Do any of these browser editor/online IDEs have any sort of Vim emulation? I'd be happy with just the basic keyboard shortcuts.

I know there are browser extensions that allow Vim emulation, but those are generally more oriented toward controlling the browser, rather than using an editor.

The editors based on ACE[1] have a vim keybinding mode. For example, you can toggle the keybinding environment in Plunker's settings pane[2].

The reason that you may not see this more often is that implementors of ACE may simply not expose the option.

Thanks! I'll have to look into it in the ACE-based editors. Since it's Javascript, I should be able to enable it even if the implementer didn't explicitly do so (unless they ripped it out).
