VIMperator: To the EXTREME!

I've always wanted to use some sort of phrase that I would use if I were a sandy beach hobo, living in dirt on the beach of some continent somewhere. Did you see it? Wasn't it awesome? Well, in my own special crazy, it was. Anyway, on to the VIMPERATOR!

No, it's not some sort of weird kitchen appliance. And no, you wont find it shoved in the back of a drawer in your sisters bathroom when you were looking for "floss" (reads: moisturizer).

VIMperator is this awesome Firefox plugin that makes Firefox act like every geek-elites favorite editor, vim. (Don't say emacs, I'll cut you).

From the website description: "Vimperator is a free browser add-on for Firefox, which makes it look and behave like the Vim text editor."

Well isn't that what I just said? Wait, it gets better.

"It has similar key bindings and you could call it a modal web browser, as key bindings differ according to which mode you are in."

LIKE OMFG. IT IS MODAL. IT HAS THE CHANGES MODE WHEN YOU PRESSES THE KEYS.

Seriously though, it is damn awesome. Do you hate the looks from people when you use your mouse to navigate the internet? Don't like being labelled a windows user by people who can't see your screen? Using the ratpoison window manager? Then this plugin may be for you.

All in all, I liked it. But you have to be a hardcore vim lover to give this plugin the respect it deserves.

Vimperator can be found here.
