vim plugin

(1/1)

st3vie:
okay, as far as i can tell, there isn't a possibility - yet -  from the side of Vim, but still it's being talked about, to support intergration of Vim in other applications, so...

would it be possible to have a Vim plugin in the future, so you could use Vim styled editing in CB?

David Perfors:
hmm. I think thatrequires a new implementation of the editor part in the SDK. Than it should be possible.

thomas:
What is the point in vi/vim anyway? Is it the keyboard navigation, or something else that I am unaware of? If it is just keyboard navigation, that should not be impossible to emulate using the existing editor, might be less pain than implementing a whole new thing.

st3vie:
yes, i was thinking about navigation and the different modes and commands, used inside the editor of CB.

[edit]
it's with the point of faster editing of course. :)
To emulate the insert/normal mode and the navigation should not be a problem, i guess, but the extra commands and options will probably be a lot of pain indeed.

takeshimiya:
I was thinking about a VIM plugin long ago.

The plugin will be made by someone at some point, because there are a lot of *nix programmers that are used to the keyboard savings of VIM, and refuses to use an IDE for the improductivity it carries when typing code in a common text editor.

We'll also need a emacs plugin also. A
nd of course implement the functionality that Eclipse haves, as its gaining lot of popularity lately.
