As someone who has an on-off interest in ChromeOS but with little to no knowledge about it, does vim/neovim work? I found some vim version on the chrome web store but it is last updated on 2014 and pinned to 7.4 which was a bit disappointing.

Yes and no.

Yes, they work.

No, they don't capture shortcuts like 'ctrl+W' which are handled by ChromeOS.

There is a chrome extension called Crosh Window that keeps the Chrome shortcuts from coming in. That way things like Ctrl-w in Vim still work. edit: this might just be when going through crouton though. I don't really use the crosh shell except to boot up my chroot.

For some applications, like crosh, pinning the application and then launching it changes the semantics.
