[vimpulse] Custom keybinding

[saheel1511]

Hello everyone,

Although I have been using http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Vimpulse Vimpulse
for quite some time now, I didn't really customize it to my liking. Today I
wanted to change the behavior of C-d in all vi modes. Currently, in
normal-mode and visual-mode C-d scrolls down, and in insert-mode C-d does
nothing. I want C-d to execute 'delete-char' in all modes. So I tried this:

(global-set-key (kbd "C-d") 'delete-char)
and
(vimpulse-global-set-key 'vi-state' (kbd "C-d") 'delete-char))

Both didn't work. C-d still has the same behavior -- it does not delete a
character.
Any help/suggestions/pointers on how to set custom keybindings for vimpulse?

Thank you,
Saheel.

I can't really help you with vimpulse, but note that vimpulse is no
longer actively developed. There's a new project called "Evil" [1]
that supersedes Vimpulse and has much more features but does not build
on viper (and it is configurable in the way you want).

Anyway, because the maintainer of Vimpulse is also the maintainer of
Evil it's probably a good idea to ask your question on evil's mailing
list [2] or in the irc channel #evil-mode on freenode.

Hey, Frank.

Thanks a lot. I have started using Evil.
And guess what? The C-d operates, by default, just the way I want it to be!

Saheel.
