VVimpulation has six modes, which are normal, insert, hint, console, visual, and suspend. Normal Mode Normal mode is VVimpulation's default mode. Some key commands in this mode can combine a count (e.g. 3<C-F> scrolls down by 3 pages). Insert Mode Insert mode is the mode to edit the contents of text field. Note: VVimpulation never switchs insert mode automatically even if a text field is focused. Must use mode changing commands (e.g. press i key). Hint Mode Hint mode is the mode to manipulate a target selected among candidate elements. This mode has four hint types, link, focus, media, and code. Each type has different candidates. In VVimpulation's hint mode, unlike the other Vimperator-like add-ons, select the target at first, and then decide an action for the target. Console Mode Console mode is the mode to invoke a console command (e.g. open, buffer, etc.). Visual Mode Visual mode is the mode to select a text in the current page, and manipulate the text, (e.g. copy, click, or delete the text). Suspend Mode Suspend mode is the mode to disable VVimpulation. If you want to use shortcuts defined in the current page, use this mode. Press <C-[> to leave suspend mode.
