Vimium is a browser extension that brings Vim-style keyboard control to everyday web browsing. It lets users scroll, open links, move through history, manage tabs, search pages, and navigate bookmarks without relying on the mouse. The project is aimed at power users who want faster, more keyboard-centered interaction with Chrome, Edge, or Firefox. It includes a large set of default shortcuts inspired by the Vim editor, while still allowing users to remap or remove commands through custom key mappings. Vimium also supports link hints, tab search, marks, visual mode, URL editing, page source viewing, and repeated commands. It is especially useful for developers, writers, researchers, and anyone who spends long hours moving through browser-based workflows.
