If `leavegithubalone` is set to false (the default) and a website can steal a `leavegithubalonekeys` key from Firefox (usually /) then that is a Tridactyl bug. Unfortunately it is a Tridactyl bug that I do not know how to fix :)

For Firefox stealing keys from Tridactyl, you can patch Firefox without rebuilding it as this intrepid bunch describe here

You might be interested to learn that Tridactyl and Firenvim use the same library to manage getting and setting text across the various JS editors

FWIW I got some of the way through embedding a PDF viewer in Tridactyl [1] so that the keys would still work there, but I backed off because I was a bit scared by how frequently pdf.js gets updated. In Tridactyl it'd get updated about twice a year so we might end up with unresolved security issues.

Maybe there's a solution I've not thought of (CDN?).

You can patch Firefox (no rebuild required) to not reserve keys if you'd rather. Discussion here [1] and convenient AUR script here [2].

there's a somewhat popular repo for Tridactyl Emacs bindings here https://github.com/jumper047/tridactyl_emacs_config

You can almost totally disable Tridactyl on a domain with `:seturl [URL] superignore true` now for what it's worth.

`:blacklistadd [URL]` remains a much better option for most people for most sites because it lets you easily re-enable Tridactyl temporarily.

Glad you're happy with Vimium :)

I had no idea, thanks for sharing!

It works sometimes on GitHub, it's just a bit extra as you said.

GitHub is what annoyed me enough to make the feature in the first place. It used to work reliably but they made it worse :(

FWIW, the / search isn't part of Tridactyl but we do inject some code that frees up / from most websites so Firefox can use it.

It's possible to write your own user script to do it (you just need to add a keypress event handler that does preventDefault() and maybe stopPropagation()) with no need for Tridactyl :)

> I can't even edit the code that is taking focus and hijacking shortcuts!

You can remove the shortcuts pretty easily with a userscript, see lines ~410-440 here for inspiration: https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl/blob/2eaba7e4ceec6de5...

You can let extensions run on Mozilla domains by tweaking some settings in about:config [1].

Mozilla believes that it creates a security risk and that you shouldn't do it.

> Tridactyl's huge jumps are annoying to me

You can change that easily with `:bind j scrollline 1` and `:bind k scrollline 1` :)

The default bind was a conscious choice to break with tradition with Vimperator because everyone I knew rebound j/k to scroll further.

I'm glad you got VimFx working though!
