I will. However I'm not interested in duplicating Vim functionality.
I want the navigation and movement combinations I use most.
And they seem to work.

Yes. But I get
  exit-minibuffer: No catch for tag: exit, nil

when asking it to find the file Main.scala

Maybe its time to learn how to debug Emacs then..

When testing Emacs plugin I rather restart than try to update scripts
using reload-file or such

How are you supposed to scroll in vimpulse

ctrl-u is still mapped to emacs. m-v does no longer work.
Is this due to my (setq viper-expert-level '4) ?
Yes it is. So I have to rebind something.

in command line I'm missing ctrl-u eg when opening files
c-a c-k is bearable though.

Thanks for your help - and to all who worked on this .el files!

You should try to integrate vimpulse into mainline Emacs if at all possible.
