firenvim VS emacs-everywhere

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?

No. I do not have any single arrow combo in my workflow. For complex text editing I use this that gives me an emacs window on any text field. And if something, maybe like moving windows left/right up/down I remap the shortcuts to remove the arrows part and add the vim like keys hjkl

Not exactly the same but there is eMacs everywhere: https://github.com/tecosaur/emacs-everywhere

emacs-everywhere

Alternatively you might want to try Emacs everywhere[1].

If anyone is curious, I'd use the command in conjunction with emacs-anywhere to paste the contents on an Emacs window, and then paste it again on the text field with my edits. And yes, I am aware that atomic-chrome can do that, but it doesn't work with every website and I'd like a solution that does not depend on how any particular browser and website is coded.

What about those of us who'd like to use Emacs as an input method

Better solution: https://github.com/cknadler/vim-anywhere, for neovim users (and probably vim users) you can utilize some apple script as well: https://blog.schembri.me/post/neovim-everywhere-on-macos/. For those of you who want to try org-mode and evil, https://github.com/tecosaur/emacs-everywhere is awesome. And if you don't want to use an editor, a similar project (using Hammerspoon) is available here: https://github.com/dbalatero/VimMode.spoon
