About

Vimium WhatsApp Helper makes Vimium work smoothly on WhatsApp Web by injecting the right ARIA roles so every chat thread can receive a keyboard hint.

What it does:

-Adds role="button" and tabindex="0" to each chat row, making it focusable for hint extensions.
-Watches for new threads as you scroll or get messages and marks them the same way.
-Requires no special permissions and runs only on web.whatsapp.com.

⚠️ Note: You must have the original Vimium extension installed for hints to appear.
