A couple of questions

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

Is undo-tree dependency strictly necessary
by Leo Alekseyev 21 Jul '12

21 Jul '12

I was wondering if undo-tree is only there to match Vim behavior, and if I could use Evil without it. I actually find built-in Emacs undo functionality intuitive and I'm used to how it operates. On the other hand, I've run into some cases where undo-tree didn't behave as expected. If there are no ill consequences in using original Emacs undo vs undo-tree, it would be nice if it were configurable. --Leo P.S.: Thanks Frank and Vegard for quick bug-fixing action!

Solution for meta/escape in terminal mode
by Jason Miller 25 Apr '12

25 Apr '12

I really like evil under X, but find it nearly unusable in a terminal due to escape/meta clashing in insert mode. I currently use exactly one meta keybinding in insert mode (M-Tab) and hardly ever press tab in normal mode, so ideally I'd like to supress all meta bindings except M-Tab while in insert mode. -Jason

Last commit breaks desktop file loading
by Nikolai Weibull 25 Apr '12

25 Apr '12

Hi! The last commit, 3474346fba687aaf265037ca8fd9ede705727262, that doesn’t enable evil-local-mode when load-in-progress is t breaks loading of files through a desktop file at Emacs boot time. The commit message notes that Emacs loads a package into a buffer called “ *load” with load-in-progress set to t. Shouldn’t the condition then be ((and (string= (buffer-name) " *load") load-in-progress))? The only reference to “ *load” that I could find in the Emacs source was, however, “ *load*” and is the buffer used by mule in load-with-code-conversion, so the check should probably be ((string= (buffer-name) " *load*")). This problem occurs because desktop (load)s the desktop file, which creates the buffers while it’s being loaded, and, since load-in-progress is global, all created buffers will see it as t when evil-local-mode is run.

[ENGLISH BELOW] Queridos miembros de Ourproject.org: Nos dirigimos a vosotros/as para poneros al día de una nueva forma de colaborar en el crecimiento de nuestra comunidad. Como sabréis, Ourproject ha experimentado un gran crecimiento desde su nacimiento hace diez años, hasta alcanzar en la actualidad un total de 1.079 proyectos, que reciben un total de un millón de visitas mensuales. Sin publicidad y compartiendo su trabajo con licencias libres, siguiendo el espíritu de esta comunidad. El gran crecimiento experimentado requiere que ampliemos la capacidad de soporte de Ourproject y de otros proyectos bajo el paraguas de nuestra asociación sin ánimo de lucro Comunes.org . Por ello, hemos decidido montar junto con otros colectivos con fines similares un Centro de Datos: http://comunes.org/es/787/building-a-collective-data-centre/ en el que albergar una mayor cantidad de proyectos de una forma más efectiva, con recursos suficientes para todos. También ha llegado la hora de ofrecer nuevos y más avanzados servicios que llevamos desarrollando desde hace cinco años, como: http://kune.ourproject.org http://kune.cc Por desgracia, todo esto supone un cierto desgaste económico para el proyecto. Es más, nos ha llegado el momento de renovar equipos y comprar repuestos de nuestros servidores, que están empezando a dar problemas y muestras de fatiga: http://comunes.org/es/909/help-servers-hardware/ que habréis podido sufrir con caídas de los servicios más frecuentes en los últimos tiempos. Hay que tener también en cuenta que durante estos diez años hemos costeado los gastos a través de nuestras continuas aportaciones personales. Por esta razón, hemos decidido crear una nueva vía de participación y cofinanciación disponible para los miembros de Ourproject. Consiste en aportaciones económicas periódicas, variables y totalmente voluntarias (cada cual en la medida de sus posibilidades para así evitar las cuotas fijas) que nos permitan sufragar estos gastos, de forma que los miembros de Ourproject (y Comunes en general) puedan ayudar a la sostenibilidad del ecosistema común. Para ello hemos habilitado la siguiente página: http://comunes.org/donate/ en la que podréis, si es vuestro deseo, colaborar con cuotas periódicas mensuales. Las aportaciones estarán enteramente destinadas al mantenimiento de los servicios, y mantendremos el espíritu de Ourproject no buscando lucro de ningún tipo, ni introduciendo publicidad alguna. Todos los movimientos económicos hechos con estas aportaciones serán claramente expuestos a la comunidad, de forma transparente, en un lugar destacado de la página. Muchas gracias. Un cordial saludo, El equipo detrás de Ourproject.org y Comunes.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [ENGLISH]: Dear members of Ourproject.org: We are contacting you in order to update you on a new way of collaborating in the growth of our community. As you know, Ourproject has lived an extraordinary growth from its birth 10 years ago, as today we already have 1.079 projects which all together receive around a million visits per month. Everything with no ads and sharing their work with free licenses, following the spirit of this community. This growth has required to increase the capacity of the servers and infrastructure of Ourproject and the other projects under the umbrella of our non-profit Comunes.org. In this line, we joined other similar collectives to form a Collective Data Centre, with enough resources for all of us: http://comunes.org/787/building-a-collective-data-centre/ Besides, it’s time to offer new and more advanced services that we have been developing in the last five years, such as: http://kune.ourproject.org http://kune.cc However, this implies a continuous economic effort. Furthermore, the time has come to renew our servers, that have already shown serious signals and issues: http://comunes.org/909/help-servers-hardware/ that you may have suffered, with more frequent problems in the service. We should take into account that during these 10 years we have been assuming the efforts from our personal economic contributions. That is why we have decided to create a new method of participation and co-funding for the old and new members of Ourproject. It consists of regular, variable and fully optional economic contributions (each one to the extent of their capabilities, avoiding fixed quotas), that would allow us to sustain the expenses, so everyone in the community can help sustaining this common ecosystem. Thus, we have prepared a donation page: http://comunes.org/donate/ in which you could, if you want to, collaborate with regular monthly quotas. These contributions will be used just for the maintenance of the servers and infrastructure, and we’ll keep with the spirit of Ourproject and Comunes by not seeking profit in any way, and not placing ads anywhere. Every economic move done with these contributions will be clearly exposed to the community, transparently, in a highlighted part of our pages. Thanks a lot for your support, The team behind Ourproject.org and Comunes.org
