How to toggle between vim-emulation and no-vim-emulation when the vscodevim extension is installed?
VSCode has the same command system as atom. These commands can be started through the "command palette" and also bound to a key-combo.
The corresponding command is toggleVim
. You can bind this command to a key using the gear-icon > keyboard combos (sry, i don't know how to switch the language for an exact description :) ) > enter "toggleVim" to the searchbar. Then you can assign a combo to it.
Effectively the extension will be disabled or enabled quickly.
This answer is an extension to the previous answer.
You can use a keyboard shorcut for toggleVim
command with the help of keybindings in VS code.
For example, here I want to use Ctrl+Alt+V
to toggle Vim mode on/off. To do this I add the following to keybindings.json
and save the file.
{
"key": "ctrl+alt+v",
"command": "toggleVim"
}
You can open keybindings.json
from command palette Ctrl+Shift+P
, >Preferences: Open Keyboard Shortcuts (JSON)
.
Please note, you have to be careful to choose only from unused keybindings in Vim and VS code. Alt
key combinations are unused in Vim.
