Extension summary

This extension adds (some) VIM keyboard shortcuts to Workflowy.com.

It allows you to be more efficient in your work by emphasizing a mouse free interaction and placement of hand in the home row.

It features modal based editing in which you mainly switch between two major modes:

  • normal mode: deals exclusively with editing of text and bullets.
  • Insert mode: simply takes input from the user.

These keyboard shortcuts are similar, if not identical, in their behaviour to the ones that can be found in the text editor called VIM.

All VIM behaviours are not supported yet. New shortcuts are continously added. Please refer to the following page for the full list of the supported shortcuts: https://github.com/Wojnach/vimflowy

Please report any bugs you might find to: https://github.com/Wojnach/vimflowy/issues

Looks like it stoped working on workflowy recently. Will there be any update to fix it? thanks
