That popular Unix and Linux text editor
known as Vi is now the proud brother of
an online clone that should run in most javascript enabled browsers. It's called jsvi, and now you can write your own programs and HTML code from anywhere!
Such remote locations include but are not limited to:
- your local library
- the internet cafe down the street from work
- your aunt's house
- those weird McDonald's locations with internet computers inside
- the boss' laptop
- Russia
On a more serious note, the Vi simulator works with nearly all the traditional keys and substitution commands, and you can copy/paste from the clipboard. It also includes a built-in spell checker for those long-night moments when you've stared a word for too long and can no longer remember how to spell it. Does that happen to other people, or is it just us?

Wow, I thought the spelling thing only happened to me!

I can't believe someone made a javascript version of Vi. I'm fully disturbed now. NO ONE should even want to attempt to duplicate the chaos that is Vi.
:q!
