ming-wm/docs/window-likes/malvim.md

A text/code editor. Specifically, a subset of vim.

Funnily enough, that subset doesn't include the visual (ie, multi-line) capabilities of vim that the "vi" stands for. Perhaps it should be called "maled"?

Usage

It is probably best to read a Vim tutorial for the basics. All supportd keystrokes should mostly behave the same as in Vim.

Supported in Command-line Mode

• e[dit] <file>
• t[abe] <file>, [tab]n, [tab]p
• q[uit]
• w[rite]
• /<query>

Tab completion is supported for the <file> argument. Down arrow will clear the current command, and up arrow will fill in the last ran command.

Supported in Normal Mode

• :
• i
• o, O
• A
• r
• dd
• <num>dd
• dw (dw is not identical to vim's behaviour), dW
• d$
• G
• gg
• <num>gg
• f<char>, F<char>
• <num>f<char>, <num>F<char>
• ; (same as f<char> but with the char the cursor is on, so not the same as vim)
• <num>;
• , (same as F<char> but with the char the cursor is on, so not the same as vim)
• <num>,
• x
• h (or left arrow), j (or down arrow), k (or up arrow), l (or right arrow)
• <num>h, <num>j (or down arrow), <num>k (or up arrow), <num>l
• 0, ^, $
• %

Malvim Specific

In Command-line Mode, autoindent can be done to toggle auto-indenting (when making new line in Insert Mode [ie, by hitting Enter/Return], space indentation of the new line will be the same as the space indentation of the current line). Toggling on autoindent is highly recommended when editing code.

• > indent two spaces
• <num>> indent variable amount of spaces
• <num>Alt+C copy variable amount of lines to clipboard (if no number, defaults to only the current line)
