Vimium: After YouTube updated its site, some Vimium shortcuts are unreadable

Created on 7 Dec 2016  ·  4Comments  ·  Source: philc/vimium

Hi all,
I've used Vimium for a while without any issues and one of the things I did on YT is to set player into full-screen mode by hitting the "f" key and then picked the proper shortcut key. However, after the recent update, YT player now looks like this when I hit the "f" key:

yt mess

and it's impossible to tell what the proper key is for full-screen.

Unfortunately, the full-screen key under YT is "f" key so when I disabled it, Vimium doesn't open links anymore.

Any idea why YT is messed up so much now? Thanks!

@nick-s-b... I'm going to guess it's LD, but that doesn't answer your question. Unfortunately, I don't see YT the same, so it's difficult to figure out what's going on...

As a workaround, if you have...

map <c-]> passNextKey

Then <c-]> f should get you full screen mode too. And that's better in that the keys you have to hit are predictable.

Thank you for replying @smblott-github ! That worked well... now I can bypass Vimium easily.

BTW, how did you change your links to numbers?

@nick-s-b

Vimium Options -> Advanced Options -> Use the link's name and numbers for link-hint filtering

I found next short cut more handy:

map e passNextKey

So you would press e then f.
