I've never left a bad review in my life. I think the high star ratings are to encourage the developer, because people so desperately would love to have this and want to encourage the developer to continue to make improvements. Another reviewer said "As an instinctive vim user, the incomplete support often creates a train wreck because a sequence of movement and editing commands will yield an unexpected result." THIS! In fact, learning the exceptions to effectively use this plugin will mess up your productivity when you're using VIM for your coding. I can't even get some really basic stuff to work. In NORMAL mode, "dd" indeed deletes the line, but following up with a "p" doesn't paste it. In the "Remap Your Keys" page, there is an option to toggle "Cut Text" for "dd". I'm not exactly sure what that is supposed to do. Having that enabled, "dd" no longer deletes the line, and "p" still doesn't paste anything. I can't get the analogous procedures to work in VISUAL mode either. Clearly, a LOT of work has gone into this. But, don't charge money for something that's not going to be fully supported. I'd be happy to pay 3x what is asked for this app ... if it worked. If it's not going to be fully supported, then make it open source. Using v1.17 in Chrome on Windows 11

Would be great to also add support for word online. While the core is here and worth using, many common motions are missing which is a shame ({ {#}f{char} etc.
