Vimium C is a powerful open-source Chrome extension designed to enhance browsing efficiency by enabling complete keyboard navigation and tab management. It offers comprehensive keyboard shortcuts for page navigation—such as scrolling, hinting clickable elements, and Vim-style visual mode—along with advanced tab operations like tab switching, closing, and restoration.

The extension features an advanced omnibar (Vomnibar) for searching history, bookmarks, and open tabs securely within a safe iframe. Users can customize key mappings according to websites or active page elements and execute global shortcuts even when the browser’s focus is elsewhere. Additional capabilities include clipboard integration, toggling site images and JavaScript, multi-language URL decoding, and syncing across devices. Vimium C empowers users to browse faster and more efficiently without relying on a mouse or touchpad.

Vimium C is a powerful and highly efficient browser extension that greatly enhances keyboard navigation for Vim users and developers.
