> hm. I don't think they were real vim users.. ;)
I can only go by what I saw in the shadowy moonlight and what I heard in hushed whispers. I believe them though... They seemed to know the secret handshake, but it could have just been their fingers contorting to another key combination. ;-)
> anyway, I've never used quanta.. but I will give you the opportunity to promote it some more.. :)
Hey, thanks, but remember I warned you... It has led to heresy.
> are you planning on adding support for ktexteditor components? that would be great.. I just tried kdevelop in ideal mode, using the vim ktexteditor.. heh, it was almost like the real vim! :)
Actually we're working on implementing KMDI which will make ideal mode support a reality. We have three developers dancing around what they have to do trying to decide who does it, but we are working on foundational elements that will make it easier. We've been gradually moving toward a more editor neutral design so that Kvim would be possible to use, though it may give up a small amount of functionality. Also the Kate guys have been doing some compelling work.
I can't give a date for Vim support in Quanta for sure. We have heard a lot less requests for it lately. I think, depending on developer input, the odds are fairly good it will be implemented this year. It would be very quick if a strong pro Vim developer were to get involved.
Of course if we enable a Vim plug in in Quanta I have to think about how to calm Vim users troubled that they may be addicted to something like an IDE. ;-) |
