    Is it possible to use vi/vim as the code editor in WordPress?

    After lots of searching I found several links to editing posts in vim, but I am interested in using vim inside the WordPress code editor.

    considering that vi/vim is a shell based gui style editor, the odds of interacting with it through a web page are next to nil, unless you have some kind of applet that will allow you to ssh to the server.

    if you are reading posts about using vi/vim to edit, then they are probably editing directly on the server through an ssh style connection, not via ftp or a browser.

    True, it is a shell based editor but there is also a GUI version called gVim.

    At the moment I am editing with vi over ssh in a terminal; it would just be a little easier if there was a plugin with vi/vim key mappings.

    gVim is for gnome, it’s not web based, you would need some kind of java applet to be able to do direct interaction with the server on that kind of level
