#42Earlier quoted context omitted.
Great work! I am just trying it out, but realized it doesn't highlight links/buttons in Firefox. Is that outside the scope of this tool? If so, do you just suggest using Vimac in combination with Vimium?
It actually technically could support Firefox/chrome, but I have disabled it because enabling accessibility on chrome breaks window managers. Also vimium will always be faster than vimac due to how slow the accessibility API is. I would recommend using both for now.

#43Really want a way to have vi-mode input in all text inputs throughout the OS, hopefully that is a future possibility
You may know this already but emacs keys are supported in all text input areas on Mac. Carl-a (start of text), Carl-e (end of text) Carl-k (cut Text to end of line) Carl-y (yank/paste cut text) and many more.
some other useful ones are C-h/C-d (backwords/forwards delete), C-o (insert line), and the main Emacs movement keys C-n, C-p, C-b, C-f. Remapping Capslock to be a second Control makes using these regularly much more natural. Karabiner is a good app for easily remapping keys on macOS.

In the fallback mode, not all motions are available, because we can't read cursor position or text field value without accessibility support.
