With all sincerity, these plugins are available in Emacs, along with a Vim emulator called Evil. I used to fight with Vim so much, but for several years have been just using it inside Emacs, a decision I've never regretted.
- exDM69 12y agoevil-mode is not without problems either. In particular, it doesn't work very well outside of "regular" code/text buffers. Using it in GDB/scratch/other buffers is very inconvenient. So if migrating from Vim to Emacs + evil, you still have to learn how vanilla Emacs works. At least this was my experience when trying it out.
- gnuvince 12y agoYou could add a hook to use evil only in certain modes, for instance: (add-hook 'prog-mode-hook 'evil-local-mode) This activates evil only for modes that derive from prog-mode.
- exDM69 12y agoYes, that's the only reasonable way to go. But you still need to learn how vanilla emacs works.
