function for enableForApp
joe-zhang3 opened this issue · comments
This should not be an issue. I am vim-user, I only want to use vim for input fields of browsers like Chrome. So I am wondering if it is possible to have a function enableForApp that I can specify which app that I want VimMode to take effect?
There are so many apps that I already have vim configured, so I don't want to use disableForApp to exclude them one by one.

It's not really a high priority for me, just so you're aware.

Can you help me understand the total number of apps you have some kind of Vim mode configured in? 5? 10? 20? 100? Ballpark is OK.
It's hard for me to imagine that the number would be super high but I'm curious to be proven wrong.
@dbalatero , you are right, it is not that many, just iTerm, Rider, Idea, PyCharm, Atom, Sublime, VSCode, azure data studio etc. I also have Vimium plugin for Chrome installed.
The point is, ideally I just want VimMode to be enabled for address bar of Chrome. I am ok with the entire Chrome also, like any input fields of any pages. That means, it is easier to have enableForApp rather than disableForApp to exclude apps for my case.
thanks,
I'd merge a reasonable PR if you sent one in, but this feels out of scope for me personally. I'm not really looking to support the "Vim user that uses 7 text editors with Vim plugins" use case. Whatever solution you came up with would need to play nice with disableForApp, so I'd recommend discussing your approach here before doing any coding.

Also this isn't going to really happen – I don't want to support that kind of control or granularity at this time.
Closing this issue but feel free to reopen if you want to make a patch!
