Well, not so much a pain as an annoying itch I can't quite reach.
When this is just a pain, why not just map ^A to your 1GVG<ctl-del> ? So this come back to the topic: If anyone approaching to emulate vim in a browser without actually calling vim, will it reads your .vimrc and to know you had mapped ^A to 1GVG<ctl-del> ? unlikely. Then I don't think it makes too much sense reinventing a vi-like inside javascript. ββ After all, javascript *is* slow and I cannot afford to pay the overhead in any serious application. In most web-sites, disabling javascript is just something like upgrade my CPU from P4 to Core 2 Duo. -- Sincerely, Pan, Shi Zhu. ext: 2606
