Vim: <C-v> in insert mode #617

Open ghost opened 10 years ago

ghost commented 10 years ago

<C-v> in insert mode is used to enter a literal character.

If you want this feature in order to input non-printable characters, then Yi would have first to support them within text. (You may check it by putting several C-v in a text file, and then opening it in Yi to see what happens when you put the cursor at the end of line...)

ATM Yi is not a binary editor...

I hope to support at least viewing of binary files in the future and even have some branches with started work. Basically my approach is to split buffer into two types (through GADT), the one we have now and a binary one. It's just a lot of type changing so I need to put some more time off.
