If I need to edit outside my browser, I would normally just press Alt+Tab to switch to my text editor, type the text, then Ctrl+C, Alt+Tab, Ctrl+V. It feels about as fast and works with all web browsers and text editors.

plus you can have locally saved backups with http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Quick_save_to_a_temporary_file_bef...

Damn, I thought this meant Atom support on Chrome OS :( There still isn't a good text editor that does regex find and regex replace (caret doesn't).

Check out crouton (https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton). you can tab back and forth between chromeos and (l/x/k)ubuntu. Fully Atom-compatible

i'm more interested in the screenshots window manager.

having been forced on a mac recently... just the fact i can't move my windows with + is driving me crazy. and to add insult, the title bar that i have to hit to move windows is smaller then anything on browsers such as chrome and firefox.

I think that's i3. But it's Linux anyway, why would you be interested if you have to use Mac?

if you can't install/compile vim on your computer it is not a computer

Maybe you’ve seen the terminals T-Mobile/T-Online put up everywhere instead of payphones, which are basically payphones with WiFi hotspot and a touchscreen with webbrowser.

Every time I see a chromebook, I am reminded of those "Smart payphones", because they are as much of a computer.

This is also what is used to do, and I found it added some unneeded overhead, so I thought it would be easier to simply sync it.
