Features & Capabilities

Vim Compose allows you to use the vim text editor to compose and edit text in input fields. To open vim in an external window, simply focus on an input field and either press Ctrl-Space or click the Vim Compose extension button in the toolbar. Any text you save in vim will be automatically copied back to the input field in your browser. If the input field supports formatted text, you can also use markdown for formatting.

Please note that Vim Compose is currently only compatible with Linux systems and requires the installation of a native app. You can find installation instructions for the native app at the following link: https://github.com/mbid/vim-compose

Is Vim Compose Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Vim Compose requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Medium Facilitates communication between extensions and native applications, usually low risk if managed correctly.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Vim Compose is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
