VIP is a Vi emulating package written in Emacs Lisp. VIP implements most Vi commands including Ex commands. It is therefore hoped that this package will enable you to do Vi style editing under the powerful GNU Emacs environment. This info file describes the usage of VIP assuming that you are fairly accustomed to Vi but not so much with Emacs. Also we will concentrate mainly on differences from Vi, especially features unique to VIP.
It is recommended that you read nodes on survey and on customization before you start using VIP. Other nodes may be visited as needed.
Comments and bug reports are welcome. Please send messages to
ms@Sail.Stanford.Edu
if you are outside of Japan and to
masahiko@sato.riec.tohoku.junet
if you are in Japan.
In this chapter we describe basics of VIP with emphasis on the features not found in Vi and on how to use VIP under GNU Emacs.
We begin by explaining some basic concepts of Emacs. These concepts are explained in more detail in the GNU Emacs Manual.
Conceptually, a buffer is just a string of ASCII characters and two special characters <PNT> (point) and <MRK> (mark) such that the character <PNT> occurs exactly once and <MRK> occurs at most once. The text of a buffer is obtained by deleting the occurrences of <PNT> and <MRK>. If, in a buffer, there is a character following <PNT> then we say that point is looking at the character; otherwise we say that point is at the end of buffer. <PNT> and <MRK> are used to indicate positions in a buffer and they are not part of the text of the buffer. If a buffer contains a <MRK> then the text between <MRK> and <PNT> is called the region of the buffer.
Emacs provides (multiple) windows on the screen, and you can see the content of a buffer through the window associated with the buffer. The cursor of the screen is always positioned on the character after <PNT>.
A keymap is a table that records the bindings between characters and command functions. There is the global keymap common to all the buffers. Each buffer has its local keymap that determines the mode of the buffer. Local keymap overrides global keymap, so that if a function is bound to some key in the local keymap then that function will be executed when you type the key. If no function is bound to a key in the local map, however, the function bound to the key in the global map becomes in effect.
The recommended way to load VIP automatically is to include the line:
(load "vip")
in your .emacs
file. The .emacs
file is placed in your home
directory and it will be executed every time you invoke Emacs. If you wish
to be in vi mode whenever Emacs starts up, you can include the following
line in your .emacs
file instead of the above line:
(setq term-setup-hook 'vip-mode)
(See Vi Mode, for the explanation of vi mode.)
Even if your .emacs
file does not contain any of the above lines,
you can load VIP and enter vi mode by typing the following from within
Emacs.
M-x vip-mode
Loading VIP has the effect of globally binding C-z (Control-z)
to the function vip-change-mode-to-vi
. The default binding of C-z
in GNU Emacs is suspend-emacs
, but, you can also call
suspend-emacs
by typing C-x C-z. Other than this, all the
key bindings of Emacs remain the same after loading VIP.
Now, if you hit C-z, the function vip-change-mode-to-vi
will be
called and you will be in vi mode. (Some major modes may locally bind
C-z to some special functions. In such cases, you can call
vip-change-mode-to-vi
by execute-extended-command
which is
invoked by M-x. Here M-x means Meta-x, and if your
terminal does not have a <META> key you can enter it by typing
<ESC> x. The same effect can also be achieve by typing
M-x vip-mode.)
You can observe the change of mode by looking at the mode line. For instance, if the mode line is:
-----Emacs: *scratch* (Lisp Interaction)----All------------
then it will change to:
-----Vi: *scratch* (Lisp Interaction)----All------------
Thus the word Emacs
in the mode line will change to Vi
.
You can go back to the original emacs mode by typing C-z in vi mode. Thus C-z toggles between these two modes.
Note that modes in VIP exist orthogonally to modes in Emacs. This means that you can be in vi mode and at the same time, say, shell mode.
Vi mode corresponds to Vi's command mode. From vi mode you can enter insert mode (which corresponds to Vi's insert mode) by usual Vi command keys like i, a, o ... etc.
