All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
The format is based on Keep a Changelog and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.
- The new env variable
$VIMB_SELECTION
is set to the current selected text whenever ashellcmd
is run #592. - Allow to push link url to queue by
<S-LeftMouse>
#610. - Allow to decide if html5 notfication are allowed #651. New setting 'notification=[ask,always,never]' added.
- Add new env
VIMB_WIN_ID
var for:shellcmd
which holds the own window id.
- Modes some files from
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/vimb
into$XDG_DATA_HOME/vimb
#582. Following files are affectedbookmark
,closed
,command
,config
,cookies.db
,history
,queue
andsearch
. Existing files could be moved to the new location bymv $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/vimb/{bookmark,closed,command,cookies.db,history,queue,search} \ $XDG_DATA_HOME/vimb # and same for existing profiles mkdir $XDG_DATA_HOME/vimb/<ProfileName> mv $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/vimb/<ProfileName>/{bookmark,closed,command,cookies.db,history,queue,search} \ $XDG_DATA_HOME/vimb/<ProfileName>
- Fixed ignored last line in config file if this line did not end in newline.
- Fixed crash in normal_focus_last_active (Thanks to Maxime Coste)
- Fixed hint keys going to webview if the hinted element had no src-attribut (thanks to Maxime Coste)
- Fixed erro in hinting on gitlab which caused the hints to have ho labels #659.
- Expansion of
%
to the current opened URI for:shellcmd
was removed because it breaks thex-hint-command
with URIs containing '%'. But it is still possible to use$VIMB_URI
for the:shellcmd
which has the same effect.
3.6.0 - 2020-01-02
:cleardata [listOfDataTypes] [timeSpan]
command to clear various types of stored website data modified in the last timeSpan.- Setting

geolocation
with values ('ask', 'always' and 'never') to allow the user to permit or disable geolcation requests by default (Thanks to Alva). - Setting

:clearcache
was removed in favor of more advanced:cleardata
command. The previous behaviour of:clearcache

- allow-file-access-from-file-urls
- allow-universal-access-from-file-urls
- Added
#define CHECK_WEBEXTENSION_ON_STARTUP 1
to config.def.h to enable checks during runtime if the webextension file could be found. Hope that this helps user to fix compile/installation issues easier. - Re-Added support for page marks to jump around within long single pages by
using names marks.
Set a marks by
m{a-z}
in normal mode. Jump to marks by'{a-z}
. - Re-Added
gf
to show page source (Thanks to Leonardo Taccari) #361. Webkit2 does not allow to show the page in the source view mode so thegf
writes the HTML to a temporary files and opens it in the editor configured by:set editor-command=...
- New created files in
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/vimb
are generated with0600
permission to prevent cookies be observed on multi users systems. Existing files are not affected by this change. It's a good advice to change the permission of all the files in$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/vimb
to0600
by hand.
- Fixed missing dependency in Makefile which possibly caused broken builds (Thanks to Patrick Steinhardt).
- Fixed weird scroll position values shown in scroll indicator on some pages #501.

- Use sqlite as cookie storage #470 to prevent cookies lost on running many vimb instances.
- Start vimb with maximized window #483.
- Hints are now styled based on the vimbhint attributes. The old additional set classes are not set anymore to the hints. So customized css for the hints have to be adapted to this.
- Element ID is stored in case the editor was spawned. So it's now possible to start the editor, load another page, come back and paste the editor contents (thanks to Sven Speckmaier).
- Fixed none cleaned webextension object files on
make clean
. - Remove none used gui styling for completion.
- Removed webkit1 combat code.
3.1.0 - 2017-12-18
- Added completion of bookmarked URIs for
:bmr

- Reintroduce the automatic commands from vimb2. An automatic command is executed automatically in response to some event, such as a URI being opened.
- Number of webprocesses in no longer limited to one.
- Treat hint label generation depending on the first hint-key char.
If first char is '0' generate numeric style labels else the labels start with
the first char (thanks to Yoann Blein).
hint-keys=0123
->1 2 3 10 11 12 13
hint-keys=asdf
->a s d f aa as ad af
- Show versions of used libs on
vimb --bug-info
and the extension directory for easier issue investigation. - During hinting JavaScript is enabled and reset to it's previous setting after hinting is done might be security relevant.
- Allow extended hints mode also for open
g;o
to allow the user to toggle checkboxes and radiobuttons of forms. - Rename
hint-number-same-length
intohint-keys-same-length
for consistency. - Search is restarted on pressing
n
orN
with previous search query if no one was given (thanks to Yoann Blein).

- Fixed undeleted desktop file on
make uninstall
. - Fixed window not redrawn properly in case vimb was run within tabbed.
- Fixed cursor appearing in empty inputbox on searching in case a normal mode command was used that switches vimb into command mode like 'T' or ':'.
- Fixed hint labels never started by the first char of the 'hint-keys'.
- Fixed items where added to history even when
history-max-items
is set to 0 (thanks to Patrick Steinhardt). - Fixed hinting caused dbus timeout on attempt to open URI with location hash.
- Fixed wrong scroll position shown in the right of the statusbar on some pages.
- Fixed vimb keeping in normal mode when HTTP Authentication dialog is shown.

instead of previousset input-fg-normal=DejaVu Sans Mono Bold 10
- Renames some settings to consequently use dashed setting names. Following
settings where changed.
