[Vimperator] command-line focus

[Ted Pavlic]

I've been using pentadactyl for a long while now, and after getting
tired of remembering to hit C-Z every time I go to a new web page with
pass-thru turned off, I've started to consider going back to vimperator.

So I turned vimperator on (and pentadactyl off) today for the first time
in a while, and I notice something strange. Whenever I hit ":" or "o" or
any other key that should shift focus to the command line, Vimperator
responds appropriately but my focus is not shifted into the command
line. Consequently, for every key after ":" or "o" or whatever, I have
to use my mouse to click on the command line to continue. That's not
exactly mouseless operation.

My :version line

Vimperator:
###VERSION### (created: ###DATE###)
Firefox:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:12.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/12.0

On a different note, I notice that the status bar icons for my other
add-ons are gone. Is there any way to put them back in the
right-hand-side of the status bar?

Hi Ted,

which Pentadactyl "feature" makes you have to press C-z so often?

I guess the ###VERSION### is one of the nightlies or directly from
mercurial?

If you haven't used Vimperator for a long time, I think it might have to
do, that our
vimperator command line is an official "toolbar" now (try right clicking it
and using "Customize" to add e.g. a back button).

So please try with a fresh Firefox (and Vimperator) profile. If you know,
what
you are doing, just deleting some XUL cache files might work as well,
but starting with a fresh profile is good to see if it works then.

In order to get back your status icons from addons, you can try:
:set gui=addons (and :set gui=noaddons), to hide them.

regards,
Martin
