Electrovim

Electrovim adds Vim keybindings to Firefox. It supports multiprocess mode (also known as electrolysis or e10s).

Installation

Electrovim can be installed from the Firefox Add-ons marketplace.

Upon installation, Electrovim will be available from any new tabs opened. Tabs that were open when Electrovim were installed for the first time may need to be refreshed.

Usage

The current mode (normal or insert) is shown on the bottom right of the window. Clicking inside any input field will automatically enter insert mode. You can leave insert mode by pressing Escape, just like in Vim.

When in normal mode, use d to close the current tab. CTRL+n and CTRL+p switch to the next and previous tab, respectively. CTRL+f and CTRL+b are the equivalent of page up/page down.

Find mode

Press / to enter find mode and begin typing text to search the current page. Electrovim automatically highlights the first match (if any). To find subsequent matches, press Enter to complete the search and press n to iterate through all matches.
