global vim mode #8

Open dalejung opened 8 years ago

dalejung commented 8 years ago

Replicate how I had it with ipython notebooks where there was a quasi two layer modal system.

If I am in global-normal-mode and the current pane is vim, going into global-insert-mode would be synced with vim. so hitting 'i' would also put me into insert mode with vim.

in the notebook setup, moving from cell (in this case panes) was done with a capital movement key.

honestly this model might not work with i3 since in notebook I couldn't move to other notebooks. it was a constricted model.

Still worth thinking about.

Really, I just wanted the ability to leap instead of going through every pane. Like if a vim window had 10 vertical splits, I'd have to move over that many times to hit the next tmux/i3 window. Though maybe I could just use another key binding for i3 focus.
