You'll rarely run into any errors from the switch but if you do, go ahead and ask about it in the IRC channel (#pentadactyl on irc.oftc.net)

Also - if you'd like lettered keys, try setting the following option in your .pentadactylrc:

set hintkeys='ASDFGHJLK;"

You'll lose the ability to type the hints' text to hit them.

My .pentadactylrc file is linked at the bottom of the post but if you missed it - https://github.com/mattsacks/dotfiles/blob/master/pentadacty...

If you read the post, I detail how to allow keyboard shortcuts per website to pass through the addon and go to the website.

Look for ":set passkeys"

It is - the way you enter passthrough mode for domains in Vimium vs. passkeys for Pentadactyl is what makes the difference for me. Being able to still use the plugin when I'd like to and when I don't is perfect.

I suggest you start with vimtutor. It's a great introduction.
