GhostText

> 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 can't imagine it plays well with vimperator-style extensions, though.

Seems like a cool extension, will give it a try. Reminds me of the GhostText[1] extension I used to use for Sublime to sync an input field with my editor. [1]https://github.com/GhostText/GhostText

> I'm typing this message in a text box in my browser and I don't have access to vim https://github.com/GhostText/GhostText GhostText extension for chrome/FF and listed $plugin for $editor means you can live edit a browser textarea in $editor with text sent in real time to browser. Unfortunately, Google Suite(docs etc.) does not play nice and does not work. Worth checking out. Also for a more embedded vim experience: https://github.com/glacambre/firenvim

Awesome - thank you! That link didn't work for me, but this works: https://github.com/GhostText/GhostText

Relevant self-plug: I co-wrote an extension that does this between browsers and several text editors, it’s called GhostText https://github.com/GhostText/GhostText

As a fellow fan of It's All Text, I've looked into this a little bit, though I never got around to implementing anything. You're looking for the "Native Messaging" feature: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Na... I just checked the It's All Text github repo, and their suggested replacement is a thing called GhostText¹, which actually seems a good deal fancier that IAT ever was. ¹: https://github.com/GhostText/GhostText
