Re: Wasavi – Vi editor for any webpage
#22Does anyone else us Tridactyl for firefox? I was using it but I stopped for some reason, I might give it another go. I think it had a few annoying bugs so I stopped using it. Come to think about it, I don't think it works as an "editor" in HTML text fields?

There was "itsalltext"[1] (sadly defunct) - but there's an alternative (i just discovered - so I've yet to try it) : ghosttext https://github.com/fregante/GhostText

Ed: wasavi does enhance the text-area widget (wasavi is a browser extension) - so it does turn text fields into a vi-like editor. I can't imagine it plays well with vimperator-style extensions, though.

If you have Tridactyl's native messenger installed you can launch an external text editor with Ctrl+I when inside a text box.
There is also Firenvim which embeds real neovim instances inside text boxes.

#25Earlier quoted context omitted.
If you like Vimium, try qutebrowsers or Luakit, where keyboard is a first-class citizen that works everywhere and is not dependent on JS injection. May have a learning curve (took me about 3 days to get functional.) https://www.qutebrowser.org/ https://luakit.github.io/
I wanted to like qutebrowser, also for the minimalist interface. But not supporting ublock is a showstopper for me. Is that still the case?
I don't think it supports ublock but it does have an integrated AdBlock now. It's based on the library Brave used and supported ABP style block lists.

Just to share my own experience of trying to make this my daily web driver, both these solutions are using webkit, and webkit behaviour is not exactly perfect and can be a real pain to update. Same issue with Nyxt, which I very much wanted to use. In the end I went for Trydactyl which give the best of both world: a web browser that works, with a decent ecosystem for extensions (lack of ublock is very quickly felt, even if yes there are some alternatives but... not as good and simple) and a powerful interface that you can mod to your needs, vim or emacs shortcut can be used.

It has an integrated ad blocker, which is good enough for me.
You have to run :adblock-update once to enable it.

If only this would work in Safari. :/
I remember switching to Firefox for it and loving it. But Safari gives me like 3-4 extra hours on an M1.

I made Homerow, it's the same idea as Vimium, but for the entire macOS user interface. https://homerow.app
This looks very similar to shortcat https://shortcat.app/, can you tell me what your program offers that the other one (free, but also not OS) does not?
On an unrelated note, I made the same thing (barebones), but for Linux and theoretically also Windows: https://github.com/phil294/vimium-everywhere

Tridcatyl is the reason I keep coming back to firefox, I don't even think the level of customizability it offers is even possible on chromium browsers
