This is absolutely incredible. I never thought this would be possible-- wasm opens a new phase of software development and deployment.

very cool, some of the set commands don't seem to work for me... set softtabstop for example didn't appear to work. also i might have a local setting but tab complete with set wasn't working... again probably local settings. and :w wtf didn't work :D seems to crash it. This is super cool

[update] ah i see from the readme write support is in the todo list.

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.

This is incredible. I think I needed this about 40 years when typing on a small Teletype (non-ASR33) without an escape key.

Does anyone know if lynx plans on supporting wasm? I'd like to try this editor in a terminal.

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!"

When I was working on the Sage Notebook, circa 2007, I made the best textarea-IDE I could... folks requested vim and emacs bindings but browsers just weren't ready. Heck, I wrote my own javascript console because iirc only Firefox had one at the time, I digress... I look forward to a vim plugin for the IPython notebook!
