This should be simple fairly simple to explain:
Even though the Vim front is well covered by things like Vimium
, Vimium+
and qutebrowser
(and it would probably be too much trouble to create a Vim mode for Tildes' text fields - especially when wasavi exists), Emacs-like keys might be a great addition for some people. Tildes seem to have a high number of Emacs
and command-line
users right now. I frequently find myself hitting keys such as:
C-p
previous-lineC-n
next-lineC-m
for returnC-a
to move cursor to the start of the lineC-e
to move cursor to the start of end lineM-d
to kill wordC-k
kill lineC-u
kill backwards lineC-b
to backward charC-f
to forward charC-b
to backward charM-f
to forward wordM-b
to backward wordC-w
delete-backward-word- not a default Emacs keybinding but it's on readline and I think it makes sense
And so on.
There are, of course, alternatives such as Emacs Anywhere and Atomic Chrome, but they require an Emacs daemon to be running and are not a good alternative for quick edits since which switching to another editor is not practical.
So here's my suggestion!
