Vimium

Vimium is a browser extension that adds Vim-style keyboard navigation to the web. It lets you move, open links, switch tabs, and run searches without touching the mouse.

Repo: philc/vimium

What does this config do

This folder provides two Vimium configuration files:

• keymaps.conf: custom key mappings that align with HyprVim-style navigation.
• custom-search-options.conf: a set of search engine keywords used by the Vimium Vomnibar.

Installation

1. Install the Vimium extension in your browser.
2. Open Vimium settings:
   • Click the Vimium icon → Options
3. Copy/paste the config files into the correct fields:

• Custom key mappings → paste the contents of extras/vimium/keymaps.conf
• Custom search engines → paste the contents of extras/vimium/custom-search-options.conf

Usage

• Use J/K for tab switching.
• Use g-prefixed searches (e.g., gh for GitHub, gy for YouTube).
• Use <space> as a leader for common searches and tab selection.
