Hi all, I've started playing around with Evil recently, and am quite impressed. Unlike most people here, I come from almost purely Emacs background with very little Vim experience.
I've run into a couple of issues: First, dw and db don't seem to work very consistently for me combined with the '.' key. In particular, the following occurs: (1) When doing dw or db and then pressing ... a few times, "After 0 kbd macro iterations: Quit " message will pop up in the minibuffer when pressing '.', and deletion repetitions no longer work. Movement commands don't clear the error; I need to repeat dw or db again, or toggle insert mode. (2) dw ....... doesn't work across lines; when end-of-line is reached, it starts deleting backwards instead of deleting words on a new line. There isn't a particular sequence of actions that I found that triggers those errors, but they appear often enough to render dw and db unusable for me. Is it a known issue and is there a workaround? Second, there appears to be a bug with evil-search-forward and C-g. In the help, it says "C-g when search is successful aborts and moves point to starting point." (This is in fact standard emacs behavior.) This doesn't work for me; point stays at the first match, and to get back to the starting point I need to hit C-o. It's kind of annoying because I often cancel searches. Finally, is there a setting equivalent to Vim's :set selection=exclusive? Coming from Emacs, I find visual mode's current "inclusive" behavior to be deeply strange. I'll ease myself into using Evil more over the next few days. We'll see how it's going to co-exist with my existing emacs usage patterns :) Cheers, --Leo _______________________________________________ implementations-list mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/implementations-list
