Any other tweaks for making emacs as vim-like as possible would be appreciated as well. Addendum: The main reason I don't just use vim is that I love how emacs lets you open a file in two different frames [ADDED: sorry, this was confusing: I mean separate windows, which emacs calls "frames"]. It's like making a vertical split but I don...
There are important features of Emacs which are missing in Vim, such as the comint mode, and there are no scripts/plugins which can replace them. There are also benefits of Vim over Emacs, such as modal editing and generally better default shortcuts. However, Viper mode gets me both. Vimpulse also enables visual mode. Unfortunately, no ...
Hi! I'm moving from vi to emacs and, using viper and vimpulse, it gets pretty annoying when I C-w C-w to a window and cannot get back to the original one with the same command because the other buffer, which could be a help buffer, is not in the Viper mode. How can I fix this? I tried to add other modes to the viper configuration and m...
I'm using the Colemak keyboard layout, and want to try the Vim layout from here with Vimpulse. However, the layout remaps the command prefix Vim keys 'c' and 'd' among others, and these keys don't seem to be easily remappable with the standard Viper key remap command. They are all mapped to "viper-command-argument" in the viper keymap, a...
I've just recently started to use emacs a bit, solely for org-mode. I'm a heavy vim user, so I installed vimpulse to attempt to keep my org-mode usage as close to vim as possible. However, I've been hitting some errors when I try to use some features. For example, if I press V for visual line mode, select some lines, and then push d, it...
Hi, I obtained a git clone of vimpulse and followed the instructions for installation. It basically says to put (require 'vimpulse) in my .emacs file - but this will start viper/vimpulse upon startup, so I tried to have vimpulse load only if I invoke viper-mode with (add-hook 'viper-mode-hook (lambda () (require 'vimpuse)). But when I do...
Hi, does anyone know how to enable Ctrl-o to switch to normal-mode for one command in viper-mode or vimpulse? In viper-mode it's bound to open-line (which is what it does for vanilla Emacs and in vimpulse it is bound to (vimpulse-jump-backward ARG). I'm using Viper-mode + vimpulse at level 2. ...
Anyone else have any trouble with j and k in viper-mode when visual-line-mode is enabled? It skips many lines... is there any harm in re-binding them to next-line and previous-line, which recognizes visual "line breaks" in Emacs > version 23? ...
