Pretty awesome! My default browser is Chrome and I have Vimium installed - and its a really good to be able to press 'O' on a HN link and continue on Chrome with the same navigation (j, k, ..) Based on the way I read HN, some customization that I would definitely want to do are: 1. Headline navigation (mapped to 'j') - move cursor to the next headline instead of the next line 2. / O opens the link in browser instead…

Would also add to the wishlist:

* when you click `u` to go back, it should keep the cursor on the item you were focusing on, so you continue where you left off

I dig your vim theme, can we get some info on that?

You can checkout my vim configuration here: https://github.com/ryanss/vim It's just a single, well-commented .vimrc file a little over 100 lines long. The main plugins that add to the visual appearance are the jellybean colorscheme and the fancy status line comes from vim-airline.

thanks for turning me on to jellybean, what a great scheme. awesome plugin btw!

Super cool stuff! I also agree with few others here. Adding comments support would be so awesome.

Is that possible via HN API? or it has to do HTTP requests in CLI?

The author of the plugin mentions in this thread above, it has to be done via sending POST requests directly to the HN endpoints, and also mentions if this gains enough demand, he might implement it.

I am trying to vote up for the comment support.
