The Vim mode for Visual Studio Code(vscode) that works as expected.

amVim for VS Code

The Vim mode for Visual Studio Code that works as expected.

Key features

• Vim style keybindings & looks
• Normal, Visual and Visual Line modes support
• Multi-cursor support
• Works with VS Code's default behaviors

Not supported

• : started commands: Only a few are supported now.
• Visual Block mode: Please use multi-cursor instead for now.
• Custom keybindings: On the roadmap.

Commands

Check the list here.

Configuration

You can override default configurations in User and Workspace Settings.

amVim.bindCtrlCommands

Boolean, Default: true

Set to false to disable Ctrl+<key> keybindings.

amVim.mimicVimSearchBehavior

Boolean, Default: true

Set to false to keep VSCode's keybinding when searching.

amVim.startInInsertMode

Boolean, Default: false

Set to true to start in Insert mode when opening files.

amVim.smartRelativeLineNumbers

Boolean, Default: false

Set to true to will make line numbers relative when not in Insert mode.

amVim.useSystemClipboard

Boolean, Default: false

Set to true to copy to and paste from the system clipboard.

amVim.vimStyleNavigationInListView

Boolean, Default: true

Set to false to disable Vim style navigation in sidebar.

Contexts

You can make use of when clause contexts to construct keybindings that only apply in specific scenarios.

amVim.mode

String, Possible values: NORMAL, INSERT, VISUAL, VISUAL LINE

Tracks the current editing mode. For backward compatibility, REPLACE mode will appear as INSERT.

amVim.waitingForInput

Boolean

Set to true when amVim is waiting for further input to match a command, otherwise false. This can be used to set up keybindings that perform a custom function when keys are pressed independently, without overriding the default Vim style behavior for those keys when prefixed.

For example, the following configuration will redefine Vim style navigation keys j and k to move the native cursor, stepping over folded code and stepping into wrapped lines, while still allowing longer Vim commands like 3j to work as expected:

[
  {
    "key": "j",
    "command": "cursorDown",
    "when": "editorTextFocus && amVim.mode == 'NORMAL' && !amVim.waitingForInput"
  },
  {
    "key": "k",
    "command": "cursorUp",
    "when": "editorTextFocus && amVim.mode == 'NORMAL' && !amVim.waitingForInput"
  }
]

Feel free to open issues to report bugs or require features.

Pull requests are welcomed too! See VS Code's official instructions about:

  • Protip: change suite( to suite.only( in a test file to run only a single test suite at a time. This saves quite a lot of time. Remember to remove the .only part before making a Git commit.

amvim-for-vscode's Issues

Need to mark version in repo with a bumped prerelease number

When doing releases, bump the version in the repo to a "pre" version immediately after a release.

For example, right now, the latest release is 0.1.1. The version in the repo should now be at 0.1.2-pre. When doing the next release, make one commit changing it to 0.1.2, prepare a build from that, and then immediately make another commit changing the version string in the repo to 0.1.3-pre.

If the next version ends up being 0.2.1 instead of 0.1.2, it's will be okay to change it directly from 0.1.2-pre to 0.2.1.

If you make a build right now, the build and the latest release will be given identical version numbers, but they're not identical builds.

Paragraph Up / Down not recognized

When I type CMD+{ or CMD+} I'm not taken between paragraphs. I'm using 1.2.3.

Support for ^F ^B (window N pages Forwards/Backwards)

As a long time vi(1) then vim(1) user (since the '80s) I use ^F and ^B for navigation ALL the time.

Ctrl+C does not go back to Normal mode!

Please, please, please add this feature. I've tried the other 2 VSC vim extensions and they both do not support it either. Reaching for ESC is a pain on my hands. Having mapped Ctrl to Caps Lock (and leaving it that way for over a year), it's so much easier to do Ctrl+C.

Custom mapping supports

Enable custom mapping by exploding actions to vscode.

"No suggestions." box always present

the subj
the suggestWidget box is always present once you start typing in the INSERT mode, even if there is nothing to suggest (displaying 'No suggestions'). This is an abnormal behavior and does not occur when extension is inactive.

cheers!

