Onivim 2 Code Editor

[AstonJ]

@bryphe

Thanks for the warm welcome @AstonJ , and for getting a code-editor section set up Great to be here!

I’ve been meaning to add it for a while, I’m pleased that it may be of use to you and Onivim

I can’t wait to see more threads about Onivim tbh, I have a really good feeling about it - it ‘feels’ nice/slick, and so soon in its development too! I am sure it’s going to be even more awesome when it hits 1.0!

@bryphe

IMO, I think this should be fixed - one nice thing is that Cmd+... shortcuts tend not to conflict with built-in commands, so in places where we’re missing functionality (like Cmd+c/Cmd+v), I’d like to implement it to minimize the barrier to entry. The keyboard commands that conflict are tougher (like ‘Control+O’ on Windows/ Linux) - but the Cmd+ key on Mac def makes sense for us to handle.

Ah cool!

I wonder if you could build in an off switch as well? This might be handy for those who want to force themselves to learn Vim?

@bryphe

That’s good feedback! I turn off the telemetry in the vscode extension host, and Onivim doesn’t send any data - only traffic is an initial check-for-updates that sends as little info as we can.

How do you do that in Onivim Bryan?

I also wonder whether you could include additional controls essentially being able to prevent or authorise network access. So for instance whenever anything in Onivim wants to connect to the internet Onivim displays a notice asking for authorisation first (basically like Little Snitch but just for Onivim).

I think people are taking security more and more seriously now and I think this could be a killer feature for Onivim. One of the things I love about editors like TextMate and MacVim is that I can block all internet access for them via little snitch and they work perfectly. It would be great if Onivim does something similar to Little Snitch out of the box.

@neutronstein @AstonJ - ah, ya, I’ve been A/B testing our Patreon link instead (monthly vs lifetime license) - likely the next release I’ll switch exclusively to a monthly model.

But we still have the lifetime license available for order, just hidden - if you’d prefer the lifetime license, we still have a live checkout link for it: Paddle Checkout

Thanks for helping to support the project!

It’s good to know the pre-order lifetime license and discount is still there Personally I think most developers will be interested in being able to purchase a lifetime license rather than paying a monthly fee for access. The market is huge and growing each year so I wouldn’t worry about revenue - there will always be new developers and so always new people interested in buying a license (these are just my personal thoughts and of course you have to do what you feel is right for you and your product )

@bryphe

Logged a couple issues so I wouldn’t forget - these would be nice additions for Onivim 2 (I don’t believe they’d conflict with any Vim commands, luckily!):

• fix(vim): Several fixes around linewise scroll (control+e, control+y) by bryphe · Pull Request #2733 · onivim/oni2 · GitHub
• Feature - Editor: Add `Cmd+d` shortcut to select token under cursor · Issue #2734 · onivim/oni2 · GitHub

Great!

Would you like us to create a separate suggestions thread for Onivim, and another for issues/bugs? For things like tips and how to’s I would post these in dedicated threads as they will be more likely to be discoverable by anyone who might be searching for something similar in future.

One suggestion that comes to mind right now is that on resizing Onivim stretches whatever is in the window and then on release fits the new size, however when you are resizing a code editor window you are usually doing so to better fit what you’re editing at the time. I wonder if you could add this to your list (if it’s not already on it)?
