Edward, I want to make you aware of some work that I have done to improve (imo) the use of Vim with Leo. It may be of interest to you as you consider the scope of your work on providing Vi support within Leo. With some modifications to the "Open With" plugin, I have implemented support for the use of Vim's tabs and the automatic placement of the Vim cursor on the same line as the Leo cursor wen the file is first opened in Vim.
Using the tab feature within Vim results in each node, opened by Leo in Vim, being allocated its own tab in the same Vim window. This simplifies multi-file editing and keeps the workspace cleaner. To reduce the size of each tab's label, I modified the code to generate temporary files and configured Vim to provide tab labels that display only the node's headline and a tooltip for each tab that shows the node's ancestors. In addition, I have also configured Vim to always open at the same screen location and to automatically fold any sentinel lines seen in a file. These changes have given me a very usable Vi capability that works well with Leo. As a result, it is not as important to me that Leo have a full featured Vi editor emulated. Now that 4.4.8 has been released, do you have time to take a look at the changes and, perhaps, mainline them into the Leo product before diving into your Vi emulator project?
