Vimium: Doesn't work with my native language (russian)

Created on 15 Nov 2013  路  5Comments  路  Source: philc/vimium

When I change my keyboard layout to russian I can't use vimium hotkeys. Is it possible to use vimium with both english and russian layouts?

Besides I implemented utf-8 compatible links filtering (https://github.com/philc/vimium/pull/948). You can use my fork because it looks like @philc will merge it when "dwarf fortress" obtained 3D-engine.

map everything you want in options>Custom key mappings like this:
..
map 泻 reload
..

Thanks a lot, that did the trick. I thought there is some another way, but now I should rewrite all the hotkeys with my layout.

Har har =) I've left some comments on #948.

Closing this issue since it's not a bug per-se. Thanks for the great guidance @terraqout.

Currently the right way to work with Vimium using a non-latin layout is to use the option Advanced Options -> Miscellaneous Options -> Ignore Keyboard Layout. Using custom mappings as suggested above doesn't solve the problem of needing to switch to a latin layout when selecting a link with f.
