map "jk" to go to normal mode in vi-mode

[divramod]

Hey, thx for the awesome project!!!!

I like to use "jk" in vi-insert-mode to switch to normal mode.
Can you please help me to find the right mapping configuration?

thx in advance!!!

Hi! Thank you very much for your feedback!

You can add the following line in ~/.blerc. (If you copied ble.sh/blerc file, I recommend to put it in the function blerc/vim-load-hook.)

ble-bind -m vi_imap -f 'j k' 'vi_imap/normal-mode'

If you want timeout after the key input j, please tell me. Currently the timeout is not supported in ble.sh, and therefore I have to take time (probably this weekend) to implement it.

hey @akinomyoga, thx for your fast reply!

this is exactly what i was looking for.

about the delay. i prefer to press both keys at the same time, because i have to do it the whole day and its faster. in vim i am using https://github.com/kana/vim-arpeggio to be able to use simultaneous keypresses. that really boosted some of my workflows.

so if you start doing something about that it would be nice, if i would be able to press both keys at the same time ;-)

thx again, great project. finally a reason i can completely switch to bash :-) the abbreviation feature and shell completion were the major reasons for me to stay with fish.

a thing i'd like to ask too is a mapping in normal and a mapping in insert mode to open the current command in vim. it would be nice to be able to open that command with vim -x.

i think there is a standard mapping for that but i never found the name for that feature. i had that running in fish and zsh too.

i added

ble-bind -m vi_imap -f 'j k' 'vi_imap/normal-mode'
ble-bind -m vi_imap -f 'k j' 'vi_imap/normal-mode'

now i can press both keys simultaneously :-)

Do you mean vim -X? Then, add the following settings:

VISUAL='vim -X'
ble-bind -m vi_imap -f '...' 'edit-and-execute-command'
ble-bind -m vi_nmap -f '...' 'vi-command/edit-and-execute-command'

@divramod Hi! I implemented a timeout for key bindings. Could you try the latest commit 272344e to see if it works?

By the following example, you can trigger vi_imap/normal-mode only when the interval of j and k is less than 40 milliseconds or otherwise j and k have the original meaning.

ble-bind -m vi_imap -f 'j k' 'vi_imap/normal-mode'
ble-bind -m vi_imap -f 'k j' 'vi_imap/normal-mode'
ble-bind -m vi_imap -T j 40
ble-bind -m vi_imap -T k 40

I also added an extension library lib/vim-arpeggio.sh to make the above settings easier. Instead of the above settings, you can put the following settings. bleopt vim_arpeggio_timeoutlen is the setting for the timeout, i.e., the maximal interval of two keys to be interpreted as "simultaneous":

# blerc

function blerc/vim-arpeggio-hook {
  source "$_ble_base/lib/vim-arpeggio.sh"
  bleopt vim_arpeggio_timeoutlen=40

  ble/lib/vim-arpeggio.sh/bind -f jk 'vi_imap/normal-mode'
  # Here, you can add further simultaneous-key bindings...
  # usage: ble/lib/vim-arpeggio.sh/bind [-m keymap] -[fxc@s] kspecs command
}
