Can anyone confirm whether Apple is actively working to improve the Vim mode in Xcode, perhaps adding support for things like the dot command to repeat the last command sequence or adding support for macros?
ongoing work on Xcode Vim mode
There is a Vim mode? Where😂
Editor ... Vim Mode
Also wish Xcode had better vim support. Just made a post about this!
Xcode vim mode got me really excited, but it is just missing a few commands that I depend on:
- . (repeat, this is crucial)
- Ctrl+v (column/vertical select), and Shift+I (insert in all lines of a vertical select)
And to a lesser degree I also use these often:
- Ctrl+a, Ctrl+x (increment, decrement)
- :w (save because it's annoying to mentally switch between to Cmd+s)
- :%s/<find_exp>/<replace_str>/g
And basic things like yy > p works only for 1 time, and if you find and go to the next occurrence etc p would paste inline instead of pasting to the next line
