![]() Closes #19417 Release Notes: - vim : Added `r` and `a` as aliases for `[` and `<` text objects (copying vim-surround). - vim: (breaking change) rebound the function argument text object to `g`. - vim: Fixed surrounds to allow `b`/`B`/`r`/`a` anywhere you could use `(`, `{`, `[`, `<`. --- - vim: Added `b`, `B`, `r`, `s`, `a` as aliases for `()`, `{}`, `[]`, `<>` in vim surround mode. - Adds a new `surround_alias` function where aliases are defined. - This function is used in `find_surround_pairs` to substitute the chosen text with the alias - The keymap is also modified to add support for Square and Angle brackets when changing surrounds. These two were added to follow the example of Tim Pope's ubiquitous `vim-surround` plugin. - I had to overwrite the `vim::Argument` keybind in order to do this. I moved it to use the `g` modifier. I realize this is a breaking change and will happily move the `vim::AngleBracket` keymap to a different letter if you'd like to avoid this. I'm just trying to keep with convention. Ideally, Users would be able to define surround aliases themselves in the config file but that's a much bigger task than I'm able to do right now. - I also added tests for the new aliases. Thanks for making such a clean and organized codebase. I was able to find the relevant section of code rather quickly thanks to this. |

This contains the code for Zed's Vim emulation mode.
Vim mode in Zed is supposed to primarily "do what you expect": it mostly tries to copy vim exactly, but will use Zed-specific functionality when available to make things smoother. This means Zed will never be 100% vim compatible, but should be 100% vim familiar!
The backlog is maintained in the #vim
channel notes.
Testing against Neovim
If you are making a change to make Zed's behavior more closely match vim/nvim, you can create a test using the NeovimBackedTestContext
.
For example, the following test checks that Zed and Neovim have the same behavior when running *
in visual mode:
#[gpui::test]
async fn test_visual_star_hash(cx: &mut gpui::TestAppContext) {
let mut cx = NeovimBackedTestContext::new(cx).await;
cx.set_shared_state("ˇa.c. abcd a.c. abcd").await;
cx.simulate_shared_keystrokes(["v", "3", "l", "*"]).await;
cx.assert_shared_state("a.c. abcd ˇa.c. abcd").await;
}
To keep CI runs fast, by default the neovim tests use a cached JSON file that records what neovim did (see crates/vim/test_data), but while developing this test you'll need to run it with the neovim flag enabled:
cargo test -p vim --features neovim test_visual_star_hash
This will run your keystrokes against a headless neovim and cache the results in the test_data directory.
Testing zed-only behavior
Zed does more than vim/neovim in their default modes. The VimTestContext
can be used instead. This lets you test integration with the language server and other parts of zed's UI that don't have a NeoVim equivalent.
