# Plover_vim

- This is an ambitious project that aims to make vim faster and more ergonomic for plover users

- A Python library to create custom dictionaries for generating (mostly) single stroke vim commands

	- e.g. 2caw, gcip, ya}

# Quick links

- See [speedrun video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-oDPhmpN9g) (2:50 min).

- For installation instructions interactive learning (`highly recommended`) see [plover-vim-tutor](https://github.com/Josiah-tan/plover-vim-tutor).

# Aims:

- highly extensible and customisable commands and translations

- (mostly) single chords for virtually every vim command combination

- Ability to do everything in insert mode (doesn't matter if you are in normal mode)

# Motivation

- Slowness of changing between insert and normal mode

- slowness of fingerspelling everything

- Emily's [modifiers](https://github.com/EPLHREU/emily-modifiers)

	- contains all control, alt, windows, etc. combined with every symbol possible

- Emily's [symbols](https://github.com/EPLHREU/emily-symbols)

	- symbols with full control over spacing, capitalization, and repetition

- User202729's [python dictionary library](https://github.com/user202729/plover-python-dictionary-lib)

	- makes coding a python dictionary significantly easier

	- highly recommend you check this out if you want to create your own dictionaries from scratch
