Vim after 15 Years

Switched to i3 a few weeks back and I absolutely love it. Switching between applications and workspaces is incredibly fast, and the _only_ time I need the mouse is for web browsing. It's amazing.

Use qutebrowser, and you'll never need the mouse again!

Firefox? Check out something like VimFX. No need for the mouse on 80% of the webpages.

Unfortunately, it'll also be obsolete in a few weeks when Firefox 57 comes. I've switched to Saka Key, but it's not yet a viable replacement (esp. because clipboard interactions are broken in FF 56 on my Linux systems).

Unfortunately it appears all of the most popular (and feature-complete) Vim-style plugins for Firefox are dying with the upcoming Firefox update dropping support for XPCOM/XUL plugins.

On Chrom(e|ium), SurfingKeys[1] is an excellent extension.

Also, for chrome there's the vimium plugin.
