You might be interested in viper mode [1], or another one of the VI emulation modes for emacs.

- aiscott 15y agoYes, I have tried viper mode, and it's a good effort. But it can only handle the basics, or at least when I tried it was just the basics. I have a ton of vim scripts customizing vim, adding features, etc., that just don't work with viper mode. Part of me thinks that if I go over to emacs, I ought to go with the 'native' experience of it. I appreciate the reply; and others may find Viper mode very useful.
- ecyrb 15y agovimpulse is an extension to viper and gives you (for example) visual mode (copy blocks using 'v'). http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Vimpulse http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Vimpulse
