vimperator-like mode

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'd like to see a vimperator-style mode in arora, it would be extremely useful 
for 
me as I like to stay away from the mouse :)

More info:

thanks

Can you be more specific about the exact feature you are looking for that 
vimperator
provides?

The main feature I have seen that people want is a way to click links without 
using
the mouse which I added, but requires Qt 4.6

One of the features I'd like is indeed the keyboard link "clicking", thanks for 
that.

Vimperator emulates the command mode of vim. You can press ":" and type various
comamnds, such as "open [URL||SEARCHSTRING]", or "tabopen [URL]". You can also 
press
"tab" while writing a url (or some text) and it tries to autocomplete (the same 
way
the awesomebar does).

There are also shortcuts for those commands, so pressing "t" switches 
vimperator to
command mode and auto-types the "tabopen" command. You can also press "d" to
delete/close a tab, "u" to undo a tab close, "gT" to go to the next tab, 
ctrl-o/i for
back-forward, etc.

Essentially what it does is make the mouse optional for most actions :)
