Firefox – Copy image location in vimperator

The best and easiest thing that you can do is to remap the keys. It's not hard. Put this into your _vimperatorrc (or .vimperatorrc in Linux)

noremap <C-c> <C-v><C-c>
noremap <C-v> <C-v><C-v>

<C-v> is by default mapped to "Pass next" mode, which means that next key you press is sent directly to Firefox, without being processed and eaten by vimperator. So the mappings above just activate the "Pass next" mode and send the respective shortcut.

There is even a vimperator plugin which extends this even further and remaps all common windows shortcuts, so they behave as expected.

Firstly, awesome job figuring out wildoptions

That said, I'd just add that if you just hit o or t it should take you to the command box with the pre-filled command :open or :tabopen respectively. You could type some text and hit Tab to look at auto-complete options for that text.

Also if you ever want to see your search bar for whatever reason:

:set go+=T

Now you should have your entire toolbar, but to access the searchbox I use:

• Alt+d -> Tab

  OR

• Ctrl+l -> Tab

To get rid of the unsightly toolbar just use:

:set go-=T

Also:
you could open up searchoptions via:

:dia searchengines

and set the keywords for each search engine. For eg: Google -> g, Yahoo -> y, etc.

Now when you need to search just hit o or t and follow up the command with g hello as in:

:open g hello

to open a google search page for the word hello
