Scrolling

[duff]

I'm curious if allowing scrolling using vim like keystrokes (j for down, k for up, maybe d for page up, and u for page up) is something that you think would be worthwhile.

I agree. This functionality is available in vimium, but has not yet been fully ported to vimari. Porting these features across should be fairly easy. The reason they were overlooked in the first place was because I was concentrating on the 'quick link' features.

If anyone wishes to work on this feel free, otherwise I will have a look at it next week.

Sounds great! I'll let you know if I go after it.

At first, I was unsure of having to use the ctrl key. But it does seem to make things simpler in that it appears to work regardless of whether you're in insert mode or normal mode. And one of the great things about having it in GH is that I can adjust it to a different modifier in my fork if I'd like.

Cool, feel free to fork it and have a dig around. The port is pretty rustic at the moment but would be good to see some more work on it.

@duff I am going to be putting some work into porting some missing features from the chrome version (vimium) into this project. Some tickets will be created over the next few days but I would also like to be able to include the work you have done on getting scrolling to work. If this is ok with you could you please open a pull request.

Thanks

The scrolling work I did was in this commit:

I don't know that you'd want the entire commit though since I customized some other things as well. Feel free to grab any of the parts there that you think would be useful.

Closing this issue as scrolling is now supported. See issue #6
