For me the friction always comes when I try to use the internet without it

If `leavegithubalone` is set to false (the default) and a website can steal a `leavegithubalonekeys` key from Firefox (usually /) then that is a Tridactyl bug. Unfortunately it is a Tridactyl bug that I do not know how to fix :)

For Firefox stealing keys from Tridactyl, you can patch Firefox without rebuilding it as this intrepid bunch describe here

Maybe there's a solution I've not thought of (CDN?).

`:blacklistadd [URL]` remains a much better option for most people for most sites because it lets you easily re-enable Tridactyl temporarily.

Glad you're happy with Vimium :)

GitHub is what annoyed me enough to make the feature in the first place. It used to work reliably but they made it worse :(

It's possible to write your own user script to do it (you just need to add a keypress event handler that does preventDefault() and maybe stopPropagation()) with no need for Tridactyl :)

You can remove the shortcuts pretty easily with a userscript, see lines ~410-440 here for inspiration: https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl/blob/2eaba7e4ceec6de5...

Mozilla believes that it creates a security risk and that you shouldn't do it.

You can change that easily with `:bind j scrollline 1` and `:bind k scrollline 1` :)

The default bind was a conscious choice to break with tradition with Vimperator because everyone I knew rebound j/k to scroll further.

I'm glad you got VimFx working though!

I think honestly most of the work in getting such an API merged would be political since most of the people who approved it are no longer at Mozilla.

If anyone wants to pick it up I would be delighted to help.

Vim Vixen unfortunately has been unmaintained since May [1]. If anyone knows ueokande personally, could they let him know that I would be happy to help get some releases out? I sent an email yesterday but I am not optimistic as it seems like quite a few people have tried over the last few months.

Otherwise a malicious website targeting Tridactyl users who use the native messenger could gain shell access when you triggered your command on them.

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).

We started it [1] but lost interest because we think Tridactyl works mostly fine without it (press ctrl+, anywhere to get back to Tridactyl) and I have always found more urgent things to improve.

I'd be happy to help anyone who wanted to pick it up, but a lot of the political work of persuading Mozilla that such an API would be useful would need to be restarted since most of the people we persuaded in the past have now left Mozilla.

There is also Firenvim which embeds real neovim instances inside text boxes.
