Vim for Google Chrome.

Why is this different than Vimium, ViChrome, or Vrome? These extensions do a wonderful job of adding Vim-like keybindings to Google Chrome, but they lack many of the features that Firefox Addon, Pentadactyl, have.

What features does cVim add to Chrome?

  • Google/IMDB/Wikipedia/Amazon/Duckduckgo/Yahoo/Bing search completion
  • Support for custom search engines
  • History and Bookmark search/completion with bookmark folder support
  • Caret/Visual mode
  • Efficient link hints (with support for custom mappings)
  • Support for custom keyboard mappings
  • Regex page search with highlighting
  • Command bar with tab-completion
  • Smooth scrolling
