jsvi is an Online Vi Editor

If you saw Adam’s recent Hive Five roundup of text editors, you might have noticed that Vim, a child of Unix/Linux favourite Vi, still carries a lot of favour among coders and back-to-basics text workers. Now you can try out Vi and all its shortcut/macro goodness online with jsvi, a JavaScript-written clone of the basic Vi interface. It’s obviously focused on code, carrying substitutions and spell checking for the most common languages, but it’s a fun place to try out coding for newcomers, or for programmers to do a little quick hacking when they’re away from their systems.
