Cool! I use a tiny subset of Vim capability, probably most often used is '/' to find text, followed by substitution ':% s/text/replaced text/g '*' find next occurrence of this word '#' find previous occurrence yank and paste
I've also gotten to depend on the alias of 'jj' to esc, allowing entering normal mode without leaving home keys. If these and a few others were implemented I'd probably work in vim-mode, but I want to avoid the situation of having to learn 3 sets of commands: - Leo - vim - vim in Leo I think vim-mode will be great for bringing the benefits of modal editing to Leo users who don't know vim, experienced vim users will soon encounter something that doesn't work and either complain or abandon. of possible interest http://neovim.org/ "First-class support for embedding Since Neovim will provide the interface to interacting with text, any program will be able to tap into this potential and be able to include Neovim commands right in the application" Thanks, Kent On Sun, Aug 3, 2014 at 5:43 AM, Edward K.
