Any plug-in support? Could I upload my vimrc to a server, then download it, apply it, and run :PlugInstall to get my vim setup in any web browser?

where would it store your plugins?

this is vim running in your browser, not some weird hybrid server-side vim thing that stores all your config files and plugins server-side in a per-user account but then transpiles them to wasm (regardless of plugin language) and sends them to the browser.

I thought I was getting stuck in insert mode, and I got fairly frustrated before realizing my Vim keybindings browser extension was grabbing ESC and keeping it from this weird browser-Vim. We brought this abomination on ourselves.

Same here.

This is absolutely incredible. I never thought this would be possible-- wasm opens a new phase of software development and deployment.

Or just use regular Vim and not think that everything needs to run inside of a web browser, especially if you value user privacy and computer resources.

Why does it completely freeze on :w foo ? It asks for ENTER or any key but that doesn't work at all at that point.
