vimium mapping for Dvorak layouts
I recently stumbled upon the rather neat vimium extension for Chrom(e|ium), which does much the same as the vimperator extension for Firefox. The problem, though, as with vimperator and vim itself, is that the default keyboard mappings are a bit of a pain in the arse for Dvorak users, as hjkl isn’t on the home row anymore, much less next to each other.
Therefore, it needs some remapping to get in a halfway familiar and Dvorak-compatible layout, which would look like this:
unmapAll map r reload map e removeTab map u restoreTab map h scrollDown map t scrollUp map d scrollLeft map n scrollRight map <c-h> scrollPageDown map <c-t> scrollPageUp map <c-u> scrollFullPageDown map D goBack map N goForward map T nextTab map H previousTab map <c-y> createTab map gg scrollToTop map G scrollToBottom map gf toggleViewSource map zi zoomIn map zo zoomOut map yy copyCurrentUrl map i enterInsertMode map f activateLinkHintsMode map F activateLinkHintsModeToOpenInNewTab map / enterFindMode map . performFind map , performBackwardsFind
Just paste it in the remap field of the extension’s “advanced options” menu.

Awesome, thanks for posting this Tobias.
Don’t forget that posting here hides things in angle brackets < like these >
Relevant lines:
map <c-h> scrollPageDown
map <c-t> scrollPageUp
map <c-u> scrollFullPageDown
map <c-y> createTab
Finally got around to updating it. Kudos, Hunter!
