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

When I press "v" I got the character at point selected, however if I press "f" the selection got cancelled. This used to work. York

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

Feature request: put the mode indicator more on the left
by Alan Schmitt 01 Sep '11

01 Sep '11

Hello, I see that the mode indicator (<V>, <I>, etc) is the last thing on the right of the status bar. Unfortunately, when many minor modes are loaded (typically when doing some latex), the information is not visible. Is there a way to put the mode indicator more on the left? As a related question, is it possible to change the cursor depending on the mode? Thanks, Alan

evil: Input method gets reset when entering insert state
by Sarah Brofeldt 01 Sep '11

01 Sep '11

Hi, I'm a bit new with all things Emacsy, but I think this behavior is undesired: Whenever I enter insert state, my input method is set to default-input-method as if I had hit C-\ Is this intentional? -- Sarah

Commit fdb4f6635351b3f3b15b5e948c39e9efcdd615df causing Emacs to crash for me
by Timothy Harper 25 Aug '11

I don't understand why, but this commit: http://gitorious.org/evil/evil/commit/fdb4f6635351b3f3b15b5e948c39e9efcdd61… … has caused emacs to start crashing for me. A video to prove I'm not crazy: http://screencast.com/t/58vWTsW0TTh I'm using Vanilla Emacs for OS X, 23.3, downloaded here: http://emacsformacosx.com/ Crash dump: http://pastie.org/2419689 I'm betting it's an Emacs bug that is being surfaced by that change, because it should not be possible to crash emacs by writing emacs lisp like that.
