    FWIW I got some of the way through embedding a PDF viewer in Tridactyl [1] so that the keys would still work there, but I backed off because I was a bit scared by how frequently pdf.js gets updated. In Tridactyl it'd get updated about twice a year so we might end up with unresolved security issues.

    Maybe there's a solution I've not thought of (CDN?).

    All my points stand

    * VimFX still works in the latest release of Firefox

    * If random people on the internet can square it, so probably could the Firefox team, they didn't need to keep all features

    * They decided to handicap their addons to match Chrome, because "security" and lost users

    * Chrome is now doing the same

    > ...but I the impression that this means that pretty much no extensions from the 56 era will work any more. Look at VimFx’s changelog...

    The changelog shows a fix this month for the firefox 127 this month, the current version is 126. And the readme clearly states firefox-esr 115. You don't get more working than than

    > WebExtension era, extensions almost never break

    Any other recent extension needs way more maintenance to keep up with the constant evolving of the WebExtensions apis. And you can look at their logs, much more work for a worse user experience

    You can achieve this with native messaging [0] in tridactyl [1]:

    https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl/blob/850acdf2ca11018e...

    It's really cool, I've added an option to open these windows in floating mode automatically in my sway config through another application name iirc. Ans then I press a simple shortcut, and it opens my editor (Helix) with the already entered text and once I close it, it'll transfer the text from that temporary file which was open in your editor to the the input field/textare again.

    You can remove the shortcuts pretty easily with a userscript, see lines ~410-440 here for inspiration: https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl/blob/2eaba7e4ceec6de5...

    Wait until you find out about Tridactyl [0], which, among a plethora of other features, can activate a command line where you can perform all these searches (for example, `:tabopen` will list and activate fuzzy search of all opened tabs).

    You might be interested in using a browser plugin like Tridactyl instead, I’ve been using it for months now absolutely no complaints, no need to “simulate” the mouse anymore just use page hints to click exactly the html element you want to https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl
