Vsvim: Add support for CTRL-A and CTRL-X

Created on 13 May 2011 · 6Comments · Source: VsVim/VsVim

See :help ^A and :help ^X.

Often when creating or asserting test data or working with arrays I'll want to be able to copy a line and then change the index by one which I do with one of the above commands.

Will do.

The only issue though is that CTRL-A and CTRL-X are select all and cut respectively. Cut int particular is hard coded into a lot of Visual Studio users brains to be cut. Remapping CTRL-X by default will probably confuse a lot of users.

I'll probably have to add 2 modes of key binding in VsVim in order to avoid this

I think it's perfectly reasonable to have a Windows-friendly set of defaults like gvim does (even though I can't stand them after having used Vim in the Unix world for 10+ years).

I just stumbled across issue #241 today (as I was about to file a bug report on blockwise visual mode and didn't know about CTRL-Q) and this feels like the same issue.

Yeah it's pretty much the same issue.

Added. Will push later on tonight.

Note: As discussed these keys aren't enabled by default. They have to be manually converted in the key bindings dialog.

For the sake of documentation: in order to enable ctrl+a and ctrl+x shortcuts, go to VS's shortcut settings, and remove current usages of "ctrl+a" and "ctrl+x". Now VsVim will handle those shortcuts.
