KeySnail

KeySnail doesn't support Firefox57+

Since Firefox 57 dropped several important features required by KeySnail (or Vimperator), there is no chance to migrate KeySnail to Firefox 57+ for now.

The most important feature, which has been unfortunately dropped in Firefox 57+, is API for overriding browser-level shortcut keys. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1215061 for details. Since current API only allows content-level shortcut keys, KeySnail doesn't work in most of the places including location bars, search field, and so forth.

If you want to keep using KeySnail, I recommend using Waterfox https://www.waterfoxproject.org/ instead of Firefox. Several KeySnail users have already reported that they are enjoying Waterfox.

Another option is to switch to other add-ons that still work in Firefox 57+. I tried several add-ons and personally recommend Vimium-ff https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/vimium-ff/

Thanks for using KeySnail! Without your encouraging reactions, I couldn't enjoy such a long-time lasting development.
