I am long time-vim user and recently discovered that emacs has viper-mode, offering best of both worlds (at least for me). However one thing is really bothering me since I am mostly coding in python and mixing of tabs and spaces is a big deal. When in insert mode I would like to insert viper-shift-width spaces instead of TAB when I pres...
Hi all, As a vim convert, I've gotten fairly used to viper mode. One issue that I've discovered, however, is that viper-auto-indent breaks all inferior modes. What happens is when I enter any sort of inferior mode (sql-mode, ess-mode, etc.) and hit Enter, the Enter key doesn't actually send the command off to the inferior process and gi...
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...
Hi! I'm using Viper, and I want to change its C-c and C-g to the original emacs functions. I can rebind C-g with (define-key viper-vi-global-user-map "C-g" 'keyboard-quit), but how can I rebind C-c, since it's a prefix key? Thanks! ...
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...
Hey all, I'm a long-time vim user trying to make the switch to emacs. I'm using viper-mode in emacs and I keep typing ESC (to get out of insert mode) and then a key (say, j). I type fast and often hit them at the same time. Emacs then thinks I'm hitting META-j and runs a function which I do not intend. I like using option as meta and d...
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...
I use viper-mode in emacs, but I want to use YASnippet as well. However, when I enable viper-mode and try using tab-completion through YASnippet, nothing happens. How do I get the two of them to work together? ...
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? ...
I've started to use emacs, and I've found out that while the editor-specific features of emacs are better than those of vi, the text-manipulation methods of vi are better than those of emacs (and easier on your control-pinky!). It seems that viper-mode, a marriage of the two best parts of each editor, is the ideal solution for someone t...
I'm trying to learn emacs, getting vi custom key bindings. Using Viper-mode, what is the correct way to re-bind a key? (I'm using Colemak keyboard layout(instead of qwerty) so have to change things like n->j) But would like it to work in viper-mode.
