My config files and whatnot for KeySnail, an Emacs/Vim-friendly keyboard
control plugin for Firefox.

Being a long-time Vimperator user, I recently switched to KeySnail for (mostly)
the following reasons:

    Speed: Using the built-in 'awesomebar' KeySnail is much faster when it
    comes to bookmark/history autocompletions. Also the hit-a-hint plugin
    responds much quicker (and in my opinion is more efficient) than the
    vimperator hinting system.  I found that while using vimperator on my
    netbook I always had to wait for autocompletions to 'catch up'--entering
    keywords too quickly would result in Google searches instead of the
    bookmarks themselves.

    Simplicity: KeySnail doesn't completely overhaul the Firefox UI...toolbars
    are untouched by default, built-in shortcuts work unless you choose to
    override them, etc.

    Flexibility: KeySnail is actually catered to Emacs users (ala key
    sequences), but is equally suited to modal Vim-like control. Custom
    functions are easily bound to keystrokes, event hooks, etc.
