The biggest problem with a kpart (or anything similar to that) is that all it lets you do is embed vim (or emacs). In doing so, you completely lose IDE integration. For example, the code completion stuff just isn't possible. This could be solved by making an object specification for an editor that included hooks for such things, but it is complicated. This is probably the reason we'll never see a mere plug-in for eclipse that adds a true vim mode. With eclipse, if you want to emulate vim, you'll need to build a completely new editor module that inherits all the code completion apis and also implements the full vim command set, rather than a keystroke layer on top of the original eclipse editor. > Assuming it did work, then it should work with any KDE application such > as KDevelop.
