To use it, you must be using firefox. (don't know about the availability of greasemonkey on IE). You need also download greasemonkey extension for firefox. I am using firefox 2.0. I have never test it under firefox 3.

Commands supported:

navigation:

hjkl left right w e b ^ $

actions:

cw, ncw (n is a digit), dw, ndw, C, D, a, i, A, I x X backspace delete

NOT supported

nw v y dd f /

F12 is escape key. you may want to configure it yourself. In my case, I am using vimperator, so escape key is already used. escape key is also used by firefox.

Besides vi keys emulation. It can also be used to define shortcuts for google.

These are the predefined shortcuts:

wk: => site:wikipedia.org

bd: => baidu.com

gd: => site:godict.com

gg: => site:gougou.com

dirs: => -inurl:htm -inurl:html intitle:"index of"

wh: => web history

f:ppt => filetype:ppt

f:pdf => filetype:pdf

Date range is also supported, format as below:

dr:2007-1-2:2008-1-1

This will be automatically translated into Julian date that google understands.
