## What it is
Vim Vixen is a Firefox WebExtension add-on that lets users navigate and control the browser with Vim-style keyboard shortcuts and a command console. It is no longer maintained; the successor project is Vimmatic.

## Use cases
- scroll web pages with j/k/h/l vim keys
- open and switch tabs using keyboard shortcuts
- follow links with keyboard hints like vimium
- run browser commands from a vim-style command line
- search the web from the browser command console

## When to choose
- you want Vim-style keyboard navigation in Firefox
- you prefer a WebExtensions-based alternative to legacy Vimperator
- you are okay with an unmaintained add-on on older Firefox versions

## When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained extension on current Firefox releases
- you want the successor project - use Vimmatic instead
- you use a browser other than Firefox

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: abandoned
- function: browser-extension, developer-tools
- domain: browser-extensions, developer-tools, web-development
- platform: browser, browser-extension
- tags: firefox, vim, webextension, keyboard-navigation, vim-keybindings
