<backspace> not bound properly in haskell-mode
by Keshav Kini 25 Jul '14

25 Jul '14

When I have a .hs file open in a buffer (i.e. with haskell-mode activated), it seems that typing <backspace> in <N> state actually deletes characters. Investigating a bit, I see that in other modes - such as message-mode, in which I'm typing this email - doing describe-key on <backspace> yields the following: DEL (translated from <backspace>) runs the command evil-backward-char, which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `evil-commands.el'. In haskell-mode, however, I get: <backspace> runs the command haskell-indentation-delete-backward-char, which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `haskell-indentation.el'. The difference I notice is that in the first, we have "DEL (translated from <backspace>)", but in the second, just "<backspace>". From this I gather that evil-mode probably traps the key DEL, but not the key <backspace>. Should evil-mode perhaps trap <backspace> directly as well as DEL? Or is this a bug in haskell-mode, i.e. should haskell-mode be trapping DEL instead of <backspace>? -Keshav

A couple of questions
by Keshav Kini 13 Sep '13

13 Sep '13

Hello, First of all, thank you very much for your great work on evil! I'm really pleasantly surprised at how active your development is :) I'm a vim user who is trying to learn emacs without losing the handy modal editing of vim (as I imagine many others on this list are), and evil seems to be exactly what I need. I have a couple of questions. First, I am wondering if evil-want-C-u-scroll is broken. I have set it to t using M-x customize-group evil-mode, which causes (custom-set-variables '(evil-want-C-u-scroll t)) to appear in my ~/.emacs , but I don't see any difference in the behavior of evil. Is there something else I need to do in order to make C-u call evil-scroll-up (as C-h k C-d tells me that C-d is bound to evil-scroll-down)? Second, I am wondering about the behavior of :q . It seems to me that it behaves more like :qa does in vim. According to vim documentation, :q[uit] should "Quit the current window. Quit Vim if this is the last window.". So I guess it should be similar to kill-buffer in emacs, no? Thanks again! -Keshav

How to control Emacs vs. vi state with a file local variable?
by Christoph LANGE 04 Feb '13

04 Feb '13

Dear evil developers/users, I would like to generally open all files of a certain type (org-mode) in vi state but make exceptions for a few individual files. Using file local variables didn't work. I tried Local Variables: eval: (evil-emacs-state) End: but apparently the order of execution was the following: 1. load the file 2. apply the local variables, switching to Emacs state 3. here, or possibly before (2), switch buffer to org-mode 4. on seeing that org-mode is not in the list of evil-emacs-state-modes, switch to vi state If this assumption is right, is there any way of opening individual files in Emacs state? Cheers, and thanks in advance, Christoph -- Christoph Lange, http://www.facebook.com/ch.lange, Skype duke4701

Temporary execution in evil state with C-o (just like using \ to temporary execution in emacs state)
by lv yiwang 22 Nov '12

22 Nov '12

I have tried my best to read the doc-evil file and to search the mailing list, but no answers were found. I use emacs-mode of evil most of the time, and I have unset the C-o key What's "Temporary execution in evil state with C-o"? For example: -1, If I am in emacs mode, and I want to jump to the beginning-of-buffer with gg -2, I can do it like this, C-z to normal-mode, then gg to the beginning, then C-z to emacs mode. *3, I don't like this way, if I am in emacs-mode, I want to use C-o to normal-mode, and gg to the beginning, *but after using gg, **the buffer automatically come back into emacs-mode**.* -4, And I think that would be a great convenient for me,I can also use C-o dib to delete contents in brackets without leaving emacs-mode(because after C-o dib, the buffer automatically back into emacs-mode). Thanks!

insert-state-map
by damien.thiriet77 18 Nov '12

18 Nov '12

Hello, I have to change my keyboard layout when switching from french bépo to Polish layout, that I use only for writing text in emacs. Unfortunately, these changes are quite messing, since most apps I use are vimish like. I made a minor-mode dedicated to Polish and I would like to use insert-map to switch the keyboard layout in an quite unorthodox way. Unfortunately, (define-key evil-insert-local-map "e" '(quote a)) does not work. According to define-key doc, DEF should be a string that can be called interactively. What shall I do? Is there a way to make such a (indeed weird) mapping? I know this sounds quite crazy, but it would really be a great spare of time (I wouldn’t have to change configuration of other apps, and per-window keyboard layout switch on linux is complicated since I am using my own keyboard layouts, calling emacs in -nw and changing the layout in zsh is precisely the thing I would like to avoid, because of my vimish bindings)!
