Vimperator Scroll

I have recently installed vimperator in firefox. The problem I face while using it is that when I am trying to scroll the feeds in Google reader, it actually scrolls through all the feeds that I follow. As in there are two different scrolls on the page and so how do i tell it to use the the scroll which I want.. I have gone through websites but still I wasn't able to get how should switch between scroll selections. Can anyone help on finding the Keyboard shortcut for the right frame to scroll?

caret navigation (getting a text cursor) in Google Chrome?

I use Google Chrome on OSX. Is there a way, within the browser, to get a text cursor that will allow me to navigate through text, selecting and copying text using only the keyboard?

I've looked at Vimium, Conkeror, and Vimperator, but as far as I can tell, they allow you to use the keyboard to navigate web pages (scrolling, visiting links) but don't provide a text cursor.

Is this possible?

Update: I have learned that this is called caret browsing or caret navigation. Is this possible in Chrome?

vimperator: Using external editor (e.g., vim) to edit Stack Overflow text

Utilities like vimperator allow editing content of HTML form fields in an external editor.

With vimperator there is shortcut Ctrl+I which, when in an edit box, opens the text in an external editor.

In the past, it was possible to use this in Stack Overflow. Since the introduction of more editing features, however, Ctrl+I is not opening the external editor, but inserts *emphasized text*.

Is there any way configure vimperator to start an external editor for editing Stack Overflow text?

Is vimperator safe?

I recently discovered Vimperator, which is just awesome. However, it concerns me that I can execute shell commands from the browser.. is this exploitable? I'd really hate to get "sudo rm -r /*"'d. I don't know too much about web browsers so I may be worrying about nothing.

Vimperator and Ctrl+K

This is related to my other question about copy/pasting in Vimperator.

In normal Firefox, Ctrl+K gives the focus to the search bar.

How can I do this in Vimperator?

The weird thing is that it doesn't work even in -- PASS THROUGH -- mode. Ctrl+L works in pass through, why is it that Ctrl+K doesn't?

Is there a fix or a patch?

How can I get vimperator to scroll more than one line using the j and k keys?

I've tried using the following:

:map j 3j

When I do this and reload the .vimperatorrc file, it actually starts zooming in the page I'm on. The funny thing is, if I type 3j on a page without any mapping, it works. I'm using Vimperator 2.3.1 with Firefox 3.6.3.

Am I missing something?

Thanks!

Commandline vimperator-like browser?

When browsing normally I use Firefox with Vimperator installed, which gives you vim-like key bindings so you can browse without the mouse.

However, every now and again I have to browse from the commandline (often through SSH), and I've been using lynx for this, but it feels horribly inefficient after Vimperator - which would be perfect for doing this. Is there a CLI browser (text only, obviously), that works like Vimperator does?
