[Request] Add support for vim keyboard-based navigation #62

Open Ynjxsjmh opened 4 years ago

Ynjxsjmh commented 4 years ago

I use Vimium, a browser extension that provides keyboard-based navigation, in my browser. However, when the current page is opened in the "Reader View" mode, Vimium is disabled at the same time. Could you please consider support that feature in the future?

ps. Vimium wouldn't be disabled in simple mode, but I notice there is a 'not recommended' comment no that switch.

+1 - or permit Vimium to control reader view extension pages.

You can already do this if you use simple mode from the extension settings. Even though it says it's not recommended it works very well with vimium and any other chrome extensions that you have

Simple mode (do not redirect to the reader view, instead update the current document) (not recommended)

rNeomy commented 4 years ago

Vimium does not provide APIs to be used by other extensions as far as I can tell. So integration is not doable at this stage.

Simple mode is not recommended for two reasons:

  1. It uses the old DOM so still the page can run its JS code
  2. You don't have access to the tools offered in the normal mode.
