End of Life and Alternatives

Vimperator will stop working in up-to-date copies of Firefox with the release of Firefox 57 on November 14th due to a large breaking change in how extensions and add-ons are written (#705).

It's not all doom and gloom, though! Here are your options (#729):

  • Stay with vimperator, but use an older release of Firefox or a Firefox fork

    • The Extended Service Release (ESR) of Firefox is still on Firefox 52 and will be vimperator compatible until May 2018.
    • Waterfox is a firefox fork that merges security patches and intends to maintain compatibility with XPCOM/XUL plugins like vimperator. Note that Firefox is due to undergo rapid internal change and that waterfox will be more and more on their own as time goes on.

  • Use an add-on compatible with the new webextension API

  • Use a less fully-featured add-on compatible with the new WebExtension API

    • These add-ons provide great, configurable, vim-like shortcuts and hints mode
    • By design they do not offer insert or command mode, custom commands, autocmds, vim-style maps and so on
    • Vimium - "The Hacker's Browser. Vimium provides keyboard shortcuts for navigation and control in the spirit of Vim."
    • Saka-key - "Put away your mouse. Saka Key lets you control your browser with keyboard shortcuts."
    • Vim Vixen - "An add-on which allows you to navigate with vim-like bindings."

  • Surrender your other add-ons and use a browser with built-in vim bindings

    • Tabbed

      • Qutebrowser - "A keyboard-driven, vim-like browser based on PyQt5 and Qt."
      • Luakit - "A fast, simple to use micro-browser framework extensible by Lua using the WebKit engine and the GTK+ toolkit."

    • Not tabbed (Use a tabbed window manager or something that supports XEmbed)

      • vimb - "A fast and lightweight vim-like web browser based on the webkit engine and the GTK toolkit."
      • surf - "A simple web browser based on WebKit2/GTK+."
      • uzbl - "A web browser that adheres to the unix philosophy."

Muttator is not affected by these changes.

Description

See also Home page.

Writing efficient user interfaces is the main maxim, here at Vimperator labs.
We often follow the Vim way of doing things, but extend its principles when

  1. Towards this end, we've created the liberator library for Mozilla based

applications, to encapsulate as many of these generic principles as possible,
and liberate developers from the tedium of reinventing the wheel.

Currently, these applications are using this library:

Vimperator

Vimperator, the flagship project from Vimperator labs, creates a Vim-like
Firefox.

Vimperator is a Firefox browser extension with strong inspiration from the Vim
text editor, with a mind towards faster and more efficient browsing. It has
similar key bindings and you could call it a modal web browser, as key bindings
differ according to which mode you are in. For example, it has a special Hint
mode, where you can follow links easily with the keyboard only. Also most
functionality is available as commands, typing :back will go back within the
current page history, just like hitting the back button in the toolbar.

Muttator

Muttator is to Thunderbird what Vimperator is to Firefox. Combines the best
aspects of Vim and Mutt.

Muttator is a free add-on for the Thunderbird mail client, which makes it look
and behave like the Vim text editor. It has similar key bindings and you could
call it a modal mail client, as key bindings differ according to which mode you
are in. For example, it the same keys can select the next message while the
message list has focus or can scroll down an existing message when the message
preview is selected. It also adds commands for accessing most Thunderbird

  1. E.g., :contact -lastname "Vimperator" vimperator@mozdev.org
  2. add Vimperator's mailing list to your address book.

Installation (Vimperator)

Note that Vimperator doesn't support multi-process aka
Electrolysis (e10s), it's necessary to disable e10s to use the
add-on.

  • Download signed add-on from addons.mozilla.org (AMO) 1

    1. Enter Add-ons page.
    2. Click Continue to Download button.
    3. Click Add to Firefox button.

  • Download unsigned 2 add-on from github.com (Github)

    1. Enter Releases page.
    2. Click vimperator-3.N.N.xpi link under Downloads topic.
  • Build own version (and signing)
    See Build own version topic.

1 If the version on AMO is older than the [latest
release][github_release], you can build your own version and use it until AMO
release is updated.

2 Since version 48, installing add-on to Firefox has required

  1. Unsigned add-on is for Unbranded Builds. See [mozilla
    wiki][wiki_signing].

Build own version

Unsigned (for Unbranded Builds)

See http://www.vimperator.org/developer_info.

Signed (for Firefox 48+)

Instructions for building this can be found in
vimperator/private.properties.in. See also MDN document
(developer.mozilla.org) for details about signing and distribution.

There are necessary four steps to use own version.

  1. Prepare "AMO API key" and "jpm" if first time
  2. Build unsigned add-on
  3. Submit unsigned add-on to AMO
  4. Install signed add-on to Firefox
  5. Addition: Use Command-line interface (CLI) to build and submit

Prepare AMO API key and jpm

  • AMO API key (require Firefox Account)

  • jpm (require node.js):

    npm install -g jpm

Build unsigned add-on

Clone repository and create private.properties:

git clone https://github.com/vimperator/vimperator-labs.git
cd vimperator-labs/vimperator
cp private.properties.in private.properties

Then edit private.properties so that it looks something like:

VERSION       := $(VERSION).$(shell date '+%Y%m%d%H%M%S')
UUID           = vimperator@<uniqueid> # e.g. vimperator@<yourdomain>
AMO_API_KEY    = <your API key> # AKA "Issuer"
AMO_API_SECRET = <your API secret>
UPDATE_URL     =
UPDATE_URL_XPI =

Then run:

make xpi

The unsigned XPI should appear in
../downloads/vimperator-3.N.N.yyyymmddhhmmss.xpi.

Submit unsigned add-on to AMO

Have you ever submitted own version to AMO?How to submit
No, I'd like to register own version. Enter <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/developers/addon/submit/distribution"> How to Distribute this Version, upload the XPI selecting On your own button.
Yes, I'd like to update own version. Enter Manage My Submissions, upload the XPI from your Vimperator's New Version link.

Then the validation starts. Finally, automatically validation XPI finishes,
click Sign add-on button to sign.

Install signed add-on to Firefox

Install it via the link in your AMO developer account (find your Vimperator's
Manage Status & Versions). The new UUID makes it a new add-on, so don't
forget to disable the old version.

Use CLI to build and submit

After once you signed the add-on, you are able to update the add-on using CLI.

cd vimperator-labs/vimperator
make sign
