Anyone experiencing odd behaviour with the VI mode in MonoDevelop. Its not really working like a normal VI and has nasty bugs.
Things I noted so far:
- Goto line using the command “:1” crashes it. “:2” goes to line 1 ??? In fact its a line out all the time.
- Sometimes decide not to scroll the window as you move your cusor off the page. You need to use the scrollbar to find your custor. Dont know what causes it but sometimes decides to start behaving again.
- The “.” command which repeats last command doesnt work
- Entering a number before a command doesnt perform the command that many times. ie “5y” doesnt yank fine lines. Only 1. You cant yank to a marker. “5j” goes down 1 line not 5.
Lot of the things that makes VI such a quick code editor simply dont work.
