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…

    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.

    In terms of keyboard less window managers, I’ve liked ion3 in the past. There’s also a good wikipedia page on the topic: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilingwindowmanager

    For moving windows on the mac, I only know that you can maximize, minimize, restore with the keyboard. However, I am a big fan of MondoMouse, which makes moving windows with the mouse MUCH easier using a combination of the keyboard and the mouse.
