I'd like to be able to use vi keybindings in the Chrome JavaScript console (cmd-opt-J in OS X, ctrl-shift-J elsewhere, I think). Basically, I want to be able to hop around and edit like I do in vim.

I use vi keybindings all over the terminal, such as irb, bash, python, mysql, sqlite3, etc. and I find them great for quick interactive development. (All those programs use GNU readline, so they respect my ~/.inputrc.) Currently, Chrome is one of the few places I can code but not use vi keybindings.

Any extensions or settings I can use for this?

  • Do you want this for OS X or Linux?

  • OS X, in my case.

  • I might even be happy if node used GNU readline... but it doesn't. :(

Vi Input Manager can do this for all Cocoa applications. I've used it a few years ago. I don't know if it works on Snow Leopard though (if you're using SL, you didn't say) unfortunately.

Alternatively, you can experiment using the Cocoa Key Bindings system. There's a vi-line key bindings file that you could try to use.
