vix is a experimental modal text editor using the xi-editor backend inspired by vim, focusing on emulating vim's modal states (vim,insert,visual) and behaviour as much as possible, by translating all corresponding actions to the xi core. Not intended to be a vim rewrite, rather a familiar expirience.
This project is based on xi-term, just as xim. Both use the same base code from xi-term.
Since the xi-editor is to implement a vi mode, this project may become obsolete.
