surfingkeys-conf

Surfingkeys is more customizable and has more features. You can use Surfingkeys API with javascript to add more customizations. It's good for adding custom keybindings to certain websites. Look at this config repo to see what's possible with Surfingkeys: https://github.com/b0o/surfingkeys-conf It also supports neovim editing in browser, markdown previewer, pdf previewer with key bindings, etc. Vimium is more robust as they have resisted the temptation to open their apis and allow unlimited customization. It's good for you if you don't have the need to add more customization or if you don't know programming. Surfingkeys require you to know javascript a bit add advanced customization. And, it requires some troubleshooting when your config goes wrong. It's like Vimium for power users.

I want to add a suggestion to the hotkey shortcuts section: I use the Chrome/Firefox addon SurfingKeys [0] with my own configuration [1] in which I’ve added search engine auto-suggestions for just over 50 sites. So, for example, to start searching Google Scholar I type `ags`, or to search GitHub I type `agh`. Check out the screenshots [2] to see what I mean. I’m currently working on cleaning up the code and making installation as simple as pasting a GitHub release URL into the SurfingKeys settings. I hope to have this done within a week or two.

SurfingKeys is my top 5 most useful pieces of software. I’ve heavily customized it to make my web browsing as efficient as possible for my workflow. Check out my configuration to get some ideas of what you can do: https://github.com/b0o/surfingkeys-conf Note that while I currently use Firefox, I haven’t yet added instructions on how to install my config there, which is different to Chrome due to lack of file system access permissions. Long story short, use the `gulp serve` task to start a server on `localhost:9919`, then point the SurfingKeys configurator there.
