Hi Jason :) Didn't you already talk with Michael Kifer times ago? I remember he said something like not being interested in vim keybindings, but maybe I remember wrong.
Yes, I spoke with him. I was discussing vimpact, which was the precursor to vimpulse. He said[1] that eventually maybe things could be merged in.
I tried to follow the 'y,'z path, and still I had to redefine yet another viper function. It works like vim, except that instead of '< and '> it uses 'y and 'z. I'm feeling like entering kludge-world, and this is not a good thing. Recognizing '< and '> would mean injecting even more kludges, and directly modifying viper to be more vimpulse-friendly would mean: a) injecting ugly kludges to make viper aware of my code (that's what has been done redefining viper's functions btw) b) refactoring viper to be more easily extended, and to be sure that the refactoring doesn't break anything a better viper knowledge than mine is needed I think.
Maybe Michael could help. I think you should CC him on all emails where you think he could be a big help; or you should forward him those emails. Like this one. :) ^ [1]. http://snipurl.com/kiferreply (points to an archived copy of his reply on Nabble)
