## Vim bindings demo

Note: The CodeMirror vim bindings do not have an active maintainer. That means that if you report bugs in it, they are likely to go unanswered. It also means that if you want to help, you are very welcome to look at the open issues and see which ones you can solve.

#include "syscalls.h" /* getchar: simple buffered version */ int getchar(void) { static char buf[BUFSIZ]; static char *bufp = buf; static int n = 0; if (n == 0) { /* buffer is empty */ n = read(0, buf, sizeof buf); bufp = buf; } return (--n >= 0) ? (unsigned char) *bufp++ : EOF; }
Key buffer:
Vim mode:

The vim keybindings are enabled by including `keymap/vim.js` and setting the `keyMap` option to `vim`.

Features

- All common motions and operators, including text objects
- Operator motion orthogonality
- Visual mode - characterwise, linewise, blockwise
- Full macro support (q, @)
- Incremental highlighted search (/, ?, #, *, g#, g*)
- Search/replace with confirm (:substitute, :%s)
- Search history
- Jump lists (Ctrl-o, Ctrl-i)
- Key/command mapping with API (:map, :nmap, :vmap)
- Sort (:sort)
- Marks (`, ')
- :global
- Insert mode behaves identical to base CodeMirror
- Cross-buffer yank/paste

For the full list of key mappings and Ex commands, refer to the `defaultKeymap` and `defaultExCommandMap` at the top of `keymap/vim.js`.

Note that while the vim mode tries to emulate the most useful features of vim as faithfully as possible, it does not strive to become a complete vim implementation
