Awesome app, and it looks like you put in a lot of effort into packaging too.

#52A lot of web apps also use vim-inspired keyboard shortcuts, for example Gmail, Twitter, Reddit.

I'm not telling you how to monetise your project, but here's a thought I've had in the past regarding a hybrid of these schemes: simply make a written commitment to open source the project after X amount of purchases.
I was thinking about this too. I just want to recoup some of my time investment. My only concern is that it'll make some people not buy in hopes that they can wait for others to pay - but I suppose those people would probably just use Chrome/Firefox with free plugins anyway.
Thanks, I'll think more about this. I think it'd also give people confidence in the security of the code - running browser extensions is a little scary since they technically have access to everything. As a customer, knowing that it'd be open sourced would give me some peace of mind that it's not doing anything malicious.

#54"Vim modes" only offer like 40%-60% coverage of features in IDEs. I haven't found one yet that lets you set marks with :k[letter]. Jetbrains (and maybe viper) are the only ones I've found that support block modes. "Vim mode" means a lot more than just using 'hjklioaD^['. It would be fairer to call them "nvi modes".
Evil mode in emacs is pretty damned close. Biggest painful diff is that emacs regex isn’t as powerful as vim.
There is a package that uses python for regular expressions, which gives you the full pcre power: https://github.com/benma/visual-regexp-steroids.el/

#55The one of these that I've come to adore the most is the ranger file manager. I almost never use any GUI file managers (or command line tools, for that matter) for file management after starting to use ranger seriously. It's so fast and works exactly the way I want it to. I've also hooked my terminal up such that I'm cd'ed into whatever folder I last navigated to in ranger (I use the alias `rd` for this), so I virtua…
I use ranger as well, when pared with tmux it makes a very powerful tool. with a nVim socket running. When I press enter on a file, it opens in a new tab in nVim and tmux changes focus to the vim window. If I want to lint or run a file, the appropriate key bind runs the command in the 'debug' or 'lint' pane in tmux with the file as an argument.
That was the key that finally made my tmux/vim editor situation into a full blown IDE.

A different consideration is people's motivation to pay, and longevity is one aspect of that - buyer's confidence.
I paid money for an extension that promptly became unsupported and then died in an upgrade. Which is fine, whatever, but it did put a big question mark over the category of "paid browser extension" for me.
Knowing the source will be out there would fix that part for me - I may not be able to take over dev, but I could at least try to fix things that break until I find a replacement.

Ever since I started using vimium, it's become a need for me. It's the reason I don't use safari despite its better performance on a macbook. Weirdly enough, none of the people I've tried to convince to use it has stuck with it - all very tech literate people.

I am interested and am also rebuilding vim from https://github.com/flippidippi/sVim for new Safari.
Yours looks great assuming it has all features of sVim and smooth scrolling with jk
Also the link hinting, can you please make it same as sVim with yellow background so it's easier to read.

Thank you. Looking forward to the release.

#58One of my side projects is a canvas-based graph editor with vim-like controls: https://troywolters.com/modal-graph-editor/
It’s very basic, missing a lot of features, and likely buggy, but I’ve had fun making it and using it.
It saves to and loads from localStorage, so you can use it without an account and save and load graphs on the same machine.

#59In the graphical browser category, I have tried Qutebrowser and it is neat. However, Firefox remains as my primary web browser. I use the Vimium plugin with Firefox. It provides Vim-like key bindings for many commonly used browsing tasks. My most favourite commands in Vimum are 'f' and 'F'. The 'f' or 'F' command creates key combinations for all the links found in the page. It highlights the key combinations in littl…
Same here - I used qutebrowser exclusively for a couple months, but in the end I couldn't handle all the annoying popups and autoplaying videos in modern websites - all things that you can block with a single plugin in Firefox, together with ads. Too bad, because Vim plugins never allow full UI control in Firefox(e.g. closing an empty "new tab" is impossible with Vim plugins). Recently I switched from Vimium to Surfi…
I get around this with qutebrowser by whitelisting JavaScript.
Re: Big Pile of Vim-Like
#60Why isn't the vi editor in there? It's at least as "vim-like" as bash or tmux.
Vi isn't Vim-like. Vim is Vi-like.
