Shortcat Alternatives
Shortcat is described as 'keyboard tool for Mac OS X that lets you "click" buttons and control your apps with a few keystrokes. Think of it as Spotlight for the user interface' and is an app in the OS & Utilities category. There are more than 10 alternatives to Shortcat for a variety of platforms, including Mac, Windows, Linux, Google Chrome and Firefox. The best alternative is Vimium, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like Shortcat are Fluent Search (Free), cVim (Free, Open Source), Vimac (Free, Open Source) and Vieb (Free, Open Source).
- The Hacker's Browser. Vimium provides keyboard shortcuts for navigation and control in the spirit of Vim . Vimium helps you navigate the web without touching the mouse.
- Fluent Search (beta) is a fast and easy-to-use search application that lets you search for running applications, browser tabs, bookmarks, files, and more.
- Vim bindings for Google Chrome. Why is this different than Vimium, ViChrome, or Vrome? These extensions do a wonderful job of adding Vim-like keybindings to Google Chrome, but they lack many of the features that the Firefox add-on Pentadactyl have.

- Simple vimium/vimperator style navigation for Windows applications based on the UI Automation framework. In essence, it works the same as screen readers or accessibility programs but with the goal of making any Windows program faster to use.

elrostelperien It works similarly, but for Windows. - Vimperator is a Firefox browser extension with strong inspiration from the Vim text editor, with a mind towards faster and more efficient browsing. It has similar key bindings and you could call it a modal web browser, as key bindings differ according to which mode you are in.

Didn't make it a WebExtension
- Brings vim-easymotion to macOS, where most UI elements can be accessed with your fingers on the keyboard. Along with the favorite Vimari (Keys for safari or sVim) ext on Safari or Vimium on Chrome, vim users will gain a new power.
