vim.io

======

**vim.io** is a proof-of-concept real vim editor in the browser. Instead of

trying to implement vimscript in Javascript, it sends your commands to a remote

server running a headless vim instance which processes it and spits out the

content.

Dependencies

------------

* node.js

* coffeescript

* npm

* socket.io

* MacVim (with `mvim` command on the `PATH`)

Installing

----------

    $ git clone git://github.com/honza/vim.io.git

    $ cd vim.io

    $ npm install socket.io

Running

-------

    $ coffee server.coffee

    $ open index.html

Todo

----

* Implement auto-save and bring fresh content back

* Syntax highlighting

* Visual mode

* `Ctrl`-based commands

* Load custom `vimrc`

Issues

------

The vim `clientserver` can only be used when an actual graphical instance of

vim can be displayed. So, running the app on your laptop and having a Macvim

window open in the background works --- but not on the server. I'm trying to

find a workaround.
