To be perfectly clear, what I had figured out was how to get Vimium working with Chromium v5.x, back when that was the only version of chromium in FreeBSD ports. The problem was that Vimium used an extension writing feature that did not exist until 6.x, so it would not install properly on 5.x. The chromium version in ports was eventually updated to 6.x obviating the need for my fix -- but then things sorta stagnated, and we ended up with the current circumstance of a transition to a new port maintainer. As Sterling indicates, though, Vimium does not work properly (or at all) under certain circumstances, and some basic capabilities that make Vimperator usable are not (easily, at least) within the capabilities of the chromium extension system. As such, it's pretty well inferior to Vimperator, through no fault of the extension writers as far as I'm aware. --=20 Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] --6c2NcOVqGQ03X4Wi Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAk1cOm0ACgkQ9mn/Pj01uKVo+ACgrSXV9DLmkbnMDKXo0cOpPX1K oU0AnipZDH8otYY0PCFN5hEEkOGAUMFB =lWtJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --6c2NcOVqGQ03X4Wi--
