Hmm, I'll take a look at this today. Interesting error, I hope that it's not this error (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49816707/firefox-invalid-regex-group), as this would probably affect how the vim plugin works.

[guyfedwards]

That seems likely. There was a VS Code issue with the same error VSCodeVim/Vim#3522 which was fixed with an update, not sure if that's something that can be applied here?

Ahh, nice find! It seems like the branch wasn't merged in the end, I'll make a comment: VSCodeVim/Vim#3525.

The branch got merged, does it means that this issue is going to be fixed in the next codesandbox-client release?

This is still happening.

Any update on this issue? I still get the error when trying to use the editor :-(

#2260 removes it for FF due to lack of time. Not sure if it'll be fixed anytime soon, but sharing the status update here.

[bpierre]

@bogas04 I thought it was a VSCodeVim issue that had been fixed since? VSCodeVim/Vim#3525

[github-actions]

This issue is stale because it has been open many days with no activity. It will be closed soon unless the stale label is removed or a comment is made.

Good news!

This was actually fixed today 🎉🎉🎉

#4831

If you are using the Vimium extension on Firefox, you will have to add an exception to disable it on "https://codesandbox.io/*". I know this issue is closed, but I found this thread from Google, and I'm leaving this note here for others in a similar position.
