Question: Are you open to adding vim-like key-bindings? #7

Open dumblob opened 11 years ago

dumblob commented 11 years ago

I'd like to use this editor because of its simplicity, responsiveness etc., but I'm used to vim-bindings in conjunction with some basic state-behavior (contrary to state-less as the current emacs-like one).

I'm aware of the "very religious" statement, but why not being "very schizophrenic-religious"? :)

Are there any plans to support it in the future?

No. However, there is a project that is based on godit and it follows the vi path. Check it out here: https://github.com/kisielk/vigo

As for godit, I want to leave it as it is, that is configuration-less. I have no goal making this editor to fulfill everybody's needs. It was made to work perfectly for me and I don't mind sharing the code. In general I will fix things or add new features only if I have a need for them. Sorry if that's disappointing, but seriously, take a look at the vigo link above or do your own fork.

I'll leave the issue open, because you can't really find vigo in github's forks menu.

Wow, I didn't find vigo although I tried really hard. Thank you!

BTW it's perfectly OK to be "minimal" without fulfilling everybody's needs and it surely isn't disappointing - IMHO it's the right way to go, to let it fit authors needs!
