That makes sense. I am considering implementing a larger subset, though, so as to be able to run Vim syntax highlighting scripts.

[implementations-list] (viper devel) Should Viper parse .vimrc files? And should "n" and C-s C-s search be integrated?

Hi all and thanks for joining the list. I wonder: * Would it be useful for Viper/Vimpulse[1] to parse users' .vimrc files to see if they have used commands like :set ignorecase and :imap, and to apply those settings, key mappings, and abbreviation definitions in Emacs? * How hard is it to parse Vim scripts badly? To parse them well? How should Viper/Vimpulse parse them? * Should the "last Emacs (Ctrl-s) search" and "last Vi (/) search" be treated as one so that the C-s C-s combo and Viper/Vimpulse's "Repeat Last Search" command (the "n" key) will both repeat the same search?[2] Thanks in advance, Jason P.S. Please Reply to All. I am cc'ing Michael, John, and Alessandro: they aren't on-list. Please join at https://lists.ourproject.org/mailman/listinfo/implementations-list :-) ^ [1]. Viper and Vimpulse provide Vi and Vim emulation for Emacs. ^ [2]. This is much easier to do right if we treat search case sensitivity settings as identical in both Vi and Emacs emulation, at least for search-repetition purposes. -- Jason Spiro: Linux consultant, web developer, Windows corporate trainer.
