Does any IDE have a vi keybindings options? [closed]

Answer 1

There's meanwhile an excellent free and (from my limited perspective, but the many raving reviews probably speak for themselves) entirely sufficient alternative to the twice mentioned still commercial ViEmu for Visual Studio available, namely the VsVim Extension:

This is a Vim Emulation layer for Visual Studio 2010 [and 2012]. It integrates the familier key binding experience of Vim directly into Visual Studio's editor.

It's developed via Jared Parsons' GitHub project jaredpar/VsVim - a list of Supported Features and a FAQ addressing the interoperability choices/options is available there as well, most notably addressing how to Temporarily disable VsVim:

VsVim can be temporairly disabled by the key sequence Ctrl+Shift+F12 and re-enabled later by the same key sequence. While disabled VsVim will not interfere with any keyboard or selection allowing you to use Visual Studio as if VsVim wasn’t installed.

Answer 2

There is ViEmu which provides vim key bindings for Visual Studio. I haven't used it, but I probably would if I were working in VS and not actually using vim.

Also, I know that SlickEdit has a vi keybinding option.

Answer 3

Tasking EDE has a vi mode, if you're lucky enough to be coding for one of the embedded devices it targets.

Answer 4

Most IDE's that I know of (eclipse, netbeasn, VS200X) have replace with regex features available, Im not a big vi user, what do you really want to be able to do?

My advice is to really take the time to learn the IDE of choice and you will soon be a very efficient (in different ways) developer within that environment, they wouldnt be popular IDE's if there were in efficient.

I switch between IDE's a lot, and you end up just getting used to pushing the wrong key combinations, its not that bad.
