marcweber / autohotkey_viper Goto Github PK

In the README:

This is a rewrite of https://autohotkey.com/board/topic/41206-modal-vim/, cleaning up the code removing much repetition.

In the script itself:

Kommand.ahk. Author: Kylir Horton. Website: http://www.kylirhorton.com/kommand. Heavily modified by Marc Weber.

(Besides of the website, which is now defunct, Kommand has its own thread: https://autohotkey.com/board/topic/42706-kommand-a-cross-application-vim-like-hot-key-solution/.)

41206 thread seems to be unrelated to Kommand. Hence, autohotkey_viper seems to be unrelated to 41206. That is, the passage in the README seems to be wrong.

Hi Marc,

I was wondering if you had any plans to continue development of this nice piece of software. During the last few years, there were many different approaches to solve the same issue "make vim input scheme available for all windows applications". Here are some I had a brief look into. Some seem abandoned, some show recent changes here on GitHub:

• viatc
• autohotkey-viper - this is your project
• vim_ahk
• vim.ahk
• vimulate-ahk
• autokey-autohotkey-vim-nav

As I am about to develop a solution which tries to implement APPLICATION-SPECIFIC keyboard sequences for common functionalities in a modular way, I would be interested to know if you intend to or already have proceeded working on this, yourself. Here is my solution of a superficial feature evaluation for autohotkey-viper:

Maybe, by now you stopped using vim and fiddling around with these little things due to changed life circumstances and the enlightment that time is too precious to be wasted with this... ;-)

I would be happy about an answer from you. Maybe you could confirm or correct the feature guesses made.

Thanks.
