Page hotkeys · BrowserShell

Page hotkeys are Vimium-style bindings that work on http(s) pages while the terminal overlay is closed. They activate automatically on page load — no extra click required.

Configure in Options → Page keys or edit binds in /config/rc.

Quick start

Open any website (overlay closed).
Press f — link hints appear; type letters to follow a link.
Press j / k — scroll down / up.
Press ? — full cheat sheet overlay.

bind list                    # see all binds from the shell

From the terminal you can also run:

hints --newtab               # same as F
bind add ; seek              # custom bind
bind remove f

Settings (rc file)

global-hotkeys = true
insert-mode-auto = true      # pause hotkeys in text fields
leader = "<space>"
hint-chars = "asdfghjklqwertyuiopzxcvbnm"
hint-max = 220
scroll-step = 0.8
global-hotkeys-exceptions = "mail.google.com,*.bank.com"

Troubleshooting

Hotkeys do nothing after load

Confirm Global hotkeys is on in options.
Check the site is not in Disabled hosts.
Ensure you are not in a text field (or press Esc).
Run config reload after editing rc.

Hotkeys conflict with site shortcuts

Add the host to disabled hosts, or rebind conflicting keys with bind add.
