[slynch8]

• yy shouldnt move down a line
• • shouldnt count as a "word"
• 81G should go to line 81 but it just goes to the bottom
• 4dd doesnt put 4 lines in copy buffer, only the last i think
• I works weirdly sometimes with the beginning of lines
• d$ should delete to end of line
• dw should delete word
• ctrl-r for redo
• 3cw and c3w should delete 3 words and enter insert mode, but doesn't seem to work

[slynch8]

• When I switch mode, the cursor also appears in the other editor pane
• HalfBlock mode is always white even if a colour override is set
• vim: You can't put the cursor beyond the last character
• vim: When making a selection, it will always include the character the cursor is on.

• page/updown doesn't work in output window in vim mode

Missing commands and issues with current commands. This list is not exhaustive, but a lot of the bread and butter of vim usage.

Moving:

• e - Puts the cursor at the end of a word (Current issues: moves to whitespace then to start of next word, should only move from one end to the next, also it currently doesn't move onto the next line)
• } - Takes you to the start of the next paragraph or block of text
• { - Takes you to the start of the previous paragraph or block of text

• gg - Places the cursor at the # line of the file

• zz - Scrolls the window until the cursor is in the center of the window.
• f - Find next character on line and move cursor to there
• F - Find first character before the current cursor position
• t - Find next character on line and move cursor to position - 1.
• T - Find first character before the current cursor position + 1.

Editing:

• yy - Copies a line (When pasting after a yy, it should create a new line and paste there, currently seems to paste at the cursor position on line below)
• yw - Copies from cursor position to the end of the word.
• yj - Copies current line and line below
• yk - Copies current line and line above
• y#j - Copies from current line + # lines below
• y#k - Copies from current line + # lines above
• yl / yh - Copies current character under the cursor
• y#l / y#h - Copies # amount of characters to the right or left of the cursor
• y$ - Copies from where your cursor is to the end of a line
• yiw - Copies the current word.
• yip - Copies the current paragraph.
• yap - Copies the current paragraph including the whitespace either side of the paragraph.
• d - Cuts highlighted text (currently seems to just delete the whole line if something is highlighted)
• dp - Cuts from cursor position to end of paragraph.
• diw - Cuts whole word
• dip - Cuts paragraph
• dap - Cuts paragraph including line of white space either side of it.
• dt - Cuts until character. EG, dt) would cut everything up until the bracket
• df - Cuts up to and including character.
• dT - Cuts until character working backwards from cursor position.
• dF - Cuts up to and including character working backwards from cursor position.
• ct - Cuts until character and puts you in insert mode.
• cip - Cuts paragraph and puts you in insert mode.
• ciw - Change word (Cuts whole word and puts you in insert mode)
• ci( - Change all inside () (Cuts everything inside brackets and puts you in insert mode)
• ci{ - Change all inside {} (Cuts everything inside brackets and puts you in insert mode)
• ci" - Change all inside "" (Cuts everything inside quotes and puts you in insert mode)
• ci' - Change all inside '' (Cuts everything inside quotes and puts you in insert mode)
• cip - Cuts paragraph and puts you in insert mode
• cap - Cuts paragraph including whitespace either side of paragraph and puts you in insert mode
• r - replace current character with the next character you type (stays in command mode after doing it).
• ~ - Alternate capitalisation of current character
• s - Substitute current character (Cuts current character and puts you in insert mode)
• d0 - Deletes everything from where your cursor is to the beginning of the line
• dgg - Deletes everything from where your cursor is to the beginning of the file
• dG - Deletes everything from where your cursor is to the end of the file
• u - Undo the last operation; u# allows you to undo multiple actions. Although this is implemented, it should undo the whole of the last edit, currently it undoes each character that you typed one by one.
• . - Repeats the last action/command
• P paste to before the cursor or the line above current cursor position if you're pasting a line/paragraph

Searching:

• /[keyword] - Searches for text in the document where keyword is whatever keyword, phrase or string of characters you're looking for
• n - Searches your text again in whatever direction your last search was
• N - Searches your text again in the opposite direction
• • • After using * to search the current word n and N should then allow you to go back and forth in the code iterating each instance of that word.

Sorry it's a bit of a long list but it'd be awesome to get this functionality as I use most of these all the time, especially the 3 character commands like ciw, ci( etc and one of the most useful commands is '.' to repeat the last command. I'll take a look at the py file and see what I can add myself.

Hi! Wanted to add a couple more that I noticed to the list:

• ^: go to the beginning of the line
• W , E, B move by one "WORD" (rather than "word")

[slynch8]

Still a long way to go, but the latest version has some of these (1.0.10) https://github.com/slynch8/10x/blob/main/PythonScripts/Vim/Vim.py

[hkleynhans]

Some missing items for my worflow:

Ctrl-[ should behave like Esc in all situations; including when wanting to stop auto-completion. (Right now it seems to just unindent) Ctrl-n to go to the next item in the completion list (this is still "new file") Ctrl-p to go to the previous item in the completion list.

Hi,

I noticed that sometimes I lose the capacity to undo (both using ctrl-z and u) on a file, and need to close and reopen it to be able to get it working at all.

I haven't been able to reproduce it without the vim plugin enabled, so I assume it's a problem with the plugin itself.

I don't have any specific reproduction steps either. It happens eventually on every file, but it can be hours or minutes between, and I haven't noticed any patterns on actions that could trigger it.

I wonder if anyone else has seen the same issue, or if it's something specific to my setup / workflow.

Best regards.

I'm looking for a repro for this one, let me know if you spot any patterns.

[javiersalcedopuyo]

Found a way to reproduce it:

1. Enable the vim plugin
2. Make changes to a file
3. Enter Insert mode
4. Open a panel that has text input (find file, workspace search, find symbol, find function, etc)
5. Try to undo the changes

Doesn't happen with the little search box of "Find" or "Find / Replace". Doesn't happen if you open the panel while in Normal or Visual mode. Doesn't happen with the vim plugin disabled.

Good find! thanks.

I've uploaded a fix in early access build (1.0.181)
