itsalltext

> Come to think about it, I don't think it works as an "editor" in HTML text fields? There was "itsalltext"[1] (sadly defunct) - but there's an alternative (i just discovered - so I've yet to try it) : ghosttext https://github.com/fregante/GhostText [1] https://github.com/docwhat/itsalltext Ed: wasavi does enhance the text-area widget (wasavi is a browser extension) - so it does turn text fields into a vi-like editor.

I recently installed Tridactyl¹ as a Firefox extension². It has a ton of features but I my original intent was to only replace the functionality of two non-WebExtension add-ons: * VimFx³ provided handy keyboard short-cuts for working within the browser * ItsAllText⁴ which allowed me to use GVim to edit and save the contents of a text box While going through its builtin tutorial, I found that it also supports keyboard-based selection of text (similar to that shown in this article).

After years with orgmode and vimwiki, I went back to Firefox http://tiddlywiki.com/ + vim as editor with https://github.com/docwhat/itsalltext/ if you live in emacs then stay in orgmode or deft.el for speed if vim, vimwiki rsync is my friend
