gvimail


Makes the web interface of Gmail behaves like Vim

I love the web interface of Gmail, the standard version. But it requires a lot use of the mouse. What if I can use the keyboard only?

Vimperator is a Firefox extension that lets you browse any site with Firefox, just like you use Vim: with keyboard only, without needing the mouse. Unfortunately, Vimperator cannot find clickable items if , or is used for these items, making it useless on Gmail.

GViMail will be the tool that helps Vimperator find these clickable items. It will consists of a vimperator plugin that will give you access to elements that vimperator won't find as links but you should be able to click in GMail.

GViMail will require Firefox and Vimperator. You'll need to use Firefox 3 and Vimperator 0.6pre, at least.

Other extension that enhances accessibility of Gmail (and other useful sites) is called http://google-axsjax.googlecode.com'>AxsJAX.
