Description : keyboard-based navigation and control (Firefox)
Vimium is a browser extension that provides keyboard-based navigation and
control of the web in the spirit of the Vim editor.
This package provides the Firefox version of the addon.
- Why is this package useful/relevant?
This extension allows one to use the Firefox web browser with Vim like
navigation without the need of a mouse, which can be very comfortable for those
used to Vim.
- Is it a dependency for another package?
No.
- Do you use it?
Yes. I love it. And it is actually one of the few packages I miss in Debian.
- If there are other packages providing similar functionality, how does it
compare?
There are no other packages in debian which enhance the Firefox web browser
with Vim like navigation.
- How do you plan to maintain it? Inside a packaging team?
I'd love to maintain it with the help of the the DebianWebextensionTeam
(Mozilla WebExtension Packaging Team).
- Are you looking for co-maintainers?
No. But I don't mind it. Whatever fits the mozext-team best.
- Do you need a sponsor?
Yes.
