It was under heavy development at the time so a lot of stuff\ncan be broken and will not be fixed.\n\n## Installation\nMake sure you have `rustc` version \u003e 1.40 and cargo installed.\n```\ngit clone https://github.com/Peltoche/vixi.git \u0026\u0026 cd vixi\ncargo install --path .\n```\n\n\n## The \"Vim like\" approach\n\nThe idea behind Vixi is to use the powerful keybinding of Vim without keeping\nall the complexities and inconsistencies. In other words, keeping the 20% of\nVim used by 80% of users.\n\n\n## Configuration\n\nAll the keybinding presented below can be overriden via the `keyboard.toml`\nconfiguration file. You can find an [example of keyboard.toml config](./resources/keyboard.toml)\nwhich will override all the default values with the exact same values.\n\nThose configuration files should live inside a `vixi` folder placed into the\nOS specific config directory.\n\n|  **OS** |     **Vixi configuration folder**     |\n|:-------:|:-------------------------------------:|\n|  Linux  |        /home/alice/.config/vixi       |\n|  MacOS  | /Users/Alice/Library/Preferences/vixi |\n\n\n## How to use it\n\n### Modes\n\nVixi behavior is split in \"modes\" (like Vim). Those are:\n- **Normal** (the default one) used to move and manipulate stuff\n- **Insert** used to insert stuff\n- **Visual** used to select stuff and manipulate it\n- **Action** used to make generic action (save/quit/etc)\n\nAt any time you can return to the **Normal** mode by pressing the `Esc` key.\nYou can note that the **Action** mode doesn't exists on Vim. This somewhat\ncorresponds to the Vim `mapLeader` key.\n\n\n#### Normal mode\n\nThe Normal mode is the default one. It is mainly used to move the cursor around\nand switch into the other modes.\n\n|  **Key** |               **Description**               |\n|:--------:|:-------------------------------------------:|\n|   ←↑→↓   |               Move the cursor               |\n|   hjkl   |               Move the cursor               |\n|     w    |       Move the cursor to the next word      |\n|     W    |     Move the cursor to the previous word    |\n|  \\\u003cPgUp\u003e |        Move the cursor one page above       |\n|  \\\u003cPgDn\u003e |        Move the cursor one page below       |\n|     v    |            Switch to Visual Mode            |\n|     i    |            Switch to Insert Mode            |\n| \\\u003cSpace\u003e |            Switch to Action Mode            |\n|     o    | Insert line below and switch to Insert Mode |\n|     O    | Insert line above and switch to Insert Mode |\n|     p    |       Paste the previously cut content      |\n|     x    |             Delete text forward             |\n|     X    |            Delete text backwards            |\n|     q    |                    Quit                     |\n|     \u003e    |                   Indent                    |\n|     \u003c    |                  Outdent                    |\n\n\n#### Insert mode\n\nThe Insert mode is used to insert some content.\n\n|    **Key**   |         **Description**        |\n|:------------:|:------------------------------:|\n|     ←↑→↓     |         Move the cursor        |\n|    \\\u003cPgUp\u003e   | Move the cursor one page above |\n|    \\\u003cPgDn\u003e   | Move the cursor one page below |\n|    \\\u003cEsc\u003e    |    Switch to the normal mode   |\n| \\\u003cBackspace\u003e |   Remove a character backward  |\n|    \\\u003cDel\u003e    |   Remove a character forward   |\n\n\n#### Visual mode\n\nThe Visual mode is used to select some text and manipulate it.\n\n|  **Key** |                   **Description**                   |\n|:--------:|:---------------------------------------------------:|\n|   ←↑→↓   |                   Move the cursor                   |\n|   hjkl   |                   Move the cursor                   |\n|     w    |           Move the cursor to the next word          |\n|     W    |         Move the cursor to the previous word        |\n|  \\\u003cEsc\u003e  |                Switch to Normal Mode                |\n|     q    |                Switch to Normal Mode                |\n| \\\u003cSpace\u003e |                Switch to Action Mode                |\n|     y    |                  Yank the selection                 |\n|     d    |                 Delete the selection                |\n|     p    | Delete the selection and past the previous deletion |\n\n\n#### Action mode\n\nThe Action mode is used to make some generic action like saving or exiting.\n\n| **Key** |   **Description**   |\n|:-------:|:-------------------:|\n|    q    |         Quit        |\n|    w    | Write into the file |\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FPeltoche%2Fvixi","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2FPeltoche%2Fvixi","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FPeltoche%2Fvixi/lists"}
