Padre now supports the use of Vi keyboard, allowing users to navigate through the integrated development environment (IDE) quickly and efficiently. The integration brings the familiarity and power of Vi keystrokes to Padre, making it an ideal solution for programmers who prefer to use the Vi text editor.
The basic modes of vi are currently in development, but when vi-mode is enabled, users will reach the normal navigation mode of vi. The developers have made it clear that they do not plan to implement many of the configuration options of vi, and that even parts that are going to be implemented will not use the same method of configuration.
Despite this, the programmers are planning to add a novel feature that will search for vi configuration options in the source file, allowing the editor to set its own configuration based on the vi configuration options.
In conclusion, the Padre::Plugin::Vi is an exciting addition to any editing tool, allowing users to perform tasks in full vi-emulation mode. While some modes are still in development, and not all configuration options will be implemented, the software is continually evolving with new features being added regularly.
