Vimperator 3.7

Vimperator is a free browser add-on for Firefox, which makes it look and behave like the Vim text editor.

Vimperator provides similar key bindings, and you could call it a modal web browser, as key bindings differ according to which mode you are in.

To provide the most authentic Vim experience, the Firefox menubar and toolbar were hidden.

If you really need them, type: :set guioptions=mT to get them back. If you don't like Vimperator at all, you can uninstall it by typing :addons and remove/disable it.

The Vimperator addon is cross-platform and It works on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux.

Here are some key features of "Vimperator":

· Vim-like keybindings (h, j, k, l, gg, G, 0, $, ZZ, , etc.)
· Ex commands (:quit, :open www.foo.com, ...)
· Tab completion available for all commands with support for 'longest' matching when set in 'wildmode'
· Extensions! Yes, you can extend Vimperator's functionality with scripts just like you can extend Firefox with extensions.
