Overview

Edit any <textarea> in Neovim: in a textarea press the shortcut (default (Ctrl|Cmd)+Shift+.), :wq to write the text back.

Have you ever been on a webpage that has a <textarea> but you wish it was neovim instead? Now you don't have to! This extension contains the entirety of neovim, compiled to webassembly, and running directly in the browser. If you have a <textarea> focused, hitting ctrl+shift+. will replace the textarea with a neovim instance for editing the text, and running :wq from inside it will close the neovim instance and copy the content back to the underlying <textarea>. This plugin is not associated with the official Neovim project. It is based on a fork of neovim that compiles to wasm: https://github.com/TyOverby/neovim/tree/wasm-chrome-ext/wasm/chrome-ext