In insert mode, the mode line will look like this:
-----Insert *scratch* (Lisp Interaction)----All------------
You can exit from insert mode by hitting <ESC> key as you do in Vi.
That VIP has three modes may seem very complicated, but in fact it is not so. VIP is implemented so that you can do most editing remaining only in the two modes for Vi (that is vi mode and insert mode).
The figure below shows the transition of three modes in VIP.
=== C-z ==> == i,o ... ==> emacs mode vi mode insert mode <== X-z === <=== ESC ====
You will be in this mode just after you loaded VIP. You can do all
normal Emacs editing in this mode. Note that the key C-z is globally
bound to vip-change-mode-to-vi
. So, if you type C-z in this mode
then you will be in vi mode.
This mode corresponds to Vi's command mode. Most Vi commands work as they do in Vi. You can go back to emacs mode by typing C-z. You can enter insert mode, just as in Vi, by typing i, a etc.
The key bindings in this mode is the same as in the emacs mode except for the following 4 keys. So, you can move around in the buffer and change its content while you are in insert mode.
The major differences from Vi are explained below.
You can repeat undoing by the . key. So, u will undo a single change, while u . . ., for instance, will undo 4 previous changes. Undo is undoable as in Vi. So the content of the buffer will be the same before and after u u.
Some commands which change a small number of characters are executed
slightly differently. Thus, if point is at the beginning of a word
foo
and you wished to change it to bar
by typing c w,
then VIP will prompt you for a new word in the minibuffer by the prompt
foo =>
. You can then enter bar
followed by <RET> or
<ESC> to complete the command. Before you enter <RET> or
<ESC> you can abort the command by typing C-g. In general,
you can abort a partially formed command by typing C-g.
As in Vi, searching is done by / and ?. The string will be
searched literally by default. To invoke a regular expression search,
first execute the search command / (or ?) with empty search
string. (I.e, type / followed by <RET>.)
A search for empty string will toggle the search mode between vanilla
search and regular expression search. You cannot give an offset to the
search string. (It is a limitation.) By default, search will wrap around
the buffer as in Vi. You can change this by rebinding the variable
vip-search-wrap-around
. See Customization, for how to do this.
For those of you who cannot remember which of z followed by <RET>, . and - do what. You can also use z followed by H, M and L to place the current line in the Home (Middle, and Last) line of the window.
Some Vi commands which do not accept a count now accept one
abc
below the current
line.
Typing an m followed by a lower-case character ch marks the point to the register named ch as in Vi. In addition to these, we have following key bindings for marking.
Vi operators like d, c etc. are usually used in combination with motion commands. It is now possible to use current region as the argument to these operators. (A region is a part of buffer delimited by point and mark.) The key r is used for this purpose. Thus d r will delete the current region. If R is used instead of r the region will first be enlarged so that it will become the smallest region containing the original region and consisting of whole lines. Thus m . d R will have the same effect as d d.
Note that the keys below (except for R) are not used in Vi.
*****
before point. Similarly 1 0 \ C-p will move the point 10 lines above
the current line.
downcase-region
).
upcase-region
).
vip-global-execute
).
vip-quote-region
).
spell-region
).
In VIP the meanings of some keys are entirely different from Vi. These key bindings are done deliberately in the hope that editing under Emacs will become easier. It is however possible to rebind these keys to functions which behave similarly as in Vi. See Customizing Key Bindings, for details.
In addition to these, ctl-x-map
is slightly modified:
In this and following subsections, we give a summary of key bindings for basic functions related to windows, buffers and files.
vip-switch-to-buffer
).
vip-switch-to-buffer-other-window
).
Insert specified file at point.
This chapter describes Vi commands other than Ex commands implemented in VIP. Except for the last section which discusses insert mode, all the commands described in this chapter are to be used in vi mode.
Most Vi commands accept a numeric argument which can be supplied as a prefix to the commands. A numeric argument is also called a count. In many cases, if a count is given, the command is executed that many times. For instance, 5 d d deletes 5 lines while simple d d deletes a line. In this manual the metavariable n will denote a count.
