Question

Currently, switching from insert mode to editor normal mode causes the text field to lose focus, requiring clicking on the field to activate the text cursor again which is inconvenient. Is it possible to make the switch without the editor losing focus?

Thanks

Hi

Is it possible to change the command from Esc to something else like ? The reason is that this way I could work with edii ediin with many windows, without needing to switch to guii. The only thing preventing me from doing this right now is that the Esc key is needed in many applications, but every time i click it it switches back to edin, which I don't want to.

Thanks! Gil

Describe the feature you'd like Sometimes it is helpful to know which mode one is in. For example, it would be great if the caret (insertion point) changes to block style like in the terminal to reflect that you entered normal mode just like in Vim, and then returns to the normal thin mode in insert mode. It would be helpful also to have a key binding to trigger the status indicator to reveal the current mode (just like the one that appears when switching modes). This is helpful especially for the GUI Modes.

Thanks and appreciate your work.

Related projects (Optional) A similar project that implements Vim using AutoHotKey (vim_ahk), has the caret width feature as an option.

Describe the bug Recently, whenever I right click the win-vind icon in the tray, the app closes. This wasn't the behavior before, where a menu appears with options like showing the configuration file location. This issue is only with win-vind, all other icons show their menus.

Environment (please complete the following information):

• Windows 10 Edition: Home
• OS Type: 64bit
• OS Version: 10.0.19042
• OS Build: Build 19042
• win-vind Version: 4.0.1
• win-vind Type: installer
• Is it reproducible?: Not sure

What I tried:

• Uninstalling/installing
• Removing my .vindrc file
• Restarting the computer

Thanks

Hi

I am asking this because it is much easier for me to remain in EDI INSERT while writing in Word and switch to other apps etc., than to need to switch to GUI INSERT every time I am doing something outside Word.

Thanks Gil

As discussed in #104, #96, we should implement the easy-to-write macro syntax. The current map and noremap have different features. The map is designed to propagate defined macros to other applications except for win-vind, whereas the noremap effects in win-vind scope only.

However, the map and noremap in the original Vim are used for different purposes with win-vind. It is a factor to misunderstand for Vim users. At this time, this patch allows us to write the following style macros.

noremap j <easy_click_left>

" a -> move_cursor_down
noremap a j

" a -> easy_click_left
map a j

" only inside {} is actually entered.
noremap a j{This text is inserted}

However, this patch changes the core design and effects .vindrc syntax.

Hi,

I have the following in my .vind-rc:

set cmd_fadeout=3600

-- which works very well for me, as it always shows me the current mode. However, there are specific situations when this label hide an important detail (even though I am using a small fontsize). It would be nice if there was a way to hide/make visible the current cmd, and then I could map that to a specific key, so it would be easy to toggle the visibility of the labels.

thanks for your consideration!

The 4.3.1 release is using a default config file in default_config/.vindrc and there's an error when launching the portable 64 bits release. The log says :

[Message] E: Invalid Syntax (L:277)

[Error] An runtime exception occurred from class std::vector<class vind::core::KeyCode,class std::allocator > __cdecl vind::core::parse_pure_one_character_command(char). The character '-' is invalid ascii key code. (...\win-vind-4.3.1\default_config.vindrc, L:277) (enum vind::SystemCall __cdecl vind::bind::SyscmdSource::sprocess(const class std::filesystem::path &,bool))

The 4.2.1 has not this problem (default_config/.vindrc is inexistant in my config)

Please note that I was just launching win-vnid for a 1st use and my .vindrc (my own) is empty for the moment.

Environment (please complete the following information):

• Windows 10 Enterprise
• OS Type: 64bit
• OS Version: 21H1
• OS Build: 10.0.19043
• win-vind Version: 4.3.1
• win-vind Type: zip
• Is it reproducible?: Yes

Hi,

I don't think this exists in vim, but can you distinguish between key press and key up in the key bindings that can be mapped in .vinrc?

If yes, then I would change my binding from:

inoremap <esc> to_edi_normal

to:

inoremap <esc[KEYUP]> to_edi_normal

-- that would go a long way toward ease of use of win-vind, because it will avoid incorrect actions and overlapping mappings, such as switching to other modes, like <esc-up> and so on. Only when the <esc> key press is released (=KEYUP) would it activate the binding....

If I set the following in .vincrc:

set autofocus_textarea = true

-- then the switch from INSERT to EDIT NORMAL in Word takes about a second, which is quite slow.

With thanks!!

Hi,

This is the page: https://pit-ray.github.io/win-vind/downloads/

It is a minor thing but will be useful to track the latest version. Right now the version is only given in the installer file name, but that requires to actually download the file in order to find out the version.

Having it displays on this page (and others?) would make it is easy to follow up on what's new.

Thanks for considering.

Hi, thanks for your great work. But it doesn't seem work well when I was trying to capture a screenshoot by other tools, for example Snipaste. Only in the resident mode I can start up the screenshoot window, but I can't drag or move my cursor in that case. I wonder how to capture a screenshoot. Thanks a lot.

Are Firefox Tabs Supported with EasyClick like Chrome?

The tabs in chrome have the text popup when you do FF in Normal GUI mode. Firefox however, doesn't appear to show the hotkeys for the tabs when doing FF

Hello,

I have been working with your amazing tool for a long time, following announces etc., but I want to make sure I did not miss any recent release. If I am not mistaken, a lot of new features and bug corrections were implemented since the last release of 4.3.3, which was a long time ago (maybe a year?).

Just thought of asking about this. N pressure intended, as your contributions are greatly appreciated.

Best

Steps to reproduce.

1. Select Start up with Windows.
2. Reboot system.
3. Don't enter the password immediately, wait for one or two minutes. Win10 will start all startup items even if I don't enter the password to login yet.
4. Wait for screen to sleep (this step may be optional, but I can 100% reproduce the bug if I wait for the screen to turn black).
5. Wake up the system to login and the error message shows up.

Question Hello. I'd like to use ctrl-w to close tab so I need to unmap all commands start with <ctrl-w> in GUI normal modes, including too many commands. So I want to use <any> as a wildcard, something like

gnunmap <ctrl-w><any>

however this doesn't work. Is there a good way to do it instead of unmap one by one? Thank you!
