Thomas and Štěpán, do you consider the vi-keys-in-minibuffer behavior useful in itself, despite Viper's glitches?
I imagine some people might like it, but not me. It was one of the first things I disabled when starting to use Viper. It's somewhat similar to shell vi emulation -- switching to and from insert mode for quick single-line editing feels like more trouble than it's worth to me.
FWIW, I do use the vi-keys-in-minibuffer behaviour (and also vi emulation in bash/zsh), but it's probably something I could learn to live without.
I don't use VI mode in the mini buffer myself. I find it also to be more trouble than it's worth.
+1 However, I have a dual Emacs/vi background anyway (used to use Emacs for "large" things and vi for "small" things), so I could well imagine that die-hard vi users would prefer vi-keys-in-minibuffer. I presume this discussion is about what should be the default behavior, not whether vi-keys-in-minibuffer should be dropped completely. Cheers, Christoph -- Christoph Lange, Jacobs Univ.
