I cannot use Vimac for popup windows (Accessibility Inspector.app Hierarchy shows it as: (floating window) [NSPanel]), as nothing is recognized

right after installation I tried the hint mode and it doesn't work.
Did I miss anything?
PS: accessibility access permission is configured already.

I've noticed, when I start running vimac.app, the "Center" and "Full Screen" features of SizeUp stop working correctly (they resize the application in unexpected ways). I'm not sure what the actually incompatibility is, but that software also requires "accessibility" permissions.

I'm very interested in vimac's development, but I won't be able to use it if it interferes with SizeUp's operation.

To quick the hint-mode, esc needs to be pressed. It would be nice to press control-space again to exit the hint-mode.

Not sure how you we are tracking the progress of this app in terms of element detection. Just posting to say, I wish better elements detection for these category of apps.

1. Java based apps (IntelliJ, Pycharm, Eclipse etc)
2. Electron based apps (Slack, Insomnia)

So far very pleased with the native apps.

Vimac places the cursor at left-bottom corner in scroll mode.
That's where Preview.app in fullscreen triggers "sidebar" ("Thumbnails", "Table of Contents", etc).
Everytime I call scroll mode in fullscreen preview, I could scroll the page view for several seconds. After that, sidebar goes in and scrolls instead.

Maybe alternative cursor positions?

It appears that hints displayed via CTRL-SPACE are completely random. Each time I invoke the hint mode, the hints are different. I'm not sure the best way, but it would be helpful if there was some pattern to it. Or if it at least didn't change very time hint mode was invoked.

Thanks for signing up for the Vimac newsletter and beta programme.

Here was redirecting me to https://vimacapp.com/ but since the website does not support https I couldn't reach the site until I manually changed to http (and then Chrome remembers )

Loving this!

Feature request: Setting a keyboard shortcut to just bring up the yellow prompts immediately, bypassing command line would be ideal. e.g. in vimium, where F is set to bring up the prompts rather than going through command line, typing 'ce', enter.

So: a customisable keyboard shortcut for single click, right click, double click 👍.

Feature 2: Support for clicking on text fields to bring up the cursor.

I like the behavior of how ShortCatApp.com allows me to search in the (Cmd+Shift+Space) search bar, and how it reduces the highlighted elements as I type more characters and making it more precise

In vimium, when the website view is not changed, by enabling or disabling the hint mode, the hint letters seem continue the same. In vimac, by pressing control-space several times it is possible to see that sometimes the hint letters change.

Would be great to post some sys reqs as it seems that older macOS versions are not supported (e.g., 10.11).

There are many overlapping hints in locations where there should only be one making the screen totally bloated and unreadable. Also noticing random stray hints in strange locations. I'm not sure how the Chrome app Vimium does it but they have implemented it pretty well.

0.2.2 works fine.

I would love an option to either:

• Swap the direction scrolling uses
• Choose if scrolling emulated the trackpad or the mouse.

Rationale: I use the app Scroll Reverser, which allows reversing the direction of scrolling. The app allows changing the mouse or the trackpad individually. To be changing the direction of the mouse feels more natural, but I leave the trackpad as it is, because that also seems natural.

However, because I reverse the scrolling of the mouse, Vimac scrolling does the opposite of what I would expect from Vim keybindings.

Perhaps its because I'm not using a retina screen, but the new update has changed the fidelity of the hint text.

However, it's only for some hint texts. See the screenshot. Notice how "AL" is crisp but "P" and "SL" is not:

Here's the hint text from Vimium for comparison:

I want a way to click or right-click on the title bar icons, like the ones in the attached image

It's bit laborious to remember to start the Vimac upon startup. Most apps like BetterTouchTool, KarabinerElements do startup automatically. Would be cool if that thing works out of the box. 🙏

Hey!

Just wanted to know if there will be a place where I could contribute code to this project! I would love to help bring vimium to mac :D

Most of the time we need to click more than once, maybe offer an option that hint mode not exit after the click(exit by press ESC and so on)?

Sometimes I call Vimac in Chinese input method and have to switch to English to make it work, is there any way to force Vimac calling with English input.

It is annoying that every new version of Vimac requires me to Grant Permissions to Vimac yet again, and the only way to get it to work is to first remove it and then re-add that permission again.

I love to try out Vimac badly but I'm stuck with Catalina. Kindly let us know how long we wait for that experience?

It seems currently that you can't use regular keys in shortcut combos, e.g. alt+f or alt+;.

Since people are used to using these keys in browsers, allowing it with a modifier will reduce the friction for remembering the Vimac shortcut

The link I got in email

https://github.com/dexterleng/vimac-releases/raw/master/vimac-0.2.3a.zip

Is broken.

Great idea and work!

Currently, it seems that Vimac attaches a link to any clickable element in the UI. Especially in the Finder and in Mail it's an overwhelming amount of choices. It would be great if the app could filter out the ones with the same target, thus presenting fewer (overlapping) choices to the user.

I'm on 3.0.2.

Target: Folders in the Chrome bookmark bar.

Right-clicking with shift to open the context menu does not work

Hi, thanks for this awesome app. Somehow scroll mode doesn't on my Mac. When I press i/j/k/l on scroll mode(with yellow "s" on the left top of the screen), scroll mode exit and do nothing. BTW, hint mode works well.

macOS 10.15.2
Vimac 0.3.3.1

It appears that with 0.3.0 ESC exits "hint mode", but does not exit "scroll mode". In order to exit "scroll mode" I have to CTRL-S, then ESC (which is pretty clunky). Am I missing something?

CTRL + Space shows the hints but they are all completely unaligned on all apps. They are shifted upward many pixels making the app useless. Not sure what would be causing this.
