FAQs

Does Firenvim work with all text areas and input fields on every website?

Firenvim aims to work with most text areas and input fields, but compatibility can vary. Some complex or custom-built web editors might not be fully supported. Users can often configure Firenvim to target specific elements or exclude others.

Can I use my existing Neovim configuration and plugins with Firenvim?

Yes, Firenvim leverages your local Neovim installation, meaning it uses your existing Neovim configuration, plugins, and keybindings. This allows for a consistent editing experience across your local environment and the browser.

What are the performance implications of running Neovim within my browser?

Firenvim's performance is generally good as it communicates with a local Neovim instance. However, very large text fields or complex plugin interactions might introduce slight latency. The browser extension itself is lightweight.

Is Firenvim compatible with both Chrome and Firefox, and are there feature differences?

Yes, Firenvim is designed to work with both Chrome and Firefox. While the core functionality is the same, minor differences in browser extension APIs might lead to subtle variations in behavior or setup between the two browsers.