The keys C-g and C-l are unique in that their associated functions are the same in any of emacs, vi and insert mode.
keyboard-quit
).
recenter
).
In Emacs many commands are bound to the key strokes that start with C-x, C-c and <ESC>. These commands can be accessed from vi mode as easily as from emacs mode.
+++++
before point.
In Emacs the text you edit is stored in a buffer. See GNU Emacs Manual, for details. There is always one selected buffer which is called the current buffer.
You can see the contents of buffers through windows created by Emacs.
When you have multiple windows on the screen only one of them is selected.
Each buffer has a unique name, and each window has a mode line which shows
the name of the buffer associated with the window and other information
about the status of the buffer. You can change the format of the mode
line, but normally if you see **
at the beginning of a mode line it
means that the buffer is modified. If you write out the content of
the buffer to a file, then the buffer will become not modified. Also if
you see %%
at the beginning of the mode line, it means that the file
associated with the buffer is write protected.
We have the following commands related to windows and buffers.
vip-next-window
).
delete-other-windows
).
split-window-vertically
).
vip-switch-to-buffer
).
vip-switch-to-buffer-other-window
).
vip-kill-buffer
).
list-buffers
).
As buffer name completion is provided, you have only to type in initial substring of the buffer name which is sufficient to identify it among names of existing buffers. After that, if you hit <TAB> the rest of the buffer name will be supplied by the system, and you can confirm it by <RET>. The default buffer name to switch to will also be prompted, and you can select it by giving a simple <RET>. See GNU Emacs Manual for details of completion.
We have the following commands related to files. They are used to visit, save and insert files.
vip-find-file
).
vip-find-file-other-window
).
""
.
In Emacs, you can edit a file by visiting it. If you wish to visit a
file in the current window, you can just type v. Emacs maintains the
default directory which is specific to each buffer. Suppose, for
instance, that the default directory of the current buffer is
/usr/masahiko/lisp/
. Then you will get the following prompt in the
minibuffer.
visit file: /usr/masahiko/lisp/
If you wish to visit, say, vip.el
in this directory, then you can
just type vip.el
followed by <RET>. If the file vip.el
already exists in the directory, Emacs will visit that file, and if not,
the file will be created. Emacs will use the file name (vip.el
, in
this case) as the name of the buffer visiting the file. In order to make
the buffer name unique, Emacs may append <2>
, <3>
etc., to
the buffer name. As the file name completion is provided here, you
can sometime save typing. For instance, suppose there is only one file in the
default directory whose name starts with v
, that is vip.el
.
Then if you just type v <TAB> then it will be completed to
vip.el
. Thus, in this case, you just have to type v v <TAB>
<RET> to visit /usr/masahiko/lisp/vip.el
. Continuing the
example, let us now suppose that you wished to visit the file
/usr/masahiko/man/vip.texinfo
. Then to the same prompt which you get
after you typed v, you can enter /usr/masahiko/man/vip.texinfo
or
../man/vip.texinfo
followed by <RET>.
Use V instead of v, if you wish to visit a file in another window.
You can verify which file you are editing by typing g. (You can also type X B to get nformation on other buffers too.) If you type g you will get an information like below in the echo area:
"/usr/masahiko/man/vip.texinfo" line 921 of 1949
After you edited the buffer (vip.texinfo
, in our example) for a while,
you may wish to save it in a file. If you wish to save it in the file
associated with the buffer (/usr/masahiko/man/vip.texinfo
, in this
case), you can just say X S. If you wish to save it in another file,
you can type X W. You will then get a similar prompt as you get for
v, to which you can enter the file name.
In this and next section we discuss commands for moving around in the buffer. These command do not change the content of the buffer. The following commands are useful for viewing the content of the current buffer.
vip-scroll
).
vip-scroll-back
).
vip-scroll-down
).
vip-scroll-up
).
vip-scroll-down-one
).
vip-scroll-up-one
).
