+Vimium - The Hacker's Browser
+=============================
+
+Vimium is a Chrome extension that provides keyboard based navigation and control in the spirit of the Vim
+editor.
+
+Installation Instructions:
+  1. Navigate to chrome://extensions
+  2. Click on "Load Extension..."
+  3. Select the vimium directory.
+
+The settings page can be found by clicking the Options button next to Vimium on chrome://extensions.
+
+
+Keyboard Bindings
+=================
+
+<c-x> is to be interpreted as ctrl + x together.
+
+Navigating the current page:
+  h       scroll left
+  j       scroll down
+  k       scroll up
+  l       scroll right
+  gg      scroll to top of the page
+  G       scroll to bottom of the page
+  <c-d>   scroll down a page
+  <c-u>   scroll up a page
+  f       activate link hints mode to open in current page
+  F       activate link hints mode to open in new tab
+  r       reload
+  gf      view source
+  zi      zoom in
+  zo      zoom out
+  /       enter find mode -- type your search query and hit enter to search or esc to cancel
+  n       cycle forward to the next find match
+  N       cycle backward to the previous find match
+  i       enter insert mode -- all commands will be ignored until you hit esc to exit
+
+Navigating your history:
+  ba, H         go back in history
+  fw, fo, L     go forward in history
+
+Manipulating tabs:
+  J       next tab
+  K       previous tab
+  t       create tab
+  d       close current tab
+  u       restore closed tab (i.e. unwind the 'd' command)
+
+Vimium supports command repetition so, for example, hitting '5t' will open 5 tabs in rapid succession.
