I love this extension. It is a great way to visually and quickly see all the Vim commands and get more information if desired.

This is great! I have vim console app on a Chrombook. vi is my favorite time=wasting toy. But What can I do to title a new vim file?

This extension has great potential. It's really useful for learning those extra Vim commands that you never knew. It's great that it supports multiple keyboard layouts as well. I hope to be a Vim expert with this tool at my disposal.
