Is there any online text editor with Vim-like capabilities (modal editor)?

Is there a online text editor with Vim-like features (modal editor). Sometimes I want to code in public computers but is a little tedious to download my version of Vim every time (and the files).

Any suggestions?

A: 

It's not a modal editor, but have you tried bespin? It has become quite powerful in the last year or so.

The OP wants a web based tool that behaves like Vim.

Yes, I suggested an alternative online editor, I specified it was not modal (not vim-like, either). Got my downvote, karma is settled :)

You could probably use the Vimperator extension for Firefox and Codepad to write, compile, and run code in a vim-like environment.
