Several Vimium commands do not work when page has JavaScript disabled

alon-to commented 5 years ago

I have disabled JavaScript for many sites (using the excellent Quick Javascript Switcher extension). I'm finding that several Vimium commands do not work on pages with JavaScript disabled. This includes:

activateModeToCopyLinkUrl ("Copy a link URL to the clipboard") brings up hints, but selected hints are not copied to the clipboard
showHelp
Vomnibar.activateEditUrl and seemingly every other shortcut under 'Using the vomnibar'

I can add more as I come across them. Below is screenshot showing the setting for sites where Javascript is disalbed by the extension. Thanks!

I can confirm this behavior is still present with the following configurations:

Vimium 1.67
Chrome OS 92.0.4515.162

I suspect this is working as intended and that Javascript is required for certain Vimium commands but thought to ping the bug just in case!

Confirmed on Chrome 92 on Windows 10. Seems a bug of Vimium's document state listener - maybe it's not called so Vimium always "waits for document being ready" before loading Vomnibar / the help dialog.

You may try my "Vimium C" (https://github.com/gdh1995/vimium-c), a customized version of Vimium, which adds quite a few commands and command parameters and supports many rare use cases.
