I've given you feedback before, but will repost it here for other HN readers.

The main reason I don't use ViKing is that the hotkeys all end up shadowing something useful or being very awkward.

If I choose Ctrl I shadow Ctrl+H.

If I choose Cmd I shadow lots of stuff, like Cmd+L in a browser.

If I choose Alt (ViKing doesn't do that right now, but I'll assume it could be added) it's quite awkward (unless I remap capslock to Alt, but I've already got capslock-as-Ctrl in my fingers).

I don't have a solution to this, but would desperately love to find one.

Sorry I haven't fixed this yet. I've been swamped with other projects.

I was thinking about it tonight... what do you think of some kind of double-tap combo that would enable/disable ViKing functionality, like ctrl-ctrl?

The kevincolyar account does nothing but spam HN with links to his application. I am sick of seeing him post spam each time a VIM article hits the homepage.

I'm the author and submitter of the post and for what it's worth I don't mind his comment at all.

It's relevant because OS X Vim users would probably like to use Vim movement everywhere. I know I would.

It's certainly more relevant than the "use emacs lol" comments that inevitably show up.

Yeah, the whole vim/emacs war is so 1995.

I'm just trying to get what I think is a useful application into the hands of the people who would find it useful. If you find that irritating, just keep scrolling by.

Try contributing to discussions instead of copy-pasting the same promotional tagline.

You could also make some effort to actually understand vi — your app doesn't take you out of insert mode! Using hjkl and ypu does not somehow make anything vi-like when there's no command mode, no compositionality, and a hotkey that breaks everything else. Seriously, chording‽ If you're going to chord for movement just use the built-in emacs bindings! Instead of ^hjkl it's ^bnpf, if you really want to do something as inane as use modified letters as arrow keys.

Why did you write your cargo-cult app at all? There's at least a half-dozen InputManagers that implement true vi command modes already, and while nobody actually uses them, at least their authors appear to have actually used a vi editor before!

I'm sorry you don't find ViKing useful. It's not meant to replace vi, it's simply meant to be a tool that vi users might find useful. I know many who do.

I assure you I do understand vi. I use it everyday. I've explored the idea of making ViKing modal but based on user feedback have decided not to go that route. I am aware of the InputManagers you mentioned but I believe I'm solving a different problem.

Thank you for your feedback, though. I do appreciate it.

God bless.

This is what I love most about Vim, it's becoming a universal, mouseless interface to just about everything you use a computer for, except maybe games.

So far there's a Vim plugin or mod for: Emacs, Firefox, Chrome/Chromium, Opera, Eclipse, and now even OS X. What others are there?
