SketchyVim VS firenvim

However, I do look for projects that embed vim in other applications. Stuff like https://github.com/glacambre/firenvim, https://github.com/FelixKratz/SketchyVim, and the deceased https://www.onivim.io all embed real, actual (Neo)vim in text input fields and it just feels right

if you're on macOS, there's SketchyVim

there's a free, open source project that brings a Vim backend engine to macOS: https://github.com/FelixKratz/SketchyVim currently it's using libvim but a neovim port should be possible. the issue though using a Vim backend is that it's not adapted to macOS' buffer. so it will work only 1) if the text is readable and writable 2) moves like zz, L, etc. that play with screen buffers will not work.

With this nifty utility https://github.com/FelixKratz/SketchyVim you can use the power of vim in Safari, in Finder search boxes and a multitude of other places in macOS. It works by using a real vim buffer in the backend and synchronizing it with the system text fields via the accessibility API. It is super light weight and all vim text features are supported. If you enjoy vim as much as I do this utility might be worth a try.

That scratchpad idea with a global hotkey sounds like a solution that could work. I haven't tried it, but isn't that similar (functionality-wise) to https://github.com/FelixKratz/SketchyVim?

There is a much more capable open source version of this: https://github.com/FelixKratz/SketchyVim

I found this very powerful tool which enables vim bindings in most macOS text boxes: https://github.com/FelixKratz/SketchyVim. It is a

for leetcode specifically, i use firenvim to start a neovim session in the text area that would normally be leetcode's area and then have an autocmd that looks for "leetcode" in the filename and prompts me to select a filetype.

Yea worth it. As far as good for certain languages over others: text is text. Once you’re more experienced with how (neo)vim works, you won’t want to type anywhere. Like in the browser or obsidian

It's just the popular firenvim system: https://github.com/glacambre/firenvim

In that case give firenvim[1] a try. It uses your existing config (keymaps, plugins, autocmds, etc).

You propably could use https://github.com/glacambre/firenvim inside of overleaf webpage. Althought I haven't tested it.

https://github.com/glacambre/firenvim is the correct link.

If by everywhere you mean everywhere, then take a look on this https://github.com/glacambre/firenvim

In general, for "rich text editors", firenvim needs to add special handling. For example firenvim supports CodeMirror (or used to): https://github.com/glacambre/firenvim/pull/623

Do you mean something like this: https://github.com/glacambre/firenvim?
