Ratings and Reviews
Great, but no longer works.
No longer works right on iPadOS 18, it won’t respond to any key presses until you tap on the page, making it sadly useless. Great app until now, vim key controls are essential for internet browsing with a keyboard! Although the developer says in iPadOS 18.1 the app works fine, I have updated to 18.1 and find that unfortunately the same problems persist.
Developer Response ,
Thanks for using Vimlike! It is an issue of iPadOS 18.0 Safari and it is fixed in iPadOS 18.1 beta. Vimlike works fine with iPadOS 18.1 beta. Please wait for iPadOS 18.1 to be released.
iPadOS 18.0 Safari has an issue that the focus does not move to the webpage when the tab is created or activated until the webpage gets the focus manually by the webpage touched / clicked, one of the arrow keys (up, down, left, or right) pressed, or tab key pressed.
Hence, shortcuts in websites using keyboard events of the webpage do not work (e.g. gmail shortcuts do not work). As Vimlike uses keyboard events of the webpage, Vimlike only works once the webpage gets the focus manually by the webpage touched / clicked, one of the arrow keys (up, down, left, or right) pressed, or tab key pressed as a workaround.
iPadOS 18.1 beta 4 has resolved the problem and Vimlike works fine.
