RubyMine Plugins

Great! I won't be able to use IDE (though it's great) without this plugin. I am a VIM fan, now I am a PhpStorm fan.

Thanks, guys. Develop with pleasure!

Oleg,

This is really helpful. I just purchased 11.0 and everything works great! Thanks for all your help on this!

These 2 fixes are huge. Thanks for your work in fixing these Oleg.

I'm loving the fix in 0.21.86 to stop insert from centering the line.

Hello guys,

New plugin version is out. It contains fix for keymap switching, and behavior of . command. Full release notes are available here: http://youtrack.jetbrains.net/releaseNotes/VIM?q=Fix+versions%3A+0.21.86

Experiencing some insert/delete issues after upgrading to IDEA11, forced me to roll back to 10. Symptom is dd to delete the line jumps cursor to a line where edits happened in the past and removes from there even if you've been inserting recently at the current location. Restart of IDEA11 solves. Great plugin though.

@tavise what i've done is copy my keymap over the default and changed the name to match the filename. on os x the path is ~user/Library/Preferences/IntelliJIdea11/keymaps

make sure to exit idea first before doing the copy.

http://youtrack.jetbrains.net/issue/VIM-160

@lex: I have the exact same problem, and am looking for a solution ... anyone else?

nbrown,
The plugin has always been, and still is, open-source. The code is available at https://github.com/olegs/ideavim

everytime i start intellij 11 it switches the keymap back to "Vim." is this a known problem or am I doing something wrong?

thanks

@rdhalman, plugin version shows you the latest available version for your IDE version. Newer versions are not compatible.

Fixed my problem with escape -- it was mapped to other things. Not sure why. Removed those mappings and now works.

Is there a list of "gotchas" with this keymap?

Where is this plugin documented?

I'm totally lost as I get into insert mode and escape does not take me out.

How can the 0.20.80 IdeaVIM plugin be installed? The Plugin manager is still only aware of version 0.16.60.

This should be a very useful plugin but I've found it a little buggy but more importantly very slow. Quite often I'm entering key strokes and waiting a noticable period before they are processed.

I've been using VI/VIM for 20 years now, and most commands are purely muscle memory for me at this point. I would love to be able to switch to jetbrains' tools, but with this plugin being as broken as it is, it's just too frustrating. Things like basic navigation, unexpected mode changes, and schizophrenic command repeat/undo have me flailing at the keyboard rather than getting work done.

Most of my complaints are minor and have been added to the YouTrack page for the plugin, but it doesn't look like there's been an update in months. VIM is a bit of a religion for a lot of people who use the editor. If you guys open-sourced this plugin as has been suggested previously, I'm sure the community would be more than happy to make it what it should be.

I love having vim bindings in PhpStorm and appreciate the authors' efforts. There are some bugs, though. In particular, dFx (http://youtrack.jetbrains.net/issue/VIM-145?projectKey=VIM) deleting one more character than what I asked for is a problem that's very disruptive, since I use this feature a ton. ciW also seems to not work, and that's one I find very useful.

Rather than attempt to fix everything on your own and make everyone happy, why not open source this project and draw on the community to fix some bugs? Since you have an audience that is very motivated to use your plugin and that also happens to be able to code, this is a good candidate to throw up on github and draw on others for some help.

I have been using this plugin in IDEA for years, and it has worked reasonably well. However, it has not been working as well in recent RubyMine releases. ESC doesn't always put you back into COMMAND mode anymore, and repeat last action key (.) doesn't seem to work very well anymore either. Are there any plans to fix these issues. I like RubyMine, but I need vi.

Wow, I entered a detailed multi-paragraph review in here, and this idiotic website cleared it all out because I got the captcha wrong.

I guess I'll just say that the only thing worse than this website is the IdeaVIM plugin. There is no non-trivial vi feature that it doesn't manage to get completely wrong. The 'u' command treats motions as individual actions, not just edits. The '.' command never does what you expect. The sed 's' command isn't supported at all. Even if you've used vim for only a week, you'll almost certainly find this plugin to be completely unusable. Total piece of crap.

