# vi-mode plugin
|
|
|
|
This plugin increase `vi-like` zsh functionality.
|
|
|
|
To use it, add `vi-mode` to the plugins array in your zshrc file:
|
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
plugins=(... vi-mode)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Settings
|
|
|
|
- `VI_MODE_RESET_PROMPT_ON_MODE_CHANGE`: controls whether the prompt is redrawn when
|
|
switching to a different input mode. If this is unset, the mode indicator will not
|
|
be updated when changing to a different mode.
|
|
Set it to `true` to enable it. For example:
|
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
VI_MODE_RESET_PROMPT_ON_MODE_CHANGE=true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The default value is unset, unless `vi_mode_prompt_info` is used, in which case it'll
|
|
automatically be set to `true`.
|
|
|
|
- `VI_MODE_SET_CURSOR`: controls whether the cursor style is changed when switching
|
|
to a different input mode. Set it to `true` to enable it (default: unset):
|
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
VI_MODE_SET_CURSOR=true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- `MODE_INDICATOR`: controls the string displayed when the shell is in normal mode.
|
|
See [Mode indicator](#mode-indicator) for details.
|
|
|
|
## Mode indicator
|
|
|
|
*Normal mode* is indicated with a red `<<<` mark at the right prompt, when it
|
|
hasn't been defined by theme.
|
|
|
|
You can change this indicator by setting the `MODE_INDICATOR` variable. This setting
|
|
supports Prompt Expansion sequences. For example:
|
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
MODE_INDICATOR="%F{yellow}+%f"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also use the `vi_mode_prompt_info` function in your prompt, which will display
|
|
this mode indicator.
|
|
|
|
## Key bindings
|
|
|
|
Use `ESC` or `CTRL-[` to enter `Normal mode`.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: some of these key bindings are set by zsh by default when using a vi-mode keymap.
|
|
|
|
### History
|

|
|
- `ctrl-p` : Previous command in history
|
|
- `ctrl-n` : Next command in history
|
|
- `/` : Search backward in history
|
|
- `n` : Repeat the last `/`
|
|
|
|
### Vim edition
|
|
|
|
- `vv` : Edit current command line in Vim
|
|

|
|
- `W` : [count] WORDS forward
|
|
- `e` : Forward to the end of word [count] inclusive
|
|
- `E` : Forward to the end of WORD [count] inclusive
|
|
- `b` : [count] words backward
|
|
- `B` : [count] WORDS backward
|
|
- `t{char}` : Till before [count]'th occurrence of {char} to the right
|
|
- `T{char}` : Till before [count]'th occurrence of {char} to the left
|
|
- `f{char}` : To [count]'th occurrence of {char} to the right
|
|
- `F{char}` : To [count]'th occurrence of {char} to the left
|
|
- `;` : Repeat latest f, t, F or T [count] times
|
|
- `,` : Repeat latest f, t, F or T in opposite direction
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
- `i` : Insert text before the cursor
|
|
- `I` : Insert text before the first character in the line
|
|
- `a` : Append text after the cursor
|
|
- `A` : Append text at the end of the line
|
|
- `o` : Insert new command line below the current one
|
|
- `O` : Insert new command line above the current one
|
|
|
|
### Delete and Insert
|
|
|
|
- `ctrl-h` : While in *Insert mode*: delete character before the cursor
|
|
- `ctrl-w` : While in *Insert mode*: delete word before the cursor
|
|
- `d{motion}` : Delete text that {motion} moves over
|
|
- `dd` : Delete line
|
|
- `D` : Delete characters under the cursor until the end of the line
|
|
- `c{motion}` : Delete {motion} text and start insert
|
|
- `cc` : Delete line and start insert
|
|
- `C` : Delete to the end of the line and start insert
|
|

|
## Known issues
|
|
|
|
### Low `$KEYTIMEOUT`
|
|
|
|
A low `$KEYTIMEOUT` value (< 15) means that key bindings that need multiple characters,
|
|
like `vv`, will be very difficult to trigger. `$KEYTIMEOUT` controls the number of
|
|
milliseconds that must pass before a key press is read and the appropriate key binding
|
|
is triggered. For multi-character key bindings, the key presses need to happen before
|
|
the timeout is reached, so on low timeouts the key press happens too slow, and therefore
|
|
another key binding is triggered.
|
|
|
|
We recommend either setting `$KEYTIMEOUT` to a higher value, or remapping the key bindings
|
|
that you want to trigger to a keyboard sequence. For example:
|
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
bindkey -M vicmd 'V' edit-command-line # this remaps `vv` to `V` (but overrides `visual-mode`)
|
|
```
