But we cannot assure it will in future as there is no real
maintainer.
Personally I was already thinking of removing the plugin btw.
Yes, without a maintainer, as soon as it breaks with a new version of
Geany I would expect it to be removed from G-P package. The G-P
maintainers have done a great job carrying the Lua plugin until now.
From my remembering Nick did the biggest part of it.
Either way, do you think that a vim overlay would be useful (to
some)?
As old tall tell there is also kind of a vim mode in emacs, there is
for
sure somebody who think its useful. But this being said: I expect
here you
will open Pandoras box. There will be people outside - lot of people
- that
will ask "why is :foobaa not supported".
I would recommend a quick google of Eclipse vim plugins, a cautionary
tale. There are several plugins but they are criticised because they
don't work well enough, are unreliable, so they are abandoned etc.
And that includes one that uses vim itself as the plugin. None of
them seem to have attained any real traction.
I think Frank is right, as a public plugin you are setting yourself
up
for complaints. Of course for your own use its fine to build such a
plugin.
I agree. However, I'd also find it useful in some situations (as well
as an "Emacs-mode" in other situations.
So. Maybe we should it say it in this way: Users will not sending you
"great job" if they like your plugin, but "it shall also support ..." ;)
Cheers,
Frank
