I settled with Surfingkeys after I tried Vimium, Vimium C, Pentadactyl and Vimperator.

Here's my Surfingkeys configuration as an ex-Vimium user:

  api.map('F', 'gf');
  api.Hints.setCharacters("asdgqwertzxcvb");
It makes open in new tab behave like Vimium and f work like a toggle.

Hope this helps someone looking for a better option migrating from Vimium.

Could you expand on the advantages of Surfingkeys compared to the 4 other options that you mention?


SurfingKeys has way more features. It supports Firefox and Chromium-based browsers so I can keep a single config file for both (.config/surfingkeys/config). Vimium and Vimium C are good if you need basic Vim navigation capabilities. Pentadactyl and Vimperator (both discontinued) are Firefox-only.
