shortcut keys - load config for VIM

Hi,

I need to configure an Oxygen installation and the user would like to use the VIM key mapping
Is there an easy way to load the entire VIM key config at once?
Are the Oxygen shortcut key mappings kept somewhere in an XML?
I can imagine that I could get it all in through a straightforward transform?
Anyone done something similar?

Thanks a lot

Geert

Hi,

The short story is you cannot use vim keybindings in Oxygen.
The problem is most vim keybindings are also typed characters (a, b, i). Since Oxygen's text editor is always in insertion mode, you cannot use such bindings without actually inserting the corresponding character in the editor. Oxygen relies on shortcuts that make use of at least one modifier (Ctrl, Alt, or Cmd) to avoid this.
If you'd like to tweak the shortcut keys, this is possible in menu > Options > Menu Shortcut Keys.

Regards,
Adrian
