there's now a proposal for it https://github.com/w3c/webextensions/pull/1019/changes so it will probably appear eventually.

I wonder what friction/maintenance he found with Tridactyl For me the friction always comes when I try to use the internet without it

For websites stealing keys from Firefox, Tridactyl has some terribly named settings called `leavegithubalone` and `leavegithubalonekeys` If `leavegithubalone` is set to false (the …

You might be interested to learn that Tridactyl and Firenvim use the same library to manage getting and setting text across the various JS editors https://github.com/glacambre/edit…

FWIW I got some of the way through embedding a PDF viewer in Tridactyl [1] so that the keys would still work there, but I backed off because I was a bit scared by how frequently pd…

You can patch Firefox (no rebuild required) to not reserve keys if you'd rather. Discussion here [1] and convenient AUR script here [2]. [1]: https://github.com/glacambre/firefox-p…

there's a somewhat popular repo for Tridactyl Emacs bindings here https://github.com/jumper047/tridactyl_emacs_config

You can almost totally disable Tridactyl on a domain with `:seturl [URL] superignore true` now for what it's worth. `:blacklistadd [URL]` remains a much better option for most peop…

I had no idea, thanks for sharing!

It works sometimes on GitHub, it's just a bit extra as you said. GitHub is what annoyed me enough to make the feature in the first place. It used to work reliably but they made it …

FWIW, the / search isn't part of Tridactyl but we do inject some code that frees up / from most websites so Firefox can use it. It's possible to write your own user script to do it…

> I can't even edit the code that is taking focus and hijacking shortcuts! You can remove the shortcuts pretty easily with a userscript, see lines ~410-440 here for inspiration: ht…

You can let extensions run on Mozilla domains by tweaking some settings in about:config [1]. Mozilla believes that it creates a security risk and that you shouldn't do it. [1]: htt…

> Tridactyl's huge jumps are annoying to me You can change that easily with `:bind j scrollline 1` and `:bind k scrollline 1` :) The default bind was a conscious choice to break wi…

Mozilla said they were happy to do that five years ago if we wrote the API. We started work on it here [1] but lost interest because there have always been more urgent things to do…

Tridactyl does let filter links like that with `:set hintfiltermode vimperator` and `:set hintchars 1234567890`. Vim Vixen unfortunately has been unmaintained since May [1]. If any…

If you're sending untrusted strings to the native messenger, it would be best to escape them with shellescape - https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl/blob/f2479c64761358c6... Othe…

Firefox has link search built-in, just press '

What do you miss about native scrolling? IMO the scrolling in Tridactyl is better than native as it can work even when the page has put focus somewhere daft (like a pop-up).

About five years ago we had agreement in principle with Mozilla to extend the web extension API to accept keypresses from anywhere, provided that someone did the work to write that…

If you have Tridactyl's native messenger installed you can launch an external text editor with Ctrl+I when inside a text box. There is also Firenvim which embeds real neovim instan…

FWIW in Tridactyl we literally just yesterday merged a PR [1] that lets you use an arbitrary layout (QWERTY by default) for Tridactyl binds while keeping your real layout for every…

For what it's worth, manifest V3 could effect Tridactyl as it could block code that is evaluated at runtime from accessing the browser APIs. It will make it less programmable by th…

You might be able to fix the ctrl-f thing in Tridactyl with `:help blacklistkeys`, although I'm not sure it will catch keys with modifiers. Follow https://github.com/tridactyl/trid…

Where would you like to see Tridactyl use more JS? We already have `:js` and `:jsb` along with a few commands that accept JS callbacks :)
