Vim Style Navigation (with Settings + Enhanced)

Vim-style scrolling + hint(f/F), find(/ n/N), history(H/L), page ops(r t x*), misc(yy p o ?). UserScript-safe fallbacks.

A Tampermonkey userscript that brings Vim-style navigation to the web:

* x can only close tabs that were opened by scripts (browser restriction).

✨ Features

f — open hinted link in current tab
F — open hinted link in new tab (uses GM_openInTab → window.open fallback)

H — back, L — forward
r — reload, t — new tab, x — close tab*
J/K tab switching is not available in UserScript due to browser permissions.

Smart input detection: Hotkeys are disabled inside INPUT / TEXTAREA / SELECT / contentEditable / designMode=on.

Open Tampermonkey → this script → Menu Commands to adjust:

Base Step (baseStep, default 100)
Extra Page (extraPage, default 300)
gg Interval (ggIntervalMs, default 600 ms)
Native Smooth Scroll (useNativeSmooth, on/off)
Ignore Modifier Keys (ignoreWithModifier, on/off)
Exclude Sites: add/remove URL prefixes or regex (e.g. /.*\.notion\.site\//)
Hint Chars (hintChars), Hint Max Letters (hintMaxLetters)
Reset Defaults

Uses GM_openInTab, GM_setClipboard, GM_getValue/GM_setValue, GM_registerMenuCommand.
Clipboard read may require HTTPS and user permission; script falls back to prompt when needed.
Some sites use custom scroll containers; extreme layouts may reduce hint accuracy.
Recommended to exclude heavy editors: Google Docs, Notion, Figma, Gmail, etc.
UserScript cannot switch browser tabs programmatically (security limitation).

Keys don’t work: Check if focus is inside an input/editor; confirm the site isn’t in the exclude list.
x doesn’t close: Browsers only allow scripts to close tabs that they opened.
Clipboard issues: Grant permission or use the prompt fallback.
Conflicts: If a site uses the same keys, enable “Ignore Modifier Keys” or add the site to Exclude.
