✨ Vim-style modal editing #306

Open fwcd opened 2 years ago

fwcd commented 2 years ago

(First of all thanks for this awesome project, looks amazing already and I can't wait to play with it more.)

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. As a Vim user it would be great to have modal editing with Vim keybindings.

Describe the solution you'd like A vim mode, similar to VSCodeVim or Xcode 13's new Vim mode.

Additional context Perhaps this could be done via the proposed extension API, once ready:

Good idea but probably way out of scope for the initial 1.0 release

@fwcd just in case you're interested, kindaVim brings Vim Mode all over macOS apps, native and non native. (yes i'm the creator, it's closed source—since last week—and it's a paid app although trial is unlimited. anyways if it doesn't help just skip.)

I would suggest to look at neovim to provide the vim style editing. It's embeddable and offers full support for vim style editing: no need to define these one by one specifically for CodeEdit. For an example of how it works, take a look at vscode-neovim.

So, embedding neovim instead of making your own vim mode is easier to maintain and will have full support for all vim commands.

This is so important feature to implement in any new editor and it should feel native imo. you'll gain attention from a lot of developers and users by implementing this.

I'm here to support this feature. 🔝

Yep needed. Without this there is no reason to really bother installing an editor.
