We're on the same wavelength, Elijah

Sadly I do not have much to offer as my search started after Waterfox https://www.waterfoxproject.org/en-US/waterfox/new/ upgraded and broke It's All Text! https://github.com/docwhat/itsalltext :-(

I did try installing QuteBrowser https://www.qutebrowser.org/ but could not get it working with gvim as I use vim in the terminal though there is a thread https://www.reddit.com/r/qutebrowser/comments/780u6a/how_to_set_vim_as_qutebrowser_editor/ It allows an insert mode with an external editor like vim. YMMV

So right now, I just use "+p and "+y for accessing the system clipboard (+clipboard compiled) http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Accessing_the_system_clipboard as I am tired of all the workarounds just to edit in vim.

Welcome to 2018!

Best,
tony
