vi (vim) mode #129

MRAAGH commented 4 years ago

Vim users get annoyed when we need to type without Vim keybindings. I realize this is a lot to ask, because the editor would need to be turned into a modal editor, and sequenced key bindings would need to be implemented. I might try to make it myself, as a plugin or fork.

Currently, gomuks is particularly unfriendly to Vim users, because whenever you try to go to normal mode (by pressing escape), your message is deleted!

Would love to be able to navigate using vim bindings as well, or the ability to create custom key bindings.

Having an ability to create custom bindings would be awesome

binex-dsk commented 3 years ago

absolutely, not having a vi mode just makes it 10x harder for me to use

for example, I was thinking something like this:

:r<number> or :room<number> would put you in the room that is down from the top
:d<number> or :dm<number> would put you in the direct message that is down from the top

and of course, regular vi stuff like the arrow keys, replace/delete operations, etc.

Would love that too. Custom key bindings might be even better.
