Features

Many of vim's keys are not implemented for a number of reasons. Firstly, the 90/10 rule states that we should achieve 90% of the functionality in 10% of the time. Secondly, it works for me. Finally, it would be quite difficult to implement some of the advanced features available in other vi clones.

Implemented features:

• Switching from Normal to Insert: i, I, a, A, o, O, s, c
• Insert to Normal: Esc
• Search: /, ?, n, N
• Command mode: :w :q :wq :q!
• Repeat last command: '.'
• Delete current line: dd
• Delete to end-of-line: C, D
• Movements: G,h,j,k,l,w,e,b,^,$,0,Ctrl-F,Ctrl-B
• Undo, Redo: u, Ctrl-R
• Editing: x,X
• Count-movement: 10-j (move down 10 lines)
• Paste: p
• Delete word: dw, db
• goto line by using 1G, nG, G, :n
• Toggle case: ~
