Description : keyboard-accessible user interfaces for XUL-based
applications
The Dactyl project offers Vim-inspired, keyboard-accessible user
interfaces for Iceweasel/Firefox (Pentadactyl), Icedove/Thunderbird
(Teledactyl), and Songbird (Melodactyl). It allows to navigate these
applications with sensible key bindings instead of the mouse.
Initially, only a xul-ext-pentadactyl binary will be provided, since the
other two extensions are still in a pre-alpha stage.
This is a fork of the Vimperator extension (which is already in Debian),
but as Vimperator is moving on [1] and Pentadactyl appears to retain its
“classic” appearance and behavior, it makes sense to offer this choice.
