Firenvim Reviews and Details

Is Firenvim good?

Social recommendations and mentions

• Competitive Programming setup

  For leetcode specifically, I use firenvim to start a neovim session in the text area that would normally be leetcode's area and then have an autocmd that looks for "leetcode" in the filename and prompts me to select a filetype. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Feeling super slow...

  Yea worth it. As far as good for certain languages over others: text is text. Once you’re more experienced with how (neo)vim works, you won’t want to type anywhere. Like in the browser or obsidian. Source: over 2 years ago

• Vim Keybindings Everywhere – The Ultimate List

  In that case give firenvim[1] a try. It uses your existing config (keymaps, plugins, autocmds, etc). [1] https://github.com/glacambre/firenvim. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Question: Neovim plugin for overleaf.

• Show HN: Vim online editor using WebAssembly, storing files using IndexedDB

  Interesting about the security note and WASM re: the Neovim version. (see here: https://github.com/glacambre/firenvim) Does this open up an attack surface on users using vim/neovim? This page seems to indicate that neovim (and this) do not run in a sandbox already. Can anyone with more knowledge on this expand on that? - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Vim Compose - Edit mail and other input on webpages as markdown using vim

  What about https://github.com/glacambre/firenvim though? Source: almost 3 years ago

• A Vim-like interface for Firefox

  For Neovim users, see also Firenvim [0]. Which I've been using for quite a while now. [0] https://github.com/glacambre/firenvim. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• What does "Keybindings like Vim" mean (to you)?

  However, I do look for projects that embed vim in other applications. Stuff like https://github.com/glacambre/firenvim, https://github.com/FelixKratz/SketchyVim, and the deceased https://www.onivim.io all embed real, actual (Neo)vim in text input fields and it just feels right.

• Show HN: Using Vim as an input method editor (IME) for X11 apps

  Please checkout firenvim, which accomplishes this very useful trick in a site-configurable manner and is compatible with Tridactyl. https://github.com/glacambre/firenvim. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• it's not a text editor if i can't use vim bindings

  My favorite thing for this is the firenvim plugin which allows you to use your custom vim instance with your vim config for typing text in web browsers. Also I always make capslock a second escape key. I don't know how people use keyboards with the escape key super tiny and offset from all the other keys for vim. Source: almost 3 years ago

• it's not a text editor if i can't use vim bindings

  I use the office365 webpage with a vim editor plugin. Source: almost 3 years ago

• 💥 Noice.nvim: highly experimental plugin that completely replaces the UI for messages, cmdline and the popupmenu

  This looks like it would slot really nicely into use with Firenvim. Firenvim already offers an alternative to the cmdline, but this could replace all the UI components that don't work as well in a browser text box. Source: almost 3 years ago

• VIM vs NeoVIM?

  Neovim still takes the cake as it doesn't take 300 years to get editor-required features implemented and shipped. You can write your config in lua, which is way better than vimscript. AND you can use neovim in any text box in your browser: https://github.com/glacambre/firenvim (one of my fave features tbh). Source: about 3 years ago

• Neovim is now on our browsers!

  That means the app is not on our browsers. For that see Firenvim ☛ https://github.com/glacambre/firenvim. Source: about 3 years ago

• How can this vim dictionary be converted to lua

  Thanks, it's done just confused about this part. This is how it shows in the examples. Source: over 3 years ago

• You get in a time machine and go forward 5 years. What version of neovim is about to be released, and what features does it have?

  Firenvim embeds Neovim in the browser, Qnvim in QtCreator, VSCodeVim/VSCode-neovim in VSCode... Why aren't they good examples in your opinion? :). Source: over 3 years ago

• Use with External Editor

  Is it possible to either use an embedded Neovim instance as in https://github.com/vscode-neovim/vscode-neovim or https://github.com/glacambre/firenvim, or to tell Logseq to open pages in an external editor? Source: over 3 years ago

• How do you use anything else??

  I installed firenvim recently which puts a fully-featured nvim instance over any textbox in chrome/firefox. I haven't looked back since. Source: over 3 years ago

• Win-Vind: Become an instant ninja in operating Windows at the speed of thought

  At first I was jealous of the GUI navigation, but then I realized I don't use any GUIs other than firefox, for which there are plenty of plugins. The Vim emulation is pretty cool, the closest alternative I can think of is https://github.com/glacambre/firenvim, but I disabled it a while ago for being kind of clunky. - Source: Hacker News / almost 4 years ago
