by "Internet Connection".

It has been forked merely to try and provide an opportunity 
for the community at large to improve and modify it as needs
may arise.

Original Description:

jsvi is a vi-clone written in pure javascript and should work
in any modern web-browser. jsvi is © 2006-2008 Internet Connection,
and is available under the terms of the GNU General Public License
version 3 or (at your option) any later version.

Internet Connection has been providing high-quality web and email
hosting since 1994, and we have a unique developer-centric offering
that can help you build web applications faster.

Our support staff is made up of knowledgeable UNIX users and
administrators that are very comfortable with Internet technologies.

We can help you with any application you may want to use- including
those that you are developing yourself.

If you don't know vi, you can use the arrow-keys as well to scroll
around this document.

jsvi has a finger-feel of vi, supports many ed/ex commands, is
unicode-aware, supports real-time, check-as-you-type spell checking, a small
subset of HTML for useful for physical markup of text, and host clipboard
integration.

Regarding vi compatibility, jsvi supports almost all vi-keys, and
almost all ed/ex (:) commands including <b>:ha</b>rdcopy, and <b>:g//m0</b> but
noticeably missing are <b>:i</b> and commands that work similar to it, as
well as certain register operations.

Regarding vim compatibility, jsvi supports vim's VISUAL and VISUAL-LINE
modes for selections, and has support for a few of vim's motion commands, but
for the most part, jsvi is a clone of vi and not vim.

It is <b>not</b> based on the so-called "Rich Editor" that is
built into modern Firefox builds, and MSIE, and as a result, works
reliably on Safari and Opera.

Some keys, are trapped by your browser, and as a result, simply will not
function- these keys probably work in another web-browser.
