by nikos, 7 years agoNo documentation. The user is just expected to know all the features. It's promising but without documentation useless.
Developer response
posted 7 years agoI totally agree! Thanks for trying it out.
We currently have some documentation on the new tab page and if you press colon, type "help" and then press enter. It isn't ideal as it is pretty much developer documentation, but it should give you an idea of the commands available.
Where we are totally failing is in giving feedback to users with error messages, and documenting the current bindings - but that's coming soon; we are also very bad for first time users of anything Vim-like, but an introduction for those people is quite a low priority because there are ~20K people for whom Vimperator will stop working on Tuesday, and we want to help them first.
Thanks again for giving us a go, and for the feedback.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18422486, 3 months agoI love this and can't live without it. There's some issues I'd love to see taken care of, if even possible.
Sometimes I need to click on a blank space on a page to make tridactyl perform an action, like scrolling with J/K, or typing a command with ":" .
Second issue I have is where I activate hint mode with F, and there are way too many hint labels on a specific element, many of which don't do anything, and only one that actually does something. Maybe it could be implementet that hint labels that don't do anything when typed are hidden from hint mode, and that hints that do the same thing (like click the same button) are merged into each other.
3rd issue is that on using t to tabopen, it searches not just the urls from my bookmarks and history, it also searches in the tab "titles", which is for example "Tridactyl – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox (en-US)" for this mozilla page. I'd like to just search in urls from my bookmarks and history, not those titles too.
Also when using t to tabopen, I'd like it to open the page at the top when pressing enter, instead of searching what I just typed in. Because now I have to press the Tab key everytime I want to open the top url. I don't want to search the part after :tabopen, because I would have just used the s/S key to search.
Tridactyl breaks microsoft teams by the way, so I had to do :blacklistadd teams.microsoft.com.
I also look forward to tridactyl working on addons.mozilla.org and other sites. - Rated 5 out of 5by TS, 3 months ago
