Firenvim is a browser extension plus Neovim plugin that embeds a Neovim client inside Firefox and Chrome, replacing textareas with a full Neovim editing frame. It is installed as a regular Neovim plugin and paired with the browser addon from the extension stores.
Use cases
- edit textareas in the browser with neovim keybindings
- write github issues and comments in vim
- use my vim config for web form editing
- replace browser text boxes with a real editor
- compose emails in the browser using neovim
When to choose
- you are a Neovim user who wants vim editing everywhere in the browser
- you want to edit long web text fields with your existing Neovim config and plugins
When to avoid
- you don't use Neovim or want a standalone browser editor
- you need support for browsers other than Firefox and Chromium-based ones
- you are uncomfortable with the security model described in the project's SECURITY.md
