敌了。
- (2022-06-28) Abdul Qoyyuum Haji Abdul Kadir (Agent Q): I surf the web a lot and I find this extension helps keep my fingers on the keyboard a whole lot more than on my mousepad/mouse. Love this extension!

- (2022-06-11) Chas Lui: 非常不错,几个 vim 扩展最好的一个了
- (2022-06-01) Sridhar Katakam: This is the greatest extension ever made! I surf the web with single-key shortcuts. I copy link URL with yf and the link text with yt.

- (2021-05-31) 第一天下: great!!!!
- (2021-05-30) Miscellane J: So much snappier than the original, it's crazy. Original vimium had to load the entire page before you could do anything. There are also a few extra features. I really like the change in 'W' to cycle tab between windows instead of only into a new window.

- (2021-03-18) Thiên Minh: You are sooo good, thank you so much!

- (2021-01-25) Serhii Vusatyi: Vimium C and Shortcut Forwarding Tool are brilliant extensions.
