About
VimDF replaces Chrome's built-in PDF viewer with a modal, keyboard-driven one. Read papers, specs, and books without ever
touching the mouse.
— FEATURES —
• Vim-style navigation — j/k/h/l, gg/G/{n}G, Ctrl-d/Ctrl-u/Ctrl-f/Ctrl-b
• Search — / to query, n/N to cycle matches; Ctrl-F for native find
• Marks — m{a-z} to set, '{a-z} to jump back
• Link hints — f to show yellow hint labels on every link, F to open in new tab
• Jump list — Ctrl-O / Ctrl-I / Tab to traverse your navigation history
• Outline sidebar — o toggles the table of contents, auto-focuses the section you're currently in; j/k to move, Enter to jump
• Caret mode — i enters a Vim-modal caret over the text:
· h/l/w/b/e for char/word motion
· j/k column-aware line motion
· v / V / Ctrl-V for char / line / block VISUAL selection
· y to yank to clipboard, H to save a persistent highlight
• Remembers last page per document
• Auto / Dark / Light themes; customizable hint and status-bar colors
• Custom keymap aliases for page-scroll commands
Press ? inside the viewer for the full keybinding reference.
Works on any .pdf URL — http(s), extension pages, and local file:// PDFs (requires enabling "Allow access to file URLs" in
chrome://extensions).
