Question

I'm used to the Vi(m) editor and am using MS Visual Studio 2005 at work. I couldn't find a free Vi add-in (there's only one for the 2003 version). I googled a bit, saw that there was a 'Google summer of code' project this year to write such an add-in, and am eagerly awaiting the result. I've also heard of ViEmu (not free, and I can't test it at work).

Has anyone in my situation has found a solution (and/or tested ViEmu)?

Edit: I can't test ViEmu at work because they are paranoid about what we install on our boxes: it has to go through required channels, and for 30 days I don't reckon it's worth it (and I have no Windows box at home).

Edit: Since both answers were equivalent, I ended up accepting the first one that came in.

Was it helpful?

Solution

ViEmu works great with Visual Studio. I used Vi(m) strictly in Linux, but I was turned on to bringing the Vi(m) editing process into the Windows world by JP Boodhoo. JP praises about it also.

OTHER TIPS

ViEmu works great. I've been using it for about a year now and couldn't imagine coding in Visual Studio without it.

Why can't you test it at work? It has a 30 day free trial.
