         | You can set vi keybindings.

         | looks like someone has already implemented this:

         | 
         | I'm curious to try it but I'm not well-enough versed with nyxt

         | Why replicate a PDF reader in-browser when it would be really
         | easy to hook it up to pass PDFs to a plethora of system

         | 
         | As for integration with org/roam, I agree -- there's a lot of
         | potential there, and it's at an ideal stage for people to get
         | involved and experiment with a variety of approaches.

           | the reason for pdf integration is precisely integration with
           | org/roam. i read a lot of pdfs and emacs pdf reader does not
           | do smooth scrolling, which is a bit of an annoyance. having
           | this feature available will solve that. plus nyxt has awesome
           | page searching capabilities

             | I have had this[0] bookmarked for a while now, never got
             | around to setting it up. Maybe this can be helpful (there
             | do seem to be some quirks according to the readme).
