Have you heard of the "It's All Text" Firefox extension? It copies the content of any textarea to a tempfile and opens it up in an external editor of your choice. Writes to the tempfile are copied back to the textarea. It's not quite in-browser vim, but it's pretty close. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4125 https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4125

- xtho 17y agoI think we got it by now. Unfortunately, vimperator has quite a few quirks and makes too many changes that cannot easily be undone, which is the reason why I uninstalled it and moved to VSW.
- apotheon 17y agoI moved in the opposite direction, from VSW (which I used heavily for a while) to Vimperator.
