# VimWord

Word VBA add-in permitting you to use a subset of normal-mode editing commands

in Word.

## Installation

 - Exit Word

 - Run `Install VimWord.bat`

   - Alternatively put `VimWord.dotm` in `...\Word\Startup` or load

     through `Add-Ins | Manage: Word Add-ins`.

 - Map a key to `VimDoCommand` (I use `Ctrl`+`;` because it's easy to type on

   my keyboard.)

### Mapping a key

- Right-click the Ribbon and select `Customize the Ribbon...`.

- At the bottom of the `Word Options` dialog that appears, you should

  see a `Keyboard Shortcuts: Customize` button.  Press it.

- In the dialog box that appears, under `Categories`, select `Macros`.

- Under `Macros`, select `VimDoCommand`.

- Click in the box under `Press new shortcut key:`.

- Press the key you want to map

- In the bottom-left, click `Assign`.

- In the bottom-right, click `Close`.

- Back in the `Word Options` dialog, press `OK`.

## Usage

 - Hit the key you mapped, then enter a normal-mode command (e.g.,

   `diw`).  Currently, the supported operators are `d` (delete), `y` (copy),

   and `v` (select).  `c` (change) is also supported but doesn't do anything

   other than select the text.
