Vim

I get nothing but a blank white window.

All I get is a blank screen and can't even create a new file...nothing!

I'm a vim user but had to give up trying this version. Here are some issues I experienced after 5 minutes of installing: 1. Slow to load (it loads some stuff, I suppose because it's a non-native app) 2. Can't create new files. Have to use the OS dialog to choose a file to open. 3. Can't edit other files afterwards. Seems to be running in a chroot/sandbox w/o access to your files. Even saving the file seems to be a hack, saving to /tmp and then later that file gets moved to the real file. 4. M... Show more

New to the whole use of Vim, chose it for its use as a lightweight text editor. While it is indeed very lightweight, I realized that there is no way to access the files you make. 3 stars is a mercy here -- I know I can make a file in the explorer first, but I want to add my syntax highlighting. (Lightweight was a must; Chrome tends to run high on memory after running for a while and I don't like needing constant restarts. I wish that I could make my TeX highlightable, though...)

im new to vim and I was wondering why the red thing thats showing where you are would sometimes disapear.

It works...sort of... There is another Vim NaCl app available on the Chrome Web Store provided by avsej. It works much better than this one. For example, when I exit Insert mode and type 'A' to append to the end of the line, the text `--INSERT--` gets inserted on a new line, followed by a bunch of spaces to the column at which my cursor was located prior to the 'A' key being typed.

This app ist just emulating something that looks like Vim. But for typesetting, editing and everything, Vim is very good at you can't use it. The files are not saved trustfully and the .vimrc Configurations aren't saved. Im using a Pixelbook and I am glad that the Linux-App (Developer Mode at the moment) works. Still, this chrome extension looks neatly like Vim, and that is all it does.

I can't import my colorscheme into this application, and so did VIMRC file. Now you have to use it on your Chromebook very strenuous!!!!

Only giving this 4 stars because I still can't figure out a way to title a new Vim file. Anybody have a way to title a file? I love vi and vim --thanks for making this.

i cannot find my file after i input ":w xxx.txt". I cannot find it everywhere. I donnot why.
