Hello, I've been using VIM for the past three years and have seen my vocabulary of commands increase steadily. It's amazing how with three or four key strokes I can do stuff that would take me minutes in dumb text editors or smart editors that I am not fluent with. I was reminded of my experience with another windows application (Excel) where I can hit <Alt>-e-s-e-v-<Enter>, for instance, to paste transposed values from source cells. No "chord" is necessary here by the way. ***I learned that by hitting the keys one at a time and looking to see what my options were from where I was.*** The Alt key highlights the menu bar, e opens the edit bar where I see Paste Special has the accelerator key of s. The Paste Special dialog comes up with accelerator keys e for transpose and v for values and finally Enter for finish the command. Can we do this with VIM? If I press the g key, I'd like to see a listing in an unobtrusive place of what other keys would accomplish following it. I believe this would greatly accelerate the learning of commands in VIM, thus its adoption by new users.
I didn't find any similar feature request from my cursory search. What do you think? -Brian --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
