by Saber, 4 years agoThis is just one of the best extension that I've ever found. Works as expected! Currently the renderer is being rewrite, can't wait to see when it's released!

- Rated 5 out of 5by schoenix, a year agoNice, but one Feature Request: It would be nice to have an option to have it deactivated by default and only activate it for specific websites.

- Rated 5 out of 5by cassepipe, 2 years agoBeen looking for an extension that would allow vim editing in the browser for some time but now it finally exists !
It is a sheer pleasure to use.
By defaut the font will probably appear too big. Sadly the README of the project (https://github.com/glacambre) does not mention how to solve this issue. But on the issue tracker some solutions are proposed (https://github.com/glacambre/firenvim/issues/972)
Since the extension in using neovim in the backend, you should of course have neovim installed.
The `set guifont=my_font:h10` neovim option should solve the issue most of the time. Learn about the `lines` and `colums` neovim options too. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17658624, 2 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Amaraticando, 4 years agoAwesome addon! The best way to use neovim from within Firefox and I can do so on demand via a hotkey. Thanks.

- Rated 5 out of 5by pelle, 4 years agoUnbelievably, it actually works: vim (with local settings and plugins) in Firefox!
Seems to run fine alongside Vimium, after setting a keybinding to unfocus vim (however text box navigation labels seem to be hidden behind Firenvim). Works perfect on Hacker News but needs a bit of tweaking to play well with web apps like Mattermost.
Impressive! - Rated 5 out of 5by BanditHijo, 4 years ago

Developer response
posted 4 years agoFirenvim not taking over input fields is done on purpose. You can add input fields to the list of elements Firenvim should take over by changing the 'selector' setting: https://github.com/glacambre/firenvim#configuring-what-elements-firenvim-should-appear-on .
