Make Link Hints work together with Vim plugins #6

Open lydell opened 4 years ago

lydell commented 4 years ago

Some Vim plugins:

It would be cool if it was possible to:

  1. Trigger Link Hints commands from Vim shortcuts in one of those plugins.
  2. Suspend keyboard processing in the Vim plugin while using hints in Link Hints (so you don’t activate Vim commands while trying to use hints).
  3. Re-enable the Vim plugin when done hinting in Link Hints.

This requires collaboration with the Vim plugins, though. Maybe there’s some other integration possibility as well that I haven’t thought of.

Krabby uses a lot the cross-extension messaging for its functionalities, and also Saka Key to tab search with Saka.

Currently i am using vimium with enough keys ignored to be able to use link hints for links.

lindhe commented 4 years ago

Only Vimium.

I don't think you need to do 2 & 3: if you just provide a way to trigger hinting and tell us when you are done (ideally optionally doing nothing to the page and just returning information about what was selected) we can do the rest - or perhaps you or intrepid users can via PRs to the extensions.

(I suspect there may be no-one who uses both LinkHints and Tridactyl but I'm quite keen for more interop between extensions so it could be a useful exercise).

I'm currently just using Vimium. Could someone please explain how LinkHints differs from Vimium's f functionality?
