Add-on summary

Analyze keywords

Automatically and non-intrusively add a vi editing mode to all textarea/input elements on pages, so you can use vim keys/shortcuts to edit and navigate text. Inputs/textareas keep working as they normally do (like insert mode, handled by the browser), hitting "escape" enables command mode on the focused element, indicated with a box-shadow.

Features:

  • Simple, automatic, non-intrusive vi editing.
  • Command, visual and visual-line modes.
  • Plenty of commands/keys (but please contribute more!)
  • Multi-level undo and redo.
  • Repeat.
  • The tab key inserts literal tabs after having been in command mode, until the element loses focus.
  • Only basic addon permissions needed. (clipboard read/write permission requested on first use).
