Sounds like your said Alt+I
was treated as a simple I
key (an i
character) by Vimium C.
You may try unmap i
to disable the default shortcut of entering a global insert mode.
Please test what a webpage can receive when you press this shortcut on https://gdh1995.cn/vimium-c/keyboard-test.html , and a snapshot may help a lot.

Yes. Alt+i
for Vimium is the same as just i
. This breaks ability to map shortcuts that interfere any button that Vimium has binding on. (Alt+v
triggers visual mode, etc)

I know that I can unmap i
but I want to use default insert mode shortcut. I want Vimium to ignore shortcuts when I am holding Alt
, because there is no shortcut like Alt+I
.

I will record screen later and will output all my keyboard presses so you could clearly see what is happening.
Hello, sorry for this late response, but I think I've found the root cause.
Do you have enabled the privacy.resistFingerprinting
flag on about:config
? The flag is designed by Firefox to protect your privacy, while it will also hide the status of Alt
key - then it prevents Vimium C from telling <a-i>
from i
.
There seems no way for a web-extension to bypass it. I'm not sure how "sidebery" did it.
Hm... Yes, I do have. I'll try to investigate into it later. For now I just disabled all vimium features except links navigation.
Hi :) Thank you for this awesome plugin. But I have an issue with conflicting shortcut from other extension. So first of all I am using colemak layout if it does matter.
Problem
Alt+I
shortcut in order to navigate through tabs in sidebery extension.Alt+I
Vimium intercepts shortcut and behaves like I pressedI
- goes into insert mode.Alt+I
once again, but in insert mode already, sidebery works as expected and Vimium passes through this shortcut.Note about colemak: physically I am pressing
L
button.What I have tried
unmap
doesn't work as nothing actually mapped onalt-i
Browser and OS
I would really like to hear from you @gdh1995 as I think this is a bug. Why Vimium doesn't ignore
Alt+I
when it doesn't have such key mapping?
