kindaVim.docs VS vim.wasm

For MacOS there is https://kindavim.app/ which will turn any input text into a vim modal input text. I don’t fully use it all the time, but depending on your keyboard (I use the moonlander) you can set different layers to give you some motions that resemble vim. I find that is good enough for most cases.

However, I remembered a third-party application called kindaVim (Mac OS only) that I once tried.

I’ve been using kindavim, this looks more powerful though, gonna try it out!

https://kindavim.app/

https://kindavim.app/ - This option appears to be the most complete, although it is subscription-based and has limited documentation.

just took about three years of daily engineering:

1. Vim motions everywhere: https://kindavim.app

kindaVim. Vim motions all over macOS, UI and Text Elements: https://kindavim.app

You could have a look at something like vim.wasm and host your own solution.

I saw that there is an amazing project vim.wasm that looks like it would solve the frontend aspect of such an application, but thinking about how a user would validate that their keystrokes correctly transform the text seems trickier to reason about...

A while ago, I came across this amazing port of vim to wasm by rhysd.

Have you thought about giving more attribution to https://github.com/rhysd/vim.wasm somewhere? Outside of you comment in this thread, the only place I saw the link to that was via the :version command. (Edit: ok actually seems like you did reference it in https://vimmer.io/lesson/why-vim)

If you want a C back end, give https://github.com/rhysd/vim.wasm a look.

There have been some effort to port Vim to run on the web (see https://github.com/rhysd/vim.wasm) but I haven’t seen too much movement on it. I think it’s possible to build something on top of it to open Git repos but I’m not aware of any existing thing that does that already.