`n` on multi-window is buggy

Press n when multiple windows are opened cause cursor to jump to wrong window.

esc doesn't go to normal mode

Hey,

I'm OS X and when i press esc nothing happens, do i need to map ? trial an error i found that control + p goes into normal mode tho.

y does not yank to clipboard

So now that we've got Ctrl+C, I need a way to copy+paste text between VS:C and other applications. Selection/highlighting only lets me copy 1 line (I'm not sure if this is amVim's fault or VS:C). Pressing y just yanks to some internal clipboard.

Normally in gvim, I would just use selection and middle-click to paste to other applications. Being able to yank to clipboard though would be very useful. I'm just not sure how possible or difficult that is with the underlying technologies.

I cant write ;

In spanish keyboard not is posible write ; instead visual code whir this extension write <

Go into insert mode always switches to US keyboard

I am using amVim with Norwegian keyboard layout. Whenever I press "i", i get US keyboard mapping. But, after moving around, the Norwegian keyboard layout is restored.

How can I help debugging this error?

code duplication in Dispatcher's mode registration

modes gets defined, and then we iterate over a second array literal containing them.

`W` motions do not work

For example, given the text test,one two, with the cursor at the start, dw should leave ,one two, and dW should leave two.

w-based motions work, while W-based ones do not.

Cursor key support in visual mode

Currently the visual mode is cancelled when using cursor keys, would be great if they were supported.

Context: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11503077

Numbers before commands

I can't, for example, do 2dd to delete two lines. Looked through open tickets and didn't see one for this, apologies if its a dupe.

Support ~ (tilde) to change case

append after the cursor (aka 'a' key) does not work

if the cursor is at the end of the line the 'a' key does not append, but rather acts as 'i' key

Thanks a lot for this extension!! The other two are impossible. Owe you a beer!

Support repeat command in Visual and VisualLine modes

Navigating between split panes

There is one important feature I am missing, is the ability to navigate between split panes with the keyboard, with vim keys like: C-w l to go 1 page right

Clicking exits Visual mode

In both vim and gvim, when you click while in visual mode, the selection should expand to the character (or line if in visual line mode) of the click.

emmet abbreviations don't expand with Tab

Hi, thanks for the awesome extension! It's great to have vim bindings working in an organic way with VSCode.

Unfortunately, it looks like something with Tab key handling breaks emmet abbreviation expansion. For example, typing the vscode docs sample ul.generic-list>lorem10.item*4 in insert mode and then hitting Tab just inserts a tab character instead of expanding the emmet expression.

Surround commands

Support surrounding commands like https://github.com/tpope/vim-surround.

Support for Text Objects

I'm creating an issue to track this feature. See Text objects (only in Visual mode or after an operator) in issue #1

These are a few of my commonly used ones:

• ciw - change in word
• viw - visual select in word
  • I typically use this followed with yank and paste
• ci( or ci) - change in parens
  • Useful to change function arguments or if/switch conditions, etc
• ci< or ci> - change in angle brackets
  • Useful to change html, for example, change <div> to <span>
• cit - change in tag
  • Example <p>Some | text</p>: If cursor is l, ciw will replace Some text inside <p></p>

race conditions with motions and revealing `InCenterIfOutsideViewport`

Sometimes when the viewport gets scrolled when using j or k, it doesn't scroll one line at a time, but instead it's more like it's scrolling a half-page at a time with the cursor jumping to the middle every time, i.e., similar to what would happen in Vim if you held down j and then pressed zz every time you reached the bottom of the screen.

This looks like it might be a race condition involving MoveCursor.byMotions, ActionReveal.primaryCursor, and the vscode framework. I.e., the async calls start falling behind, so the cursor is off the screen by the time the call to revealRange is made.

To see this, try using j to scroll through a long file, like extHost.api.impl.ts from the vscode source. It may be hard to catch at first, so it may help by trying this while your computer is running under a load. (I originally was going to suggest restarting VSCode just before trying to reproduce this, but it looks like that actually makes it harder to observe. Instead just try using the button in the Explore sidebar to close all working files, closing all open editors, and then opening, e.g., exHost.api.impl.ts.) After a while, I can reliably trigger this when pressing j a single time to move down to a partially off-screen line, even with no significant background CPU load.

Implement `replacePreviousChar`

dd on last line doesn't work

After pressing G to go to the bottom of a text file, press dd won't let me delete the line. To be specific, there was a single character on it: }.

