g$ does not work

[raine]

g0 works for me, g$ on the other hand does nothing.

Any idea how to debug this?

The output of the background page console would be really helpful for this. To get at that

• go to chrome://extensions
• enable developer mode (if you haven't already) by checking the checkbox at the top
• click the "Inspect views: background page" link under Vimium in the extensions page
• click the show/hide drawer button (second from the right in the top right corner) if it's not already blue
• select the console tab in the bottom-most pane (the 'drawer')
• press the leftmost button underneath the console tab. (This clears the console.)

Then you can try g$ and the background page should give some (hopefully useful) information about what's happening.

Thanks. Here's the output for g0 and g$, respectively.

checking keyQueue: [ g ]
main.js:722 new KeyQueue: 1g

Looks like our code is picking up alt-4 when you press the $ key. Do you use alt-shift-4 for a dollar sign?

[raine]

I'm on Mac, and press option-4 for dollar sign.

[mrmr1993]

Seems like we don't detect when the option key results in a printing character. I don't have a Mac, so I can only suggest workarounds:

• Use shift-4 instead of option-4 (assuming that also gives a dollar symbol).
• Map another key combo to the command and use that.

Sorry I couldn't be more help!

How are you getting option-4 to result in a $ character? I'm on a mac and
must use shift.

Well, I have a different layout. shift-4 is euro sign € for me.

No problems in vim, mind you.

This issue is not OS-specific, and it is true that some (how many?) European keyboard layouts have another character assigned to Shift+4.

Testing on Windows, with Danish keyboard:
Shift+4 => ¤
AltGr+4 => $ // AltGr is a special key, which is essentially the same as holding Ctrl+Atl together.

With that, g$ (g<AltGr+4>) doesn't work for me either.
I'm testing the WebStore version, soon can try on master as well, just to be sure.

P.S. It's time to introduce a label for "international" issues, this and #1387 are the candidates 😄

We should keep an eye on Chromium issue 227231: when it gets resolved, this should be an easy fix.