Also, for those missing Lion key repeat, the following command enables it just for WebStorm. No need to reboot, just reopen the app:
defaults write -g com.jetbrains.WebStorm -bool false

Would be useful to have change/deletion inside pairs, kinda like di" to delete inside a pair of quotes or di>. It's weird because this does seem to work for some pairs like {} but not for others.

And apparently more people are missing this feature

Update: The missing key repeat is a Lion 'feature' that can be re-enabled by following this page http://www.belchak.com/2011/07/23/re-enabling-key-repeat-in-osx-lion/ (be sure to reboot to have it take effect)

I've just downloaded this plug-in and I'm looking forward to being able to use vi-style editing in AppCode.

I notice that when I press and hold the 'j' key that it only goes down a single line. In other vi editors, this will keep moving down lines until I lift my finger. My personal editing style seems to use this feature a lot! Is there any way to turn on the 'repeats'?

I've tried adjusting the Mac keyboard preferences, but that didn't seem to have any affect. It isn't just slow to repeat, it doesn't repeat at all.

I'm using the latest version of AppCode, the plug-in and Lion.

Doesn't work in Idea 10.5, build #IU-10.105

Does not work 0.16.60 on RM 3.2.4, build 107.612. Choosing the Vim keymap makes a number of keybindings blue/unbound.

I wanted to love PyCharm, and I couldn\\\'t really use it without IdeaVIM. But it seems much slower with IdeaVim.

It\\\'s slow enough that I\\\'ve mostly gone back to using vim instead of the IDE.

The functionality is there though.

+1 for this: "Please do make it so that popup dialogs don't work with the vi-mode enabled."

The current insert bugs with popups are the main painpoint--it would be best to simply removed vi-mode for all the popups.

I can only move one space when I hold down the motion keys hjkl with the new Lion and Intellij builds. I have to hen peck them instead of holding down the j to move move move. Kinda nnoying. Still love this plugin though.

Does it support 'ci{' syntax? Looks like this does not work for me.

Please do make it so that popup dialogs don't work with the vi-mode enabled.

I've installed RubyMine 3.2 Beta followed by the IdeaVIM plugin.

Unfortunately the VIM key bindings are not working - not sure if it is caused by the plugin, or RM 3.2?

thanks

Johan

The latest update breaks the key bindings on Mac OS X. Neither Cmd-V or Cmd-B works anymore, as well as many others. A real PITA.

Hopefully this new release fixes the many exceptions IntelliJ complains that IdeaVIM is throwing, but I cannot stand to use it without a functioning keyboard.

> If you dw (delete a word) and the word is the last in the line, the newline at the end of the line is removed as well. This is not how VIm works. It should leave the new line character.

My fingers are conditioned to use D (delete to end of line) in that case. It's a bit of hurdle if you're conditioned to use dw, but as least it's a legit work-around. give it a try.

- Jay

cmd v, cmd c for normal copy/paste no longer work on OSX with latest version of this plugin and 10.5. This might be something to do with the fact that the keybindings are not cntrl Insert/Shift insert and there is no insert key on macs.

I really like this plug-in, but with the Intellij Community Ed. + Scala on a 13" MacBook Pro w/ 8GB of ram, IdeaVIM runs extremely slow that it is unusable. It runs so slow that when I press "esc" to exit insert mode, the event gets missed until I've waited a few seconds and repeatedly pressed ESC.

Will this be fixed in the future?

Hard to find the solution of how to turn on VIM. Tools -> and make sure VIM Emulator is checked. Works for realz now.

Upgraded to Idea 10.5 and the latest plugin. VIM no longer on nor can I figure out how to turn it back on. Ugh I cannot work without this plugin.

Please ensure that you are using the latest version for IDEA 10.5.

This plugin stopped working for me in 10.5 (IU-107.105).

