Ratings and Reviews
Finally vim keys for iOS
Finally we can have vim navigation in Safari on iOS - and the same extension works on MacOS too, yay!
The last update fixed an issue with mixed up keys on international keyboards however now I can't seem to assign alt key combinations anymore, which worked before. Still, the quick response from the developer makes me very confident these issues will be resolved as well.
Must-have for VIM users on iOS!
Developer Response ,
Thank you very much for the feedback! Thanks for letting me know the interesting German keyboard problem. I'll fix it in coming releases. And thanks for the suggestion!
[18 Dec update] thanks again for the report! I tried the combination key like following and it worked for me;
settings.map('alt+j', VLCommand.SCROLL_DOWN);
Try and press 'Save' button and let me know your key binding does not work after that. Maybe check if the key mapping is duplicated in settings. Thanks!
Really great for productivity
This app together with an iPad keyboard makes browsing so much more productive. The hint-mode for links is super fast, and the Darkmode-Option is a nice bonus.
Developer Response ,
Thanks for the review! So happy to hear that.
almost flawless
works great so far. I only have one issue: on my german keyboard I cannot hide the help text by pressing shift+/ no matter the „ignore layout“ setting. Any ideas why or how I can work around this (other than turning off help completely that is)?
Developer Response ,
Thanks for the feedback. I implemented 'ignore layout' option for German keyboard but I just found that when 'ignore layout' is off, the special keys including '/' are not recognized. Let me fix it in the next release.
Meanwhile, you can change the help on/off shortcut in Keyboard settings. Go to Keyboard Settings, select Custom, then change below setting with different key mapping instead of 'slash';
settings.map('shift+slash', VLCommand.TOGGLE_HELP);
[UPDATE 3-Feb] Please update to v1.1.5 or later. It fixed the problem of Ignore Keyboard Layout settings. You can press ? key to toggle help.
