v7, 5/19/2008

General changes:

• Works with LW 5.1. May not work any more with 5.0, haven't tried it.
• Make Escape work like it should. As a necessary side effect, the use of Escape for "Meta" changes to Ctrl-Escape, and the change is global to the running image, whether a buffer is in a Vim mode or not. Ctrl-[ still works, though.
• Put all code in the :vim package instead of the :editor package. Did a brute-force wrapper of most of the editor functions I use. Partly this was to prepare for wrapping these commands for use of Kenny Tilton's Cells library.
• You can now . after an insert or append.
• Counts on . work better now, maybe even correctly.
• New macro: def-start-insert, used for i, I, a, and anything else that starts an insert.

Mappings changed:

• Function formerly bound to p now bound to P, since it puts the cut text in front of the current line.
• J now joins with the next line instead of the previous line.

Mappings added:

• Esc in insert mode
• | -- move to column
• P -- Put cut text above the current line
• C-y/C-e
• n/N -- repeat most recent search, forward / backwards
• ,l -- evaluate code in Listener

Not much to show for 2.5 months work, but on the other hand most of it was actually in the last few weeks.

v6, 02/27/2008

• Made e and ge "inclusive"
• Separated W and E -- they used to map to the same command; now they don't.
• Renamed things like Vim Forward WORD CAPS to Vim Forward BIGWORD.
• Added with-move macro; reimplemented many movement commands using it.

Mappings changed

• W/E

Mappings Added

• E/gE
• a/A
• c{motion}
• f/F/t/T/;/,
• gf

v5, 12/29/2007

• Forward and backward by vi-word and vi-WORD commands now work correctly. These are commands w, W, b, B, e, ge. Hmm, looks like I missed E and gE.
• Printing key bindings is commented out.

Mappings changed:

• W/B/e

Mapping added:

• ge

v4, 12/14/2007

• Add this changelog
• Add check for quoted list in bind-vim
• Reorganized/changed some bindings
• Added most movement bindings to Operator Pending mode, to make movement-pending commands work better.
• Added commands and bindings for zt/zz/zb and z<cr>/z./z-. The latter set work just like the former set, i.e. they do not leave the cursor on the first non-blank in the line.
• Added commands and bindings for easy repeat counts; 12j now works, you don't have to say c-u 12 j.
• Changed :e! to map to "Vim Revert Buffer", which resets the undo history after it reads the file from disk, but it's still a bit wonky.
• Kind of in the middle of adding an in-vim-command macro that takes care of boilerplate start-vim-command / stop-vim-command stuff, so that when I add new stuff that needs to happen at the start & end of a command, I only have to change code in one place.
• Added a setup-indent to def-vim-var-definer.
• Added a new kind of vim-var, window vars; define via def-vim-window-var. I suggest a w- prefix on all window vars, just like the b- prefix on all buffer vars.
• Added several hook variables, but don't actually use them yet.

Commands / mappings added:

• - (minus) to go up a line
• zt/zz/zb, z<cr>/z./z- (see note above)
• repeat counts
• r<char>
• gg
• dd

Commands and mappings changed or fixed:

• d{movement}
