Tridactyl is a Firefox WebExtension that replaces the browser's default control mechanism with a Vim-like keyboard-driven interface, inspired by Vimperator/Pentadactyl. It provides normal/insert/command modes, an ex-command line, hint mode, and optional native messaging for extra features.
Use cases
- browse Firefox entirely with vim keybindings
- navigate and control the browser without a mouse
- use an ex command line inside Firefox
- open links via keyboard hints
- replace Vimperator/Pentadactyl after their deprecation
When to choose
- you use Firefox and prefer modal, vim-style browsing
- you want heavy keyboard-driven navigation and hinting
- you want a configurable ex-command line and keybinds
When to avoid
- you use Chrome or another non-Firefox browser
- you rely on mouse-driven browsing or need full WebExtension API access
- you need a solution that works on restricted Mozilla domains without config tweaks
