novim-mode VS firenvim

I made a plugin to do this too! https://github.com/tombh/novim-mode

I'd never heard of OP's, I'm sure we can work together to share ideas.

Perhaps https://github.com/tombh/novim-mode can help. Check it out, it came up when I had posted this on Hacker News last year.

I actually maintain a plugin that tries to permanently keep (N)vim in Insert mode. https://github.com/tombh/novim-mode We've got over a 100 stars, so it's got some appeal.

There's also this plugin that makes Vim's keybindings default to a traditional behaviour: https://github.com/tombh/novim-mode

I'm in the curiously rare position of being a long time Neo/vim user who doesn't use its modal features. Namely I have all my keybindings setup like a "normal" editor, CTRL+S to save etc.

I say it's curious because I've always been surprised that Neo/vim is mainly celebrated as "that modal editor". Whereas for me I celebrate it as the most feature-packed and lightweight terminal editor. Neo/vim is sooo much more than merely its modal editing.

With this new release of Neovim maybe there's renewed interest in what Vim is beyond the stereotypes. I wrote a plugin a few years ago that intelligently disables Neo/vim's NORMAL mode [1]. It always seemed such an obvious idea when the majority of editors have their own plugins to intelligently enable Vim-style modality.

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.

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

It's just the popular firenvim system: https://github.com/glacambre/firenvim

In that case give firenvim[1] a try. It uses your existing config (keymaps, plugins, autocmds, etc).

You propably could use https://github.com/glacambre/firenvim inside of overleaf webpage. Althought I haven't tested it.

https://github.com/glacambre/firenvim is the correct link.

If by everywhere you mean everywhere, then take a look on this https://github.com/glacambre/firenvim

In general, for "rich text editors", firenvim needs to add special handling. For example firenvim supports CodeMirror (or used to): https://github.com/glacambre/firenvim/pull/623

Do you mean something like this: https://github.com/glacambre/firenvim?
