GhostText VS Surfingkeys

https://github.com/fregante/GhostText with a plugin for neovim, my editor of choice: https://github.com/subnut/nvim-ghost.nvim

> Come to think about it, I don't think it works as an "editor" in HTML text fields?

There was "itsalltext"[1] (sadly defunct) - but there's an alternative (i just discovered - so I've yet to try it) : ghosttext https://github.com/fregante/GhostText

Speaking of browsers, I use atomic-chrome with GhostText on the browser side. It happened to be the least painful way to edit text fields in "big" browsers.

The GhostText extension might fit the bill for what you're asking for.

Another possible solution is to use something like GhostText (https://github.com/fregante/GhostText) in the browser. However, this solution is unworkable because when you open up an email, all the nasty html shows up in the external editor.

https://github.com/fregante/GhostText works well to connect to most editors.

I don't mind posting it, but be aware it's not an Obsidian script, I use from the browser, using it from an extension called SurfingKeys

For the privacy-conscious interested in SK, it may be worth a read of this GH issue: https://github.com/brookhong/Surfingkeys/issues/1796

I empathise with the author wanting to make a buck but it's hard to reconcile the approach he took with the level of trust granted to this extension.

Was this issue about the bundled search hijacker resolved in some sort of positive way? I abandoned SurfingKeys as soon as I heard about that and haven't looked at it again. It'd be nice if that was all rolled back, but I switched to Vimium and haven't found it to be particularly worse, at least not for the way that I browse the web. The only thing that I've been missing is the vim-like text editor but, for me, that's a relatively minor feature; I don't write giant comments that often.

Moved from it in favor of more features that surfingkeys provide. If you know a little bit of javascript you can conquer your browser!

Tridactyl's key feature is "native messaging".

A further alternative is https://github.com/brookhong/Surfingkeys. Its key feature is a javascript configuration - allowing you to bind arbitrary javascript to a key.
