Vim Keybindings?

[mstevens 0]

Is there a way to get Vim keybindings in the IDE?

May be those can Help (simple google search)?

@DelphiUdit I am primarily using C++ Builder, try searching for "C++ Builder" Vim and see what you get.  Thanks though. I look at these.

Most of the basic editing functions and keyboard short cuts of the text editor apply equally to Delphi or C++.

But IDE menu Tools | Options and then scroll down to User Interface | Editor | Key mappings and the list of "out of the box" configurations does NOT include VIM.

Many IDE support Vim keybindings through specific plugins or extensions.

So I am replying to an old post as this thread comes up high on Google when looking for Vi(m) keybindings in Delphi.

Since the projects posted by @DelphiUdIT were abandoned I have forked the latest and rewritten a lot of it to extend its functionality.

So if anyone ends up here you can use Vi4D to get a lot of the bindings working.

This with the newly merged Relative Line Numbers in CnWizards gives a pretty good combination.

 

PS: There is no support for C++ Builder at this time but it might be possible by building to a DLL and installing that instead of the BPL.

If someone shows interest I will take a look at it.

Thanks @AntoineGS I have been thinking about doing this for a long time. I will definitely check this out when I find 5 mins!
