Question

is it possible to map Vim key bindings for windows? just like vimium for chrome. I don't like the mouse sometimes. using vimium, I can press 'f' to generate 'names' for the link, and just press the name to open the link, it's awesome!

Where exactly do you want to use these keybindings? In Chrome for Windows? – Countersink

Sorry, my english is poor. It has nothing to do with chrome. But just vim alike keys for windows(Similar to vimium's job for chrome) – Lavonda

Answer 1

This is an AutoHotKey script that implements some of the vim functions in all applications.

Also LabelControl provides some label support, like vimium, but it's not always that useful.

@WaiHaLee You're right, thanks. I've made some changes, but I don't think I can include anything more in the answer. I'd have to upload the applications themselves. – Jason

you should download binaries from continous integration artifacts.

Answer 3

I don't know about any existing tool, but macro tools like AutoHotkey allow to implement that. For a purely modal solution like in Vim, you'd need to save the mode state (and probably also indicate it somehow), which is difficult. Creating vim like functionality with autohotkey ahk outlines a solution (for navigation) that relies on another simultaneously pressed key instead.

Answer 4

To answer the stated question: Yes, and there exists several, but they have limitations. The best way that I know of is using AutoHotkey, which can be used to add several of Vim's features.

Due to how Vim commands work, it is only partially possible, as implemented in several forms. For several examples you can search for e.g. "autohotkey vim".
