Does Zed have vim keybindings?

• M4v3R 3y ago
  Yes, it even asks if you want to use them on first run.

  It does https://docs.zed.dev/general/vim https://docs.zed.dev/general/vim. The support seems limited however, for example 'L' or 'H' movement does not seem to be supported.
  • M4v3R 3y ago
    What do you mean? "L" and "H" do move the cursor right and left for me just fine. It does not have macro recording/playback or extended commands though so it's not a full fledged vim emulation mode unfortunately.
    • tuan 3y ago
      That’s uppercase L and H to move to bottom or top of the screen

        Thanks for this. I've been a vim user for over 20 years and I'm still learning useful new commands!

      Yeah, it's pretty annoying for any long-time vim user to not be able to use the macros, which Zed doesn't support. Biggest issue I've had with this editor for sure.

        This is my problem with all "vim modes"; the 90% of bindings that they cover works until your fingers' muscle memory wakes back up and tries `gqip` or some other niche vim thing.

        First thing I did after downloading Zed was to try macros in vim mode. It doesn't have a vim mode if there is no macro support. Plain and simple.

          Yeah it’s a pity because otherwise zed is snappier than actual nvim for me with various extensions installed
