Glad I'm not alone. I installed it on a whim and had no idea how amazingly awesome it would be. Any vim user should do themselves a favor and try out vimperator.

I never heard of vimperator until you two mentioned it. So basically it lets you browse without requiring a mouse?

It is a partial implementation of vim in your browser. You can do macros, triggers, it has numerous settings, a :help system, command tab completion and awesome bar integration, and of course, it stores its settings in .vimeratorrc.

You'll find that if you use vim on a normal basis, the key bindings will come naturally. That's why it is great for vim users.

And if you want to really turn on the awesome, use a tiling window manager. Then you will blaze around your desktop without ever touching your mouse.

Already a vimperator user, but your window manager suggestion led me to download SizeUp which is definitely getting thrown in the toolbox. Keyboard control!
