Just in case you want to know more, here is a list of the resources I have used for this write up :-) The fact that it is still Vim at its core means that should I need to jump back to Vim in the terminal there will be no muscle memory lost. Sure there are some things that are what I would consider to be missing, but I think I will continue playing with VimR with a view to it replacing terminal Vim as my main editor. I don't know why anyone submits their pet projects here. If this isn't for you then fine but don't rush here to proudly proclaim how you don't understand the point of this. Browsing complex file hierarchies and large projects isn't great inside a terminal, and is a giant hurdle for many new users of vim. This is a polished port of macvim that has a file drawer, which is a feature that many people want baked into macvim. I love the negativity in many of the responses here. VimR Sounds Stupid, why not use MacVim or Vim?Ī commenter on the original Hacker News article I linked to said it better than I could I have pulled it down and opened it in X Code, like I say I don't speak Objective-C but it seemed intuitive enough to work around, it is interesting to see how it hangs together. If you know Objective-C (I don't) then you may want to have a look around the codebase.
