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!

- Vurdering: 4 av 5av Firefox user 14048265, 7 år sidanI'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.Svar frå utviklaren

> 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. - Vurdering: 5 av 5av bart9h, 7 år sidanHere's hoping that this will become a worthy successor to Vimperator

Sometimes, when on gmail, I get this error:
"# Error: # Tridactyl's native messenger doesn't support your operating system, yet."Svar frå utviklaren
posta 7 år sidanThat's weird. Would you mind opening an issue about it on GitHub so that we can investigate it further? Thanks. - Vurdering: 5 av 5av Firefox user 14039449, 7 år sidan

- Vurdering: 5 av 5av Firefox user 14033697, 7 år sidanThis 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!

- Vurdering: 4 av 5av Firefox user 14013504, 7 år sidanI 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.Svar frå utviklaren
posta 7 år sidanI'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 :) - Vurdering: 5 av 5av Firefox user 14013442, 7 år sidanGreat 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.Svar frå utviklaren
posta 7 år sidanWe 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. - Vurdering: 5 av 5av Firefox user 14012595, 7 år sidanWhile 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.
- Vurdering: 5 av 5av BAON, 7 år sidanThis 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!!! - Vurdering: 4 av 5av Ashwin Vishnu, 7 år sidanGreat extension! One star less because it requires a lot of permissions.
Svar frå utviklaren
posta 7 år sidanAre 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. - Vurdering: 5 av 5av Marcel Samyn, 7 år sidanWonderful 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 ;) - Vurdering: 5 av 5av WooParadog, 7 år sidan
- Vurdering: 5 av 5av Firefox user 12349192, 7 år sidan
- Vurdering: 5 av 5av Firefox user 14000582, 7 år sidanThe 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!