You can repeat these commands by giving a count. Thus, 2 <SPC> has the same effect as <SPC> <SPC>.
The following commands reposition point in the window.
vip-line-to-top
).
vip-line-to-middle
).
vip-line-to-bottom
).
recenter
).
The following commands are used to mark positions in the buffer.
Emacs uses the mark ring to store marked positions. The commands m <, m > and m . not only set mark but also add it as the latest element of the mark ring (replacing the oldest one). By repeating the command `m ,' you can visit older and older marked positions. You will eventually be in a loop as the mark ring is a ring.
Commands for moving around in the current buffer are collected here. These commands are used as an `argument' for the delete, change and yank commands to be described in the next section.
vip-backward-char
).
vip-forward-char
).
vip-next-line
).
vip-next-line
).
vip-next-line-at-bol
).
vip-previous-line-at-bol
).
If a count is given to these commands, the commands will be repeated that many times.
vip-beginning-of-line
).
vip-bol-and-skip-white
).
vip-goto-eol
).
vip-goto-col
).
Except for the | command, these commands neglect a count.
vip-forward-word
).
vip-forward-Word
).
vip-backward-word
).
vip-forward-Word
).
vip-end-of-word
).
vip-end-of-Word
).
Here the meaning of the word `word' for the w, b and e commands is determined by the syntax table effective in the current buffer. Each major mode has its syntax mode, and therefore the meaning of a word also changes as the major mode changes. See GNU Emacs Manual for details of syntax table.
vip-window-top
).
vip-window-middle
).
vip-window-bottom
).
These commands can be used to go to the desired line visible on the screen.
vip-backward-sentence
).
vip-forward-sentence
).
vip-backward-paragraph
).
vip-forward-paragraph
).
A count repeats the effect for these commands.
vip-goto-line
).
vip-goto-mark
).
vip-goto-mark-and-skip-white
).
vip-paren-match
).
The command G mark point before move, so that you can return to the original point by ` `. The original point will also be stored in the mark ring.
The following commands are useful for moving points on the line. A count will repeat the effect.
vip-find-char-forward
).
vip-find-char-backward
).
vip-goto-char-forward
).
vip-goto-char-backward
).
vip-repeat-find
).
vip-repeat-find-opposite
).
Following commands are available for searching and replacing.
vip-re-search
has value
t
then regular expression search is done and the string
matching the regular expression string is found. If you give an
empty string as string then the search mode will change from vanilla
search to regular expression search and vice versa
(vip-search-forward
).
vip-search-backward
).
vip-search-next
).
vip-search-Next
).
isearch-forward
).
isearch-backward
).
Replace string:
,
and if the mode is regular expression you will ge a prompt
Replace regexp:
. The mode is initially vanilla, but you can
toggle these modes by giving a null string as string. If the mode is
vanilla, this command replaces every occurrence of string with
newstring. If the mode is regular expression, string is
treated as a regular expression and every string matching the regular
expression is replaced with newstring (vip-replace-string
).
vip-query-replace
).
vip-replace-char
).
The commands / and ? mark point before move, so that you can return to the original point by ` `.
In this section, commands for modifying the content of a buffer are described. These commands affect the region determined by a motion command which is given to the commands as their argument.
We classify motion commands into point commands and line commands. The point commands are as follows:
h, l, 0, ^, $, w, W, b, B, e, E, (, ), /, ?, `, f, F, t, T, %, ;, ,
The line commands are as follows:
j, k, +, -, H, M, L, {, }, G, '
If a point command is given as an argument to a modifying command, the region determined by the point command will be affected by the modifying command. On the other hand, if a line command is given as an argument to a modifying command, the region determined by the line command will be enlarged so that it will become the smallest region properly containing the region and consisting of whole lines (we call this process expanding the region), and then the enlarged region will be affected by the modifying command.
For example, d $ will delete the region between point and end of current line since $ is a point command that moves point to end of line. d G will delete the region between the beginning of current line and end of the buffer, since G is a line command. A count given to the command above will become the count for the associated motion command. Thus, 3 d w will delete three words.
