About this extension

This is a simplified subset of Topovica which is a subset of Vimperator. The idea is to use default Firefox shortcuts whenever they are available and use the Vimperator style when nothing appropriate is provided by Firefox. It is a pity that an easy link following is not in Firefox by default.

`SysRq` → brings up the buffer selector interface. Typing will search buffers for matching indexes or titles, displaying them as hints. `Tab` or `Shift+Tab` cycles between hints. Pressing `Enter` jumps to the first match if no hint is selected, else to the selected hint
`Break`, `Pause` → displays indexes for links: typing in those indexes follows the link in the current tab or a new tab, respectively.
`PrintScreen` → copies the current url to the clipboard

Release notes for 0.4

Version 0.4 and 0.3 are bugfixes.

Version 0.2 changed the key bindings from `;`, `:`, `.`, `,` to `Break`, `Pause`, `SysRq`, `PrintScreen` respectively. It was done because insert mode detection sometimes fails. If user wanted to input e.g. `.` in such a case then the character was consumed by this extension. This change fixes it since SysRq & Break keys are not used in input controls.
