Tridactyl help page

Use :help <excmd> or scroll down to show help for a particular excmd. If you're still stuck, you might consider reading through the :tutor again.

The default keybinds and settings can be found here and active binds can be seen with :viewconfig nmaps or with bind.

Tridactyl also provides a few functions to manipulate text in the command line or text areas that can be found here. There are also a few commands only available in the command line which can be found here.

Ex-commands available exclusively in hint mode are listed here

We also have a wiki which may be edited by anyone.

How to use this help page

Every function (excmd) on this page can be called via Tridactyl's command line which we call "ex". There is a slight change in syntax, however. Wherever you see:

function(arg1,arg2)

You should instead type

function arg1 arg2 into the Tridactyl command line (accessed via :)

A "splat" operator (...) means that the excmd will accept any number of space-delimited arguments into that parameter.

Above each function signature you will see any aliases or key sequences bound to it. The internal names for the various modes are used, which are listed here:

- `nmaps`: normal mode binds
- `imaps`: insert mode binds
- `inputmaps`: input mode binds
- `ignoremaps`: ignore mode binds
- `exaliases`: aliases in the command mode
- `exmaps`: commandline mode binds

At the bottom of each function's help page, you can click on a link that will take you straight to that function's definition in our code.

You do not need to worry about types. Return values which are promises will turn into whatever they promise to when used in composite.

Caveats

There are some caveats common to all webextension vimperator-alikes:

• To make Tridactyl work on addons.mozilla.org and some other Mozilla domains, you need to open about:config and add a new boolean privacy.resistFingerprinting.block_mozAddonManager with the value true, as well as remove those domains from extensions.webextensions.restrictedDomains.
• Tridactyl can't run on about:*, some file:* URIs, view-source:*, or data:*, URIs.
• To change/hide the GUI of Firefox from Tridactyl, you can use guiset with the native messenger installed (see native and nativeinstall). Alternatively, you can edit your userChrome yourself.
