Feature Request: Normal and Visual mode in vomnibar

Open kiuKisas opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

Hey, first of all, thank's for this plugin ! It's really pleasant to have a vim-like experience in the browser :) I was thinking if it can be consider to add other mode in the vomnibar, normal mode like at least and visual mode like can be a cool addition.

The most obvious use-case is when editing the current URL, if we can replace some part of the URL quickly it cool be great.

As I saw it, vomnibar will open in Insert mode by default, then hiting Esc will switch to normal mode. A second Esc hit will quit vomnibar. As this behavior will not match all usage, I think it should also be an option that we can enable/disable in the vimium options/

~~Vomnibar should have exited and disappeared on the first Esc. Maybe there was something wrong with your Vimium, if it did enter normal mode in Vomnibar iframe.~~

No no, it's a feature request and I described the behaviour I would like if vnibar had normal/visual mode. I apologize if it was not clear

I would like add a vote for something like this. In a perfect world it would work identically to the bash setting 'set -o vi' which enables vim-style command line history searching and editing.
