vimperator

best. firefox extension. ever.

seriously. i’ve been using this all day and love it. between Witch, Quicksilver, and now Vimperator, my hands seldom need to touch a mouse now.

if only i could find a keyboard way to move a window without having to use the mouse. oh well.

    If only there were a nice graphical jukebox application with a vi-like interface…

    You might want to check out the ‘wmii’ window manager: http://www.suckless.org/wiki/wmii

    have a better day

    FWIW, in Windows, Alt-Spacebar, pops a window control menu, then M-for-Move hooks window location to the arrow keys until the next Enter.

    I haven’t tried it on a Mac, but it might be worth a try.

    You’re looking for a tiling window manager. dwm, xmonad, wmii, ratpoison, or similar.

    @Stephen - Jukebox app? cmus

    I don’t know whether it compiles on solaris, but you should have a look at oroborus

    wmii + vimperator = uber-efficient, especially on laptop. like to leave out mouse support in kernel, but some activities still seem to require it.
