Firefox

I use Firefox as my default browser.

You can see my configuration in NixOS here. Having it in Nix is handy so I don’t have to sign into a Firefox account on a live ISO or new machine install in order to get the environment I’m used to.

§Tridactyl

I use Tridactyl for many useful Vim-like bindings in Firefox. Similar to Firefox you can see my configuration here.

Some useful bindings are:

• h j k l scroll

• f enter ‘hint’ mode, using keystrokes to follow a link

• F opens a link in a new tab

• ;w open in a new window

• ;y copy link

• v highlights an element of text

  • once here we can use caret mode <F7> to select text

• yd duplicate tab

• My custom binding i let’s me copy a link to a URL fragment with hint mode;

  bind i hint -JFc [id] e => { tri.excmds.yank(document.URL.replace(/#.*$/, "") + "#" + e.id) }
  

• gd / gD detach / reattach tab

• b for tabs list

  • :set tabsort mru for most recent

• i_CTRL-i let’s us edit an input box in our system $EDITOR
