[SOLVED] vim-mode "jk" command mode sequence

[liamdiprose]

In vim-mode, you can escape to command mode with "jj", this is great, but some people (including myself) use multi-character sequences instead; "jk" for example.

In vim, you can bind "jk" to Esc with this command :inoremap jk <Esc>

Would be great to have this in vim-mode; I'll have a scratch around in the code, but I'm not with my Perl

my sequence of choice is "kj", so I second this. Also, did you get anywhere looking around in the code? I'm not up on my Perl as well.

This is an ugly hack, but if you want to use 'jk' you would make the following change on line ~2749

>             if (not defined $map->{map} or chr($key) eq $map->{map}) {
---
<             if (not defined $map->{map} or chr($key) eq 'k') {

and then you would do /set vim_mode_cmd_seq j

Thanks for the hack - its far futher than where I got.

As our difference in preference shows, if this functionality was to be added to the repository, it would need to be configurable, for example, /set vim_mode_cmd_seq jk

I'm going to assume this is quite a bit more involved than this simple hack. Combined with being a mere script and the lack of attention, I'm going to close/resolve this issue and hope others find @lime45 's solution.
