TODOs: A list of tasks sorted by difficulty to make Saka Key better

[eejdoowad]

Easy:

• Create proper left hand, right hand, Vimium, and Vimperator Keybinding profiles
• Document in Handbook which pages Saka Key doesn't work on, Indicate which pages Saka Key doesn't work on #94
• Add command for opening multiple background tabs, Feature Request: a hints mode command for opening multiple background tabs #157

Medium

• On the options page, separate Enabling/Disabling Saka Key from the General Profile
• Validate options when you import them
• Make sure default hint appearance looks same with and without CSS and on different OSs
• Add commands for clicking previous and next links
• add quick disable/enable key command
• Instead of opening info page on updates, send a notification that can be clicked on to navigate to the options page
• add command for quickly changing active profiles
• Make Pass mode exit keys configurable and change default to something other than ALT (which defocuses the tab on Windows)
• Add status icon described in Feature Request: Indicate in the toolbar button when "passing keys to page" #22
• Show available actions based on last key pressed, Show actions based on link #86
• Respect physical keys setting when resolving hint characters, Link hints don't work with non-latin keyboard layout #92

Hard

• Add support for activating links by link text , Feature Request: Use the link's name and numbers for link-hint filtering #32
• add support for scrolling pages without smoothscroll polyfill (which can only scroll the scrollingElement, not subelements)
• add support for selecting and focusing iframes
• properly simulate hovers to make mouseover menus usable with link hints
• Analyze which version of firefox and chrome Saka Key is compatible with
• Add category headers to quick navigation pane on left side of options gui
• Add Vimium style help page (but make it searchable and full screen)
• Add command for switching between profiles without opening options gui
• Add historical tab switching commands
• Implement proposal here
• Integrate pdf.js to enable scrolling
• Make Saka automatically work in all open tabs after updates without requiring reloading
• Add "Open multiple links command" and make it possible to use modifier keys to change how a link is opened, see Feature Request: af and ctrl-f from vimfx #44
• Activate selected text, see Feature request - Paste and go in new tab (VimFX feature) #47
• Add Text Mode commands, see Configure shortcuts in text inputs #87

Rockstar

• Port the performant VimFX Algorithm for finding hintable elements
• Add find mode to search for text on pages, triggered by forward slash '/', see Feature Request: bind/shortcut for search? #25.
• Add visual/caret mode for selecting text, see Vimium's docs
• Add GUI widget that lists available keybindings based on state of input trie
• Add per-domain configurations
• Figure out all situations in which ports to the background page close and add functionality to gracefully restart.
• Use semantic markup and ARIA landmarks to provide more intelligent shortcuts
• Look into using MutationObservers and IntersectionObservers to pre-load and cache link hints
• Add support for user-defined commands
• Add support for commands triggered by hints mode, see Bind JS scripts/bookmarklets? (for pocket integration) #45.
• Add commands for controlling videos (pause, play, volume), might want to separate into its own extension
• Make hintable elements customizable per-domain

properly simulate hovers to make mouseover menus usable with link hints

It would be nice if it just triggers hover when matched and click triggered. Is there a special command to do hovers?

[eejdoowad]

No hover command. But there is command for just focusing bound to F,L by default

[umpirsky]

Yes, I know, but not enough for dropdown manus.

Is this list still open for development?
I would like to take the 'hover' thing...
