Vimperator's GUI
Although Vimperator offers the most frequently used Swiftweasel functionality via
Ex and Normal mode commands there may be times when directly accessing the GUI
is required. There are commands for accessing the menu system, standard dialogs
and the sidebar.
Menus
:emenu {menu}
Execute {menu} from the command line. This command provides command-line access
to all menu items available from the main Swiftweasel menubar. {menu} is a
hierarchical path to the menu item with each submenu separated by a period.
E.g. :emenu File.Open File…
:addo[ns]
Show available Swiftweasel Extensions and Themes.
You can add/remove/disable browser extensions from this dialog.
Be aware that not all Swiftweasel extensions work, because Vimperator overrides
some key bindings and changes Swiftweasel's GUI.

The status line contains several fields that provide information about the

-

progress messages are also output to this field.
-
History and bookmark status ([+-❤]): The position of the current page in

the total number of tabs in the current window.

as per Swiftweasel. The color of the status bar also changes to reflect the
current security status of the loaded page.

- blue – the site's domain has been verified and the connection is encrypted
