About Vimium WhatsApp Helper

Vimium WhatsApp Helper makes Vimium work smoothly on WhatsApp Web by injecting the right ARIA roles so every chat thread can receive a keyboard hint. What it does: -Adds role="button" and tabindex="0" to each chat row, making it focusable for hint extensions. -Watches for new threads as you scroll or get messages and marks them the same way. -Requires no special permissions and runs only on web.whatsapp.com. 🔗 Source & issues: https://github.com/andrijasvrkota/vimium-whatsapp-helper ⚠️ Note: You must have the original Vimium extension installed for hints to appear.
