#102This... 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.
Who uses :wq when you can use :x?
I save very often using :w. When I want to save and exit my brain is now hard-wired to do :wq. It would probably take a year for me to train myself to use :x, which is arguably just as slow since I have to reach down with my ring finger instead of up. Not saying anyone should switch, just that it would be hard for me to do so.

Oh man, this even has tabs!

#104Earlier quoted context omitted.
There are browser plugins that let you edit elements in your $EDITOR. I use "It's all text!" in Firefox for this purpose and it works well; the workflow is pretty simple: focus in textarea, hotkey to switch to vim, save & close buffer to switch back to the browser. (not affiliated, just a user). You do of course lose rich text formatting.
Anybody know one for Chrome?
I do not... Last time I looked was a couple months ago, and I didn't find anything.

#105Cool. Now go build NERDTree and Ctrl-P and come back. Then I will use it
You still use those?

You just made my day, m'am and/or sir.
