IdeaVim
=======
IdeaVim is a Vim emulation plug-in for IDEs based on the IntelliJ platform.
IdeaVim can be used with IntelliJ IDEA, RubyMine, PyCharm, PhpStorm, WebStorm
and AppCode.
Resources:
* [Plugin homepage](http://plugins.intellij.net/plugin/?id=164)
* [Changelog](https://github.com/JetBrains/ideavim/blob/master/CHANGES.md)
* [Continuous integration builds](http://teamcity.jetbrains.com/project.html?projectId=project55)
Installation
------------
Use the IDE's plugin manager to install the latest version of the plugin.
Start the IDE normally and enable the Vim emulation using "Tools | VIM
Emulator" menu item. At this point you must use Vim keystrokes in all editors.
If you wish to disable the plugin, select the "Tools | VIM Emulator" menu so
it is unchecked. At this point IDE will work with it's regular keyboard
shortcuts.

Changes to the IDE
------------------
### Undo/Redo
The IdeaVim plugin uses the undo/redo functionality of the IntelliJ platform,
so the behaviour of the `u` and `<C-R>` commands may differ from the original
Vim. Vim compatibility of undo/redo may be improved in the future releases.
### Escape
In the IDE, the `<Esc>` key is used during editing to cancel code completion
windows, dialog windows, and parameter tooltips. While in the Vim insert mode,
`<Esc>` is used to return back to the normal mode. If you are typing in the
insert mode and a code completion window is popped up, pressing `<Esc>` cancel
the window without exiting the insert mode.
Using `<Esc>` in dialog windows remains problematic. For most dialog windows
the Vim emulator is put into the insert mode without the possibility to switch to
the normal mode. In some dialog windows the normal mode is on by default. The
usage of the Vim emulator in dialog windows is an area for improvements.
### Menu Changes
In order to emulate the keystrokes used by Vim, several of the default hotkeys
used by the IDE had to be changed. Below is a list of IDE menus, their default
keyboard shortcuts, and their new VIM keystrokes.
