Any plug-in support? Could I upload my vimrc to a server, then download it, apply it, and run :PlugInstall to get my vim setup in any web browser?

Unfortunately it's not working on my android phone with hacker keyboard (full keyboard with esc). There are also horizontal lines across the screen that should not be there.

I am impressed that

    :imap jk 
    :imap kj

works great. However it seems like outer and inner text objects aren't working at all. E.g. daw, ci)

sorry for being dense, but I can't seem to save files or do anything seemingly practical. Is there any practical use cases for this library, or is this purely along the lines of "Hey checkout this cool hack!"

Running on Firefox and `Shift` generates a `^P` character.

Where’s the escape key on my iPhone?

Try:

Ctrl and [

That should send the same as Esc (ASCII 27).

I seem to remember this working on a new iPad Pro keyboard.

Only if your plugins are Vimscript only

Would be even more awesome with plain nvi support :)

For the moment I'm going with hack.

I hope the author will work out some of these kinks so that it becomes usable !
