Would anybody take it upon him-/herself to make the Palemoon version of Vimperator (3.16.2, https://github.com/boriselec/vimperator-labs) work with Basilisk?
FYI: I also asked this question on the Palemoon forum today.
Ask me anything!

Try the attached xpi file. I don't know exactly how the vimperator addon is supposed to behave as I don't use it personally, but this seems to work for me in my limited testing.axben wrote: ↑2025-10-09, 09:50Would anybody take it upon him-/herself to make the Palemoon version of Vimperator (3.16.2, https://github.com/boriselec/vimperator-labs) work with Basilisk?
Don't do that. If what you are posting is exclusively Basilisk-specific please post here in the Basilisk section of the forum.

@Basilisk-Dev
Thanks a lot!
Sorry for my delayed answer. I noticed your post only today...
So far the addon works fine.
Given the fact (I DO think so) that Vimperator is still a unique addon, why can't we find it on the extensions/addons site?
Would it be possible to put it there (I think many people still like it very much - for me it's the "killer extension" for Basilisk (as it used to be for Firefox until...).

There is also this other vim-style keybindings extension but I have not tested it: https://addons.basilisk-browser.org/add ... community/

I have used pentadactyl extensively. It is a great extension, but it feels like it needs some code maintenance, it is extremely laggy and slow and brings down the performance of the browser. Vimperator on the other hand I hardly notice it is there, it is super fast and elegant.
