- Vurdert til 5 ut av 5av Firefox-bruker 14054016, 7 år sidenThis add-on keeps getting better and better. Coming from Vimperator I was missing a lot of functionality at the start and I was switching between different replacements like Vim Vixen. But over time more and more functionality was added back in and I settled on Tridactyl. I almost wet myself when CTRL + ^(6) and . started working again. Obviously it's not always as smooth as Vimperator, due to it being a content script, but it gets me most of the way there. Keep up the good work!

- Vurdert til 5 ut av 5av Firefox-bruker 14049133, 7 år sidenThis is the closest thing to Pentadctyl you will find in the new WebExtensions world. It's gotten good enough that I've switched off of Pale Moon (a FF fork) to Firefox and I'm relatively happy so far.
- Vurdert til 4 ut av 5av Firefox-bruker 14048265, 7 år sidenI've been a long time pentadactyl user and like other reviewers here have been evaluating a few alternatives to replace it . So far it seems like tridactyl is the only current one that approaches and has the best potential in trying to provide a pentadactyl/vimperator experience.
Being used to the maturity of pentadactyl, using tridactyl does leave me feeling a bit disabled
- tridactyl sometimes stop working on some pages and I have to switch tabs and back to get it working again
- mapping like 'gh/GH' appear to be documented but do not seem to work.
- things feel slower, e.g. my muscle memory from pentadactyl has a T + Enter to open a newtab but in tridactyl opening the commandline takes about half a second - making a few things no-ops and I have to attempt again albeit slower. :)
- tab-completion at the command line is missing. I hope this gets added.
- searching still uses the firefox native search interface (i.e. `ctrl-f`) but a feature to support this appears to be under development.
- some keybindings are different from pentadactyl - e.g. `yy` as opposed to `y` to yank the url - arguably tridactyl is doing the right thing but it does mean some investment in unlearning/remapping things.
- a lot of my custom plugins for pentdactyl don't work but as javascript support improves, things could be ported over but the docs/examples on this front are few and far between.
tridactyl is still young but has an active community/code-base and I'm sure most of my pains will go away in time. So far it looks like this is the contender I will stick with.Utviklerrespons

> mapping like 'gh/GH' appear to be documented but do not seem to work
I've just added documentation in the betas to explain this better: you need to first set some homepages via `set home url1 url2 url3`. We don't get access to the Firefox ones.

At least some of that is our fault, and we're looking into it, albeit slowly :)

That's usually because focus has gone into an iframe, which are pretty fenced off. There's not much we can do about it :(

These are all in progress. `js` is in the beta branch but is a bit janky.
If you need any help, don't hesitate to come into the Matrix channel or IRC advertised on the new tab page and the help page. - Vurdert til 5 ut av 5av bart9h, 7 år sidenHere's hoping that this will become a worthy successor to Vimperator
- Vurdert til 4 ut av 5av gianni, 7 år sidenFantastic addon, very good work.
Sometimes, when on gmail, I get this error:
"# Error: # Tridactyl's native messenger doesn't support your operating system, yet."Utviklerrespons
postet 7 år sidenThat's weird. Would you mind opening an issue about it on GitHub so that we can investigate it further? Thanks. - Vurdert til 5 ut av 5av Firefox-bruker 14039449, 7 år siden

- Vurdert til 5 ut av 5av Firefox-bruker 14033697, 7 år sidenThis 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!

- Vurdert til 4 ut av 5av Firefox-bruker 14013504, 7 år sidenI was using one of the post WebExtension vim addons before I heard of this one. Very impressed!
Best Firefox vim addon at the moment, keep up the great work developers!
4 stars because this is just a work in progress, but has the most potential of any.
I would really like to open links in container tabs, but this could be an API limitation.Utviklerrespons
postet 7 år sidenI'm actually reviewing a PR that supports container tabs right now: https://github.com/cmcaine/tridactyl/pull/499. It will take a short while before it reaches a stable release, though, as it requires yet more permissions. If you use a beta version of Tridactyl from https://tridactyl.cmcaine.co.uk/betas you'll get it quicker :) - Vurdert til 5 ut av 5av Firefox-bruker 14013442, 7 år sidenGreat 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.Utviklerrespons
postet 7 år sidenWe 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. - Vurdert til 5 ut av 5av Firefox-bruker 14012595, 7 år sidenWhile 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.
- Vurdert til 5 ut av 5av BAON, 7 år sidenThis 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!!! - Vurdert til 4 ut av 5av Ashwin Vishnu, 7 år sidenGreat extension! One star less because it requires a lot of permissions.

postet 7 år sidenAre there any that you particularly dislike? Feel free to file an issue here: https://github.com/cmcaine/tridactyl/issues. All of the permissions we ask for are because we need them for features, as we try to explain in the add-on description.
It would be nice if we could just ask for permission when the features are first used, but unfortunately most of the permissions we need are not supported by permission requests at runtime - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Request_the_right_permissions#Request_permissions_at_runtime. - Vurdert til 5 ut av 5av Marcel Samyn, 7 år sidenWonderful 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 ;) - Vurdert til 5 ut av 5av WooParadog, 7 år siden

- Vurdert til 5 ut av 5av Firefox-bruker 14000582, 7 år sidenThe 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!
