Splendid, thanks a lot!

I would seriously pay for a universal plugin that lets me browse everything with j/k.


Check out vimperator/vimium.


Can you please cancel the H button? I don't see how it's necessary.


Hey cool-RR, I don't believe I added a hotkey for the H button? What is it doing?


Not a hotkey, the button near the omnibar.


I'd be interested in the source so I could mess around with it but can't seem to find a link to it

Are you (DTrejo) planning on putting a source up?


Hey wwortiz, if you'd like to browse the source right away, you can do this: be on HN, right click > inspect element > scripts > chrome-extension://gobbledygook/hnkeys.js

I was thinking about putting it on github, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.


Cool, github would be great too, since I've never messed with chrome extensions I was more interested in how everything works together.


I've just posted the source: http://github.com/DTrejo/HN-Hotkeys


This is great, one thing I could use would be keys to move between different top-level replies on a comment page. Maybe p/n for prev/next ?

I've also found a bug, if I go to "threads" I can't move up past the third topmost top-level comment I've posted using the "k" key.


Great extension.

I really agree jumping between top level comments. Having to go through a whole branch of replies is a little frustrating.


I would like to see possibility to open the link not just comments.


Great, thanks.


Alternatively, you can use http://vimium.github.com/ which is Vimperator for Chromium.


vimium is pretty awesome for most websites. I have three exceptions which I would hope that at least one would become default exceptions.

http"star"://wave.google.com/"star"

http"star"://mail.google.com/"star"

http"star"://www.feedly.com/"star"

the problem with wave (and potentially other faux textareas) is that when editing, vimium doesn't automatically go into insert mode, so when i first tried to type in wave, i reloaded the page and opened 1 previously closed tab and 1 new tab.


Does it highlight the current message?
