#tridactyl — Public Fediverse posts

@normalmode I used #Vimium for something like a year, then switched to Vimium‐C for perhaps another year or two. A few months ago I tried out #Tridactyl, and have been using it since.

They're similar in more ways than they're different, but with Tridactyl there seems to be a lot more customisability than is offered in Vimium‐C, plus it has a substantially greater catalogue of features to play with – not to mention that there are some big updates on the way (https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#release-1250--unreleased).

In general, I get the sense from Tridactyl that it's a bit more ‘rough around the edges’. For example, on a lot of sites with a pop‐up asking for your cookie preferences, Tridactyl doesn't seem capable of interacting with the page until the cookie dialogue is manually closed. Whereas in all the time that I used Vimium and Vimium‐C, I never had that problem.

Then again, Tridactyl seems to be a bit snappier, especially on startup. Overall, Tridactly is more complete, customisable, and is being actively improved. Using it feels slightly like a compromise, where you're losing some polish for a richer set of features. This is worthwhile for me, and I'm sure it will be more polished over time.

The biggest praise I can give to Vimium‐C is that its default bindings are very sensible. For example, looking through your bookmarks is as easy as ‘b’ or ‘B’ (for new tab). Looking through your tabs is ‘t’. ‘yi’ to copy an image. And many more... Also, it seems to be a bit easier to configure custom search engine aliases in Vimium‐C than in Tridactyl, though both support this feature.

I have a very pleasant update regarding this comment. It turns out that #Tridactyl has exactly the feature I had desired, so that this very reply was written in #Vim and automatically entered into the Mastodon web interface.

I'll leave this here in case someone else has a similar desire and sees my original comment.

Day 16 Tabs ⚙

Tabs aren’t something I use. I know you can use gt, and Gt to go to the next/previous tab. I use actually that with #Tridactyl, the plugin for Firefox/Librewolf, that brings #Vim keybindings in your browser.

I've just discovered that <C-a> and <C-x> can be used with Tridactyl to increment/decrement URL in the same way as it can be used on Vim/NeoVim to increment/decrement integers (or other things with plugins, like changing boolean values, day or month names, etc).

This is quite useful to check XEPs on https://xmpp.org/extensions/ ! For instance if you are checking XEP-0499, <C-a> will open the XEP-0500.

I'm testing #tridactyl after a couple of years of using #vimium

My only conclusion atm is: do not fuck with my muscle memory!

Tridactyl 1.24.3 released, disables smooth scroll in FF141+ because it's totally broken. A real fix will come eventually

Update via about:addons -> cog in top right -> check for updates -> restart Firefox

Really rushed this out so imagine some bugs will have crept in, please report them here or via GitHub as usual ❤️

#tridactyl #firefox

I've been using Tridactyl[1] for a long time now for keyboard-driven vi bindings in the browser and yesterday decided to check out the alternatives, thinking maybe they provided some interesting features too.

I looked them all up: Vimium, Vimium C, Vimmatic, SurfingKeys and the result is: I am in awe of how advanced Tridactyl is in comparison to all of them.

Native messaging*, comprehensive ex command mode for commands and settings with live-previewed completions; hint-based visual selection, copying and focus; support for local filesystem text-based configuration; binding sequential browser actions to custom commands; tab group commands; actually launching (neo)vim to edit text areas; ...to name a few!

* do bear in mind the security implications of native messaging, as noted by the developers themselves, but you can have most of the functionality without it

The #Brutaldon #Mastodon client works extremely well together with the #Tridactyl #Firefox extension. So, if you want to control your Mastodon experience with your keyboard, this combination of tools is pretty awesome imho.

J’aimerais réinstaller une de ces extensions #Firefox permettant de le contrôler au clavier "à la Vim".

Quelle extension ? #Vimium ? Vimium C ? #Tridactyl ? Autre ?

The vim extension #tridactyl breaks #msteams on #firefox.

In order to load the site, we need to "superignore" the site to not inject the Trydactyl script into the site.

Heh. #Tridactyl has pied piper mode. #firefox

PSA for #VimEverywhere crowd and disgruntled #Pentadactyl and #Vimperator users!

For several years already there is a stable version of VIM-in-firefox which doesn't require #Palemoon.

It's called #Tridactyl and here's its #Github page: https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl

#Firefox users:
#tridactyl vs #vimium. What say you? I like vimium (C) a lot, but does Tridactyl have features I'm missing out on?

For all the #neovim and #vim lovers out there that are also using #firefox - as we all should do - here is something to play with on this fine #sunday

I've been using #tridactyl instead of #vimium on Firefox over the past few days. It seems so much more flexible.

PSA for #Tridactyl users who may have been living under a rock like yours truly:

v1.23 adds support for tab groups!

It works well, and means there's no more need for extra #Firefox extensions. Yay!

@bitprophet Have you tried #tridactyl ?

#Emacs keybindings for #Tridactyl

https://github.com/jumper047/tridactyl_emacs_config

which contains a very useful note on another way to get around hardcoded #Firefox shortcut keys:

"...First thing you need to change default Firefox bindings like Ctrl-N. It is impossible to change or disable that bindings, but you can change the modifier key used in that bindings instead. Go to about:config page and set ui.key.accelKey to 91 (WinKey ~ Super Key). You can find more keycodes here - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/KeyboardEvent/keyCode, but seems like WinKey is optimal choice because both Ctrl- and Alt- bindings are needed..."
