tridactyl has a similar feature. It let's you break out the edit-pane content into a real vim/gvim editor (default <c-i>). There you have all your vim environment. I use this feature very rarely, e.g. when writing multiple lines in comments and I am in need of the editing power of vim. For simple text input I remain in the browser ui. Getting a vim-editor in all text inputs would be too much for my taste.

You might be interested to learn that Tridactyl and Firenvim use the same library to manage getting and setting text across the various JS editors https://github.com/glacambre/editor-adapter/ https://github.com/glacambre/editor-adapter/

  I appreciate all the work you and other maintainers put into Tridactyl as it’s the best extension of its kind so far. That being said Vim-in-the-browser still sucks to this day, especially with so many webapp sites that hijack browser shortcuts and never play nice with F-navigation. Is there a way to completely disable all regular browser shortcuts as well as all key event propagation to the sites themselves, and make Tridactyl the be-all-end-all handler for the keyboard?

    For websites stealing keys from Firefox, Tridactyl has some terribly named settings called `leavegithubalone` and `leavegithubalonekeys` If `leavegithubalone` is set to false (the default) and a website can steal a `leavegithubalonekeys` key from Firefox (usually /) then that is a Tridactyl bug. Unfortunately it is a Tridactyl bug that I do not know how to fix :) For Firefox stealing keys from Tridactyl, you can patch Firefox without rebuilding it as this intrepid bunch describe here https://github.com/glacambre/firefox-patches/issues/1#issuecomment-549145257 https://github.com/glacambre/firefox-patches/issues/1#issuec...

For emacs folks, you can use emacs-everywhere[1] to similar effect [1] https://github.com/tecosaur/emacs-everywhere https://github.com/tecosaur/emacs-everywhere

  Another option is the GhostText extension paired with Emacs atomic-chrome.el. I prefer that since it gives a live 2-way sync between a browser text field and an Emacs buffer, instead of going via copy-paste. Unfortunately it only works in the browser.
