Making Vim ubiquitous?
- by Hamish Downer
The Pragmatic Programmer recommends that you should use one
text editor for everything. My chosen
weapon editor is Vim.
So I want to collect all the ways in which Vim (and the Vim
keybindings) can be used and setting up your computer to
make Vim work well. This includes how to embed Vim in your
IDE, web browser, email client, command shell ...
But I don't want Vim tips -
there
are
other
questions
for them. I want tips to get into Vim, or Vim mode. Though
tips about Vim mode not in an editor would be allowed (e.g.
tips for vi mode when using Bash).
Update: Going quite well so far, with ways to edit in
Vim/gVim, or to get vi mode in Firefox, Safari, Thunderbird,
many IDEs and command line applications, MS Outlook and Word. But
I'm wondering if there are more. Particular applications I wonder
about include
OpenOffice.org
KOffice
Kmail
Evolution
Internet Explorer
GIMP and Photoshop ... (only joking ;)
