Its been a month since the initial release
of my
Vimperator setup. Some people contacted me just to say thanks, and
I appreciate that, since my first announcement was actually
on Arch BBS and there
were no takers! Not even one... it seems I stumbled into the lair of
vi users. In the meantime Vimperator developers were hard at
work and they
released Vimperator
2.0. I must say it has some great new features but unfortunately
the completion is completely broken for me. Most of the time it will
completely freeze both Firefox and my system. I'm sticking
with v1.2 for now but my setup works just fine
on v2.0.
I did notice some weird behavior with "C-g" as "Esc"
in some cases, but didn't investigate thoroughly. I also filed
a feature request
to enable bindings in "INSERT (menu)" mode so we can
have "C-n" and "C-p" bindings in drop down menus as
next/prev. It's the only thing I miss, to make it worse
the "C-n" binding is Firefox default for "New
Window" so I constantly spawn them when absorbed in my
work. Request was accepted so stay tuned for that one.
Most noticeable change is the introduction of color-schemes, and my
snippet example for userChrome.css will not work as before. I
started
modifying
the default theme to match my previous look but never quite
finished it as I reverted to v1.2 soon. But it's a good start to roll
your own theme. Themes should be placed
in "~/.vimperator/colors/" as "theme-name.vimp" and
can be loaded with ":colorscheme theme-name" both from the
command line or from .vimperatorrc.
