Re: [racket-users] vi-mode for racket cli

[Marc Kaufmann]

Since I had to look up this thread again, I wanted to mention that there is 
a way to avoid downloading readline-gpl. By default, the repl uses 
editline, which also has a way of switching on vi (or emacs) modes. Just 
edit/create the ~/.editrc file:

bind -v
bind "jj" vi-command-mode

and you have vi-mode with jj letting you escape into command mode.

 Racket's repl does not use readline for reading. Is there a way to get 
 vi-mode going anyway, either by wrapping readline around first or 
 something 
 else? And if it's possible, would this require switching off something 
 else 
 that is really important to have in the REPL?

 I hope someone else figured this one out before.

 Cheers,
 Marc

Fantastic, that was faster and easier than I thought! So nice to not
constantly mess up all my commands any more... A good start to a new week.

Ha, thanks. I should have searched the docs for readline, not for vi-mode
and vi mode. I'll let you know how it goes.

Re: [racket-users] vi-mode for racket cli

[Tom Gillespie]

I'm not sure if this will fix your vi-mode issues, but here is some info on
the readline situation. You should be able to get readline support by
installing readline-gpl via `raco pkg install readline-gpl` (as the name
suggests it was removed from core racket due to gpl compatibility
concerns).  Some additional info in the docs
, with an additional note
that `racket -il xrepl` is another way to start racket with readline
support (once you have readline-gpl installed). Best!

[racket-users] vi-mode for racket cli

[Marc Kaufmann]

Hi all,

I use vi-mode in the cli and in all the repls that use readline. Racket's 
repl does not use readline for reading. Is there a way to get vi-mode going 
anyway, either by wrapping readline around first or something else? And if 
it's possible, would this require switching off something else that is 
really important to have in the REPL?

I hope someone else figured this one out before.

Cheers,
Marc
