VimMode.spoon VS vim-anywhere

- https://github.com/dbalatero/VimMode.spoon - Vim mode everywhere

VimMode.spoon (open source, free)

I have a Hammerspoon plugin that does a fairly decent job: https://github.com/dbalatero/VimMode.spoon

A friend of mine I met through my own similar (free) library is developing this like a madman: https://kindavim.app

It costs $3/month (coffee) but for a Vim person like me I gladly pay. Making this work across macOS is a total mess and a full-time job, and it's not trivial work.

If you want a free version, I have https://github.com/dbalatero/VimMode.spoon as a Hammerspoon plugin that works pretty OK, but I'm not actively developing it and prefer the kindaVim app at this point.

there's some free solutions out there like Karabiner-Elements(https://karabiner-elements.pqrs.org) (but doesn't manipulate/calculate text, just key mapping) and VimMode.spoon (https://github.com/dbalatero/VimMode.spoon). if you don't wanna bother with setting those up there's also one-time payment stuff, that are basically wrappers around Karabiner Elements.

I wrote this to handle a 2 letter key sequence being pressed (to support jk entering vim mode): https://github.com/dbalatero/VimMode.spoon/blob/master/lib/key_sequence.lua

Love to see this windows project! If anyone wants some MacOS Vim functionality everywhere, I have a small library I maintain for that: https://github.com/dbalatero/VimMode.spoon

Better solution: https://github.com/cknadler/vim-anywhere, for neovim users (and probably vim users) you can utilize some apple script as well: https://blog.schembri.me/post/neovim-everywhere-on-macos/. For those of you who want to try org-mode and evil, https://github.com/tecosaur/emacs-everywhere is awesome. And if you don't want to use an editor, a similar project (using Hammerspoon) is available here: https://github.com/dbalatero/VimMode.spoon

and also let's not forget the awesome VimMode.spoon from dbalatero: https://github.com/dbalatero/VimMode.spoon

Isn't it the same as vim-everywhere?

I'm not really liking that, yeah, I can get the benefit from modal editing and in Sublime Text (due to e.g. Vintage) but not anywhere else without having to go way-out-there and use something like cknadler/vim-anywhere.

https://github.com/cknadler/vim-anywhere is very similar to the macOS version I linked, but for linux. Emacs-anywhere also works on linux, but I doubt you want to use emacs

Maybe https://github.com/cknadler/vim-anywhere? Context switching is tough, which actually is why I ended up making the switch from Windows to WSL to Arch.

It has the benefit of being system wide (I also found this here), so you can use it in MS weird if you'd like to.
