jVi - vi/vim editor clone - plugin detailjVi is a vi/vim editor clone; jVi's core is a port to Java of major chunks of vim "C" code. Developers familiar with vi or vim are immediately comfortable in the NetBeans editor while at the same time taking advantage of Code Completion, Templates, debugging and all the other IDE features. Rectangular Edit helpset for non-vi/vim users who only wish to use this feature. There is extensive online documentation.

I would love to use this plugin but it just causes too many problems elsewhere in the program to be worthwhile. Since installing (and then uninstalling) I cannot view line numbers under any circumstance, among other problems.

Re: Broken on 8.0.2
jVi is working fine for me on 8.0.2. In my 8.0.1 installation I used to update center to get to 8.0.2. If this is still a problem, file a bug report at sourceforge.net/p/jvi/bugs/ and we'll work it out.

Broken on 8.0.2?
It appears it may be broken on 8.0.2 as the jVi menu item doesn't show up under tools and nothing appears to happen after both installing and doing a restart to make sure. It was running fine on 8.0.1 but had to upgrade due to ant bug/issue in 8.0.1.
Hopefully this can be fixed as it's a big productivity gain.

Netbeans supercharged because of your plugin
I was bit hesitated to use native vim as my editor because of the fear of losing intellisense, ctrl+click to definition and other nice netbeans features. Your plugin built my confidence on vim. Thank you very much.

I really admired your work. It's almost perfect. I enjoyed reading it. Thanks! What is SEO

Grateful for this plugin
Adding my voice to the others, jVi makes netbeans so much better for me. I thought I could not have the best of both worlds but it is possible. Thanks for keeping this plugin going.

Thanks for your share
One reason that I use Netbeans as main IDE is this Plugin. An excellent plugin!

Very high quality plugin
Just adding my own note of thanks to the many already here for this excellent plugin. I usually have Vim and Netbeans open together, e.g. editing a java project in nb and associated sphinx docs in vim, and being able to switch between them without the problems of keystroke inertia is terrific.

I am impressed!
This truly is a great plugin and allows me to take merge the benefits of Vim with the benefits of Netbeans. I really appreciate the time and effort which has undoubtably gone into making this great plugin available. Thank you!

Excellent!
After using it for a while I must agree with nsegura3; this plugin should be blogged about more often and promoted openly into the open developer's community.
Thanks for sharing this plugin.

Makes me want to switch from Eclipse
This plugin is leaps and bounds ahead of the Eclipse equivalents (though vRapper is getting there). If netbeans just had MyLyn!

Get the latest from sourceforge to use with newer netbeans versions
This should be the first plugin you install in netbeans if your a vi/vim user. If you are using a version of netbeans that is newer than 5.5 then get the latest version from jvi.sourceforge.net and get the version that matches your netbeans. The web page is a little poor in the navigation department, but, the plugin is of high quality and have had only one problem that was fixed very quickly after reporting. This plugin is under active development so check back often to sourceforge for newer versions.

Nice
I am a fan of vi/vim in linux, thus very happy to use similar commands and modes in Netbeans. However Netbeans 6.8 regrets me NOT HAVING WSDL and SOA packages.

Thanks. It's really great!
Thanks very much. I was using NetBeans before I was suggested to learn vim. Actually, if I have to choose between vim and netbeans, I would choose the latter. It was actually quite a coincidence I noted the -nb option in vim and had the idea that I may not have to choose between the two, but both. Later I was disappointed that that function seems to be discontinued. To my surprise, I then noticed jVi and actually this is the best way of integrating. It keeps most NB editor feature while adding a lot available in vim.
Thanks! And yes, this is the only plugin I have in my NB. Love NB, Love jVi.

Thank you! A real difference maker
Wow, this plugin tips the scales for me making Netbeans my IDE of choice going forward. By far the best VI for an IDE I have seen - makes a huge difference for my productivity.
Thanks!

Re: Not able to use jVi
Differenct versions of NetBeans have different versions of the jVi plugin. jVi uses SourceForge.net for download and bug tracking. You can download jVi through:

Not able to use jVi
Hi,
Just installed the jVi plugin in my Netbeans 6.5. But I am not able to understand how to toggle between Commnad/Insert mode. By default it's in insert mode. Say I want to yank few lines, so I used yy, but it's just printing 'yy', not working as a command. How to solve this? Any keyboard shortcuts? Please help!!

good job
recently added inner and outer selectors - fantastic!!! Thanks for this plugin
Posted by pete911 on Mar 19, 2009
A must
If you install a single plugin in your NB, it should be this one. It is a must for any serious developer looking to get the best out an IDE.
Your productivity will increase 64% when compared to IDEs without jvi. But seriously, this plugin is a difference maker, and should be promoted a lot more by the NB community, it could attract a lot more users to NB.

definitly amazing job
Excellent job my friend, I´m a "VIM" lover and my problems with frameworks are : frameworks editors don't use commands as VIM ones... your work is so great and finally makes me want to use one framework. tks a lot...
Posted by danielrantunes on Aug 08, 2008
Thank you so much!
I'm a newbie to netbeans (I'm using it for Ruby on Rails) and have just installed jVi. I've already used the prefs to fix control-h and control-[.
I really appreciate all your hard work on this. -- ge, chapel hill, nc

Very great job
Thanks to jvi developper !Know I can use netbeans :) Before I only use vim. The mix of those two soft is fvery good !

if it feels like vim it must be vim
One thing I really like about jvi is that it not only emulates vi(m) but it manages to feel like vi(m) as well. I have tried other plugins that have similar keystrokes/shortcuts but just have minor differences with vim that just makes it really strange to work with.
Somehow jvi has solved this problem very well. Ernie keep up the good work!
