This project is an experimental fork of Vim editor by @rhysd to compile it into WebAssembly using emscripten and binaryen. Vim runs on Web Worker and interacts with the main thread via SharedArrayBuffer. The goal of this project is running Vim editor on browsers without losing Vim's powerful functionalities by compiling Vim C sources into WebAssembly. Almost all Vim's powerful features (syntax highlighting, Vim script, text objects, etc.) including the latest features (popup window) are supported. Drag and drop files to browser tab opens them in Vim. When opening it, it opens tryit.js example JavaScript source code. Basic usage is described in comments at top of the file. Example source contains min-heap data structure and heap sort algorithm. Enjoy coding! And :% runs the code in your browser.

Features

  • Clipboard register "* is supported
  • Drag and drop files to browser tab opens them in Vim
  • vimtutor is available by :e tutor
  • Add arg= query parameters
  • Since Vim is running on a browser, your local file is not directly accessible
  • Vim will immediately open the files in Vim