Just updated my IDEA to 10.5 last week, and got the newest IdeaVIM. But now I can no longer use the typical shortcuts like ^N, ^B, ^Q etc. like before.
This feels like a nasty regression, or do I need a specific keymap to restore this?

I could not use PyCharm without this plugin.

One little problem that bites me often.

If you dw (delete a word) and the word is the last in the line, the newline at the end of the line is removed as well. This is not how VIm works. It should leave the new line character.

Thanks,

Joshua Gourneau

The version stamp applied to this most recent build makes it not eligible to install in PyCharm 1.2.1 (the current version). PyCharm shows as build #PY-105.58 and the plugin is tagged with version 106.500. Please help! I'm stuck on IdeaVIM 0.14.54 and the escape key behavior is making me nuts!

Awesome plugin, many thanks

Is the update not compatible with 10.0.3?

Thanks for the quick update for http://youtrack.jetbrains.net/issue/VIM-97

It works as expected now.

Hello guys, we've just published plugin version compatible with latest IntelliJ platform IDEs EAPs. Also this version includes better keymap handling. You are welcome to try it.

thank you very much for re-starting development of this plug-in.


can you please add ci" command (change the text inside a set of quotation marks command).it's a very useful command.


thanks again for this awesome plug-in.

I'm digging it.

Please submit an issue at http://youtrack.jetbrains.net/issues/VIM

Great plugin. Seems to not work with the CamelHumps option, though, any plan to implement that?

GREAT job! I can't work without this plugin.

In the next version I'm going to make ideavim plugin to ask for a permission to use Vim keymap instead of users one. Expect it coming soon.

Why did you start to force vim keymaps on every restart?
Please stop to patronize me.

on os x it breaks things like command+a (select all) and command+c (copy) etc, and whats worse, those don't work after uninstalling the plugin!

I noticed one of the bug fixes was adding keybindings for Mac OS X + Vim. I don\'t see the bindings anywhere

Fixed plugin version is available. Release notes are available here: http://youtrack.jetbrains.net/releaseNotes/VIM?q=fixed+in%3A+0.14.54+fixed+in%3A+0.14.53

Thanks for the reports, will roll out fixed version asap.

After last update i lost commenting code feature with Ctrl+slash. rolled back to previous version :)

I recently IdeaVIM and for some reason now CTRL+SPACE to complete no longer works.

I looked into the keymaps and found that CTRL+SPACE and a bunch of other keys were no listed under Keymaps->Plugins->IdeaVIM->Keys, while the Keymaps->Main Menu->Code->Complete Code list was blank.

I was able to get CTRL+SPACE working again for code complete by adding it to the Keymaps->Main Menu->Code->Complete Code, overriding the mapping to Keymaps->Plugins->IdeaVIM->Keys and restarting the IDE.

This wasn't a problem on the previous version of IdeaVIM.

Any ideas on what's going on here?

I really like the plugin. It would be nice it vim split shortcuts would work by default.

ie:
^ws horizontal split
^wv vertical split
^wc close window
^wo close all windows except current
^ww go to next window
^wh go to the window on the left
^wj go to the window on the bottom
^wk go to the window on the top
^wl go to the window on the right

Hello Seancrotty,

This seems to be documentation glich, feel free to submit a feature request.

Regards,
Oleg

Great to see the plugin back in development.

Question: index.txt (https://github.com/olegs/ideavim/blob/master/docs/vim/index.txt) mentions that the EX Command :g[lobal] is available. But when I try to use it with IDEA I get the usual message "VIM - Not an editor command :g"

Am I missing something?

Thanks!

We'll appreciate a lot your bug reports at: http://youtrack.jetbrains.net/issues/VIM
Vim keymap is crucial for correct plugin work.

Tried it for about 3 houres and it crashed about 4 times, I´d really love to use this properly.
Isn´t it possible to use it with any other keymap than VIM? Always I start RubyMine my Default Keymap changes to VIM :F

Thanks for updating the plugin! This plugin is a godsend.

