What is Vimb?

Vimb is a web browser designed to function like the Vim editor, using the webkit browser engine and the GTK toolkit. Inspired by Pentadactyl and Vimprobable, it is lightweight, fast, and easy to configure during use. It offers a keyboard-driven, efficient browsing experience, similar to the vimperator plugin for Firefox.

For those familiar with vim or pentadactyl, using Vimb is straightforward. It features vim-like keybindings, and almost all configurations can be altered at runtime with vim-like set syntax. It has a history for ex commands, search queries, and URLs, and offers completions for commands, URLs, bookmarked URLs, settings variable names, and search queries. Other features include hinting, SSL validation, user-defined URL shortcuts, a read-it-later queue for URLs, multiple yank/paste registers, and a vim-like autocmd feature.
