Developer response
posted 7 years agoSorry about the new tab page; we change it so that we can inject our scripts into that page. You can change it with `set newtab [url]`.
There are quite a few configuration options available; I count about 20 odd different things you can change. Just `:viewconfig` and then `:set key1.key2.key3 value`, e.g. `:set nmaps.\ fillcmdline open scholar`. `:help` and `:tutor` should give you a better of what's possible.
Is any option in particular that you would like to change but cannot? - Rated 2 out of 5by 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.
