This project is a Vim keybinding emulation for Visual Studio Code. It implements modal text editing to separate navigation and content creation through specialized modes, reducing reliance on the mouse.
The emulator supports custom IDE workflows by importing standard configuration files and remapping keyboard shortcuts. It integrates with external processes to handle complex commands and reproduces logic from common plugins for surrounding characters, commenting, and rapid motion.
The capability surface includes keyboard-driven navigation using text objects, markers, and character sequences. Text manipulation is handled through multiple cursor editing, indentation-based selection, and register-based replacement. Search behavior and real-time highlighting are configurable, while the active editing mode is indicated via status bar coloring.
