My favorite is all the applications which have a vim mode and are clearly done by people who think that just means making hjkl act like arrow keys and adding in a few single key commands. I wish more people would take the time to understand what modal editing actually is.
In a project of mine which has an editor that is pretty much vim with a few modifications to suit my purposes and slimmed down to just the needed features, I added an optional emacs mode which can be enabled with C-M-e M-S-m, it enables emacs in evil mode.
- djtango 2y agoOne day during my vim journey I discovered filters and realised I could turbo charge my editing by running selections through any and all of unix and now I don't need fancy spacing plugins - I have `column` and I can `sort` This then allowed me to golf a one line vim macro that shells out a selection to nc which connects to a clojure socket repl I don't think many "vim modes" would allow that. The most earnest of vim modes is probably evil mode. Of course, only your true mortal enemy could ever understand you...
