Edit Vim-style in Gmail etc?

[gntsketches]

I've installed Vimium, and the shortcuts to get around in the browser work, but when it comes to text editing (ie: in gmail, in the address bar), it doesn't appear possible to exit "insert mode" into normal mode.

Wondering if I am missing something here? Or has this feature yet to be installed? Or a bug of some sort.

Thanks! Would love to be able to Vim my way around in online text editing :)

Chrome: Version 77.0.3865.90 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Vimium: 1.64.6

Definitely not a bug - Vimium doesn't have this feature at the moment. Considering how complex Vim's text editing is, it'd be a heck of a job to build something even close. But if you're using Windows, there's a really easy solution - just use Vim directly via Text Editor Anywhere. As an added bonus, you'll be able to use Vim to edit every text input, not just the ones in Chrome ;)
