How did I not know about vimperator [vimperator.mozdev.org] before? VIM keybindings and VIM-ish interface for freakin firefox!! No more <C-d> to go down a page and getting the stupid Add Bookmark dialog. I've only used it for a few minutes now and oh yes, this is sweet. Off to the documentation...

Going with the latest version also pushed me into moving to firefox 3 (which I've been meaning to do for a couple weeks now).

Holy crap. I've been using this thing for a very short time now, and I have to say it is AWESOME. Easy navigation, save session and close with two keystrokes, single keystroke "open url in new tab" or just "open url", just a few keystrokes to "click" on a link or open in a new tab (reminiscent of hitting ctrl in konqueror/kmail)...I think I'm in love.

Also, I just went and got the It's All Text plugin. I'm editing this very post in vim. Right now. And I will :wq to send it back to the textarea on my site. This has been a good night.

Oh, and did I mention the inline javascript and inline shell commands?! No? Yeah, this is so great.

Not to mention, go into a textarea and hit ctrl+i, and it goes ahead and fires up gvim for you. I didn't find that at first and installed the "It's All Text" addon, but that was totally unnecessary.

Still loving it.
