Vimulator

A vi-emulator for jEdit.

This project is a "fork" of the jEdit Plugin Vimulator, modified to work for JDK 15 and jEdit 5+ (or whatever Isabelle/jEdit is currently using).

This project is WIP, but already features

• vi-like navigation
• basic commands (i.e. w,q)
• insertion, replace and visual modes
• the 3 visual modes, visual, visual block and visual line
• yanking
• multiple caret editing

Installation

This plugin is available via the official Plugin Manager. You can install it using the Plugin Manager

Manual installation

If you do not want to install the plugin through the normal route, you may manually install the compiled Plugin as a "User Plugin". For Isabelle/jEdit 2021 on Linux/Mac, the user plugin path is $HOME/.isabelle/Isabelle2021/jedit/jars. For Isabelle/jEdit 2021 on Windows, the user plugin path is %HOMEPATH%\.isabelle\Isabelle2021\jedit\jars.

You may find the corresponding Vimulator.jar under Releases or by building the project yourself.

Building

Setup ant to point at the correct jdk and jEdit version in build.xml. Then run

ant dist

to build the jar File. This file can then be manually installed in jEdit via the Plugin Manager.
