jeffreytse/zsh-vi-mode: 💻 A better and friendly vi(vim) mode plugin for ZSH.
What's the problem with this? https://github.com/softmoth/zsh-vim-mode

Vim-like terminal emulator
Not sure about bash, but zsh has a plugin (zsh-vim-mode) that changes the cursor by mode (and significantly improves its built-in vi mode).

Hey! Just created a new zsh-vi-mode plugin, don't you want to have a try?
Just for your awareness, I find this plugin significantly slower than softmoth's zsh-vim-mode plugin; I'm not sure if that's what you are comparing it to? Starting zsh, it seems to add a delay of approx 0.5 sec.

The Shell vs the Web
What does ngs do regarding text input... using readline like bash does? Or your own implementation? https://github.com/ardagnir/athame sounds so good for my vim-washed computerbrain. I imagine you don't want to embed NeoVim in your interactive shell (or do you????), but I'm wishing of that being provided in my next era dreamed-of shell <3

Rust-shell: what features you would you like to see in a shell ?
vi-mode... perhaps https://github.com/ardagnir/athame ?? perhaps embedding neovim??? but at least the basic modal editing that readline provides.

New to modal editing, can't decide whether I should learn Neovim or Helix
https://github.com/ardagnir/athame is an interesting looking project, I'd love to have that kind of vimability but am far too maxed out with configuring my tooling so I settle for whatever vi plugin came with oh-my-zsh.

Thoughts on using vim mode in your shell
None of these are major criticisms. But I'm wondering if others have also experienced them. I'm also wondering if anybody has found something better than your shell's native vim mode. For example, athame, which sounds great but has gotten very dusty in recent years.

ciw does not work in bash after `set -o vi`
Oh, I misunderstood "commandline editor". To compensate, can I offer this: https://github.com/ardagnir/athame

neovim embedded in shell?
Athame does this with Vim. I've made a couple of attempts at doing the same thing with Neovim but never made it to the point where it became actually usable (there's a number of issues to overcome, e.g. bash statically linking readline so you can't LD_PREALOAD your own readline replacement, neovim not being very happy with single-line UIs...).
-
Is there a script or mod that will change the behavior of my os and software to be more vim like
Athame patches readline to be vim-y, but that's usually unnecessary since most shells support vi keybindings. This might be better, since it is truly a vim session (and not emulation), but I haven't used it so idk.
