Hi Frank, from a pure user's perspective (so far) I highly welcome the initiative to merge vim-mode and Vimpulse. However, I'd like to ask both sides to pay attention to the default behavior. I would appreciate if the result of the merger had (at least) two default profiles – one with the former vim-mode behavior, and one with the former vimpulse behavior – which can be selected by some easy configuration/customization option.
My reason for saying that is that I'm mostly used to Vimpulse (running in Viper's "expert mode" 5, i.e. with full access to Emacs keybindings). When I once gave a quick try to vim-mode, I realized that some things work differently. For example: IIRC C-f in Vimpulse does "page down" by default, whereas in vim-mode it does something else. C-e in Vimpulse doesn't map to any vim-like feature, but to end-of-visual-line, whereas in vim-mode it does something else (don't remember, maybe copying from above/below in insert mode?). This is not to say that vim-mode did anything _wrong_; in fact each mode seemed consistent in itself. But I would like any future version of these modes to be easily able to "do the right thing" – whatever the "right thing" from _my_ point of view might be ;-) Cheers, Christoph -- Christoph Lange, http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:Langec, Skype duke4701 _______________________________________________ implementations-list mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/implementations-list
