It is, however, still weak with languages that heavily rely on IDE support, like Java and C#. I could have been using Emacs all that time and increasing my knowledge and library. I've gone through several generations of IDEs and programmer's editors that have come and gone in the past 20+ years. because I mostly work in the terminal), all it really took was a Sunday afternoon researching settings, key bindings and modes, before it was almost as usable as any GUI editor.Įmacs is awesome. But it can do all these things now (although I still have terminal configuration files to map function keys in Cygwin, Rxvt etc. Then what really made it work was finding out about package repositories.Įmacs, when I first started out, didn't understand the arrow keys properly on my terminal, and required you to learn all the C-n, C-p, C-f, C-b etc.
#LIGHTTABLE ATOM THEME HOW TO#
What made it work was (a) learning how to tweak the configuration to suit me, (b) learning Emacs jargon equivalents (chiefly: selection => region, cursor => point, open => find, file => buffer, pane => window) and (c) already knowing enough lisp to be able to tweak configuration further than simple variables and modes. It took me a good 15 years before I started using Emacs a few months ago. implies that there was no exact equivalent as of Febraury 2013. Evil has a rough equivalent to that option in evil-cross-lines (a boolean), but I don’t know if it has an equivalent that lets you selectively enable wrapping only for Backspace and Space. The cause of that behavior in Vim is the 'whichwrap' option’s value containing “b”. I did just notice an inconsistency with Backspace, but it doesn’t sound like what you’re talking about: if you press Backspace in Normal mode while the cursor is at the leftmost column, the cursor wraps to the previous line in Vim, but stays in the same place in Emacs. But I don’t see anything in it that would change the behavior of Backspace. If I press Backspace in Normal mode while the cursor in the middle of a line, the cursor moves back one character as if you pressed `h`. Emacs displays Quit in this case, while Vim just exits silently. In Command-line mode, if there is no text left but ‘:’, it exits Command-line mode, changing to Normal mode. In Command-line mode (by typing `:`), when there is text after ‘:’ and before the cursor, typing Backspace deletes one character behind the cursor. In all of the following cases, Vim 7.3 and Emacs 24 with Evil act the same: I don’t understand your backspace problem.

Plus Vim wouldn’t have Evil’s and Emacs’ keyboard conflicts, of course. I suppose you’re mainly missing Vim’s large ecosystem of plugins that are made to work with Vim keybindings and Vim’s editing model – though I see that surround.vim has been ported ( ).
I’d say you’re not missing much with Evil that would be in Vim. Those conflicts aren’t really Evil’s fault – they’re inevitable when combining third-party plugins that don’t explicitly support Evil – but they can be annoying. My only problems with Evil are where Emacs or Emacs plugins’ bindings conflict with Vim bindings, such as v_^G (that is, Ctrl-G in Visual mode) meaning “Quit” instead of “Switch to Select Mode”. It includes even relatively-obscure features like visual block mode, R, K, v_o, :%!sort, ^W window split/switch/close commands, and Vim’s tree undo model. I’d say Evil is another great, thorough emulation of Vim. I’ve used Evil in Emacs with, after having learned Vim. Keep it up!Įdit: I also notice that the logo looks like an iOS7 version of React's logo: The progress so far looks excellent and I can't wait to try it out. (fairly close and getting better every day)īut I don't mean to sound like such a pessimist. This allows a perfect recreation of Vim while letting you customize the application experience on top of it.Īside from that approach, there are a few faithful Vim recreations that I've discovered out of the dozens that I've tried. There are other ways to integrate Vim modes in your editor such as using the (inappropriately named) "Netbeans interface" which actually allows Vim to run in the background while you integrate your UI on top of it across a serializable bridge. For the people who you're selling on that Vim mode (the people who would care that your editor provides it) 90% isn't good enough. I'd rather see more editor developers spend time finding a solution that provides a truly authentic Vim mode instead of spending countless hours merely approaching 90% compatibility. But the absence of a truly native feeling Vim (that last 10%) is a deal breaker for many. There are countless 80 or 90% complete Vim modes in various modern editors. I am a little pessimistic about the Vim mode. I really can't wait for this to be released.
