Request for a Vim - like Built - in Operation Function
-
Hey everyone! I'm a big fan of the Vim editing style, and I've been using https://github.com/gdh1995/vimium-c for a while. It provides a Vim - like operation experience in the browser, which is extremely convenient and geeky!
I'm wondering if there's any browser that has a built - in operation function similar to Vimium - C. You know, being able to use keyboard - only commands to navigate web pages, open links, switch tabs, etc. is not only efficient but also gives that cool, hacker - like feel.
If there isn't such a browser yet, I really hope some developers out there might consider implementing this feature. It would be a game - changer for those of us who love the Vim way of doing things.
Has anyone come across a browser with this kind of functionality? Or any developers interested in taking on this project? Looking forward to your replies! -

Vivaldi has Spatial Navigation, which allows for keyboard selection of links.

But it's kind of wonky and doesn't always work.I also use an extension that I have adapted from an older unmaintained one, this also allows for following links with labels. As well as (slightly) better spatial navigation than Vivaldi's built-in. Single-letter link hints is IMO far better than having to use two letters, as most links can be found on the first press in most cases.

The only browser like that I know of is qutebrowser.

@Pathduck https://github.com/gdh1995/vimium-c is quite user-friendly. However, it can only switch to the next page when the current page has been fully loaded, which is not very convenient.
