atom / vim-mode

Next generation vim support for atom

Vim Mode package

Provides Vim modal control for Atom, blending the best of Vim and Atom.

Current Status - DEPRECATED in favor of vim-mode-plus

We're not maintaining this package anymore, because vim-mode-plus has more features and is very well maintained.

vim-mode's Issues

Add vip

In VIM vip will select the current paragraph.

Modifier `j` and `k` off-by-one

In Vim, dj and dk deletes two lines, while yj and yk yanks two lines. d2j affects three lines, and so on.

In Atom Vim mode it appears j/k is implemented the same as h/l and affects one less line than in Vim mode.

Command mode text substitution isn't working.

Tried to use

:s/Class/class/

but nothing showed up, Not sure if this text replace is implemented yet.

Entering Command Mode should move cursor back one character.

When using Vim in a terminal when exiting Insert Mode using esc the cursor is moved left one character.
You can see that the cursor is between 8 and 9 and that Vim is in insert mode.

But when ESC is pressed to go back to normal mode the cursor is shifted between 7 and 8.

Vim users are going to be used to this shift so implementing this in vim-mode might make the transition more attractive.

Unnamed yank buffer not shared across tabs

Unlike named buffers in vim-mode, it appears that the unnamed buffer that is used when you press yw or Y (and deletes) is tab-specific. In order to yank+put text across tabs, you must use a named buffer.

Capturing deleted text

So vim has this concept of the unnamed register which automatically receives the contents of any delete operation. So if you delete a line with dd it should copy the deleted line into the " register.

Unfortunately when you call editor.delete() it doesn't return the deleted text. When I talked to @probablycorey about this he mentioned that you can use the changed event on TextBuffer and it will return the deleted text. Unfortunately this only works up to a point. You can capture the content fairly easily for a single dd but it's difficult with repeated commands such as 5dd as they decompose into 5 separate deletes on the editor.

@nathansobo would you be up for having the delete commands within atom return the values they've deleted?

keyword completion with ctrl-n and ctrl-p in insert mode

In insert mode only, ctrl-n and ctrl-p attempt to complete the current word. ctrl-n searches forward and ctrl-p searches backward. In Vim the completion list is specified by the complete option which by default completes words from every open buffer as well as the tag list.

Intercepting keystroke while in command mode.

So the current solution we use to block keystrokes in command mode isn't quite right.
https://github.com/atom/vim-mode/blob/5f4b47de/lib/vim-state.coffee#L36-L42

There are several issues:

• Text can not be entered into other widgets (like the command palette) while in command mode.
• Backspace still affects command mode and it shouldn't

Any ideas, @probablycorey ?

Text cursor doesn't show in Settings text fields when installed

White background for cursor doesn't work in light theme

makes it way too hard to actually see the cursor:

Is there a way yet for plugins to define stylesheets for themes? IIRC that was an issue a while ago. If not, I'd like to change it to black for light theme users.

Change operator for single line doesn't behave properly

c c currently removes the entire line. In vim, it will put the cursor at the first non-whitespace character, clear the rest of the line, and switch to insert mode.

Implement '0' to go to the beginning of line

Failure to activate vim-mode package

I'm getting an activation failure on one machine. I have successfully installed on another with no issues. Thought I'd post the error here.

I hope to look into this myself a little later today or tomorrow. If anyone else has time feel free to take a look.

Undo doesn't group multiple character input

When entering insert mode and then typing multiple characters 'u' will undo everything since entering insert mode.

atom currently will undo each character individually.

edit: Clarified first sentence.

Motion: f

I would really like to contribute to the f motion for vim-mode, since it is something I use often when coding. I'm not sure the best way to get started.

I see there is the concept of prefix to capture an argument for the number of times something should occur, but this motion will require information that is trailing the command to work

Any insights on how to approach this would be much appreciated.

Backspace will delete characters while in command mode

If you are in command mode and press backspace then a character will be deleted. It is expected that backspace will behave like left arrow while in command mode.

Exiting from insert mode at the beginning of line should keep the position at the begining of line

If you go into insert mode, type something, go back to beginning of line and exit insert mode, the cursor goes at the end of the previous line. It should stay at the beginning of the current line.

Proposal: Poll

Can we have a survey/poll to order the implementation of new features?

• Yes
• No

What makes me suggest this is: I use the "r" command in vim all the time. I'd love to see that ported to vim-mode. BUT - if I'm the only person who uses it, I'd rather have resources go into more widely used features first.

