I don't think any "Vim extension" aiming at reproducing Vim's behaviour
without actually calling it, will be able to come near the result of the
gazillions of man-hours Bram (with a few others) has put and is still putting
into it. Many browsers are able to interact with "any external editor" (such
as true-blue Vim) these days, which also means that any bugfix or improvement
to Vim gets reflected in the editing behaviour of the browser. Or you could
always write the text in Vim, then use the clipboard to paste it into the
browser, even with no special "external editor" function.
YMMV.
Best regards,
Tony.
