Commit 375b273 breaks evil-surround
by Timothy Harper 13 Sep '11

13 Sep '11

Hi Vegard, Do you have any idea off the top of your head why this commit would break evil-surround? http://gitorious.org/evil/evil/commit/375b27360c40b32a2dff6327c27b991864640… Just wanted to ask you before i started digging in and trying to figure it out on my own. Thanks! Tim

evil disregard for mark-active
by Timothy Harper 12 Sep '11

12 Sep '11

evil is not respecting the mark-active variable. Normally, when you (setq mark-active nil) it clears the mark. When evil is engaged that is not the case. Is this intentional? http://screencast.com/t/9TjsESJw Tim

Scrolling with epubreader
by Guido Van Hoecke 11 Sep '11

11 Sep '11

Hi, I just installed the epubreader firefox extension (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/epubreader/) and added its buffer(s) to my passAllKeys: :autocmd LocationChange .* :js modes.passAllKeys = /mail\.google\.com|chrome:\/\/epubreader/ That enables most of its key bindings, e.g. left and right arrows for chapterwise scrolling, + and - for font size etc. However, neither linewise (up and down arrows) nor pagewise (Page up/down) scrolling is available. I just can't scroll by keyboard. Does anybody have similar, better or worse experience with this extension? Any advice would be highly appreciated. Guido.

evil-delete-line in visual state
by Thomas Hisch 10 Sep '11

10 Sep '11

Hey, selecting a few lines in visual mode (not linewise visual mode) in vim and pressing D not only deletes text inside the selected region but also text until the beginning and end of the lines (i.e. D acts linewise in visual mode). This does not work in evil, evil-delete-line does not delete the whole line in visual state. In visual block mode/state "D" should delete text only to the end of each line in the block. Regards Thomas

Why does evil-insert-digraph take a COUNT argument?
by Christoph LANGE 08 Sep '11

08 Sep '11

Hi all, I wonder why evil-insert-digraph (usually bound to ^K in insert mode) takes a number COUNT as its first argument. That requires entering ^K NUMBER CHAR1 CHAR2, which is different from vim. Isn't it possible to make evil-insert-digraph accept an optional numeric prefix, as other Emacs functions do?

Increment decrement number under cursor?
by Antono Vasiljev 06 Sep '11

06 Sep '11

Hello all! First of all, thank you for great Evil! Is it hard to implement increment/decrement number at point? C-a C-x in vim I'm emacs beginner but probably can implement it myself with some mentoring from gurus :) Thanks in advance! -- http://antono.info/ http://twitter.com/antono http://github.com/antono

Swapping "i" and "e" causes "ds" and "cs" to stop working
by York Zhao 05 Sep '11

05 Sep '11

Hi, I found myself using "i" much more than "e" and on dvorak layout the key "e" is more convenient than the key "i", so I swapped the two keys like this: (define-key evil-normal-state-map "i" nil) (define-key evil-normal-state-map "I" nil) (define-key evil-visual-state-map "I" nil) (define-key evil-motion-state-map "e" nil) (define-key evil-motion-state-map "E" nil) (define-key evil-motion-state-map "i" 'evil-forward-word-end) (define-key evil-motion-state-map "I" 'evil-forward-WORD-end) (define-key evil-normal-state-map "e" 'evil-insert) (define-key evil-normal-state-map "E" 'evil-insert-line) (define-key evil-visual-state-map "E" 'evil-insert) However, after doing this, the "ds" and "cs" in "surround" no longer work. I don't understand why this is happenning and whether this is evil's problem or this is a problem is in "surround", or, if I'm doing something wrong. Thanks, York

Differences to viper/vimpulse and vim-mode
by Michael Markert 03 Sep '11

03 Sep '11

In another post I mentioned that I edited the Evil emacswiki page and I found there this: > It would be nice with a brief overview over the objectives and > difference to ViperMode. I thought so, too. And found it difficult to promote evil myself to others (mostly vimpulse users), because the main reason for myself using evil is "vim-emulation done right". I think this is best done not only as a feature list but also as a compilation of opinions. The first things I came up with: Features: - vim keyboard macros - recursive ones, too - support for cursor functions (color and shape based on current mode) as opposed to viper: - vim-emulation - text objects (deletion, changing, ... of text "syntactically") - visual mode (esp. painless rectangular selection) - modal state key bindings - g* keys - ... (most of the other things that vimpulse added) as opposed to vimpulse: - vim-emulation that doesn't feel stuck on (I felt myself with vimpulse more times than not fighting with viper) - changing the state for modes really does work - ... - actively developed as opposed to vim-mode (I never used it) - ... So please chime in! Michael
