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.

@Hans: Yes, I know of Vimperator, but it is a bit too much

@Christian Müller: A wish for integration of an *external* editor, that is.

@Ivan Čukić:

Or you could just use Vimperator.

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)

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.
