This will also be very useful for those of us with iPads, who want to code on the go. :)

I'd rather code with a pen and paper than on an iPad!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Nice, but heads up: it doesn't play nice with Vimium (chrome extension).

If it was done in a similar way to vimperator there should be a passthrough mode (ctrl-z in vimperator)

In vimium you can press 'i' to go into 'insert mode (sort of)' which works similarly (albeit not as well as) vimperator's passthrough mode.

Adding the exclusion is probably the best route though.

I thought it'd be nice to make a build of Vim on NaCl. It seems like a hacked up version of netrw could just read and write directly to github/googlecode/whatever.

I was wondering about this too. But what good is being able to code in a browser unless you can actually [compile and] run your code somewhere? I can see how a browser-based editor could be great for editing JavaScript. But unless the browser also hosts or provides access to a platform for the language you're working in, what is there to be gained by coding in a browser?

Is there an easy way to access a terminal shell in chrome os?

Two ways:

* ctrl+alt+t (limited-functionality)

* switch to "developer mode" (hardware switch in battery compartment, erases all "personal information" when toggled)

Cloud9 IDE ( http://www.cloud9ide.com/ ) is a neat looking project. It's Javascript-centric right now but I believe it will be more generally useful.

This project is pretty active on github

Bram Moolenar works for GOogle, why won't Google Develop a text editor cloud of vim with realtime collaborative feature it would be great for Chrome OS also.

I've never used github so this is my first foray into using it and it is down! Does that happen often with github? I've been unable to clone from it (or even connect to the website) for a few hours now.