It is also possible to save the deleted text into a register you specify. For example, you can say " t 3 d w to delete three words and save it to register t. The name of a register is a lower-case letter between a and z. If you give an upper-case letter as an argument to a delete command, then the deleted text will be appended to the content of the register having the corresponding lower-case letter as its name. So, " T d w will delete a word and append it to register t. Other modifying commands also accept a register name as their argument, and we will not repeat similar explanations.
We have more delete commands as below.
vip-kill-line
).
vip-delete-char
).
vip-delete-backward-char
).
Yank commands yank a text of buffer into a (usually anonymous) register. Here the word `yank' is used in Vi's sense. Thus yank commands do not alter the content of the buffer, and useful only in combination with commands that put back the yanked text into the buffer.
For example, y $ will yank the text between point and the end of line into an anonymous register, while "c y $ will yank the same text into register c.
Use the following command to yank consecutive lines of text.
vip-yank-line
).
Deleted or yanked texts can be put back into the buffer by the command below.
vip-put-back
).
vip-Put-back
).
Thus, " c p will put back the content of the register c into the buffer. It is also possible to specify number register which is a numeral between 1 and 9. If the number register n is specified, n-th previously deleted/yanked text will be put back. It is an error to specify a number register for the delete/yank commands.
Most commonly used change command takes the following form.
For example, if point is at the beginning of a word foo
and you
wish to change it to bar
, you can type c w. Then, as w
is a point command, you will get the prompt foo =>
in the
minibuffer, for which you can type b a r <RET> to complete the change
command.
VIP records the previous modifying command, so that it is easy to repeat it. It is also very easy to undo changes made by modifying commands.
.
. For example, you can undo 5 previous changes by typing
u....
. If you type uu
, then the second u
undoes the
first undo command (vip-undo
).
vip-repeat
).
Miscellaneous Vi commands are collected here.
save-buffers-kill-emacs
).
3!Gsort
will sort the region
between point and the 3rd line. If ! is used instead of
motion-command then n lines will be processed by
format-command (vip-command-argument
).
vip-join-lines
).
vip-command-argument
).
vip-command-argument
).
vip-command-argument
).
The following keys are reserved for future extensions, and currently
assigned to a function that just beeps (vip-nil
).
&, @, U, [, ], _, q, ~
VIP uses a special local keymap to interpret key strokes you enter in vi mode. The following keys are bound to nil in the keymap. Therefore, these keys are interpreted by the global keymap of Emacs. We give below a short description of the functions bound to these keys in the global keymap. See GNU Emacs Manual for details.
set-mark-command
).
indent-for-tab-command
).
newline-and-indent
).
kill-line
).
recenter
).
previous-line
).
quoted-insert
).
isearch-backward
).
isearch-forward
).
transpose-chars
).
scroll-up
).
kill-region
).
You can enter insert mode by one of the following commands. In addition to
these, you will enter insert mode if you give a change command with a line
command as the motion command. Insert commands are also modifying commands
and you can repeat them by the repeat command . (vip-repeat
).
vip-insert
).
vip-Insert
).
vip-append
).
vip-Append
).
vip-open-line
).
vip-Open-line
).
vip-open-line-at-point
).
Insert mode is almost like emacs mode. Only the following 4 keys behave differently from emacs mode.
vip-change-mode-to-vi
).
delete-backward-char
).
vip-delete-backward-word
).
vip-ESC
).
You can also bind C-h to help-command
if you like.
(See Customizing Key Bindings, for details.) Binding C-h to
help-command
has the effect of making the meaning of C-h
uniform among emacs, vi and insert modes.
When you enter insert mode, VIP records point as the start point of insertion, and when you leave insert mode the region between point and start point is saved for later use by repeat command etc. Therefore, repeat command will not really repeat insertion if you move point by emacs commands while in insert mode.
