.vimrc support #463

johnfn · 2016-07-16T21:02:22Z

Click thumbs-up 👍 on this issue if you want it!
Click confused 😕 on this issue if not having it makes VSCodeVim unusable.

The VSCodeVim team prioritizes issues based on reaction count.

Support an actual .vimrc file alongside our current settings.json.

Allow users to specify a location for the .vimrc insite the settings.json file.

Support basic .vimrc commands.

rebornix · 2016-07-17T03:13:50Z

Yup, assign this to me as I'm working on a prototype.

johnfn · 2016-07-17T03:14:47Z

jpoon · 2016-11-08T05:25:40Z

Re-opening this -- we don't have .vimrc support.

johnfn · 2016-12-04T03:09:41Z

I'm gonna close this as although it's true that we don't support .vimrc, I believe our settings.json support is a solid equivalent, except better because it has autocomplete and documentation popups.

If anyone disagrees, feel free to open a conversation on this issue.

kristiandupont · 2016-12-15T10:32:17Z

Well, I have a shared vimrc file for vim and vsvim. I would have loved to include that from here as well.

wfxr · 2016-12-23T07:11:36Z

I also expect vimrc support feature. Almost everyone using vscodevim knows how to config vimrc. So documentation popups feature is not that important as far as I see.

I agree setting.json is good, but I think reuse and DRY means much. We can use vimrc in vsvim, ideavim, neovim, etc, but we cant't use vscode setting.json anywhere else. That's the problem.

Maybe support both setting.json and vimrc is a better way?

johnfn · 2016-12-23T07:20:27Z

I see your argument. Reopening this issue.

pietvanzoen · 2017-03-01T13:55:17Z

+1 for this feature. Is there any update?

johnfn · 2017-03-01T14:05:25Z

It's certainly on my radar, however it is currently deprioritized because:

There are a lot of other issues with more thumbs up that we need to get to first.
No functionality is actually lacking. It's just annoying not to have.

If a bunch of people thumbs up the original issue, I'll certainly reconsider :)

@polunzh The update is the post I made 9 days ago right above you. :P

Just discovered Visual Studio Code, and immediately installed this plugin only to discover my .vimrc isn't being recognized 😢 I can't use vim mode without my vimrc, too many keybindings that I have developed over the years and too lazy to port them over to this plugin.

Chillee · 2017-07-12T19:36:49Z

@atedja Luckily, very good progress is being made on that front. Through neovim integration, we'll be able to support your entire .vimrc (including plugins)!

#1897 is the PR you want to track.

Read key remapping commands from $HOME/.vimrc, $HOME/_vimrc, or a user-specified Vim configuration file. For each, build an IKeyRemapping object and append it to the appropriate collection, _if_ doing so will not override a remapping specified in the VS Code settings. Partially addresses #463. This implementation borrows heavily from Sheepolution/vimrc-to-json. * Add `editVimrc` command * Add .vimrc validator, correct usage of new config names * Source .vimrc automatically after saving it

For instance, `nnoremap gs workbench.action.showAllSymbols` will now work. Refs #463

J-Fields · 2019-12-09T21:37:39Z

Hey all! With the release of 1.12, I'm excited to announce that VSCodeVim now supports remappings from a .vimrc file! Special thanks go to @rdnlsmith and @Sheepolution for their great work on this.

To get started, set vim.vimrc.enable and vim.vimrc.path appropriately. You can then run the new Edit .vimrc command from the command palette.

Please note that other settings, plugins, etc. are still not supported via .vimrc. In addition, this feature shouldn't be considered 100% stable, so please test it out and submit issues with any feedback you have!

duqcyxwd · 2020-04-15T00:36:39Z

@J-Fields Do we have some examples of what we currently support?

filyp · 2020-05-12T20:50:44Z

It looks that inoremap doesn't work, while imap and nnoremap are fine.

- Implement unmap and mapclear commands from vimrc with all possible values - Update the mapping regex to include all possible values (except the ones specific for SelectMode and TerminalMode) - Create tests for the new implementations (Refs VSCodeVim#463 )

thosakwe · 2020-07-17T16:02:26Z

Does this support <leader> mappings? I haven't been able to get any of my bindings to work at all, whether with leader or localleader.

EDIT: It turns out that you must set the leader key in VSCode's settings, not just in your .vimrc

Currently only the remaps are read from the .vimrc. Everything else needs to be set in vscode settings.

This is a pretty massive change; see pull request #4735 for full details Most notably: - Support for operator-pending mode, including remaps and a half-cursor decoration - Correct handling of ambiguous remaps with timeout - Correct handling of recursive special case when the RHS starts with the LHS - Correct handling of multi-key remaps in insert mode - Failed movements that occur partway through a remap stop & discard the rest of the remap - Implement `unmap` and `mapclear` in .vimrc Refs #463, refs #4908 Fixes #1261, fixes #1398, fixes #1579, fixes #1821, fixes #1835 Fixes #1870, fixes #1883, fixes #2041, fixes #2234, fixes #2466 Fixes #2897, fixes #2955, fixes #2975, fixes #3082, fixes #3086 Fixes #3171, fixes #3373, fixes #3413, fixes #3742, fixes #3768 Fixes #3988, fixes #4057, fixes #4118, fixes #4236, fixes #4353 Fixes #4464, fixes #4530, fixes #4532, fixes #4563, fixes #4674 Fixes #4756, fixes #4883, fixes #4928, fixes #4991, fixes #5016 Fixes #5057, fixes #5067, fixes #5084, fixes #5125

kyprifog · 2020-09-13T20:02:50Z

Just my 2 cents, but as a long time vim user often with intellij this not being figured out is my number one reason why I haven't more seriously considered switching to vscode for a while now. Don't really want to learn vscodes unique syntax for how to set up settings.json for my vimrc file.

mieubrisse · 2021-02-07T21:02:21Z

Any progress on this front? Per the comment earlier, it looks like this is the most-upvoted issue via https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+sort%3Areactions-%2B1-desc (as posted in #463 (comment) )

EDIT: Looks like I spoke too soon and this is actually working, modulo a bug!

laoshaw · 2022-03-29T14:12:03Z

jetbrains can read .vimrc just fine, hope vscode can do the same some day.

There remain a mountain of bugs and TODOs, but this a big step toward much more substantial vimscript support. Refs #463 Fixes #7136, fixes #7155

jetbrains can read .vimrc just fine, hope vscode can do the same some day.

I'm not sure if it's considered or untrivial, but I enjoy how jetbrains just swallows my vimrc and am not annoyed by the silent failures (basically it reads and supports what it can). It still works even after refactoring my vimrc into subfolders (few years ago) and just "plugged" from my main vimrc call plug#begin('~/dotfiles/vimide/.vim/plugged').

I'm excited to see active development on this.
