I am looking for a browser plugin which inputs textin of input boxes with the same keyboard interface of the Vim text editor. I have adopted Vimium which makes general navigation much more effective, however I often find my self wish I had the Vim interface while I have selected an input field (like while I'm creating this post). I would very much like to be able to navigate the text in the same way I edit file with the vim text editor and I am curious if such a plugin exists?

The Pentadactyl and Vimperator addons for Firefox allow vim-like editing in text areas by pressing As far as Chrome goes, it's not as easy, as the API is quite limited. They require you to run a server on your system. There was TextareaConnect, but it appears to be broken right now. |

If you're using Chrome, I recently release an open source Chrome extension called Vimsert. It'll let you edit any textarea within the Ace editor's vim-mode. |

If you want to transform a textarea into a vim-like code editor, this bookmarklet allow you to transform any textarea into an ace by clicking three times on it. It support vim and emacs keybindings. You can select these at the bookmarklet creation page. |
