Re: embedable vim?
either natively as (IIRC) kde applications do, or by means of an extensions (as seveal other posts mention doing for Firefox). Other browsers (such as IE IIRC) simply don't support any external editor. Shouldn't be that hard to tell AutoHotkey to copy paste the text to vim and back .. (windows only) Marc

RE: embedable vim?
A lot of suggestions have been mentioned, but I didn't see the mozex extension for firefox/mozilla mentioned. You can set an editor for textareas, view source, intercept mailto: links, and a lot more. http://mozex.mozdev.org/development.html -Original Message- From: Franco Saliola [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 16, 2007 9:26 PM To: vim@vim.org Subject: embedable vim?

Reading it with vim is harder, and if you really want to do that you will want to look into using the gmail pop3 with mutt. I think that you can embed vim with konqueror or something like that, but for the most part you should vote for that as a feature in vim. Currently it is #4. Hope that helps.

Using w3m, it's easy to use Vim to edittext areas. I shall assume that you are using a graphic web-browser and assume further that you are using Firefox. In which case then there a couple of extensions / add-ins for Firefox which you can use. My preference is: ViewSourceWith http://dafizilla.sourceforge.net/viewsourcewith/ Others like: It's All Text! https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/4125/ Both require a little configuration to tell them where (g)Vim is, etc. This was discussed on this list a little while ago http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.editors.vim.mac/127/. This isn't embedding /per se/, but it does help with email composition.

I'll create a tip if I figure out a good method. Well, if you have MacOSX Tiger, there's a freeware utility called Vi Input Manager: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/22864/vi-input-manager This lets you call a decent subset of vim in any text field in any Cocoa application, which inlcudes Safari and Camino (the latter is Mac-ified Firefox, in a manner of speaking). So long as you use a Cocoa-based browser to check Gmail, you should be able to do the most useful vimmaneuvers on your email. I have no idea if there are utilities like this for other platforms. -Greg
