input type=text

Hi everyone.
I didn't find an answer why <input type="text"/> is not supported? Just curious to know why.

What says it doesn't? Did you try appending , input[type="text"] to your selector setting? You might find that is too aggressive and only enable that selector on specific sites or even specific input fields by ID, but it does work.

Yep, as alerque explained, you can configure the elements Firenvim should appear on by configuring Firenvim's selector option. A fun fact: very early Firenvim versions used to take over input elements by default! It was disabled because it turned out to be far more annoying than expected. I still want to someday implement a "seamless mode" closer to what pterosaur did, meaning that Firenvim would not open a Neovim frame, you would instead get your regular text input element but all keybindings would work as they do in Neovim's insert mode. I think this would be perfect for input elements. But I haven't started work on that yet :)

That sounds amazing, and perfect one one-line editing where the UI really isn't serving much of a purpose.

this sound's cool. hope to see it soon as the :wq get's a little annoying for short searches.

You know you can bind anything you like to that right? You could even bind <Esc><Esc> to save and drop out of Firenvim or (as I used to do) just enable autosave and don't even bother closing it.

can you quickly tell me how would I do that? thanks!
