First of all, awesome concept. This might just force me to stop using nano all the time. I'm curious though as to why the developer chose to limit the license to 6 months when charging a flat ~$5 per month might be easier to sell?

#12Slightly ironic: doesn't work well with the Vimperator add-on + Firefox, as Vimperator is going to consume the keystrokes (especially the most used ones such as hjkl). Great idea though (once you turn off Vimperator) :) !
Same here with Chrome's Vimium. Once the URL is excluded, it works fine.

#13People, if you are curious about Vim, just run the command below if you are on any UNIX-y machine:
$ vimtutor
That's really all you need. If you don't have Vim installed, just install it and run vimtutor anyway.Once you have got the basics right, no bullshit payware game or online drillings or online interactive tutorials will help you improve your skills. Only your accumulated experience, curiosity and willingness to learn will.

If the developer is here and wants a workaround there is a way to make the game work with pentadactyl/vimperator without disabling them. The h/j/k/l keys do not work in insert mode, so on page load focus in a hidden textbox and capture keys pressed in the textbox.

As a long time Vim user, I also found the book Practical Vim very instructive. Not really suitable for beginners though.
