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