In vi mode, you can execute an Ex command ex-command by typing:
: ex-command <RET>Every Ex command follows the following pattern:
address command ! parameters count flags
where all parts are optional. For the syntax of address, the reader is referred to the reference manual of Ex.
In the current version of VIP, searching by Ex commands is always
magic. That is, search patterns are always treated as regular
expressions. For example, a typical forward search would be invoked by
:/pat/. If you wish to include /
as part of
pat you must preceded it by \
. VIP strips off these \'s
before / and the resulting pat becomes the actual search
pattern. Emacs provides a different and richer class or regular
expressions than Vi/Ex, and VIP uses Emacs' regular expressions. See GNU
Emacs Manual for details of regular expressions.
Several Ex commands can be entered in a line by separating them by a pipe
character |
.
In this section we briefly explain all the Ex commands supported by VIP. Most Ex commands expect address as their argument, and they use default addresses if they are not explicitly given. In the following, such default addresses will be shown in parentheses.
Most command names can and preferably be given in abbreviated forms. In
the following, optional parts of command names will be enclosed in
brackets. For example, co[py]
will mean that copy command can be
give as co
or cop
or copy
.
If command is empty, point will move to the beginning of the line specified by the address. If address is also empty, point will move to the beginning of the current line.
Some commands accept flags which are one of p, l and #. If flags are given, the text affected by the commands will be displayed on a temporary window, and you will be asked to hit return to continue. In this way, you can see the text affected by the commands before the commands will be executed. If you hit C-g instead of <RET> then the commands will be aborted. Note that the meaning of flags is different in VIP from that in Vi/Ex.
TAGS
in the current directory becomes the selected tags
table. You can select another tags table by set command.
See Customizing Constants, for details.
vip-shift-width
(default value is 8) determines the amount of shift.
vip-shift-width
(default value is 8) determines the amount of shift.
The following Ex commands are available in Vi, but not implemented in VIP.
abbreviate, list, next, print, preserve, recover, rewind, source, unabbreviate, xit, z
If you have a file called .vip
in your home directory, then it
will also be loaded when VIP is loaded. This file is thus useful for
customizing VIP.
An easy way to customize VIP is to change the values of constants used in VIP. Here is the list of the constants used in VIP and their default values.
vip-shift-width 8
vip-re-replace nil
t
then do regexp replace, if nil
then do string replace.
vip-search-wrap-around t
t
, search wraps around the buffer.
vip-re-search nil
t
then search is reg-exp search, if nil
then vanilla
search.
vip-case-fold-search nil
t
search ignores cases.
vip-re-query-replace nil
t
then do reg-exp replace in query replace.
vip-open-with-indent nil
t
then indent to the previous current line when open a new line
by o or O command.
vip-tags-file-name "TAGS"
vip-help-in-insert-mode nil
t
then <C-h> is bound to help-command
in insert mode,
if nil
then it sis bound to delete-backward-char
.
You can reset these constants in VIP by the Ex command set. Or you
can include a line like this in your .vip
file:
(setq vip-case-fold-search t)
VIP uses vip-command-mode-map
as the local keymap for vi mode.
For example, in vi mode, <SPC> is bound to the function
vip-scroll
. But, if you wish to make <SPC> and some other keys
behave like Vi, you can include the following lines in your .vip
file.
(define-key vip-command-mode-map "\C-g" 'vip-info-on-file) (define-key vip-command-mode-map "\C-h" 'vip-backward-char) (define-key vip-command-mode-map "\C-m" 'vip-next-line-at-bol) (define-key vip-command-mode-map " " 'vip-forward-char) (define-key vip-command-mode-map "g" 'vip-keyboard-quit) (define-key vip-command-mode-map "s" 'vip-substitute) (define-key vip-command-mode-map "C" 'vip-change-to-eol) (define-key vip-command-mode-map "R" 'vip-change-to-eol) (define-key vip-command-mode-map "S" 'vip-substitute-line) (define-key vip-command-mode-map "X" 'vip-delete-backward-char)
