Just to share with you something I’ve stumbled upon.

A Firefox plugin that allows you to use your favourite text editor for filling up the text areas in a page. It can be found at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4125

This post, for example, was typed in Vim!

The question I always made to myself and never dared to ask:
Are you aware of any plans to provide Konqueror with such a plugin/feature?
Typing textareas in browsers sucks, and I usually have to write them on my editor, then copy and paste.
Ivan Čukić
I have no idea. You could make a wishlist for Konq devs to use the Kate's text editor component for text-areas in HTML. (Kate's editor has some rudimentary Vim support, and is being actively worked on)

Or you could just use Vimperator. ;) http://vimperator.org/trac/wiki/Vimperator

I think it already exists: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37146

@<a href="#comment-8043" rel="nofollow">Christian Müller</a>: A wish for integration of an *external* editor, that is.

@<a href="#comment-8041" rel="nofollow">Hans</a>: Yes, I know of Vimperator, but it is a bit too much :)

I second the recommendation of Vimperator. It's really awesome and provides the "It's All Text" functionality with Ctrl-I (and provides things like "Ctrl-A" in normal textareas, too).
Also, it provides bypassing (Ctrl-Z) and your mouse will still work, if it's "too much" at the beginning.
