viPlugin for Eclipse

Full speed ahead!!! The most notable feature implemented is the "Cut buffers" where the last 9 copy/delete operations are saved. Type :registers to look at the content of your buffers and paste them with e.g. "3p

Dear valued customer,

It seems there is no stopping for the current release train! The biggest change in this release is definitely
the implementation of the map and imap feature. So go ahead and add all these time-savers you are all used to!
(e.g. :imap jk <ESC> or :map K oThis is a line<ENTER><ESC>) Note that you can also change the mappings in the preferences.

Hi guys,

It seems there is some confusion. There exist two licenses. One for the 1.x.y series and one for the 2.x.y series.
A license is valid for ALL releases of the series of the same major number! So if you bought a license for 2.x.y you don't need a new license until there is a 3.x.y release. The 1.x.y series ran for 7 years, so there will be no upgrade necessary for a LONG time to come!

Have fun,
Michael

And another release done! The most important change here is that I got rid of my internal DocumentAnalyzer, which highly improves performance on large files! But also for small files the viPlugin feels much smoother now!

Hi all,

As promised viPlugin 2.0.0 has been released before the end of the year :)))
All users who bought the viPlugin in 2011 will get a new license key file soon via email!
Long time users can upgrade for a special upgrade price of 10 Euro here!

So what is so great and new?

Visual mode uses the standard Eclipse functionality (so you can use all your shortcuts while still using vi visual mode)
Macros are saved when exiting Eclipse
Preferences are handled from within Eclipse
Block selection (c, i, x, d currently supported - use the § sign to activate block mode, will be changed to a configurable key in the next release)
The repeat command "." also repeats autocompleted inputs
Some very old and annoying bugs fixed (e.g. cursor movement in files with mixed tabs/spaces)
... and the list goes on

For the full changeLog have a look here:

Hello all,

After doing some stuff yesterday for the viPlugin I had the idea of doing a small screencast series. Let's face it: almost nobody likes to read the User Manual and most people probably don't know how to achieve some of the more hidden features of viPlugin. Therefore I start this little series with a screencast of me activating the CTRL shortcuts (a very frequently asked question).

Watch the screencast here

By the way: viPlugin 1.15.4 should be out this week, focusing on problems with the UndoManager in StructuredTextEditors (PHP, XML, ...) and some CTRL shortcuts not using the viPlugin selection.

Have fun,
Michael
