I'm just trying to get what I think is a useful application into the hands of the people who would find it useful. If you find that irritating, just keep scrol

  Try contributing to discussions instead of copy-pasting the same promotional tagline. You could also make some effort to actually understand vi — your app doesn't take you out of insert mode! Using hjkl and ypu does not somehow make anything vi-like when there's no command mode, no compositionality, and a hotkey that breaks everything else. Seriously, chording‽ If you're going to chord for movement just use the built-in emacs bindings! Instead of ^hjkl it's ^bnpf, if you really want to do something as inane as use modified letters as arrow keys. Why did you write your cargo-cult app at all? There's at least a half-dozen InputManagers that implement true vi command modes already, and while nobody actually uses them, at least their authors appear to have actually used a vi editor before!

    I'm sorry you don't find ViKing useful. It's not meant to replace vi, it's simply meant to be a tool that vi users might find useful. I know many who do. I assure you I do understand vi. I use it everyday. I've explored the idea of making ViKing modal but based on user feedback have decided not to go that route. I am aware of the InputManagers you mentioned but I believe I'm solving a different problem. Thank you for your feedback, though. I do appreciate it. God bless.
