Feature Request: Edit Vomnibar using Vim keybinds

[stevenxxiu]

What command or commands

I'd like to edit Vomnibar using Vim keybinds. Using arrow keys is much less comfortable. I'm used to using Firenvim to edit textareas.

How should a feature do

I'd like to include:

• Keybinds such as C-w (this key is accessible to extensions by using e.g. AUR (en) - firefox-no-reserved-keys-patch).
• A command mode.

Perhaps it's just easiest to just work together with Firenvim?

Browser and OS

• Browser name: Firefox v133.0b9
• OS name: Arch Linux kernel v6.11.8
• Vimium C v1.99.997

Maybe you can refer to Trigger commands in an input box · gdh1995/vimium-c Wiki.

I doubt whether it is reasonable to add "command mode" to Vominbar.

But for your request, I have a system-wide solution.

map caps+w to ctrl+rightarrow (like w in vim)
map caps+b to ctrl+leftarrow (like b in vim)
map caps+a to end (like A in vim)
map caps+i to home (like I in vim)

and so on...

Thus, you can navigate with vim-like keys in any input boxes.

In my environment, I use rvaiya/keyd: A key remapping daemon for linux. to make those mappings

I don't see any mention of Vomnibar in that page. I'm quite specifically after editing Vomnibar using Vim keys.

"Like" Vim isn't good enough for me. For your workaround in particular, I have my Caps Lock bound to Esc, so that won't work.

I want the exact keys and a command mode. A lot of Linux programs support this, and the code isn't all that complicated.

If this can be integrated with Firenvim, then there doesn't even need to be any extra code to support Vim input.

Sorry for my misunderstanding. Now, vimium-c can just implement vim-like navigation, not vim-like editing.

Me too. My caps works as esc when press it, and works as other keys when hold it.

BTW, you can use <alt-b> <alt-e> to make simple navigation in Vomnibar by default.
