Features

Full VIM Keybindings

Navigate with hjkl, use word motions (w, b, e), jump to line start/end (0, $), and move through the file with gg and G. All the VIM motions you rely on work in your browser.

Modal Editing

Switch between Normal, Insert, Visual, and Visual Line modes. Use operators like d (delete), c (change), y (yank), and p (paste) with motions and text objects for powerful text manipulation.

Macros & Registers

Record macros with q, replay with @, and use named registers for complex editing workflows. Automate repetitive edits just like in terminal VIM.

Ex Commands

Use the command line for :w (save), :q (quit), :s (substitute), :noh (clear search highlights), and other ex commands. The status bar shows your current mode and pending commands.

30+ Language Support

VIM mode works with all supported languages: JavaScript, Python, TypeScript, Go, Rust, Java, C++, Ruby, and more. Syntax highlighting, bracket matching, and auto-indentation complement VIM keybindings.

Toggle VIM Mode

Switch between VIM mode and standard editing at any time. Try VIM keybindings risk-free — if you prefer standard shortcuts, toggle back with one click.
