Vi implementation written entirely in Javascript
- st3fan 19y agoSick. But I love it!
- kilowatt 19y agoThat's pretty impressive. I'm no vinja but it had all the shortcuts I knew about.
- astine 19y agoIt traps all my key presses! I use Vimporator in Firefox and this kills my ability to do that. Maybe if there was a sort of meta-escape, that escaped you to browser shortcuts, but I didn't see one. Cool though.
- ojbyrne 19y agoThere's one in every crowd. It used to be legacy users, now it's people who emulate legacy users ;-)
- jrockway 19y agoNice. Someone should do an emacs just so we can see the look on Steve Yegge's face. Combining JavaScript, Firefox, and Emacs might make his pants a little damp, if you know what I mean.
- aston 19y agoI know what you mean.

- jcl 19y agoLooking at the source, you can enable an pseudo-emacs mode with ":emacs". There don't seem to be very many commands implemented for it yet, though.
- geocar 19y agoThere aren't. This was originally designed for an email client at http://demo.internetconnection.net/netmail/ http://demo.internetconnection.net/netmail/ and was originally going to be the editor for it. That is, "emacs" mode was going to be the default for people who don't know vi, not a vi-script that was trying to cater to emacs users. However, the textarea itself was fine, so it just became an option in the settings manager to "enable" the vi editor, and the emacs-mode kind of got forgotten.
- jmzachary 19y agoThat is so freaking cool!
