[Replit specific rant, but in my defense it's their blog post.]
I don't understand the in-browser code editor experience. How does it work?
I tried the emacs keybindings on replit... what a joke - Control-N to go to the next line? Nope. Control-P for previous? Nope. Meta-F? opens the file menu. I don't even know what keybindings I should be hoping will work.
Vi keybindings are much more usable in-browser (obviously).
A massive problem for me was getting out of the frame and not being able to get back in. I wanted to do something like ":compile". Or ":n" to get to the next focusable input field.
Maybe there are function keys bound? I wish I could find out.
Is there any possibility of one of these "IDEs" having auto-indent / reindent? I see from the docs there's supposed to be one, but all I get is not-smart left/right motion.
Working with beginners it would be very nice.
