I am an absurdly happy monkey, as I'm about to type :wq and close MacVim.

One note: it doesn't appear to work in the dev-version of Google Chrome on my machine. Having said that, Chrome and Chromium (the dev version) both seem not to play nice with the larger Mac OS (the clipboard interactions are a disaster, as an example).

Anyhow, thank you to the poster, thank you to the creator. Thank you Bram for Vim. Happy, happy monkey...

This sounds good. A similar tool is It's All Text! for Firefox (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4125). It lets me edit textareas with Emacs. It's only Firefox, but it's cross-platform.

No emacs support. :-(

I'm downloading the source now to see how to hack it in. Someone with Cocoa skills should be able to move that to a preference...it's ridiculous to only support autodetection.

But... it said my favorite editor anywhere. Why would they lie?

Text fields on Mac OS X support basic Emacs keybindings for cursor movement natively.

Yeah. But every once in a while I have to put something in a webform that would be made so much easier if I could use macros or rectangles.

This has more instant-amazement-factor than any software I've tried in a while. Not sure if I'll find myself using it long-term, especially since it doesn't work with Firefox, but still: hats off.

Anyone see a license in the git repo? I cloned it and did a text search for "license" and only see licenses in the deps. In main.m it says "All Rights Reserved".

awesome job, the developer is also the developer of TaskPaper which is very simple task management app. I highly recommend all his software

What did you do to get the key strokes to flash on the screen like that for your screencast?

Either Keycastr or Screenflow

Only for Mac? Shame :( Where's the Linux love :(
