Tridactyl is a Firefox WebExtension that brings Vim-like keybindings and commands to your browser, allowing for highly efficient keyboard-only navigation. Here's a cheat sheet covering some of the most common and useful commands:
Case Sensitivity: Hint characters (when using `f` or `F`) should be typed in lowercase.
Firefox Keybinds: Tridactyl cannot override some native Firefox key combinations (e.g., `Ctrl-T` for new tab, `Ctrl-W` to close tab).
Configuration: You can customize keybindings and settings extensively using the command line (e.g., `:bind`, `:set`).
`:` (Command Mode): Many actions are available as “ex-commands” by typing a colon first.
`Ctrl-v`: Bypass Tridactyl bindings for the next single keystroke (useful for passing a key directly to the website).
This cheat sheet provides a solid foundation for using Tridactyl. For a complete and up-to-date list of commands and their descriptions, consult the official Tridactyl documentation by typing `:help` in your browser with Tridactyl installed.
