- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14033697, 7 years agoThis extension is awesome. For a while I was using the extended release version of Firefox so that I could keep using Vimperator, but Tridactyl has reached the point where that's no longer necessary. Also it's currently very actively developed, and has gotten a lot better in the last few weeks even. Great work!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14013442, 7 years agoGreat addon! One thing that could be improved is the selection of keys for multi-key shortcuts which should ideally use keys that are next to each other.
EDIT: Thanks for the quick reply! I guess I was a bit unclear with what I meant. I wasn't referring to the shortcuts for commands (I'm actually very happy with those) but the little hint tags that show up when pressing f/F. My suggestion here would be to prioritize simple combinations (double keys, nearby keys) based on a selected keyboard layout (e.g. qq, kk, qw, kl, ...) instead of just incrementally exhausting the 'hintchars' pool.Developer response
posted 7 years agoWe just use the same binds as Vimperator because the authors are lazy and don't want to have to relearn anything. If you have anything that you particularly dislike, feel free to file an issue: https://github.com/cmcaine/tridactyl/issues.
You almost rebind anything you want, though, with `bind [key sequence] [command]`. If you just do `bind [key sequence]` you'll find out what that command that sequence is bound to, and `viewconfig nmaps` will show you all of the binds you have. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14012595, 7 years agoWhile it is much less feature-full than Vimperator, it works well, the keybindings are mostly intuitive, and I am excited by the fast pace of development.
- Rated 5 out of 5by BAON, 7 years agoThis add-on saved me from leaving firefox due a lack of vimperator feel.
At the current state of development, there is no missed feature since it already has everything I was used to. Thank you!!! - Rated 5 out of 5by Marcel Samyn, 7 years agoWonderful extension! Works well and new cool features keep getting added.
Too bad some features don't work (well) because of WebExtension limitations but things can only get better ;) - Rated 5 out of 5by WooParadog, 7 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14000582, 7 years agoThe extension is well-written and works pretty well! There are a few bugs, but nothing significant, and development is active and focused.
I would appreciate a little more documentation on the various features though.
Nonetheless, an essential addition to firefox! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13989448, 7 years agoGreat alternative to vimperator since it's not supported in firefox.
Great keybinds and the tutor is easy to follow. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13988718, 7 years agoThis is awesome addon that takes place of pentadactyl/vimperator and such.
It still under heavy development but it already useful and moves in a right direction.
The road the developers take is to make it more like vimperator rather pentadactyl somewhy, given the name is closer to penta :) But nevertheless it awesome.
Thanks guys! - Rated 5 out of 5by ssamm45, 7 years agoIt's amazing how much faster it is to work with only the keyboard. This plugin along with the dwm window manager and the vis text editor mean I rarely have to use my mouse for normal tasks. The native client was just released in beta and it unlocks even more possibilities. I can use an external for thoes times I need to write larger pieces of text or code in browser, filter urls through a shell script, etc.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13803480, 7 years agoOne of the best vim'z since beginning! I tried a lot of addons in last years, but no one could reach this one. Big thanks.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Chris Pinkus, 7 years agoI am a long-time pentadactyl user, and was forced to stick with ESR and other 'old' versions of firefox just to keep that addon. I eventually got fed up with doing that last month, so I tried every addon that adds vim-like bindings, only to find that they all suck compared to pentadactyl.
However, I just tried this addon today and it's the closest thing to pentadactyl I've seen so far. I am definitely a fan, and I hope the developers of this addon keeps us pentadactyl users in mind :)
Really amazing work, keep up the good job! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13528676, 7 years ago
