Webextension modules we might need:

• keyboard (not yet existent)
• storage (.vimperatorrc)
• tabs
• history (for auto completion of open, etc)
• bookmarks (auto completion, obvious)
• windows (buffers)
• webNavigation (autocmds) - maybe content script would just do this for us.

Stuff we want to do that I know how to do:

Show hints: For each link in viewport (how to restrict to viewport?): Add a

element styled to appear on top of it Listen for keystrokes. Does vimperator just go for tags? I think it probably knows about elements that can be clicked for other effects. Change tab tabs.update(tabtodisplay, {active: true}) Change window focus windows.update(windowtofocus, {focused: true})

Stuff I don't know how to do:

Use promises properly. Use promises from a sane language (coffeescript, livescript, elm, etc). Find promises to cancel their chain. Communication between background and content scripts.
