Is there a way to integrate vi editor with Google documents? Basically it should work like this:
Open vi editor on one machine and type the contents.
The contents typed on the vi editor should be displayed on the Google docs [which can be viewed on another computer]
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks!
Can you install googlecl? You can edit a google doc using Vi with a command like this:
$ google docs edit --title "Document Title" --editor vi
You can find more information on this here.

I have tried to search online and there was this editor called "Atom". I have never used it before. Is it any good? I have used gedit, sublime text, visual studios and QtReader. I want a text editor like QtReader or visual studios( which shows file directories on the side of the screen) to edit text files from Git bash. Can I install QtReader or VS code for Git bash? If so how?
Thanks in advance.
Though this is not a relevant question but for terminal based you can choose from vi, nano or emacs and for app based you can choose from vscode,sublime text, ruby mine(if working on ruby projects). It's totally a choice based decision.
Which text editor allows to search all files in the project, without a need they to be opened?
For example: When I'm using Visual Studio and I open project Ctrl+F allows searching into all of the files in the current project. That's for ASP.NET projects.
I want to be able to search in my PHP project. I'm using NotePad++, but when I want to search into all the files, I need to open all of them first, and after entering the phrase to choose Find All in All Opened Documents. But now my project is getting bigger and bigger, and I want to be able to search into all of the files, without need all of them to be opened as a tabs.
Is there such an option in NotePad++? If not, can you recommend me some text editor or IDE that allows this type of searching in normal PHP project(and how that can be done)?
the function is just in front of you:
Notepad++ offers the "Find in Files..." Option in the search menu. (It is just the third tab in the usual search dialog. )
Just enter the correct filter (e.g. *.php or *.*) and use the checkboxes on the right. Most useful is "Follow current doc", which preselects the "Directory" selection. Depending on your project layout you want to enter a constant path there and also check the "In all sub-folders" option.
I really miss the ease of this notepad++ function in eclipse. For me this IS "grep for windows". And you have also replace functionality, so this can be a "sed for windows" replacement, too.
With best regards,

what operating system are you using?
In most Linux distros you could use the command line with something like this
grep -rnw ./haystack/* -e "needle"
Long ago, I was using the hack given in http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/VimTip805 . This hack allowed me to edit any active window frame using gvim. For instance, I was able to edit my gmail replies using gvim.
Unfortunately, the hack does not work to me any more. Is there any other way to achieve the same? Or at least to achieve the same using some concrete browser (for example, firefox)?
Google Chrome
you can use GhostText with running server vim-ghost. Its not ideal, but allow to interactively use external editor (text is automatically copied to a web textarea element each return to normal mode).
Vim-ghost is written in tcl so you need install tcl.
In my case I have tcl installed but without standard library tcllib. So I found lacking packages in tcllib (tcllib/module/sha1 and tcllib/module/json) and copy them to a folder listed in tcl path (the first result of echo $tcl_pkgPath). More info: man pkg_mkIndex or here.
Of course vim-ghost server must be run (eg. in autorun script):
~/.ghost-text-server.tcl &
You can also like Vimium to navigate through web using links, tabs, j, gg and many vim-like features.
You should check vimperator( pentadactyl, which is a fork of vimperator). They offer the ability to edit text boxes, but also offers several additional functions that allow you to control firefox in a similar way to Vim.
If you prefer Vim only for edit text boxes you could try the firefox plugin "It's all text", as mentioned by Kent.
I'd recommend It's All Text plugin for Firefox.
Forgive me if this is has been answered. I have looked around, but didn't find anything.
I am creating a site for non-techies and it requires them to be able to add rich text content. I have been looking at Markdown for this, and would like to use that.
I have been searching around for a nice (jquery) ui control to make editing simple, but everything I have looked at has the live preview living somewhere else on the page other than the input box. (WMD is like this, markitup, etc..)
I would like to use something that makes it feel like you are using a word processor. Like how TinyMCe does it, but running on Markdown, not HTML
Is there anything like that, or maybe somewhere that shows how to build it?
To clarify, I'm looking for an editor that makes it feel like you are typing in the live preview; not a textbox with a preview above/below.
If I get what you're looking for, then the simplest approach would be to generate HTML with TinyMCE or CKEditor, then apply something like Markdownify to the output of e.g., tinymce.getContent().
I have since found something that I love. the Pen editor on Github does just what I wanted. I am glad to see someone has taken this on
Check out Stack Edit It's a great WYSIWYG markdown editor - syncs with Google Docs, Dropbox & CouchDB, publishes to Github (and many other places), and offers easy link sharing. You can access it on their website or using the Chrome app. You can create titles and lists in the editor there, and it will show you the corresponding text in markdown format. You can then save, publish, share, or download the file.
Markdown would not be compatible with a WYSIWYG editor. Consider this sample Markdown:
Let's link to [Google][].
[Google]: http://www.google.com/
If you were making a WYSIWYG editor, what would happen after you typed [Google]? Would you see blue underlined text? Would you just see [Google] since it's not a valid hyperlink yet? What about after you type the trailing []? It's still not a fully-defined hyperlink; you can't click it, because Markdown doesn't know where it links.
And how does the user type that [Google]: http://www.google.com/ follow-up line? That line isn't displayed; it's markup; it's invisible. Where do you type invisible text into a WYSIWYG editor?
I love VI and I'm looking for a plugin of some sort that would allow me to input text in my browser (preferably Firefox or Chrome) using VI commands. It would save me an immense amount of time and at the same time when writing long emails. Can anyone think of any plugins that would allow me to do this? I was hopeful with Vimperator (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4891) but after installing it, I realized that it didn't do the one VI think I wanted to do: create or edit a text box with VI commands. It just allowed me to do Browser commands and scrolling in VI-style.
since you have installed Vimperator , you can try this :
se
editor=”YOUR-GVIM-PATH/vim72/gvim.exe
-f”
Press Ctrl + i to call gvim to deal with the text you want to edit.
I've had great luck with itsAllText firefox extension. Probably not as smooth as your dream, but it works very well in practice.

I've been using the Mozex extension for Firefox for years.
http://mozex.mozdev.org/
Once installed, on the "Textarea" tab, assign a hot-key and enter the command to run. For example:
gnome-terminal -e "/usr/bin/vim %t"
When the hot-key is pressed, Mozex will create a temporary file and replace the "%t" above with its name.
If there's more than one text area on a page it will allow you to pick which one you want to edit.
Mozex provides a lot more functionality than just text area editing. If you want to "view source" with Vim, you can do that too.
I've used jV for a while on firefox. It works even with newer versions that the extension doesn't officially claim to support. The dev says they are working on a chrome version.
Currently the Chrome Extensions API is fairly simple; I simply don't think that there are currently enough API hooks into the browser to be able to support something like this.
You might want to check out the confusingly-named Conkeror browser (not the same as Konqueror in Linux), which is best described as the love child of VI and Firefox. It's like VI with the Gecko rendering engine (I think).
