> this text box, etc.

I always keep a GVIM window open so that I can type text there and then paste those into other places that are not vi.

It also helps that vi is a lot more stable than certain websites and is less likely to lose my text. It's nice to be able to just copy&paste without having to re-type the same text when browser crashes.




As always, the Emacs experience is better: https://github.com/zachcurry/emacs-anywhere

It's literally inspired by vim-anywhere.


I know. I use vim-anywhere because I never bothered to set up Emacs Daemon.