Obviously this is open-source so we can hopefully have the best of both worlds. If someone has an itch, they can scratch it. If they want to help in general, grab a top item on the ordered list.

Just my thoughts.

Split Windows

It seems like Atom already has support for splitting windows (cmd-k + arrow key) but it would be nice if it was mapped to vim-style shortcuts.

ctrl-w v for vertical split
ctrl-w s for horizontal split
ctrl-w (motion letter - hjkl) to move between splits

And I can't tell if resizing splits is possible, but that would be nice too.

escape is also mapped by find-and-replace

atom/find-and-replace#134 (comment)

So it turns out that find-and-replace allows you to dismiss the dialog by hitting escape from the text editor, but I didn't know this was the case because I use vim-mode. Not sure whose bug this is yet, but it's worth knowing about.

Implement "H", "M" & "L" for movement

H, M and L should jump to High, Medium and Low positions respectively.

EditorView APIs

I'm trying to wrap my mind around how all of this is working, and I'm having trouble tracking down some of the APIs that are being used. For example, EditorView::preempt and EditorView::command don't appear to be documented. Does this package use undocumented APIs, and if so how do I find out about them? Otherwise, where are they documented?

scrolling commands: zt zz zb z. z-

These commands scroll the current line to some position in the editor view without moving the cursor:

• zt scrolls to the top
• zz scrolls to the middle
• zb scrolls to the bottom

There are corresponding commands z<enter> z. z- that move the cursor to the first non-blank in the line.

Fast way of toggle plugin for pairing situations

It would be cool to have a fast way to enable/disable the plugin for situations when you are pairing with a non vimmer - it would make it easier for them to use my machine and for them to have the plugin installed (and dormant) on their machine.

Ideally this would be paired with some subtle visual cue in the UI about whether it is enabled or not e.g. beside the release-notes squirrel on bottom right.

I believe the fastest way to do this at the moment is to leave the vim-mode settings open in a tab and click the enable/disable button. It would be nice to have a keyboard shortcut for it.

Thoughts? I am happy to have a go at implementing it if it is something that the core team would consider.

Disabling vim mode while in command mode leaves it in a pseudo-command mode

Steps to reproduce:

1. Enable vim-mode
2. Go to command mode
3. Disable vim-mode from the settings tab
4. Try to type or escape command mode!

Not working

This package isn't doing anything for me. As far as I can tell, it is in none of command-mode, visual-mode, insert-mode on startup, which is probably an issue. I'm on vim-mode 0.6.0, atom 0.60.0.

Include gj and gk functionality

In my .vimrc, I have j and k remapped to gj and gk respectively. This makes it so that I can move up and down a display-line (that is, a line shown because the text is wrapping, it does not get its own line number). I'd love the ability to move up and down through my wrapped lines. Just including a call for these would allow me to map whatever keys I want to it.

Relative Line numbers.

I would appreciate if vim-mode could also support line numbers relative to the cursor when in normal mode; this avoids having to count lines when performing operations. Instead of 0 in normal mode, the cursor line number would show the true line number. Relative line numbers would also be an option in case some users don't want this enabled.

Normal mode:

    2 | 
    1 | function foo(bar) {
  256 |  console.log(bar); // current line in normal mode.
    1 | }
    2 |
    3 |

Insert mode:

   254 | 
   255 | function foo(bar) {
   256 |  console.log(bar); // current line in insert mode.
   257 | }
   258 |
   259 |

Thank you.

search word under cursor with *

In command mode, * over a word should jump to the next instance of that word in the buffer. I think this can piggyback on top of built-in search and replace without much trouble.

yanking whole lines (visual - linewise mode) then pasting them doesn't start on a new line

select whole lines (after merging #81) - yank them
then try pasting them

expected: pastes onto a new line below current line
actual: pastes inline

note pasting inline is the expected behavior if you aren't yanking in linewise visual mode

How do we implement 'r'?

r, or replace a single character, is a tricky one. It does not put you in input mode for a single character--you can easily do '5rx' to make the next 5 characters to the right into 'x'. But it takes whatever you press after it, and, if it's visible, replaces the character beneath it. Non-visible characters (such as the arrow keys or cmd-anything) end the mode and work correctly.

How do we implement the weird new input mode? Our hotkeys in vim mode will eat up any keypress after the 'r'. I'm happy to implement it if there's an approach that's okay.

