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)

Anytime I end up in someone else's Vim editor the first thing I do is

    :imap kj
Worked fine here, felt super snappy too.

Or just use regular Vim and not think that everything needs to run inside of a web browser, especially if you value user privacy and computer resources.

Would be nice to be able to use vim (or any other editor of your choice) in web text boxes.

There is surfingkeys for chrome. You press `shift+I` to go into into insert mode.

Standard adaptation for touchbar Macs, too. I find it less of a disruption from the home row.

Caps lock is right on the home row.

Not as easy to remap keys though, on the iPad (keyboard cover) unless I’m not aware.

We have strayed too far from RMS's light

Who is RMS?

Someone from the era of short usernames on unix boxes, along with "esr" and "rob". To more directly answer, it's Richard Stallman. Known for the free software movement and emacs among other things.

Where’s the escape key on my iPhone?

I missed the lowercase i on first read. I'll comment anyway in case this helps others. Hacker's Keyboard from f-droid has an escape key. If using the compact layout you can get to it by holding the tab key. I think on the full layout it has a more traditional placement. I'm not sure what alternative keyboards iOS has.
