Not reproduced on my Chrome 118 + macOS. Have you seen this problem again in the recent week? If Vomnibar can show on a local HTML file, or a local folder page like |
Yep, I'm still getting this problem. It happens with HTML files, PDF files, images, anything. Prior to a few weeks ago, this has always worked, so I don't think it's an issue with keyboard focus. |
do other key mappings work? like linkhints.

Web links can't go from a non-local website to a local file, so link hints aren't relevant to this issue. If I have a My best guess is that Chrome has some security feature that's preventing extensions from opening local files, but you would know more about this than me. |
Wait! I figured it out! Chrome has now added an option in the extension's options page to "Allow access to file URLs", and it is disabled by default. Enabling this makes Vimium C work again. This change was initiated in Chrome v. 118. |
I have the same problem in Firefox. I could not find how to make it work though. There is no per-extension option for allowing local files like in Chrome. |
It works, thanks! I thought that kind of thing could only disable the security feature globally, but ostensibly it just does it for Vimium-C. |
