Vim

VSCodeVim is a Visual Studio Code extension that provides Vim keybindings within Visual Studio Code.

Please report missing or buggy features on GitHub.

We've added a lot of functionality, but everyone uses Vim in their own special way, so let us know if we're missing your favorite obscure command. 😉

We're super friendly people if you want to drop by and talk to us on our Slack channel!

Features We Support

All basic modes
Most typical commands, including command combinations like c3w, daw, 2dd, etc. (Check the roadmap for details.)
Command remapping (jj to esc)
Repeating actions with .
Incremental search with / and ? that works like Vim (doesn't just open the search box!)
Correct undo/redo state
Marks

Roadmap

See our Github Milestone page for an idea of what we plan to implement next.

Install

Within Visual Studio Code, open the command palette (Ctrl-Shift-P / Cmd-Shift-P)
Select Install Extension and search for 'vim' or run ext install vim

F.A.Q.

`j`, `k` and others don't repeat when I hold them down.

On OSX, the fix is to run this in the terminal. Be mindful as this is a global setting:

defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false

How can I bind `jj` to `<esc>`?

Add the following to settings.json (open the Command Pallete and search for "User Settings"):

   "vim.insertModeKeyBindings": [
        {
            "before": ["j", "j"],
            "after": ["<esc>"]
        }
   ]

If you want to press jj in modes which are not Insert Mode and still have it trigger <esc>, do the following as well:

   "vim.otherModesKeyBindings": [
        {
            "before": ["j", "j"],
            "after": ["<esc>"]
        }
   ]


Be sure to restart VSCode after making these changes.

#### How can I enable `ctrl-c` as an alternative to `<esc>`?

Put the following in your `settings.json`:

```    "vim.useCtrlKeys": true```

and restart VSCode.
