Hi, Frank and list: in evil or emacs how to achive the following two commands? :[range]ri[ght] [width] :ri :right Right-align lines in [range] at [width] columns (default 'textwidth' or 80 when 'textwidth' is 0). {not in Vi} Not available when +ex_extra feature was disabled at compile time. :le :left :[range]le[ft] [indent] Left-align lines in [range]. Sets the indent in the lines to [indent] (default 0). {not in Vi} Not available when +ex_extra feature was disabled at compile time. Thanks! Jim.

Hello Frank and list: do we have a command like :reg in vim to show what each register have? I didn't expect evil has register support but it does have! Jim

help: replace regexp
by damien.thiriet77 13 Dec '11

Hi, They might be an issue with substitutions involving regexp: I had to deal with inputs from this kind On natchniony i mlody byl He was inspired and young. In order to eliminate polish version, i asked for: :s/ *[A-Z][^[A-Z]*// The proper zone described by regexp was highlighted, but only the first character of the sequence was deleted, not the whole sequence. On vim everything was deleted, as it should. I cannot say if it is an emacs issue (the regexp not being highlighted using C-M-% in emacs mode did not help) or an evil issue (since my regexp was well highlighted, I assume it was not my regexp that failed this time…).

discrepancy between evil and vim in j motion at bottom of screen
by Jim Green 09 Dec '11

09 Dec '11

Hi, Frank and list: this is a minor discrepancy, I just want to confirm if it intended. I hit L to get to bottom of window, then I press j. in vim, screen scrolls down just one line but evil recenters the bottom to the center of screen. Is this designed to be different from vim? Thanks for your time, Jim.

evil conflicts in c-mode
by Jim Green 09 Dec '11

09 Dec '11

Hello, I am an emacs newbie with vim background, return key in N mode works alright for plain text files such as a text file called temp. but in a c++ file for example temp.cpp, it is described as (newline-and-indent) I did c-h k return to find it out. Is this a desired behavior in c-mode? is there anyway to disable this behavior? in vim normal mode, return shouldn't do anything. Thanks for any help! Jim.

:close in ex mode doesn't work
by Jim Green 07 Dec '11

07 Dec '11

Hello Frank and list: one thing I guess is not working is :close in ex mode, here is the error I got from messages buffer. evil-ex-call-current-command: Wrong type argument: commandp, evil-window-close Wrong type argument: commandp, evil-window-close [5 times] looks like it is defined here: evil-maps.el:356:(evil-ex-define-cmd "close" 'evil-window-close) I also tried m-x evil-window-close but emacs didn't find this function. Thanks for any advice, Jim.

Missing \C-^ mapping

Hi! The \C-^ mapping for switching to the alternate buffer is missing. I tried implementing it, but I gave up, sorry. Also, # and % don’t work in ex.

getting evil-mode to interact well with slime-repl-mode
by Chris Rosengren 05 Dec '11

05 Dec '11

Over the last few weeks I have been learning elisp and implementing hooks into slime-mode so that vim bindings feel more natural there. Here is an example (defun slime-repl-bol-insert () (interactive) (slime-repl-bol) (evil-insert 1) Then I would add this too a slime-repl-mode-hook (define-key evil-normal-state-map "I" 'slime-repl-bol-insert) I'm attempting to make all commands such as I, 0, etc work to the start of the REPL prompt rather than the beginning of the line. I think this has implications not only for repl/inferior modes but dired/term/eshell modes as well. I have two questions, is this general approach i'm taking reasonable - defining functions that overwrite the generic bindings, and adding them in hooks to slime-mode/eshell-mode etc? the second question that I'm having a hard time with involves making dd and yy work correctly, I have browsed the source and it seems they are implemented in motions involving moving to the next line -> what would be a reasonable solution to get say dd to delete everything on a line except the prompt, and yy to yank everything on a line except the prompt. Thanks for the great work with evil-mode
