I'm used to the vi(m) editor, and am using MS VisualStudio 2005 at work. I couldn't find a free vi add-in (there's one for the 2003 version :-( ). I've googled a bit, saw that there was a 'Google summer of code' project this year to write such an add-in, and am eagerly awaiting the result. I've also heard of ViEmu (not free, and I can't test it at work :( ).

I was wondering if anyone in my situation had found a solution (and/or if anyone had tested ViEmu)?

Edit: can't test at work because they are paranoid about what we install on our boxes: it has to go through channels,..., and for 30 days I don't reckon it's worth it (and I have no Windows box at home).

As both answers were quite equivalent, I ended up accepting the first one that came in.

ViEmu works great with Visual Studio. I used Vi(m) strictly in Linux, but I was turned on to bringing the Vi(m) editing process into the Windows world by JP Boodhoo. JP praises about it also.

+3  A: 

ViEmu works great. I've been using it for about a year now and couldn't imagine coding in Visual Studio without it.

Why can't you test it at work? It has a 30 day free trial.
