Enable use of vim bindings

eh-dub commented 8 years ago

This project is amazing and is almost everything I want out of a Markdown editor. The one thing missing is the text editor part: vim.

I was digging around in the Application Package and noticed that you're using CodeMirror. It seems simple to enable their vim bindings.

Could you make this an option?

voidCounter commented 3 years ago

Yes! Yes! I need vim mode like obsidian.

adroste commented 3 years ago

I guess the devs don't use vim and therefore neither see the necessity nor the potential of vim bindings.

Javen-Liu commented 3 years ago

Maybe the developers have other important things to do, with no enough time to do this, after all, typora is almost the best editor of md : >

+1 for vim edit mode. I love typora. It is so useful for my workflow. If it can add the feature of supporting vim edit mode, it will more perfact.

I just discovered how well <video> is supported in Typora. I already loved this markdown editor and now I love it even more. The only thing missing now is VIM bindings. Please please please! :) ❤️

with VIM keybindings typora would be the uncontested king of all markdown editors

At least the possibility of binding the essential cursor movements (Ctrl+J, Ctrl+K, Ctrl+L, Ctrl+I) could be a huge help in performance. May be some suggestions of how to hack it? Moving cursor up, right, down and left with custom key bindings will surely be a high impact on performance. Many thanks for such great editor

@fico-LK If you are on windows, you can use autohotkey to set those not only in typora but in any application. That is what I did, and I can share my config (though it is not as elaborate as some you can find online). There is a native way to make it work on Ubuntu, but I did not try that. Don't know for mac.

fico-LK commented 3 years ago

@vasalx many thanks for your comment. Actually, I'm working with Linux Mint. I tried some bindings with xbindkeys combined with xte command, but no success so far.

fico-LK commented 3 years ago

Done

Finally, I have a reasonable solution implemented for linux environment, based on 'xte' and ' xbindkeys' commands. Rather tricky to make it work, but now its doing the job almost as pretended. A fair solution until our Typora creators give us a custom navigation binding solution. I developed instructions for Vim navigation flavor (left, right, up, down) implemented on J, L, I, K modified with the Control left key.

Some caveats:

I use a bash script to switch on/off the keybinding in order to activate it only when working with Typora . Some ( not all ) short-cuts of other apps used simultaneously could be in a manner affected but nothing to write home about.

Today it's five years since this issue was created. It seems like nobody from the Typora team is going to answer the request... 🙄

It's a shame, since this a so nice md editor

+1, literally everyone is begging for it.

ctwowt commented 3 years ago

+1000000000, I will pay for it if vim key binding feature is added.(especially can set jj map to ESC in vim mode)

Neovim 0.5.0 stable was just released. Neovim was designed for this very idea and can be embedded into another GUI / front-end. I use it with VSCode as an extension and it works quite well.

Typora could adopt this to bring native Vim functionality to the editor and would be amazing.
