Are you trying to replicate vim operation or has there been a 'fork' and bindings are vim-like?
IE: do you keep vim open and check it's operation against Leo? I see in current commit message: Added :r <return>filename<return> ... this works as described, but being different than vim, it becomes a confusing 3rd set of bindings to learn. In vim it is spelled : <optional whitespace> r filename <return> in vim :r<return> pastes a copy of the current file at the cursor There seems to be a world view difference: in vim, ':' enters command mode, in vim-mode, the ':' seems attached to a command, not sure how this plays out. If differences can't be helped, that's ok, and won't be a problem for Leo users learning vim through Leo's bindings. It is a problem for fingers trained by vim usage. (you are being haunted by the ghost of 'I hope they complain') :=] ) On Fri, Aug 8, 2014 at 7:46 AM, Edward K.
