[Question] Open Vomnibar without showing browse history

[idr4n]

Hi there,

Is there a way or mode to activate the Vomnibar without showing the browse history list? That is if I press o, I just want the the simple Vomnibar input box to appear and not the history (the list will populate only once I start typing).

Um, no, there' not. Why do you want this? By default, it lists closed tabs when query is empty, and this is the only way to list closed tabs .

Not for a particular reason actually, just being picky here, and that's why I'm not really requesting this as I understand probably most users including yourself, prefer the current UI. I am probably used to the look of traditional Vimium and Surfingkeys. I just prefer a minimalistic look when I open the Vomnibar and get results only when I start typing. That's all. But don't worry about it.

I've been using your extension for the last couple of days testing your new LinkHints.activateModeToSelect command, and I'm really enjoying it and everything seems to be working quite find.

Thanks again for this and feel free to close this anytime as it was just a question.

Hello, here's a version supporting a special trick for this issue: vimium_c-1.85.2-chrome-7da3617.zip.

Usage: add such CSS text to "Custom CSS for Vimium C UI":

/*#omni*/
.no-query#list { height: 0 !important }

Then when query is empty, the list's height is always 0 pixels, so that you won't see it ^_^

Excellent! I just tried it out, and it is just what I wanted. Thanks a lot for this!

I'm closing this issue then. Take care my friend!
