Google docs support

[ayroblu]

Hey, I saw this: philc/vimium#3367
Tried it on google docs, but I can't just press esc and use vimium keys. I also don't think I can use setup commands like "cmd+alt+t" or similar to trigger the vomnibar for example.
Am I doing something wrong?

PS: I'm not sure what other feature differences there are between the original vimium and this one for non Chinese users?

Vimium C has changed very much logic, so I'm not sure what's wrong in your case. I'll test Google Docs again with Vimium in days.

[gdh1995]

Have you tried long-pressing Esc from the Google Docs' mode of inputting text?

[gdh1995]

I can't just press esc and use vimium keys

Try this: press and hold on Escape for a while, until you see a yellow border on the whole page (top frame), and then normal **key mappings in Vimium C ** will be usable.

Holding on Escape will trigger a function whose logic is somehow like the command parentFrame, and when it succeeds, the cursor will lose focus and the top frame will get the focus, so Vimium C enters its Normal Mode, from a plain Insert Mode.

cmd+alt+t

Well, there's a bug when triggering Vomnibar through global shortcuts on Google Docs. I'll fix it in the next weeks.

Ahh yes I get the yellow frame flash which works thanks!

Just as an example:

map <c-s-l> LinkHints.activateMode

on a normal site, it shows the hints, but on g docs, it doesn't do anything as gdocs doesn't have this shortcut, but it swallows it (I'm using a mac so it's ctrl-shift-l, I realised my example wasn't good because it wasn't the keys I use specifically)
I was wondering if maybe I'm specifically doing it wrong, i.e. there is a different way or using cmd or something

[gdh1995]

On Google Docs, when you can see the caret or text selection area, then Vimium C is usually in its Insert Mode. Vimium C enters this mode whenever a text box is focused.

In this mode, Vimium C ignores most keys, except these:

• global shortcuts configured on chrome://extensions/shortcuts
• those keys composed with F1~F12, like <f7>, <c-f8> and <a-s-f2>
• those keys including the ":i" tag, like <c-v:i>

I can confirm that both of these don't work for me on gdocs, but do work on normal inputs

map <c-t:i> Vomnibar.activateTabSelection
# with the correct mapping in chrome://extensions/shortcuts
shortcut userCustomized1 command="Vomnibar.activateTabSelection"

[gdh1995]

Yes, there's a bug make Vomnibar fail in such a situation, but some other commands like switching tabs work.

All affected are LinkHints.activate*, Vomnibar.activate* and scroll*.

Commit ad87e66 should fix this bug. And please test this zip file: vimium_c-1.85.0-chrome-a8b205a-mod.zip

Cool thanks. Is there anything I need to do when you update the store? Do I need to uninstall the extension and reinstall it to go back to the official one?

[gdh1995]

yes you'll need to reinstall the store version
