This is akin to saying "Ram Jam is better than kayaking." It's a totally meaningless remark.

Ok lol it's me again ... just discovered that you can actually alt+tab twice and it will get you out of the youtube player if you clicked on it with mouse, after that the vimium shortcuts seem to work. This didn't work in firefox, I'm pretty sure.

I'd still like a solution to pressing the controls in the first place by using just keyboard shortcuts :P ... I think you could theoretically tab yourself there but it's painfully slow and tedious.

cheers

Yeah, hello again. I've been using it for a while now: I love it.

Regarding my previous message about youtube usage and the adobe flashplayer. I discovered that you can _sometimes_ control the flashplayer with the Vimium link commands, F+hint. But for example this page here it doesn't work, the links don't show. I was only able to do that on one video, I have no idea what contributes to it. When it worked it was awesome, I didn't get stuck in the player.

If someone knows I'd be grateful, thx!

Also, it seems like my bookmarks collection is much harder to access than in Firefox :O ..

(I used to just keep the sidebar open and access it with alt+s, tab, and write to move in the tree structure. Seems to me chromes bookmark manager doesn't support write moving .. only arrows, and is really awkward with keyboard in general).

Anyone know a good extension/solution for this as well :) ? Thanks in advance.

Hey, I love keyboard shortcuts. But Adobe Flashplayer is my worst enemy, I can't tab out of it!

Uploader / anyone, do you know a solution to this :P ?

(like here if you click pause on the video, it's impossible to enter any keyboard commands for chrome/vimium or change focus back to browser without a mouse)

thanks in advance!

feels like its even better way of navigating than Opera's CrossFire. many thanks. next week is keyboard only.
