What is cVim?
Vim for Google Chrome. I hate using the mouse, especially after learning Vim. With my desktop (Linux), I have a lot of key bindings that make doing things easier: I open Chrome with Alt+w, I close a window with Alt+Shift+d, I open a terminal with Alt+t. This is harder to do with Chrome because it has no section for customizing keyboard shortcuts, and it is still necessary to use the mouse to do things like click links. cVim aims to eliminate this problem as best as the Chrome extensions API will allow it to.
Where can I get cVim?
There are two ways:
You can install it through the Chrome web store
You can download the .zip file here and enable cVim by going to the chrome://extensions URL and checking developer mode, then pointing Chrome to the unzipped folder via the Load unpacked extensions... button.
Why is this different than Vimium, ViChrome, or Vrome?
These extensions do a wonderful job of adding Vim-like keybindings to Google Chrome, but they lack many of the features that Firefox Addon, Pentadactyl, have.
What features does cVim add to Chrome?
Google/IMDB/Wikipedia/Amazon/Duckduckgo/Yahoo/Bing search completion
Support for custom search engines
History and Bookmark search/completion with bookmark folder support
Caret/Visual mode
Efficient link hints (with support for custom mappings)
Support for custom keyboard mappings
Regex page search with highlighting
Command bar with tab-completion
Smooth scrolling
