"Vim-like" is an adjective, so where the noun it's modifying?
- kaushalmodi 10y agoThat was my first thought too; either the OP meant to write "Vim clone", or forgot to put "editor" after "Vim-like".
- gjm11 10y agoIt's really not unusual for an adjective to be used to mean "thing described by this adjective". Laptop (computer). Roguelike (computer game). A glass of the house red (wine). Tabloid (newspaper). Convertible (car). Mobile/cell (phone), though these days people usually just say "phone". Etc.

- masukomi 10y agoi think you're missing the reference to a "roguelike". Assuming it's meant the same way "vim-like" is a noun not an adjective. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roguelike https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roguelike - "A roguelike game is one belonging to a subgenre of role-playing video games characterized by a dungeon crawl through procedurally generated game levels, turn-based gameplay, tile-based graphics, and permanent death of the player-character.
