I have used SeaMonkey for quite a long time, recently I used a few
extensions for VIM-like keybindings on some other browsers and decided
it would be nice to have the feature on SM as well.
There were a few extensions for this available on the Classic Add-ons
Archive, including Vimium and VimFx, Vimperator. I wasn't able to get
VimFx working and Vimium by Minoru was pretty simple so I used it as the
base.

So far I have added a few more keyboard shortcuts and applied a patch[1]
to fix a minor bug where the keyboard bindings are also activated from
the address bar. The keyboard shortcuts are as the following (Mostly
copied from philc's Vimium) :

H : Go back in history
L : Go forward in history
K : Go one tab right
J : Go one tab left
t : Create new tab
x : Close current tab
X : Restore closed tab
j : Scroll down
k : Scroll up
h : Scroll left
l : Scroll right
gg : Scroll to the top of the page
G : Scroll to the bottom of the page
u : Scroll a half page (actually bit more) up
d : Scroll a half page (actually bit more) down
f : Open a link in the current tab
F : Open a link in a new tab[2]
r : Reload the page
gs : View page source
yy : Copy the current URL to the clipboard
yf : Copy link URL to the clipboard
D : Duplicate current tab

Additionally, I was unable to find a method to open a plain new tab, and
as I'm using the extension "Speed Dial & Start Page"[3] I hardcoded the
URL for this extension's new tab onto the 't' key's command. To change
this you can modify the 'overlay.js' file inside the unpacked
extension's 'content' folder.

You can download this from the attachment or 0x0.st[4].

I haven't done much, but after using this my mouse usage significantly
dropped and my wrist got better (haha) so I just wanted to share,
hopefully someone else also finds a use for this.

[2]: Depending on SM's configuration you may not get switched to the new
tab. To change this behavior navigate to "Edit -> Preferences -> Browser
-> Tabbed Browsing" and check "Switch to new tabs opened from links".
