# Keymaps
The following descriptions are the default keymaps.
You can configure keymaps in the add-on's preferences by navigating to `about:addons` and selecting "Extensions".
In the following descriptions, Ctrl+x means "press x with Ctrl", and gx means "press g, then press x".
Some commands may be preceded by a decimal number, such as 3d deltes three tabs.

Vim Vixen can be configured to follow links opened in tabs in the background
instead of switching to a new tab immediately. To do this, you'll need to update
the config file: change the `"background"` property of the `"follow.start"`
action to `true`, e.g.:
```json
{
"keymaps": {
"F": { "type": "follow.start", "newTab": true, "background": true }
}
}
```
