#22I don't see Oni on here. https://v2.onivim.io/
Looks bloated and isn't open source
Re: Big Pile of Vim-Like
#23The one of these that I've come to adore the most is the ranger file manager. I almost never use any GUI file managers (or command line tools, for that matter) for file management after starting to use ranger seriously. It's so fast and works exactly the way I want it to. I've also hooked my terminal up such that I'm cd'ed into whatever folder I last navigated to in ranger (I use the alias `rd` for this), so I virtua…
Protip: If you use bash or zsh, you can source the ranger executable for this behavior (so the full command would be ". ranger"). If you're on fish, there is a patch pending for review, that soon will be available on master.
Thank you so much!

#24Why isn't the vi editor in there? It's at least as "vim-like" as bash or tmux.

#25Vim is a nice operating system. If it only had an easy way to shutdown...
Interesting, that was more the experience I had the first time I tried using Emacs as a vi user. The documentation I could find (limited, this was back in the '80s, couldn't google it), said "You are never intended to leave Emacs, you should be able to do everything inside it." I was done with my lunch break and needed to get back to work, so I went to another X window and killed Emacs.

#26Wings3D can be operated in a very vim-like way, more than Blender in my opinion.

#27One of the editors it lists is "vy" : a Vim-like in python: https://github.com/vyapp/vy
Does anyone have any experience with this? I'd love to have a vim that is more pleasant to program.

#28In the graphical browser category, I have tried Qutebrowser and it is neat. However, Firefox remains as my primary web browser. I use the Vimium plugin with Firefox. It provides Vim-like key bindings for many commonly used browsing tasks. My most favourite commands in Vimum are 'f' and 'F'. The 'f' or 'F' command creates key combinations for all the links found in the page. It highlights the key combinations in littl…
Just curious, do you use Linux as your main desktop OS?
That's right. I have been using Debian GNU/Linux as my main laptop OS for about 13 years now. I used to have GNOME 2 desktop environment earlier but once GNOME 3 became the default, I switched to Xfce Desktop Environment. The fact that the Debian project still offers a CD image[1] with Xfce bundled as the default desktop environment is really nice.
Having said that, I have to confess that these days I also use macOS a lot. This has happened mainly due to my job. My employer provides MacBook Pro for work and I prefer not having to switch between operating systems too often, so my usage of Debian GNU/Linux as my main laptop OS has been on the decline. Despite that, I always keep a Debian virtual machine as well as a remote Debian system handy, so that I can log into it via SSH whenever I need it.

Ever since I started using vimium, it's become a need for me. It's the reason I don't use safari despite its better performance on a macbook. Weirdly enough, none of the people I've tried to convince to use it has stuck with it - all very tech literate people.
> It's the reason I don't use safari despite its better performance on a MacBook.
I've been working on a Safari Vim-inspired Extension for macOS 10.15+ for many months now. It'll be paid, something like $5 or less. I would have liked to open source it, but I don't have a way to get enough eyes on a KickStarter or something to gather donations.
It is close to ready, I'm hoping to release it this month. I'll do a Show HN when I do. Here are some screenshots if you'd like to take a look. I'd love some feedback!

#30"Vim modes" only offer like 40%-60% coverage of features in IDEs. I haven't found one yet that lets you set marks with :k[letter]. Jetbrains (and maybe viper) are the only ones I've found that support block modes. "Vim mode" means a lot more than just using 'hjklioaD^['. It would be fairer to call them "nvi modes".
Evil mode in emacs is pretty damned close. Biggest painful diff is that emacs regex isn’t as powerful as vim.
