VimIMContext

Vim emulation.

The `GtkSourceVimIMContext` is a [[email protected]] implementation that can be used to provide Vim-like editing controls within a [ class@View].

The `GtkSourceViMIMContext` will process incoming [[email protected]] as the user types. It should be used in conjunction with a [ [email protected]].

Various features supported by `GtkSourceVimIMContext` include:

• Normal, Insert, Replace, Visual, and Visual Line modes
• Support for an integrated command bar and current command preview
• Search and replace
• Motions and Text Objects
• History replay
• Jumplists within the current file
• Registers including the system and primary clipboards
• Creation and motion to marks
• Some commonly used Vim commands

It is recommended that applications display the contents of [property@VimIMContext:command-bar-text] and [ property@VimIMContext:command-text] to the user as they represent the command-bar and current command preview found in Vim.

`GtkSourceVimIMContext` attempts to work with additional [[email protected]] implementations such as IBus by querying the [ [email protected]] before processing the command in states which support it (notably Insert and Replace modes).

```c GtkEventController *key; GtkIMContext *im_context; GtkWidget *view;

view = gtk_source_view_new (); im_context = gtk_source_vim_im_context_new (); key = gtk_event_controller_key_new ();

gtk_event_controller_key_set_im_context (GTK_EVENT_CONTROLLER_KEY (key), im_context); gtk_event_controller_set_propagation_phase (key, GTK_PHASE_CAPTURE); gtk_widget_add_controller (view, key); gtk_im_context_set_client_widget (im_context, view);

g_object_bind_property (im_context, "command-bar-text", command_bar_label, "label", 0); g_object_bind_property (im_context, "command-text", command_label, "label", 0); ```
