Leap: Neovim’s Answer to the Mouse | Oct 2022

Vimium C (https://github.com/gdh1995/vimium-c) supports link hinting by simply typing a few characters of the link you want to press. It also searches the actual url and alt-text for links without text (such as buttons and icons). I found it by accident looking through its settings and it has by far been the best improvement to my browsing experience since discovering tabs.

I found Vimium C [0] works better for Firefox (some features were broken on Vimium), and it's on Chrome too.

Web Search Navigator: Keyboard Navigation for Google, YouTube, GitHub, Amazon | Aug 2020

Web Search Navigator is a Chrome/Firefox extension that adds keyboard shortcuts to Google, YouTube, Github, Amazon, Startpage, and Google Scholar.

Note that this extension focuses on searching, not general keyboard navigation. For the latter, you should look into extensions such as Vimium [1], Tridactyl [2], and Surfingkeys [3]. Alternatively, if you are willing to use a niche browser, you should look into Qutebrowser [4], Nyxt [5], and Vieb [6].

I use it with Vimium C [7] and Firenvim [8], which are both excellent browser extensions that focus on more general keyboard navigation. This provides reasonably good keyboard-based web browsing in Chrome/Firefox.

Ask HN: Is there a whole universe of Chinese software that we don't see? | Jun 2020

One project I use on a daily basis that isn't well known (and is by a Chinese developer) is Vimium C (https://github.com/gdh1995/vimium-c). It has similar functionality to Vimium, cVim, Vimperator, Pentadactyl and the like—browser navigation using vim-like shortcuts. Vimium C is quite customizable, offers great functionality, and the developer seems quite responsive to issues. The code is written in TypeScript and I found it easy to read. Highly recommended.