Caps lock broken in Insert Mode

STR

1. Open a new file.
2. Hit I to enter insert mode.
3. Attempt to type "FOO BAR BAZ"

Results

It comes out as "fOO bAR bAZ"

yank and paste do not behave like in sublime

I'm transitioning from sublime, and the difference of yank and paste between this plugin and sublime is really bugging me. I can give an example if the author has not used or does not have access to sublime text; the main difference is that when pasting, the new text is inserted after the newline character instead of before, giving odd behavior.

Selecting these with v...

Yank, and paste from this position...

And you get this...

Obey user settings for showing suggestions

There's an "editor.quickSuggestions" setting. If the user has disabled it, we shouldn't indiscriminately show the suggestions box like we do right now.

"when": "NORMAL" }

use when to special the normal mode.

Support "inside" command

The "i" modifier to many commands allows it to affect all text "inside" characters. For example, "ci)" would call "change inside parenthesis", finding the first ( to the left of the current cursor and deleting the text to the first ) to the right of the current cursor, then switching to insert mode. This works with many commands like d for delete, y for yank, v for visual block, etc.

It's a huge productivity boost and an key benefit of vim keybindings.

Eliminate block cursor hack

Version 0.10.8 has now has native support for a block cursor. (See microsoft/vscode PR #1586.)

ActionBlockCursor has a hack to simulate a block cursor. Unfortunately, toggling the block style is still not accessible through the extensions API. (See microsoft/vscode#561.) The implementation also has some minor aesthetic/readability issues. (See microsoft/vscode#2943.)

We can remove the hack now and recommend users toggle the editor.cursorStyle setting for themselves, or we can decide to wait for one or more of the outstanding issues to be resolved.

This issue can serve as a tracking bug.

Conflict with VS Code autoClosingBrackets

After installing this plugin, the VS Code auto closing bracket function is broken.

1. When I type function show( the ) shows automatically as function show(), but when I type another ), it becomes function show()) and the cursor is stayed in the middle of two )). Only if I input something into the bracket like function show(msg) then the cursor moves to the end without any problem.
2. After I type function show(msg) { the } doesn't show out automatically.

Cursor's column position reduced to shortest line in vertical moves.

Hopefully that makes sense. For example if the cursor is at column 20 and moved through a line with only 10 characters the cursor is then at col 10. Moving through an empty line resets the cursor to col 1.

Indent/outdent keybindings in visual mode and visual line mode are wrong

A single press of < or > should be all it takes. See :help v_< and :help v_>.

Horizontally navigating with VIM shortcuts (h, l, 0, $, t, f, etc) does not horizontal scroll

Pressing non-VIM horizontal movement keys (left/right arrow, home, end, etc) will horizontal scroll the editor pane if needed to keep the cursor in the viewport, but pressing the vim shortcuts (h, l, 0, $, t, f, etc) does not. Pressing an arrow key after the cursor has gone out of the viewport will scroll and show the cursor in the viewport.

Vertical scrolling does work though (j, k, G, gg, etc)

Use `getWordRangeAtPosition` to do word motion

Respect language settings about word separators.

Support number modifier for "p"

We cant do 3p at the moment to paste yanked text 3 times. I use this all the time, please support it.

j doesn't go to next "virtual" line like down-arrow does

1. Turn on text wrapping in user settings.
2. Press j on a line that's wrapped - it'll go to the next "real" line
3. Go back and press down-arrow. It'll go to the next "virtual" line, which is the same line but wrapped creating multiple lines within the line.

Support for Nyy & Ndd

Nyy for yanking number of lines

Jump to line (#gg or #G)

While G (top of file) and gg (bottom of file) are supporting, support is needed to allow prefixing either motion with a number to jump to a specific line

`cw` shouldn't consume space after current word

If I have some line fum bar baz where my cursor is located over the "f", and I'd like to change this into foo bar baz, then I should be able to hit cwfoo. In amVim 0.0.15 when I do this I get foobar baz. This is because amVim doesn't handle the special case for cw, unlike Vim. See :help cw.

How to use multi-cursor mode

Thanks for this extension.

README said

Visual Block mode: Please use multi-cursor instead.

My question is

how to use multi-cursor mode to modify a block to insert or indent?

Thanks
