It is designed to bring vim keys to the web browser. But it is configurable. And some Emacs keys have always been available in vi too and are therefore available immediately in Chromium with Vimium. Check it out as you might like it. Unfortunately Chrome's architecture means that plugins cannot work outside of "external" pages. Therefore nothing can be perfect as a plugin. But it is better than not having it there. Also I customize my X Window System environment and set: gtk-key-theme-name = "Emacs" With that in my ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file everything that uses GTK widgets will use Emacs key bindings by default. That means C-l to get to the URL location bar and then C-b, C-f, and so forth all work as in Emacs in Firefox, Chrome, other. "The way it should be." :-) Bob
