Hey!

I use kindaVim in Brave Browser, and every time I open a website that has Vim keybindings in an editor, kindaVim gets in the way of the editor (e.g. Code Sandbox).

This makes it so I have to press escape twice every time and really makes editing difficult on some editors.

Would it be possible to disable kindaVim based on a browser title matching text? in the case of Code Sandbox it would be CodeSandbox

If you want to try it out, Vim can be turned on on Code Sandbox in the editor settings:

Thanks for your consideration!

yeah, that's a very fair request. not possible currently in kV, and it's gonna be a massive undertake. very custom. i curate every app so that users don't have to do their own research. but here we're talking about TABS. that's a little insane, although from a user's POV that's a total fair request. so it would definitely make sense to implement this.

now, thinking out loud, what's the best UX?

  1. obviously i can't enforce the Off Family depending on a tab title, so users will have to do that themselves ☹️
  2. detection of browsers can be curated by me
  3. add an easy way to send a page title to kV's Settings (would require a new setting of course)? like what we do currently with apps?

the whole thing definitely feels like a fragile area. but again, the idea makes total sense.

btw personally i don't really have this need because i use Safari for my daily tasks, and Brave for coding. so Off Family for Brave, PGR for Safari. workflow is good for me.
