[META] Reddit API changes will make 3rd Party Apps unusable. This also goes against Obsidian values. Shall r/ObsidianMD join the 24h (or longer) shutdown of the subreddits on 12th June as protest?
I don't mind posting it, but be aware it's not an Obsidian script, I use from the browser, using it from an extension called SurfingKeys

Vimium – The Hacker's Browser
For the privacy-conscious interested in SK, it may be worth a read of this GH issue: https://github.com/brookhong/Surfingkeys/issues/1796
I empathise with the author wanting to make a buck but it's hard to reconcile the approach he took with the level of trust granted to this extension.

I just found out you can navigate through reddit posts using J and K
Was this issue about the bundled search hijacker resolved in some sort of positive way? I abandoned SurfingKeys as soon as I heard about that and haven't looked at it again. It'd be nice if that was all rolled back, but I switched to Vimium and haven't found it to be particularly worse, at least not for the way that I browse the web. The only thing that I've been missing is the vim-like text editor but, for me, that's a relatively minor feature; I don't write giant comments that often.

Leap.nvim for the browser
Moved from it in favor of more features that surfingkeys provide. If you know a little bit of javascript you can conquer your browser!

Wasavi – VI editor for any webpage
Tridactyl's key feature is "native messaging".
A further alternative is https://github.com/brookhong/Surfingkeys. Its key feature is a javascript configuration - allowing you to bind arbitrary javascript to a key.

Is there a way to get the current data folder?
If you know the names of the folders in advance it's possible to make a different mapping in each of the folders to load a different file per datafolder but with the same keys. There is no variable system in Vieb, and as such there are no commands that will need or use the datafolder as an argument. This specific question would best be solved by a proper bookmark system which would load a file from the datafolder anyway, without having to build this in manually. Work on this has started some time ago, but has recently stalled: https://github.com/Jelmerro/Vieb/pull/391 If you or anyone else is up to the task feel free to pick this up again, as I don't use bookmarks at all so it's of little use to me personally, and as such have bigger priority tickets to work on in Vieb most of the time.

What software would you like to see ported?
Please could you port Vieb? It's the only browser that really works on my old ThinkPad!

Double click to copy texts.
First one is related to and blocked by https://github.com/Jelmerro/Vieb/issues/257

Vieb 9.0.0: chromium 104, faster explore + follow mode, darkreader blocklist, userstyles for custom css, markdownviewer, (quick)marks for scrolling urls & pointer, smaller builds, containernames for same tab, removed extension support, lots of bugfixes
Download the latest release from vieb.dev or github. View the changelog for details. And check the FAQ for answers to frequently asked questions and startup help.

A way to hide the scrollbar completely + darkreader takes a sec to apply darkmode..
For the time being you can keep using the extension, but once 9.0.0 is released extension support will indeed be removed. To modify the styling, you can use the new "userstyle" setting to inject custom styling into any page, the relevant commit is here. Once that version is released you can find the help for it with :help userstyle, though that isn't in any released version yet (You can always build it yourself to get it early).
-
Will Vieb support extensions in future?
In the current releases there is experimental support for it, but this will be dropped soon due to the lack of compatibility. Instead I will focus my efforts towards integrating commonly requested features, which has started with the integration of sponsorblock and darkreader. So unless by a miracle somebody will contribute a working extension integration, full extension support is not something Vieb will have. You can find more info on Github, and also suggest extensions you want to be in Vieb: https://github.com/Jelmerro/Vieb/issues/385

Vieb 8.0.0: chromium 102, performance and security improvements, add source viewer, add readerview, better adblocking, support prompts (and block dialogs), custom useragents, bugfixes for: follow labels, composing keyboards, url encoding and much more
Extensions are hard, and the current implementation is as far as I can personally make them work, which is sadly not good enough. I'm considering dropping support altogether and implementing major ones into Vieb (such as some sort of darkreader). Extensions are such a daunting task that even implementing multiple extensions from scratch seems easier than trying to make all of them work as proper extensions, this is also the approach used for the new sourceviewer and reader view (both of which use package to render the views, but are still integrated into Vieb as if a native part of it). The current progress of making extensions work is tracked in this ticket: https://github.com/Jelmerro/Vieb/issues/130, but it's been stuck at basic extensions (such as dark reader) without GUI for a while, and even those fail to install occasionally for the most obscure and random reasons, it's just not very stable at all.
