Title: cbvike -- A VIM like plugin
Post by: arthurzmj on May 16, 2014, 04:03:38 pm
Hi, guys, I've developed a VIM like plugin for Code::Blocks. It's based on the origin keybinder plugin. And the first prototype was developed by ayheos. I improved it and retains the name. You can find the previous discussion at http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,6214.msg106074.html#msg106074 (http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,6214.msg106074.html#msg106074)

This is really cool. I like it.
And I did some improvement for it. I like to use :w and :q so, I add 2 command for it.
Thanks for create this project.

Hi, where is your project that people test your contribution?

Are you aware of Neovim ? it is a fork of vim aiming at decoupling the backend from the User Interface (UI) in order to allow IDEs to embed vim? There are already some examples such as nyaovim https://github.com/rhysd/NyaoVim

In the long term, it should prove a better choice then reimplementing vim keystrokes in each and every IDE.

It's cool!! but how to use it with Codeblocks?

I just add "J" function for cbvike. So far, it works as what I expected. But I would like to see more mature solution for that.

Actually, I have did an POC to use eclim as backend, and node.js as the server to build an web based IDE. It works, I can create project, coding with CodeComplete features and compile/run the project. but I need to rebuild the UI by myself. that's too many investment for me.

I have the same question.

I've been using neovim for the past 2 years and I believe it's already a lot better than vim.
As for how to embed into an IDE, I don't know how mature it is yet. I just know Neovim relies on msgpack-rpc for communications between the server and the UI but  one can get more info from their irc or this page:
https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Related-projects
The atom integration https://github.com/carlosdcastillo/vim-mode created a bit of a buzz back then.

The idea is that one can use (neo)vim with his very own configuration/plugins.

There are some ideas to improve the integration as well:

a few more pointers of interest, the first one explaining how neovim embedding works:
https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Plugin-UI-architecture
https://github.com/equalsraf/neovim-qt and https://github.com/oakes/SolidOak are examples of such embedding

So, I packaged this for Arch Linux: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cbvike/

Mods: can you add this information to the OP?

Is anyone still looking for information how to use cbvike?
