vi emulation in jed

[Richard Coleman]

I've started playing with jed and so far I
like it. But my fingers have vi keystrokes
permanently embedded in them. Does anyone
have a vi emulator for jed. I really like
the extensibiltiy of jed and would use it
daily if I had a vi emulator mode.

Thanks,

You can always bind this to a key, e.g.,

setkey ("kill_region", "^A");

I have had *many* requests for a vi mode. Unfortunately, I do not know
enough vi to do the mode justice. If you write a vi mode, I will lend all
the technical support that I can.

I know exactly what you mean. The command that I really want is one
of the extensions from Elvis: Marking a region with v or V and
remove it with one key. I can live with marking with ^2, but I
really hate it to have to type Meta-X kill_region every time...

Yeah, I know. I should make some time to learn the slang language
too. There are quite a few things I'd like to see in a different
way. But I'll start with compiling the new version tomorrow, and try
the brief mode...

You can also grad the manuals of vim for example. Or Elvis.
It shouldn't be too hard to get.

^w will kill the region. You can yank it back with ^y.
Also, ^SPACE should mark just as well as ^2.
