Next, web-based vim please!

Many keys appear to be trapped in the browser making it impossible to use on Mac Safari. It would be cool if someone worked on a fully-fledged environment, worked out all the issues, and somehow integrated it with an existing infrastructure like Amazon S3 or packaged and distributed a client with a sandbox server side.

Cool, but Ctrl-N (move down) doesn't work (it opens a new page).

Maybe it depends on which browser you're using, but in Safari 5, when the main textbox/input box has focus, C-n works for me, as well as ESC for Meta. You may want to try giving it focus first?
