Yes, I've used them in emacs, atom, etc. They're useful, but often feel unnatural. I was looking for something that was built from the ground up specifically as "vim editing with a nice interface" -- maybe this is neovim, as someone else suggested.
- johnchristopher 10y agoNope, VIM the UX (keys and movement) and VIM the application are not separated at the moment. It would be great to be able to use VIM key movement as drop-in replacement for any text field OS wide but the VIM interface (the command line) plays an important role in the UI and I don't see how it could be swept aside without losing some VIM core functionality: EG how do you :%s///gi without the overlay command line ?
- majewsky 10y agoI actually have a design document from 5 years ago lying around in my backup that outlines a desktop shell based on (and expanding on) vim's UX. I should get back to that project one day.
