(I'm one of the authors) Love seeing this on HN today! It seems to get some front page attention every couple of years. Thank you everyone for the encouragement!

Related: last week I published a very similar extension, but for Google Sheets. https://github.com/philc/sheetkeys

Hey, just wanted to say thanks for your work on Vimium. I have a lot of RSI issues from using a mouse and Vimium has been incredibly helpful in mitigating those.

I think it's fair to say that between Vimium and a windows manager on OSX I've cut my mouse actions by 90%.

Your work has had a profoundly positive impact on my life and I'm very grateful.

I'm in a similar boat with RSI; Vimium is a huge help to me. What do you use for a windows manager?

I use Divvy as it was the only one I found that had the ability to scale up to larger number grids. https://mizage.com/windivvy/

You can see the rest of my ergonomic aids here: https://twitter.com/mbuckbee/status/1463598464252665866

- Kinesis Freestyle split keyboard tented and then tented even more with slanted yoga blocks

- 4K monitor/tv to show multiple screens to reduce alt-tabbing

- Magic trackpad mounted on a cellphone stand on the left of my keyboard (I'm right handed). This lets me use my non-dominant hand and requires less arm movement.

Amazing, thank you for sharing!

Thank you for your excellent work! I have some RSI issues and try not to use the mouse as much as possible. Vimium helps me avoid wear and tear every single day. I love it and install it immediately on any new Chrome instance.

(I am about to use it to press the "reply" button to submit this comment. It's fantastic.)

This is cool!

Do you have any plans for a Google Docs extension as well? Or do you mostly get by with Vimium there?
