jsvi
has a finger-feel of vi, supports many ed/ex commands, is unicode-aware, supports real-time, check-as-you-type spell checking, a small subset of HTML for useful for physical markup of text, and host clipboard integration. Regarding vi compatibility,
jsvi
supports almost all vi-keys, and almost all ed/ex (:) commands including
:ha
rdcopy, and
:g//m0
but noticeably missing are
:i
and commands that work similar to it, as well as certain register operations. Regarding vim compatibility,
jsvi
supports vim's VISUAL and VISUAL-LINE modes for selections, and has support for a few of vim's motion commands, but for the most part,
jsvi
is a clone of vi and not vim. It is
not
based on the so-called "Rich Editor" that is built into modern Firefox builds, and MSIE, and as a result, works reliably on Safari and Opera. Some keys, are trapped by your browser, and as a result, simply will not function- these keys probably work in another web-browser. There
