User Interface

posted by [personal profile] eftychia at 06:55pm on 2003-01-27

Argh! I keep trying to enter 'vi' commands when I'm editing a comment to someone else's journal in Opera. "[Esc]kk^wi" does not do the right thing in a text-entry box in the browser. (Hey, wouldn't it be neat if I could specify such behaviour in a browser config file / preferences screen / someplace?) As far as I can tell, the version of 'clive' I'm using is only good for posting entries, not comments. I should get around to installing a LiveJournal client that lets me do everything that I'm currently doing in the web interface ... but it'll have to do it all in ways that don't annoy me. I'm picky about my user interfaces.

Heh. I constantly run into this, and it's infuriating, especially when using ^w to delete a word (oops).

And, I use ^3 as my escape sequence instead of [ESC] when using vi, so if you see random 3s in anything I post... :)

I really think mozilla should have an option to make all text form fields into mini instances of vi (or the editor of your choice). That'd be keen.
