## What it is
cVim is a Chrome extension that adds Vim-style keyboard bindings and a command bar to Google Chrome. It supports custom mappings, link hints, caret/visual mode, regex page search, and search/history/bookmark completion.

## Use cases
- browse chrome without using the mouse
- add vim keybindings to google chrome
- click links with keyboard hints
- search page with regex and highlighting
- search history and bookmarks from a command bar
- use custom search engines with completion

## When to avoid
- you use Firefox or a non-Chromium browser
- you prefer a simpler, more minimal extension like Vimium
- you need features the Chrome extensions API does not allow

- maturity: maintenance
- function: browser-extension, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, browser-extensions, web-development
- platform: browser, browser-extension
