VI vs. Emacs, part N+1

July 26th, 2006 | General

Just enabled keyboard shortcuts in Gmail and realized they’re VI-compatible. Take that you Emacs fanboys! 🙂

Now, where’s the shortcut for ‘Delete’…?

AFAIK there is no delete shortcut and I’ve already mailed Google asking that 🙁

About VI x Emacs, emacs doesn’t need special keys just to move up and down, we’re sane enough… 🙂

You should install this firefox extension to add extra functionality (including delete).

It is a greasemonkey script. It was written by one of the guys that wrote the google reader interface (and you can see some similarities).