Ah, I see. It's a bug with the OS X keymap. That's far more forgivable than intentionally pulling the rug out from under my feet and changing all of my key mappings. In the meantime I downloaded the source from GitHub, built it myself and installed it, and it seems that the bug is fixed there. Can't wait to see it fixed in the official repository version.

Hey, why did you break all of my existing RubyMine keymappings when I upgraded to the new version? I can't use Command-N to open a class any more? Or Command-B to jump to a definition? Now I need to learn an entirely new keymap or quit using your plugin? I don't know why you would do this to your users. F.

New plugin version is out!

Hello guys,

We've recently moved ideavim plugin to the github hosting: https://github.com/olegs/ideavim.
Expect fixed version coming soon!

Regards,
Oleg

It's a long long wait..

As of now, it is unfortunately too buggy. It was buggy in IntelliJ 9 and is just as, if not more, buggy in IntelliJ 10.

I love to use it though, but I often have to turn it off because it hangs in some mode, often having to hammer Esc and arrow keys for ages before it snaps out of it.

IndexOutOfBoundExceptions keep the little red icon flashing a lot of the time. Still: better than nothing :)

Even cannot work without this excellent plugin.
Good job guys, please update for IDEA X.

I have a problem using Live Templates and the $SELECTION$ keyword. It does surround the selection, but removes everything else on the row. :-/ Otherwise, great plugin!

oleg_s, that's a great great news..

Hello guys, we have some work on the ideavim plugin planned, however we are waiting for sourceforge cvs service recovery after attack.

Need some donation? Just say it out.. Update it pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease~~~

Sloooow in RubyMine 3.1 as well. I check every day for update. This is a killer plug-in for many developers. We are lost without VIM as some newbe is lost with it.
Thanks.

So slow in IDEA 10.
Update it, please! I love this plugin so much!

I dont\' see any activity on this plugin. It is still missing a LOT of functionality and is a buggy at times. This is most likely is a show stopper for purchasing PyCharm licenses for my entire company as we are very much driven by VIM.

As stated by a previous comment:
----
2) Make caret behave as always when the plugin is off. Currently it is forced to always stay in the view, so it is moving with the scrolling ;(
----

This fix would be awesome, otherwise love the plugin!

@Anonymous on 2011-01-22T12:00:54,

I just installed version 0.12.7-9.x on IntelliJ IDEA 10.0.1 and it works very well.

Can you elaborate on the slowness you see?

I doubt it is related to keymaps but try using the default keymaps and manually add your frequent key strokes like Ctrl-U and Ctrl-D.

Too slow in IDEA 10.

Awesome!

This plugin has worked flawlessly for me in IDEA 9.0.x and X. Excellent plugin - thanks!

cannot install 0.12.7-9.x on rubymine 3.0.1
error:
com.maddyhome.idea.vim.key.CommandNode cannot be cast to com.maddyhome.idea.vim.key.ParentNode

Love this plugin. It alone automatically makes PhpStorm choise #1 for me. Thanks a ton for your work!

I have been using this plugin from the beginning and love it as I am a long time VI user.

can't see it in the Keymaps selection in v10 (mac)

This is the reason why I bought RubyMine. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

This is probably the most important plugin in the IDE. It makes coding so much easier.

Couldn't imagine using IDEA without this. Much appreciated!

- Allen

awesome plug-in

Awesome plugin, but... Could you please fix two things:
1) Add virtualedit mode
2) Make caret behave as always when the plugin is off. Currently it is forced to always stay in the view, so it is moving with the scrolling ;(
Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the awesome plugin! Keep up the good work!

please try to remove vim from various dialogue box.

ctrl+shift+f
debug, run tool window
F5, F6 keys, etc.

please update the help. I am new to vim and find the help very unhelpful.

Thank You!
This is a life saver. I just started working in a big company with a massive codebase, requiring the use of an IDE.
This plugin for IntelliJ has made the transition so easy! Amazing well done.

