Navigation & Shortcut¶
A more powerful but complex alternative to Vimperator. The main focus of Vimperator is on usability, simplicity, stability and design while still preserving a powerful, modal browsing experience influenced by Vim. The aim of Pentadactyl is to create a complex beast, where hackers with too much free time can do any (un-)imaginable thing. Also Pentadactyl focuses more on 1:1 Vim compatibility.
FireNVim¶
FireNVim lets you use NeoVim directly from your browser. Contrary to other extensions, it does not open a new OS window. For detailed discussions, please refer to Firenvim Brings NeoVim into Your Browser .
