vi mode!

I need vi mode!

This looks promising. Anyone have a good experience with their vi mode?

Or you know just set vi mode

so... does it have vi mode?

I've known about Vi mode for a long time, but have never been able to make the switch. It's a brain bender!

I'm not that much into Vi(m) but a visual mode is available in Vintage mode? Press ESC, v.

What I never heard explained in one sentence about vi is: why have multiple modes? Why not zero modes instead?

It was in fact the original mode. vi was the visual mode for ex.

There's viper mode, which enables vi keybindings. A transitional technology.

You don't even have to ever turn it off!


So here is an interesting question... why do I (and many others) like vi so much?

Maybe modes are bad for beginners, but really good for experts.


You can activate Vintage mode (vi mode). Isn't 100% the same as vi but for me it does the job :-)

Kate does have a pretty good vi mode!

You can get this to some extent with visual mode in (neo)vi(m).

Could you provide a link to Mode? I'm not familiar with it and the name is epically un-googleable.

And "Thumb" mode. A solid set of HHGTTG references in this.

Thanks, I wasn't aware of such mode. I'll check it out

I really enjoy the beginner mode, much more fun than using vi :)

There is a verbatim mode?