Thank you so much for this!!! I only wish that the vi mode wasn't in search dialogs (and various others). Are there plans to remove that?

A great plugin. Although it would be great if the autocompletion (ctrl+space, ctrl+alt+space) could be mapped to crtl+n, ctrl+x+o/p etc.

I can't see ever going back to any other ide because of this plugin.

Best of both worlds... Awesome!

that's what i was lacking in all IDEs

Fantastic to see some long-standing issues fixed! An absolute must-have for vi-fans!

Some rough edges, but overall pretty amazing how many things are working. Highly recommended!

You are welcome at http://youtrack.jetbrains.net/issues/VIM
for bug reports and feature requests.

after installing 0.12.6-9.x, IDEA sometimes doesn't respond to my keyboard clicks.

Plugin version for IDEA 9.0 is available for download!

I\'m not buying IDEA 9 without this plugin.

I'm not buying IDEA 9 without this plugin.

Ever since I purchased RM last October, the plugin list always shows IdeaVIM 12.2 instead of the current 12.5 version, so tonight I downloaded and replaced the files in ...plugins/IdeaVIM (Mac OS X)

Now the plugin works. Thank you so very much for this! My fingers and brain are happy-happy-joy-joy now that they can type again instead of constantly reaching for the trackpad and button.

For me, I'd happily pay $99 for this plugin alone.

What is the status on this plugin. I downloaded the source to try to fix some issues that I have when using IDEA 9.

But I cannot compile, because of the following errors, it seems the API has changed in a few places. I would be glad to help if I can only get started in the first place.

Regards
Anders

Nay ideas?

Is this plugin not open source anymore?
The CVS on sourceforge is not the current version..

Would be a pity - I would like to contribute..

The plugin is not available for RubyMine 2.0 beta

The plugin works fine but there are still some annoyances, I work on a MacBook, so I do not have an insert key in my built-in keyboard, in MacVim (and in any version of Vim) I just type gR to begin the Replace mode, this however does not work with this plugin, but it have the same vi functionality that I prefer just because I'm forced to use this IDE in my job.

Long, long time VIM user. LOve IntelliJ. Installed the plugin. It crashes every time I open a file, with a complaint about invalid file length.

The latest vim plug 0.12.3 upgrade fails with message: "com.intellij.modules.lang: error in opening zip file".

I would not use any IDE unless it had vi mode. This plugin works mostly, except that I get lot of error traces when refactoring. Nothing of concern since I can dismiss the error and continue. The only problem is that regular copy/paste do not work when using this plugin. It is a shame (gvim works beautifully with regular copy/paste). The other problem is that folded comment blocks open up when I introduce a comment and stay open. A few minor annoyances do exist, but still makes IntelliJ usable.

I purchased Idea because of this plugin. If it didn't exist, I would not have bought Idea

The editor is nice, but the fact that it breaks the auto-scrolling in the console (run) window makes it more annoying than it's worth. And the fact that the problem was logged as a bug (#1578495) back in 2006...

Excellent plugin.
- Vinu

I couldn't use Idea without this plugin. Thanks, Rick!

Absolutely essential! Your plugin is a life saver, buddy!

Very Very great!

Greate!!

Great plugin! A life saver!

Essential plugin if you don't like having to take your hands off the keyboard when coding.

Probably have to be an old school Unix person to need VI, I personally can't code without it ...some might say I can't code with it...hah!

Absolutely essential - and helps to hide the fact I'm running an IDE on Windows :)

I love this plugin - I don't think I could use IDEA without. A must have!

I don't think I could use IDEA without this plugin. It's by far my favorite and most essential.

Great!

I think the VIM module is great.
-tpop

Very easy to use. Integrates well within IntelliJ IDEA. It's not just a set of key-mappings.

it's probably much harder to make vi style, then others (likes emacs and all), and was surprised by the fact such plugin exist at all. It's hard to find vi style in any other dev env. and I am pretty used to vi style, type count saving
