ctrl-e should copy from line below #875

Closed wbolster closed 9 years ago

wbolster commented 9 years ago

the insert mode ctrl-y command, which is implemented, copies characters from the line above. ctrl-e should do the same for line below.

it looks like this has deliberately been disabled in 3e556fb648263a9b7dab62dcc2e951d85a1df791, stating "disabled for compatibility with the common binding for going to the end of the line" somewhere in a code comment. i'm not sure where "common binding" comes from, but this is certainly not normal vim behaviour, and i expect vim-mode to work like vim itself.

Yeah, vim-mode is built to work like Atom in insert mode. If you want to override Atom's own key-bindings in insert mode, everything is all set up for you to do so. The command is: vim-mode:copy-from-line-below.

the whole point of vim-mode is that it acts like vim! using ctrl-e for jumping to the end of the line is actually an emacs binding (and atom apparently), but the point is, well, it's kinda obvious, vim is not emacs...

Actually <C-E> exists in Vim but for a completely different thing (see help here). Not that <C-Y> is also the opposite.

maxbrunsfeld commented 9 years ago

Yeah @casimir the binding you mentioned is for normal mode. This issue is talking about this one, for insert mode.

wbolster commented 9 years ago

i still fail to understand the reason for deviating from normal vim behaviour. why is ctrl-e special in insert mode?
