Linux touchpad like a Macbook: goal worth pursuing?

Have you tried Vimium[0]?

It brings vim-like shortcuts to your browser. Despite what the Readme says, I find it perfectly usable on Firefox.

Thanks I will try that out though my Emacs-hands may get confused.

I think maybe this is the problem I would pay $100,000 to solve / improve?

If you switch to Tridactyl [1], our buggier, less popular, and less user friendly competitor to Vimium, you can pass hints CSS selectors.

E.g, `hint -c a+a+a` only highlights comments on the HN homepage (and every third link in a row on other pages). I have it bound with `bind ;c hint -c [class*="expand"],[class="togg"],a+a+a` which also lets me toggle comments on HN and reddit.

Cool! Before FF 57 I used Vimperator, so I might give Tridactyl a try.

Switch to using numbers for the quick links and you can type the text of the link to narrow down the search for the quick link.

And I also just realised how link filtering works by typing the first letter to only see some. So that is pretty swift also. Thanks for this.

Absolutely! I wonder why this isn't the default...
