- (2022-09-22) Piotr Kowalski: The only thing that makes me sad is that I should find it and use this extension long time ago ;-) Works stable and awesome. :colortheme=matrix :set fs (full screen) :set nofs (no full screen)
- (2022-07-11) Rehan Lalani: This is a life saver for Githup pull requests! Thank you for making this!
- (2022-04-02) Grady Fort: I love Wasavi! Thank you to the developers! I used to get annoyed with slow text editing in chrome to the point that I would open a blank Vs Code file just to have my vim key bindings. Now I can edit directly inside text boxes! What a time saver!
- (2022-01-05) Kevin Luu: Awesome extension. Super enjoyable and good to practice vi typing!
- (2021-05-28) Brendan Maguire: The only thing that makes me sad is I didn't find this tool earlier. Brilliant!
- (2021-02-24) cuppajoe man: Thank you!
- (2021-01-11) ぴろりん: vimerの夢が叶った感。最近はchrome上の作業が多いので何もかもvimキーバインドで作業が出来る。素晴らしい。 ダークモードが欲しい。
- (2020-12-17) Christopher Small: Very simple and effective.
- (2020-10-03) Moongi Hong: awesome Want to contribute
- (2020-03-27) Dalibor Bogicevic: It is great, and excellent combination with Vimium
- (2019-12-17) Vic Mortelmans: I don't use it often, but from time to time it's a great relieve being able to switch to VIM mode at will!
- (2019-05-17) Collin T: I often find myself writing python code in the browser inside jupyter notebooks, and the ability to use a vim-like editor to format text and complex expressions is an absolute life-saver. I've found the vim emulation of this plugin to be very good overall, and the ability to recreate some of my common mappings especially makes this plugin a favorite of mine. If you're familiar with vim and have to format complex expressions of any kind in the browser this extension is an absolute must-have.
- (2019-03-24) daniel anderson: it's just a pure bundle of awesomeness
- (2019-02-18) yingshaoxo's lab: Vim is a good tool for typing, really.
- (2018-10-30) Ethan: Wonderful one! thanks!
- (2018-08-11) Samantha Oldenburg: I'm in love
- (2018-08-08) Ferry Boender: It's not a full-featured Vi, but it does most of the things it needs to do, and it does it well. Even editing an email in the Gmail web interface works properly when you've pasted images inline. I'm impressed.
- (2018-07-04) Farzad Majidfayyaz: BRILLIANT idea. As other users have suggested, it would be nice to have support for more Vim commands, but still, very, very useful for me
- (2018-06-21) Rob Halbert: Very useful, but limited in number of supported vim commands.
- (2018-05-25) Arun Tejasvi Chaganty: This extension has changed my life.
- (2018-02-21) Etem Hyusnev: Perfect!
- (2018-02-01) Jun Shirasawa: すばらしいです。そもそもが、viのキーバインドで入力・編集ができるというだけで作業効率がどれだけ向上するか計り知れません。 完璧なviクローンになる必要はないと思います。現状でもすでに間違いなくなくてはならないツールのひとつです。 開発・保守を支援する方法はどうすればわかりますか?
- (2017-11-23) M: it just works
- (2017-10-19) Adrian Mullings: One of my favorite extensions! Does one thing, and does it well.
- (2017-10-18) Vitaly Zdanevich: How to increase font size? Please use event page instead of background page - do not eat my RAM all the time.
- (2017-10-02) Yusuke Ohta: 機能としては素敵です。 ですが、もうちょっと欲しい追加機能がございます。 ・WebブラウザのEvernoteの編集にも対応して欲しい ・AtlassianのConfluenceのページ編集でも使用できるようにして欲しい
- (2017-08-21) Ephrem Stuyvesant: This is very good. However, I can consistently break this by jumping to a line number greater than the number of lines in the buffer. For example, if my buffer only has 4 lines and I type 5gg, the app will crash, and there is no way of getting rid of it other than going into chrome developer tools and removing it from the DOM. (Any work done would also be lost.)
- (2017-07-14) Steven Ewing: Best option for vi keybindings in Chrome.
- (2017-07-14) Will Ockelmann-Wagner: Amazing for longer emails and comments.
- (2017-06-20) Eric Mink: first impression is neat! However, it breaks the syntax highlighting on codeboard.io, doesn't seem to offer syntax highlighting by itself, and I see no way to disable wasavi again except for reloading the page. Also, :set mouse=a would be nice ----------------------------- nvm, you can close just like you close vim, with :wq Make sure you do that before you try to do something with the text you entered. It seems like wasavi uses its own buffer
- (2017-03-23) Matthew Orris: A great addition to editing code online, I was able to use it in browser solidity.
- (2017-03-16) Masked Byte: cant figure out how to get rid of the vim window and apply changes to real text box once done
- (2017-03-10) Jason Balicki: It just doesn't work. Nothing happens when I press ctrl-enter or insert. It is enabled, but the icon is "greyed out".
- (2017-01-26) Theeranit Pongtongmuang: Really like this tool Thanks for creating it.
- (2017-01-09) Alexander Feterman: Gave me some issues posting on Facebook, but I'd rather have it than not.
- (2016-12-31) Michael[tm] Smith: Beautiful.
