vim / emacs mode problems

[felixroos]

control based shortcuts don't seem to work as expected:

Just trying the emacs mode.. But didn't seem to work I tried:

• cursor movements ^b ^f ^n ^p ^a ^e
• cut to end of like ^k
• I-search ^s but nothing matched emacs expectation, most were captured by browser functions, some like ^a did something else (select line instead of jump to start)

I activated Vim-Mode in Settings. Very cool!

Most things work as expected, but unfortunately, the Keys Ctrl-F/Ctrl-B are not working as they do in vim. In vim, these go a page down or up, respectively. However, here, they go a character forward or backward. This seems to be the default behaviour for CodeMirror (https://codemirror.net/5/doc/manual.html#commands) I've tried the local strudel in Chrome and Opera and in both browsers the behaviour is character-wise movement instead of jumping page down/up.

more notes from loopology:

" Ctrl-B, Ctrl-F don't behave in vim's way (still do the described character-wise movement). Also, e.g. https://strudel.cc/?MTyZAXjUUTuS contains the line

.sound("[sawtooth:0:.3, gm_fx_atmosphere]")

When the cursor is on the [ and % is pressed, the cursor should jump to the matching ]. Instead it moves to the enclosing left (. This only happens with nested brackets, though. If pressing % again in this example, the cursor will jump to the matching ).

When pressing Ctrl-V, vim would change into visual block selection mode. However in strudel, the cursor jumps down (as Ctrl-F should but doesn't). However, Shift-V works in strudel in vim mode (visual line selection mode). "

Adding to this: visual mode (Ctrl/Cmd+V) currently doesn't work with the Vim mode. It is quite useful to do structural editing on multiple lines. Potential use cases: commenting/indenting multiple lines, prefixing something in a table/object, etc.
