Make Y consistent like with D
by Ernst de Hart 24 Mar '15

24 Mar '15

Hello Evil users, The key 'D' in normal mode, deletes the line after the cursor. I would like to make the key 'Y' consistent with this. So I wrote a function for this, after finding out the command that's called after every key action with "C-h k". So, I came with this: (defun my-make-Y-key-working () (interactive) (evil-visual-char) (evil-end-of-line) (evil-yank BEG END) (evil-exit-visual-state) ) But it gives me an error on evil-yank, he don't accept BEG END as input. The evil-yank command requires parameters on the place of BEG and END, but I couldn't figure out what the input should be then. I found nothing in the documentation about this. Next to solving the issue with BEG END, what would be your suggestion in which way could I figure such problems out in the future? Thanks in advance for your reply. It's appreciated. Ernst

evil-mode: How to automatically switch to insert mode after certain commands?
by max6166 20 Mar '15

20 Mar '15

There are many emacs commands after which I almost always immediately want to insert text. This often requires entering insert mode after the initial command. Is there any way to instead enter insert mode automatically after certain commands? For example, in org-mode, a user will usually enter some text immediately after the commands org-insert-heading or org-capture. Though this only requires typing <i>, the situation arises so many times in a day that I find myself wishing I could eliminate that extra key press. What would be the recommended way to do this? Incidentally, I am also using evil-org-mode. Thanks, Max

ace-jump slow when combined with somee vim commands
by Óscar Fuentes 19 Mar '15

19 Mar '15

When I execute M-x evil-ace-jump-char-mode [CHAR] it instantaneously highlights the candidates. However, if I do (in normal mode) d M-x evil-ace-jump-char-mode [CHAR] it is very slow. On a netbook I can see how each candidate is highlighted individually, taking approx. two seconds when there are about 20 candidates. The slowdown is observable on a workstation-class machine too, but not as evident/annoying. What can cause this? Any ideas for investigating the problem?

Hi, I am following instructions from https://gitorious.org/evil/pages/Home#toc_0 on a fresh Raspian install, Raspberry Pi w/ Debian Wheezy, GNU Emacs 23.4.1 that comes with the distro. I am getting the following error when downloading: pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo git clone git://gitorious.org/evil/evil.git Cloning into 'evil'... fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly So I managed to download the alternative tarball of master (.tar.gz) but now I get the following error when I start emacs, not sure if it's because my machine is set to es_US-UTF8: Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading `/home/pi/.emacs': Symbol's value as variable is void: deactivate-current-input-method-function To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the cause of the error in your initialization file.

slow delete operation as of today
by Eric S Fraga 17 Mar '15

17 Mar '15

Hello, I upgraded my emacs today. I tend to follow the emacs snapshot on ubuntu and I upgraded to the 201503121917 version. Whenever I upgrade emacs, I recompile various packages and take the opportunity to update them as well. One of these packages is evil. See signature for version details. I now find that deleting text takes an inordinate amount of time. Using ELP to profile, I see the following having asked to delete two lines (dd twice in a row): ,---- | evil-operator-range 2 3.949455058 1.974727529 | evil-motion-range 2 3.3242579269 1.6621289634 | evil-read-motion 2 0.597503132 0.298751566 | evil-keypress-parser 2 0.597473732 0.298736866 | evil-change-state 12 0.0285186659 0.0023765555 | evil-operator-state 4 0.0262815 0.006570375 | evil-refresh-cursor 26 0.0215003230 0.0008269355 | evil-set-cursor 34 0.0207609810 0.0006106170 | evil-half-cursor 2 0.0205869320 0.0102934660 | evil-delete 2 0.007644156 0.003822078 `---- I asked to instrument both evil- and org- as this was an org document. 4 seconds to delete two lines seems rather excessive. Deleting single characters (x) also takes a long time. The document *is* large (300 kB) but not that large... and everything was fine before the upgrades. Moving around in the text is fine as is jumping by line/sentence/paragraph. Any suggestions before I downgrade both? -- : Eric S Fraga, GnuPG: 0xFFFCF67D : in Emacs 25.0.50.1 + Ma Gnus v0.12 + evil-git-bdeb602 : BBDB version 3.1.2 (2014-05-06 11:45:08 -0500)

Input-method during isearch
by Nikolai Weibull 03 Mar '15

03 Mar '15

Hi! I’m trying to get input-method to work during isearch. It works if, for example, isearch-forward-regexp is started in insert mode, as evil doesn’t disable input-method then. However, when started in normal mode, it won’t work, as evil disables input-method in that state. I’ve tried (defun now-evil--isearch-forward-regexp-around (fn &rest args) (let ((s evil-state)) (if (or (not evil-local-mode) (evil-state-property s :input-method)) (apply fn args) (evil-change-state 'insert) (unwind-protect (apply fn args) (evil-change-state s))))) (advice-add 'isearch-forward-regexp :around 'now-evil--isearch-forward-regexp-around) to get around this limitation, but it doesn’t work. It seems that evil is entering normal state somewhere between here and when isearch is started. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

How to override evil-mode normal state binding
by Aneesh Kumar 01 Mar '15

01 Mar '15

I am trying to override binding for 'q' for a minor mode. What is the right way to do it ? Using evil-define-key doesn't seem to work. For example i tried (evil-define-key 'normal magit-blame-mode "q" 'magit-blame-quit) and that doesn't seem to work. Even adding a new binding like (evil-define-key 'normal magit-blame-mode "Q" 'magit-blame-quit) is not working. I am using evil-mode from melpa -aneesh
