Description from store
Vimable is an Extension for Chrome that gives users the text processing capabilities of Vim, in their browser. It enables fast text processing and browser navigation all with the aim of increasing productivity for developers, technical professionals.
This is a project that I am developing for a college project, and will be open sourced on git hub once the college semester is over. Feel free to leave feedback, any suggestions/reports of bugs are appreciated.
Lastest Features:
- Expanded command support in Normal and Visual Mode.
- Click Vimable browser button to toggle the extension on and off.
- UI prompts added to indicate the current mode. (A badge over the browser action button)
