I triple that :o)

I am still a 0.5.3 user, since ffx3 is still not released, but I took a
look at it ...

(I couldn't verify the better memory usage: same sessions use same amount
of memory according to top. I actually considered memory management the
most significant improvement)

... and the first thing I did is installing vimperator, of coarse. The
first thing I noticed was the changed hint system. For my habits it is not
optimal

:o(

I use only the left side of my laptop keyboard for hints in order to avoid
accidentally pressed `j',`k',`h',`l' in hint mode and for the sake of
easier use, when having a cup of tea in the right hand. :o))) You guess:
Numeric hints do not fit in this picture.

( For a long time I am wondering how I still live without carret mode...
Along with hints, vim-tab-navigation and vim-yank for links, which I
already have, this is the thing I *really* (will) *love*. So, looking
forward for ffx3 to appear in debian lenny.)


@ all contributors: Thanks a lot for Vimperator!
