JTextArea in vi mode

Question

Is there a free and open source extension of JTextArea that would support "vi mode"?

Answer 1

AFAIK, no. This is such an obscure request, I think you'd have to code it yourself.

Answer 2

Of course, I can't be sure that such a component does not exist, but I'd be truly astonished if it does. There is a vi plugin for Eclipse, which presumably includes a Java implementation of the vi keybindings. However, that plugin is commercial, so you can't legitimately reuse that source code. As a matter of curiosity, what exactly do you want this for?

Answer 3

Maybe you can find useful info here: http://jvi.sourceforge.net/.
