Great for vim-addicts
A neat extension for those of us who have vim wired into their fingers!
Excellent
Author is genius
Fantastic Extension
This is a super nifty extension for anyone browsing the web and not wanting to rely on a mouse. I use this with a Clicks Keyboard on my iphone and it works fantastic :)
Good but seems to not support Colemak layout?
Works fine and as expected - but it seems to ignore the fact that I have non-QWERTY layout installed?
The "Default Mode" setting does not work
I generally love this plugin but the bug I just found makes it unusable for me. I’ve sett it to default to insert mode globally, but on every page I load, it defaults to `normal` mode.
Going to uninstall it for the time being because I would like to just be able to type into a searchbar on certain pages, withotu first pressing i

Best Vim key implementation, but maybe have a unit test that checks amazon functionality an update
Had to disable for now to navigate through Amazon
Lacking Bookmark/Favorite Support
This is very close to being my favorite vim-support extension for every browser out there…however, it’s lacking support to open your bookmarks/favs. To be fair it may not be for lack of trying from the devs and it could be something Apple has locked down tight. If not, I would love to see the devs get that feature out and I would for sure be on board.

Response from developer
Thank you for the comment! And yes you are right. At the moment, Safari does not allow accessing bookmarks thru API in extensions.
Can be improved more
1. I want open search result in the current tab
2. Some websites it cannot work

Fantastic Extension for Keyboard Addicts
This is by far the best and most complete Safari extension I’ve come across. It is functionally perfect, polished, and has a ton of features for every level of keyboard junkie. I prefer it to its Chrome counterpart – great to have this in Safari, and thanks to the developer for making this available!

Good, but has a scrolling bug
(iPadOS18.5) When scrolling (j,k, and space) the webpage seems to shake, unlike pressing up and down buttons. Another issue: can’t use “f” to press a button on the webpage, i.e. the “x” of an ad. It does show a letter when pressing “f”, but nothing happens when I type that letter.
Response from developer
Thank you for the feedback! Maybe try the scroll setting. It will not be like a native scroll but it could make it better for you.
Some inefficiencies
Good start, some observations:
Links do not fully exhaust available hints before appending more characters. I tried removing the amount of link hints to ‘yuiophjklnm’ and very often I have to type 3 characters instead, even when some of the characters aren’t on screen.
Also wish custom search url can be used instead of the default options, so I can redirect to a search engine of my choice or a gpt.
A visual mode would be very helpful for highlighting text (surfingkeys has a great visual mode implementation).

Thanks for the comments and suggestions!
This extension is awesome
I have one suggestion that would make it perfect for my needs. Would it be possible to have the new tab shortcut launch a customized url?
Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback and suggestion! Let us take a look and include it in future releases.
Replaced Vimari For Me
Works very well and is actually actively developed and modernized for the latest Safari changes. Vimari was no longer reliable for me and Vimlike has been a successful replacement.
Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback!
Awesome!
Really awesome! Absolutely love it! Very well thought out default keymap too
Must have!
This brings everything Vimium offers and more in a highly preferable interface and implementation. You won’t want to go back to a browser that doesn’t have this extension.
Response from developer
Thanks for the kind comments! Happy to hear that you enjoy Vimlike!
Hitting F again should cancel navigation
Hitting F once invokes link selection on the page. Hitting F again should cancel and exit this mode. However, right now the F key could be selecting some random link on the page
Some thoughts
1. You don’t need to make it Swiss knife by including so many feature (include dark mode)
2. Fix issue when you can’t `t` to open new tab while current tab in Reader mode.
3. Open source it and charge 3.99$ for iOS app.
4. When set “Scroll” to fast, it should instantly, remove any animation, ppl hate “Smooth Scrolling” on macos for a reason.

Exceptional
Working like a charm and no in app purchases. Can’t believe that I’m not dreaming
Great extension, but search is limited to Google
I’m really enjoying this extension, but I use DuckDuckGo as my preferred search engine and the setting to customize the search engine seems to be locked to Google. There’s seems to be a button to change the search engine but it’s in a “deactivated” state permanently. Maybe this is a feature planned for an upcoming release? As far as I can tell, DuckDuckGo takes the exact same URL params as Google, so it’s confusing why I can’t switch to DuckDuckGo instead.

Thanks for using Vimlike! And yes you are right. Currently search engine is limited to google and it is planned to extend to others in future release. Stay tuned for the future relese!
Great, but no longer works.
No longer works right on iPadOS 18, it won’t respond to any key presses until you tap on the page, making it sadly useless. Great app until now, vim key controls are essential for internet browsing with a keyboard! Although the developer says in iPadOS 18.1 the app works fine, I have updated to 18.1 and find that unfortunately the same problems persist.
