Tridactyl's key feature is "native messaging".

A further alternative is https://github.com/brookhong/Surfingkeys. Its key feature is a javascript configuration - allowing you to bind arbitrary javascript to a key.



"Key feature", it is a great feature but it is "only" for editing with your editor of choice (vim,neovim,helix, etc.) right? Or am i missing something?


I think you've misunderstood, "native messaging" allows the tridactyl extension to interact with the filesystem and native applications: https://github.com/tridactyl/native_messenger


Oh okay i just installed native messenger today to use helix as my editor for textareas. Will look a bit more into it.
