About

Google Docs Vim brings the efficiency of Vim-style editing to Google Docs. (MacOS)

🎯 WHY INSTALL?
If you're a developer, writer, or power user who loves Vim, you know how frustrating it is to switch between keyboard-driven editing and mouse-heavy document editing. This extension lets you stay in the flow by using the same navigation and editing commands you use every day.

⌨️ FEATURES
- Modal Editing — Normal, Insert, Visual, and Visual Line modes
- Navigation — h/j/k/l movement, w/b/e word jumps, gg/G document navigation
- Half-Page Scroll — Ctrl+d and Ctrl+u for quick scrolling
- Editing — dd (delete line), yy/p (copy/paste), cc (change line), u/r (undo/redo)
- Visual Selection — v for character selection, V for full line selection
- Count Support — Prefix commands with numbers (5j moves down 5 lines)
- Customizable Cursor — Pick your favorite cursor color from the popup

📍 MODE INDICATOR
A visual indicator in the corner shows your current mode (NORMAL, INSERT, VISUAL) so you always know where you are.

🔧 EASY TOGGLE
Enable or disable Vim mode anytime with one click from the extension popup.

💡 PERFECT FOR
- Developers who write documentation
- Writers who prefer keyboard-driven editing  
- Anyone who wants faster text navigation in Google Docs
