> Bypassing the Mouse.. I use Vimium in the browser. Vimium seems great for navigation. Is there any way to get vim keybindings inside text boxes? (I looked at 'wasavi' chrome extension which hasn't been updated in 8 years [0] and the website's down [1]) [0] https://github.com/akahuku/wasavi [1] http://appsweets.net/wasavi/

Looks like the last commit was in August 2017. I don't see it in Firefox's add-on search. https://github.com/akahuku/wasavi

You might like Firenvim or Wasavi: https://github.com/glacambre/firenvim https://github.com/akahuku/wasavi qutebrowser (and some others) also allow spawning vim from inside a text area, and reading the result back when the file is saved. I know Tridactyl can do it via its native messaging integration, but I suppose Vimium doesn't offer that.

I just did. There's an .xpi file in the releases page: https://github.com/akahuku/wasavi/releases/tag/v0.7.737

On OSX w/ Chrome I use wasavi[0], an extension that implements a nice subset of vim directly in the text area (much like OP's system, but not using actual vim). Works really well, better than other extensions I've tried that attempt to ~shellout to $EDITOR and then sync back to the input area. [0] https://github.com/akahuku/wasavi

I read this comment 20 minutes ago and tweeted about it. I came back here to provide a link to a browser plugin for vi keybindings and found many other people had also commented with examples- only different ones. Here’s another: https://github.com/akahuku/wasavi

I can recommend Wasavi, which is a browser extension that allows you to use Vim commands in most text windows you can edit. https://github.com/akahuku/wasavi I use it on a daily basis and although it's not Vim it's still pretty good.

If you just want a vi/vim toggle for your browser, wasavi[1] is what you're after. https://github.com/akahuku/wasavi

Wasavi does exactly what you want: http://appsweets.net/wasavi/ https://github.com/akahuku/wasavi

I use wasavi, https://github.com/akahuku/wasavi, which does exactly what you describe.

Reading your comment and looking at the proposed solutions, it made me think of an interesting browser plugin, and wonder how it could affect this issue, or if it could even potentially solve it to a certain degree. Wasavi. It's a plugin to emulate a small vim-like window on top of text-fields. You just Ctrl+Enter and it opens up, and when you save it (like vim with :wq or ZZ) it populates the field beneath it. It's quite interesting. I wonder if taking this approach to the extreme wouldn't make a difference? If all text fields were abstracted from the website and then the text sent in one stream, for all users. I unfortunately do not possess the knowledge to understand if this is plausible or absurd, but wanted to at least discuss it publicly. Edit: Wasavi on Github: https://github.com/akahuku/wasavi This behavior does also exist for tho