Add ex commands, including save

Many of the ex commands are critical to true vi heritage, including :w. From wikipedia's article on ex:

ex was eventually given a screen oriented visual interface (adding to its command line oriented operation), thereby becoming the vi text editor.

We've got a lot of our movement commands, but it would be great to have our :w, :%s, :g.

Most of the movement commands are there, so I'm generally having a good time. Thanks for this package!

Prevent selection of line-returns in command mode

In vim, you can only select line returns when in insert mode, as specified in this spec https://github.com/atom/vim-mode/blob/v0.1.0/spec/vim-mode-spec.coffee#L50-L59

I'm not exactly sure the best way to handle this given the current editor API. @probablycorey or @nathansobo any ideas on how to approach this?

Commands for changing case: ~, vu, vU, gu, gU, guu, gUU, etc

Most of these commands involve selecting a visual block where you can change the case of everything selected. More examples of commands from the vim wiki on switching case:

~
Toggle case of the character under the cursor, or all visually-selected characters.

3~
Toggle case of the next three characters.

g~3w
Toggle case of the next three words.

g~iw
Toggle case of the current word (inner word – cursor anywhere in word).

g~$
Toggle case of all characters to end of line.

g~~
Toggle case of the current line (same as V~).
The above uses ~ to toggle case. In each example, you can replace ~ with u to convert to lowercase, or with U to convert to uppercase. For example:

U
Uppercase the visually-selected text.
First press v or V then move to select text.
If you don't select text, pressing U will undo all changes to the current line.

gUU
Change the current line to uppercase (same as VU).

gUiw
Change current word to uppercase.

u
Lowercase the visually-selected text.
If you don't select text, pressing u will undo the last change.

guu
Change the current line to lowercase (same as Vu).

Incorrect indent/outdent on last line

Indenting or outdenting on the last line causes the line above it to move as well.

Can't publish to registry

So I must be doing something wrong here. When I run apm publish I get:

npm http PUT https://atom.iriscouch.com/registry/_design/app/_rewrite/vim-mode
npm http 500 https://atom.iriscouch.com/registry/_design/app/_rewrite/vim-mode
npm ERR! registry error parsing json

@kevinsawicki any ideas what could be going on?

Yanking doesn't include last char

If the file is only one line long and you yank the line with Y or yy, it misses the last character.

Visual line select starts where the cursor is in the line.

When trying to select a line of text in visual mode, the selection starts from where the cursor is, not the beginning of the line.

Visual line select mode doesn't select the current line when moving upward.

Thanks for working so hard on this! I love that there have been two updates between yesterday and today with usability fixes.

Steps to reproduce issue:

• Place cursor on a non-first line in a document.
• Hit shift-v for line select mode. The line is selected as expected.
• Hit k a number of times. Only the lines above the initially selected lines are now selected.

Select entire current line with "V"

Implement operator-pending mode

Currently change, delete and yank in tag doesn't work. The "i" is interpreted as a normal insert command.

Great work with this btw!

Word motion failing specs

So there are two unimplemented specs currently:

• https://github.com/atom/vim-mode/blob/v0.1.0/spec/vim-mode-spec.coffee#L255-L266
• https://github.com/atom/vim-mode/blob/v0.1.0/spec/vim-mode-spec.coffee#L311-L318

The issue is that the specs fail as currently written because the behavior of the atom is different than vim. I'm unsure if I should attempt to make the word movement methods within atom more flexible or whether I should reimplement them within the package.

My gut says that the word methods should be more flexible in the editor but I wanted to get your thoughts about it @probablycorey @nathansobo @kevinsawicki

text object selection (ie `ciw` to change inner word) not implemented

I am by no stretch of the imagination a vim expert. I only know and use maybe 10 or 20 different commands. But one of the ones I use most is ciw which to my limited knowledge stands for change inner word. Basically it lets me have my cursor anywhere inside a word, and change that entire word.

As far as I can tell, when you hit the i in ciw, it jumps straight to insert mode. So it might be implemented, but just with a bug. I would love to try and implement it myself, but I couldn't figure out exactly what to do.

Any one have any thoughts on how to implement this? If someone could point me in the right direction, I don't have any aversion to doing it myself.

Implement select using "gg" and "G"

Currently you can jump to the top or bottom of the current document by typing either "gg" or "G", but you can't do this in conjunction with "v" to select from the current cursor position to the top or bottom.

Connect system copy/paste to "* register

That way you can interact with the system copy and paste functionality using only vim registers. Thanks for suggesting @bhuga I have to admit I didn't know macvim did that.
