Ctrl-[ seems to work for me

#82did you port ncurses using emscripten? This could enable bringing a large portion of GNU over to the browser as a cloud-based app. Stallman's nightmare, in other words.

#83This... Plus Gmail... Man that's fantastic. I have sent an embarrassing number of emails that end with :wq. Once you try Vim, it's really hard to go back. I also tried using mutt instead of GMail, and while it gets me 90% of the way there, the lack of graphical preview of attachments and things like filters and HelloSign make GMails web interface more useful.
Yep, I constantly have to delete jj at the end of emails. The cool thing about this port is that mapping seems to work. Naturally the first thing I tried was :inoremap jj , which I don't think works in codemirror + vim plugin.

Who uses :wq when you can use :x?

#87Very cool! I know code mirror had vim mode but this. This is something way more awesome.
Re: Vim.js - JavaScript port of Vim
#88I'm normally unimpressed by applications ported to javascript. However, this actually has me excited. I would love to be able to edit all my Dropbox text files with a web interface. If anyone here works for Dropbox, I beg you to integrate this!
If it's possible to integrate this with BrowserFS, you'd be all set: https://github.com/jvilk/BrowserFS/#browserfs

#89Cool. Now go build NERDTree and Ctrl-P and come back. Then I will use it
Re: Vim.js - JavaScript port of Vim
#90While this is impressive, I find it surprisingly slow compared to much more demanding applications with bigger code bases compiled via Emscripten. Any ideas why?
Well, I don't know what you mean by slow, but it could be the use of setTimeout() every 10ms to simulate[1] Vim's synchronous busy-wait is affecting responsiveness. Lu mentioned[2] on vim_dev that it was necessary to write a hack for this portion. [1] https://github.com/coolwanglu/vim.js/blob/master/web/vim_lib...

This also does not seem to be compiled with full optimizations, standard emscripten -O2 output looks somewhat different than what is here.
