In Sublime Text 3 Vintage Mode, using semicolon to find next result in 'f' motion does not work

Question

I'm using Vintage Mode in Sublime Text 3 on OS X 9.0.

In Vim, pressing f and then any character searches for the next instance of that character on the same line. I can then press ; to continue searching for the next instance of that character on that line. The , key does the same thing but in the opposite direction.

Neither of these commands function in Vintage Mode.

How can I bind those actions (next instance of character, previous instance of character) to ; and , ? Or is there an alternative hotkey in Sublime for some reason?

Answer 1

Don't know about the built in vintage, but you may be interested in using Vintageous. It's much more feature complete (in my opinion) than the included vintage mode.

Answer 2

Adding to the answer by Benjamin.

In Sublime 3, Vintage is already in the ignored_packages list (if you look in Sublime Text menu->Preferences->Settings - Default)

However, this is how you would do it.

{
    "ignored_packages": ["Vintage"]
}

Answer 3

Updating to the latest Sublime Text 3 build (3083 right now) fixes this problem with Vintage mode. Now ; and , work as expected.
