wasavi is a browser extension for Chrome, Firefox, and Opera that transforms any TEXTAREA element into a virtual vi editor supporting most vi/ex commands. It also offers an online app mode that can read and write files on Dropbox, Google Drive, or OneDrive.

Use cases

  • edit textareas with vi keybindings
  • use vi commands in browser text fields
  • modal editing on any web page
  • incremental search inside textareas
  • edit cloud files from the browser with vi

When to choose

  • you are a vi/vim user who wants familiar keybindings in browser textareas
  • you want modal editing without leaving the browser
  • you need ex commands like :wq in web text inputs

When to avoid

  • you don't know vi keybindings
  • you need a full standalone editor rather than textarea enhancement
  • you use a browser other than Chrome, Firefox, or Opera
