\title Using FakeVim Mode
In the \uicontrol FakeVim mode, you can run the main editor in a manner
similar to the Vim editor. To run the editor in the \uicontrol FakeVim
mode, select \uicontrol Edit > \uicontrol Advanced >
\uicontrol {Use Vim-style Editing} or press \key {Alt+V,Alt+V}.
\section1 Supported Modes and Commands
In the \uicontrol FakeVim mode, most keystrokes in the main editor will be
intercepted and interpreted in a way that resembles Vim. Most of the
supported commands can be followed by a motion command or executed in visual
mode, or they work with registers or can be prefixed with a number of
repetitions.
The following sections describe the commands emulated in the supported modes
and how they diverge from Vim in functionality:
\list
\li Normal
\li Visual
\li Command line (:)
\li Insert and replace
\endlist
For more information on using Vim, see \l{http://www.vim.org/docs.php}
{Documentation} on the Vim web site.
\section2 Normal and Visual Modes
\list
\li Basic movement, such as \c h/j/k/l, \c <C-U>, \c <C-D>, \c <C-F>,
\c <C-B>, \c gg, \c G, \c 0, \c ^, \c $
\li Word movement, such as \c w, \c e, \c b
\li \e Inner/a movement, such as \c ciw, \c 3daw, ya{
\li \c f and \c t movement
\li \c [ and \c ] movement
\li { and } paragraph movement
\li Delete/change/yank/paste with register
\li Undo and redo
\li \c <C-A> and \c <C-X> increase or decrease a number in decimal,
octal, or hexadecimal format (for example \c 128<C-A> on or before
\c "0x0ff" changes it to \c "0x17f")
\li \c . repeats the last change
\li \c /search, \c ?search, \c *, \c #, \c n, \c N - most of regular
expression syntax is used in Vim except that \c \< and \c \> are
the same as \c {\b} in QRegExp
\li \c @ and \c q (macro recording and execution) special keys are saved
as \c <S-Left>
\li Marks
\li \c gv goes to last visual selection; can differ if text is edited
around it
\li Indentation using \c =, \c <<, \c >>, with movement, count, and in
visual mode
\li \e {to upper/lower}, such as \c ~, \c gU, \c gu
\li \c i, \c a, \c o, \c I, \c A, and \c O enter insert mode
\li Scroll window, such as \c zt, \c zb, \c zz
\li Wrap line movement, such as \c gj, \c gk, \c g0, \c g^, \c g$
\endlist
\section2 Command Line Mode
\list
\li \c :map, \c :unmap, \c :inoremap, and so on
\li \c :source provides very basic line-by-line sourcing of vimrc files
\li \c :substitute substitutes an expression in a range
\li \c :'<,'>!cmd filters through an external command (for example,
sorts the lines in a file with \c :%!sort)
\li \c :<range>sor[t][!]
\li \c :.!cmd inserts the standard output of an external command
\li \c :read
\li \c :yank, \c :delete, \c :change
\li \c :move, \c :join
\li \c :20 goes to an address
\li \c :history
\li \c :registers, \c :display
\li \c :nohlsearch
\li \c :undo, \c :redo
\li \c :normal
\li \c :<, \c :>
\endlist
\section2 Insert Mode
\list
\li \c <C-O> executes a single command and returns to insert mode
\li \c <C-V> inserts a raw character
\li \c <insert> toggles replace mode
\endlist
\section2 Options
Use \c {:set ...} to set the options listed in the following table:

" keep a 5 line buffer for the cursor from top/bottom of window
set scrolloff=5
" X11 clipboard
set clipboard=unnamed
" use ~ with movement
set tildeop
" mappings
nnoremap ; :
inoremap jj <Esc>
" clear highlighted search term on space
noremap <silent> <Space> :nohls<CR>
" reselect visual block after indent
vnoremap < <gv
vnoremap > >gv
" MOVE LINE/BLOCK
nnoremap <C-S-J> :m+<CR>==
nnoremap <C-S-K> :m-2<CR>==
inoremap <C-S-J> <Esc>:m+<CR>==gi
inoremap <C-S-K> <Esc>:m-2<CR>==gi
vnoremap <C-S-J> :m'>+<CR>gv=gv
vnoremap <C-S-K> :m-2<CR>gv=gv
\endcode
\section1 Mapping FakeVim Commands
To map commands entered on the \uicontrol FakeVim command line to actions
of the \QC core, select \uicontrol Tools > \uicontrol Options >
\uicontrol FakeVim > \uicontrol {Ex Command Mapping}.
To map \e {user commands} to keyboard shortcuts, select \uicontrol Tools >
\uicontrol Options > \uicontrol FakeVim >
\uicontrol {User Command Mapping}. The user command mapped to the shortcut
is executed by FakeVim as if you were typing it (as when replaying a macro).
\section1 Specifying FakeVim Options
To make changes to the Vim-style settings, select \uicontrol Tools >
\uicontrol Options > \uicontrol FakeVim > \uicontrol General.
\image qtcreator-fakevim-options.png "FakeVim options"
To preselect the indentation settings specified for the text editor, select
\uicontrol {Copy Text Editor Settings}. To preselect the Qt coding style,
select \uicontrol {Set Qt Style}. To preselect a simple indentation style,
select \uicontrol {Set Plain Style}. You can then change any of the
preselected settings.
To use a Vim-style color scheme, select \uicontrol Tools >
\uicontrol Options > \uicontrol {Text Editor} > \uicontrol {Fonts & Color}.
In the \uicontrol {Color Scheme} list, select \uicontrol {Vim (dark)}.
\section1 Quitting FakeVim Mode
To quit the FakeVim mode, unselect \uicontrol Tools > \uicontrol Options >
\uicontrol FakeVim > \uicontrol {Use FakeVim} or press \key {Alt+V,Alt+V}.
You can temporarily escape FakeVim mode to access the normal \QC keyboard
shortcuts like \key {Ctrl-R} for \uicontrol Run by pressing \key {,} first.
