Vimperator

[marcmagus]

Vimperator is one of the coolest things I've seen in a long time, and that's saying quite a bit. It's a Firefox extension which uses vim-like controls for controlling the browser. It looks like I can do most tasks without having to take my hands off the keyboard, once I learn how it works. And, in proper fashion, it supports custom keymappings so you can put commands where you want them.

Now if I can only figure out how to get vim (or something with controls like it) within a text box in Firefox so I don't have to edit outside and paste...

It's All Text is an extension that will let you run a command to edit text. Just tell it to open up vim inside urxvt and you're all set.

Nifty, thanks. That looks like it'll do the trick. (Great, your saying that convinced me to try out urxvt, where I'd just been using uxterm before. Now I'm going to lose a whole bunch of time learning to configure urxvt to my liking, although it looks like it'll be worth it in the long run.)

Any suggestions for a hotkey?
