Since there has been so much talk in the past few days about the different projects that are popping up and how we would like to get the project up and going again, I thought I would throw out an idea that I had recently. It comes from a mix of multiple projects. You have probably all see viPlugin which is a plug-in for eclipse that emulates some of the functionality of Vi. It works fairly well, but it has nowhere near the power of gvim. However, it is a facade layer basically that captures the keystrokes and does the appropriate vi-like things. My thought is this (and please realize that I do not know enough about it to know the logistics): can we create a facade layer that simply captures all of the keystrokes and passes them to the gvim "server" and then back to the built-in eclipse editor? Obviously, there would be a few changes that would need to be made (especially when it comes to certain commands), but I really like the functionality that both editors provide. I am just able to type infinitely faster in vim. I have done a bit of Eclipse plug-in development, but I have never worked on the code base of gvim, so what I propose is merely a thought that might help other (read "more knowledgeable") people come up with ideas. Cheers! And I look forward to seeing this project progress. -- Topher Fangio Software Developer Frac Tech Services, Ltd. fan...@gm... (325) 660-7141 |
