vimpulse: imap "jk" to ESC
by Linus Arver 29 Apr '11

29 Apr '11

Hello, I'd like to know how to map "jk" to act as the ESC key in insert mode. I have tried (vimpulse-imap "jk" 'viper-intercept-ESC-key) without success. -Linus

[implementations-list] issue with viper-escape-to-emacs
by Fabian Braennstroem 25 Apr '11

25 Apr '11

Hello, with the new vimpulse, I have a problem escaping back to emacs mode. I need this option to run some traditional 'M-x' functions. Up to now I used: (define-key viper-vi-global-user-map (kbd "\\\\") 'viper-escape-to-emacs) Unfortunately, this does not work anymore, as using M(Esc) for the next command cancels this escape and inserts the second of the backslash into the buffer... Would be nice, if you have a hint! Regards! Fabian

Vimpulse and vim-mode
by Frank Fischer 03 Mar '11

03 Mar '11

Hi, my name is Frank Fischer and I'm the maintainer of vim-mode, another package providing ViM-like key bindings for Emacs. I'm following the development of Vimpulse, too, and it seems to me that Vimpulse tries to drop its Viper-connections in the next releases. Well, not relying on Viper with its hard-coded commands was the main reason for me to start vim-mode about two years ago. Now vim-mode is quite advanced since then, all based around a relatively small core and a lot of commands and motions, freely configurable and so on. It has all I need in may daily workflow, but this does not mean it's complete or perfect or whatever. Because Vimpulse and vim-mode both seem to have the same goal or very similar goals, providing more of Vim's features, and somehow replacing the old viper-code by more structured core, the natural question arises if we should try to join both projects to a common one. I think both projects currently have their strengths and weaknesses and certainly both of us learned a lot about the difficulties when trying to make Emacs behave more like Vim, and sharing this experience may be a good idea. So, what do you think? Bye, Frank Fischer

Re: Vimpulse: Vim's insert char below/above cursor

The code is here: http://gist.github.com/834957 Thanks for your contribution. I'm forwarding this to the mailing list, as Štěpán Němec sent me some similar code recently, which also deals with tabs and control characters. It's added in commit 853ba91. I wonder about the prefix argument, though. Currently, it specifies the number of lines to move forward or backward, like in your implementation. Wouldn't it make better sense to specify the number of characters to copy? I don't see myself typing "C-3 C-e C-3 C-e" to copy text character by character from three lines ahead, but I might do "C-5 C-e" to get a chunk of characters at once. What do you think? -- Vegard

after precompilation some features not working
by dfr 12 Feb '11

12 Feb '11

Hello, i recently precompiled all *.el files in emacs.d for faster startup and emaces now really starts faster, but vimpulse lost sofe features. Fore example visual selection, when tapping "v" i got error: Invalid function: vimpulse-visual-before I guess this is beacuse it is not a function, but macro. Does it mean, that precompiling is not an option for vimpulse ?

Vimpulse features
by Largo 11 Feb '11

11 Feb '11

Hello, I am currently using Emacs with Viper, and I am curious what are the most usefull features of Vimpulse, that Viper does not have? I have already looked on emacswiki and the Vimpulse gitorious page and could not find much there on this topic.

[ANN] vim-mode 0.4 released
by Frank Fischer 08 Feb '11

08 Feb '11

This is an announcement of vim-mode 0.4. vim-mode is another implementation of vi/vim-like key-bindings for Emacs. The mercurial repository is available at http://bitbucket.org/lyro/vim-mode and the documentation at EmacsWiki http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/VimMode This version contains many improvements in existing motions and commands as well as new motions and commands and a new interactive search/substitute. Version 0.4 should contain most features I wanted to see vim-mode so we are heading toward 1.0 release. The main task are therefore code cleanup, bugfixing, implementation of missing commands and motions and minor improvements, but the core code should remain unchanged. Vim-mode is an package independent from viper or vimpulse and rewritten from scratch. Nevertheless vimpulse should be considered to be more feature-rich, more stable and more advanced, so I suggest to test vimpulse first before trying vim-mode. The reason is on the one hand the stable and well-tested viper-core of vimpulse, on the other hand that vim-mode is mainly a one-man-project which means that only those commands and motions that I use in my workflow are well-tested. Best regards Frank Fischer

[PATCH] Tweak "make big" to catch if bigd/ already exists
by Trevor Murphy 08 Feb '11

08 Feb '11

Hi, all. Please bear with me, as I'm still fairly green to vimpulse, git, git send-email, and what have you. I prefer to use the 'make big' option. However, I can't do a 'git pull; make big' to get myself up to date. Make complains that the bigd directory already exists. Attached is a patch to fix that in the obvious way. But I feel like I must be missing something. Surely other people would have encountered this by now if they also used the big file. Am I missing the compelling reason to avoid using it? Anywho, thanks for your great work. I've committed to getting more comfortable with Emacs, and I just couldn't do it without vimpulse.
