My really cannot-live-without browser extension! I am using it all day for navigating both within and between pages, super-fast and absolutely no mouse in sight.

Wonderful. I am really looking for the ability to use Insert and Normal mode in a text box....

Really enjoying this a lot. I'm a returning nvim user and this extension is really nice to have to stay in that vim mindset. Thanks
