Question about Fake Vim in QtCreator 1.3.1 !

**qt_chan** · 16th March 2010, 02:54

I used "map" a lot for vim when coding in Linux; however when I tried to use map under Fakevim mode on QtCreator, it kept telling me that "Not an editor command"

! What can I do in order to get "map" to work on QtCreator ? Thanks in advance !

Help implementing it ;-) FakeVim is "community supported", with a pretty active community.
Incidentally, today the first step towards implementing the feature was commited.

Thanx to the FakeVim community for the commendable work bringing vi functionality to the Qt IDE. I have used vi/vim for many years and I am trying to adapt to FakeVim.

I am used to using :k[a-z] to mark lines as I move through a file and then :'[a-z],'[a-z]t. to copy (or m to move) blocks of code. I have found this more useful than yank and put. I am having difficulties with FakeVim because it eliminates the option of using the scroll bar, which is no big deal, except that it does not have these commands that help eliminate the need for the scroll bar when moving code around within a file. What I long for most are being able to make easy RegEx based changes with :g and :s. Are these kinds of ":" commands possible and likely future additions to fakeVim? Also does anyone know where can I find a good "cheat sheet" of vim commands that are implemented in FakeVim so I can adapt to the commands that do exist?
