LyX ⇒ LyX for vim user: normal_mode, insert_mode

[nilo888]

Hallo to you all,
I want to use lyx with vim's mode. I have found a way: using a strange rebind of keys.

I hope that some other vim user could help me to improve this and give me some advices.

The trick is to use the LFUN(lyx function) meta-prefix. After you have given this lfun, for example i, lyx understand Meta-i(not only i) and if Meta-i give a command and then a meta-prefix lfun, an other key (e) will be interpreted as Meta-e.
Now if we do this for a lot of (maybe all) keys we will be in a mode in which all keys are interpreted as meta-(key). Remapping all meta-(keys) we map the normal mode.
Now with C-c(for me, but if you don't like it you can use C-j or the key you prefer) we send a meta-prefix command and enter in the NORMAL_MODE, and with i (interpreted as Meta-i) we enter in the INSERT_MODE.
I have compiled a short(long!!) map key put this file name as my.bind in ~/.lyx/bind/ and in menu/tools/preferences/... I have set it as a configuration file for shot-keys.

this is my my.bind (obviously is incomplete ad to improve but is a start)

the problem now in the VISUAL_MODE I have do this mode with the shift pressed!

Code: Select all
