I’ve been trying it the last days and it’s very nice. It plays very well with the mouse and you can disable it anytime.

I just wish there was a shortcut for disabling krabby until you press it again, because I have to disable it manually inside preferences each time I want to interact with some flash app.

Hi,

I switched from vim to kakoune this week and found krabby directly.  
It really is a nice extension. I very much am greatfull for the  
text editing in my own editor feature. The multiple selection mechanisms  
make it possible to switch into embedded windows, like source code postings  
on stackoverflow and escape from them. Something that is not possible with  
vimium. Usability is thus greatly enhanced.

Thanks for this nice piece of software
