Modeless Keyboard Navigation

Name: Modeless Keyboard Navigation
Author: James Stout

Based on Vimium by Phil Crosby and Ilya Sukhar (see https://github.com/philc/vimium). Unlike Vimium, the keyboard shortcuts can be used at any time, and the default bindings use modifier keys (think Emacs, not Vim).

Features & Capabilities

This extension lets you do more in Firefox using keyboard shortcuts. It is closely based on Vimium-FF (see https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/vimium-ff/ for details). Unlike Vimum-FF, keyboard shortcuts are available at all times -- no need to press Esc. Keyboard shortcut defaults have been adjusted so that all shortcuts require modifier keys:

<c-,> open a link in the current tab <c-.> open a link in a new tab <a-f> open multiple links in new tabs <c-[> cycle forward to the next frame <c-;> open bookmark <c-'> open bookmark in a new tab

To configure more keyboard mappings or adjust other settings, click the "V" icon in the upper right of the window and then "options".

Is Modeless Keyboard Navigation Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Modeless Keyboard Navigation requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
