Surfingkeys is a browser extension for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari that provides Vim-style keyboard navigation and control of the web. All settings are defined in JavaScript, letting users map any keystroke to custom functions to expand their browser.

Use cases

• navigate the web with vim keyboard shortcuts
• map custom hotkeys to javascript functions in the browser
• control chrome tabs and links without a mouse
• add an omnibar and commands to my browser
• use vim-style marks and smooth scrolling while browsing
• customize keyboard shortcuts in firefox and safari

When to choose

• you want vim-like keyboard-driven browsing across multiple browsers
• you need programmable, JavaScript-configurable key mappings
• you want an actively maintained extension with broad browser support

When to avoid

• you prefer mouse-driven browsing or minimal setup
• you need features like PDF viewing or proxy on Firefox or Safari
• you want a GUI-based configuration instead of writing JavaScript
