| 2024-11-08 |  | | en | Would be great to also add support for word online. While the core is here and worth using, many common motions are missing which is a shame ({ {#}f{char} etc. |

| 2024-06-28 |  | | en | Delete doesn't copy to the clipboard which is a huge limitation, but really good work |
| 2024-05-31 |  | | en | Great plugin, would love to see this plugin extended to be able to work with office 365! |
| 2024-05-29 |  | | en | I have been eagerly anticipating this feature, and it truly makes Google Docs an ideal tool for writing! Thank you very much. I have a feature request: For the 'f' command, which is supposed to move the cursor to the next occurrence of a character on the current line, works well now. After moving to the first occurrence, i wish i could just press ';' to move to the next occurrence and ',' to move to the previous occurrences. I was having this issue where 'f' was not working at all, but i just reloaded my tab today and it started working. |
| 2024-03-22 |  | | en | Great product, as it is the only Vim extension on the Chrome Web Store that works for Google Docs. Overall, I would definitely recommend it, but it could use some other additions to navigation. - Using Control Keys for navigation, including Ctrl-E, Ctrl-Y, Ctrl-D, and Ctrl-U for moving the buffer up and down - Fix error where holding keys including 'h', 'k', and 'l' for Vim navigation opens auto suggestions for diacritics - Typing colon will open the option menu on Google Docs, acting as Vim "Command Line" - Fix bug where Vim Visual Line Mode within a paragraph will select the entire paragraph - Finally, additional features that the extension lacks (I understand that this is a new project) |
