I remember trying this a decade ago with uzbl and vimperator. It was okay for a while, but uzbl unfortunately failed to gain momentum, and vimperator was nixxed more and more for various reasons.

The article in the link makes it sound like vimium is the last holdout of the resistance. It would be nice if it were possible to have other options again.

On Firefox, Tridactyl is actively developed and very feature rich. The only minor annoyance I have with it is that it sometimes overrides shortcuts other webapps have defined, which makes it difficult to work with eg. linear.app or RES for reddit. You can blacklist sites from Tridactyl, but then you have to choose between only native shortcuts, which can miss some crucial actions but are otherwise better than tridactyl, or only tridactyl.

I think bindurl and unbindurl would solve most of your complaints: if you just want a few Tridactyl binds use blacklistadd then `:bindurl [URL] --mode=ignore ...`; if you want just a few webapp binds use `:unbindurl [URL] ...`.

There's also Ctrl-v in normal mode that lets you send one key sequence to ignore mode - I use it on YouTube with `Ctrl-v f` to toggle fullscreen. Ctrl-o works similarly but for normal mode from ignore mode.

Hey, awesome to get a reply from you! Thanks for all your work on tridactyl, it's made life a lot easier!

You're welcome, glad you like it!

I managed to get ctrl-o/v the wrong way round when I first posted it, but I've fixed it now : )

On Firefox there's also Surfingkeys. I've been using that for the last year or so. Can't remember the exact reason I switched but it's been working well so far.
