GitHub should integrate this into their site for editing files.

As should SO.

this is polished! salesforce should use this for the Apex platform.

Totally agreed. This would be great for Apex or any other place where you want a web based portal to your cloud based code.

Very cool!

More generally, this should be bundled into a js plugin like disqus or uservoice. I'd guess it would make sense on a lot of sites.

This should be implemented as a bookmarklet, or more preferably a userscript.

Aw, FF + Vimperator = no go. lol Neat app. I'm a total emacs nut.

Control+z will enter Vimperator pass-through mode and the site will work. Just hit escape to exit pass-through.

Super Dee Duper!

I cracked myself up when trying C-M-q using the Command (clover) key on my mac, which of course was seen as CMD-Q by the browser, which for you non OS X folks means QUIT.

You can map escape to something else in Vimperator.

Dear god, If you could combine this with a Google-docs-like collaborative editing feature, I could once again enjoy a life free of word processors, where the true meaning of Meta-Shift-^ could become known to the masses. That would rock. Just sayin'.

Funny you should mention M-^ as that was the first command I tried that wasn't actually implemented, but given that I'm halfway done with its implementation without leaving ymacs, call me impressed.

Incidentally, Emacs 24 removes the dashes from the modeline, so using Ymacs is almost a bit nostalgic!

Odd, I'm using "GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin10.2.0, NS apple-appkit-1038.25) of 2010-03-27 on gallifrey.local" and it still has the dashes on the modeline.
