FAQ

How can I disable Vimium on certain sites, like Gmail?

Click on the Vimium icon in your Chrome's toolbar. From there you can permanently exclude the current site.

You can also view and edit all of the sites which Vimium has been excluded for. See your Vimium's Options Page in chrome://extensions.

Why does Vimium have its own Vomnibar/Omnibox?

The Omnibox is the URL box in Chrome. It's super handy, but you can't access it using Vimium's shortcuts. This is due to a limitation in Chrome's extension API. We can't script Chrome's omnibox in any way. In fact, we can't even focus/unfocus it programmatically.

As a workaround, Vimium has a lightweight replacement for Chrome's Omnibox. It's easy to focus using a single keyboard shortcut, and it has a powerful and very practical completion system. You can also use it to help you jump to any tab or bookmark.
