EditorsWithVimMode

List and summary of all plugins that support a Vim keybinding mode. Please send pull requests when you discover a new project including a brief summary.

No Vim emulator perfectly recreates Vim's keybindings, except perhaps Emacs' vim bindings. Specifically, every other Vim emulator does not correctly recreate Vim's undo/redo editing experience which is just as much part of the Vim editing experience as movement commands.

#####VisualStudio

• ViEmu provides excellent support http://www.viemu.com/blog/.

#####Atom

• vim-mode-plus is a very faithful recreation of the core Vim keybindings. At the time of writing, it has fewer bugs than the more popular Vim bindings for Atom.

#####Vico

• Extensive support of core Vim keymappings and commands.

#####IntelliJ IDEA

• Through Ideavim http://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/164?pr=phpStorm

#####Sublime

• Vintageous is well supported and is as close to Vim's natural feel/feature as you can achieve in Sublime.

  • Only current issue is that undo/redo are critically broken due to a bug in Sublime, not Vintageous.
  • Has a very dedicated/supportive developer.

• Vintage plugin is crtically broken and not well supported.

#####Vim

• Perfectly supports Vim's keyboard mappings and commands, but has obscure scripting language.

Works In Progress

#####VSCodeVim

• VSCodeVim is just beginning development.
