Input Vim

About

Vim keybindings for every text input, textarea, and contenteditable element in the browser.

If you use Vim, you know the pain of editing text in browser inputs - reaching for the mouse, memorizing OS shortcuts, losing your flow. Input Vim adds a lightweight Vim layer on top of any text field so you can stay on the home row.

FEATURES

-- Four modes - Normal, Insert, Visual, and Visual Line
-- Full motion system - word (w/b/e/W/B/E), line (0/^/$), find/till (f/F/t/T), search (/term, *, n/N), document (gg/G, Ctrl+D/U)
-- Operators - delete (d), change (c), yank (y) - composable with any motion or text object
-- Text objects - iw, aw, i(, a{, i", a', i[, a< and more
-- Count prefixes - 3w, 5j, 2dd - repeat any motion or command
-- Undo/Redo - per-element undo stack independent of the browser
-- Visual overlay - mode badge, block cursor, and pending command display
-- System clipboard sync - optional yank/paste with OS clipboard
-- Configurable - start mode, bracket matching, tab size, yank highlight, scroll jump size, always-centered mode, and site exclusions

WORKS WITH

-- <input> fields (text, search, url, tel, email, password)
-- <textarea> elements with multiline support
-- contenteditable elements (GitHub, Notion, rich text editors)
