Enhancement Request: VIM emulator for editor

[GDizzle]

To those of you who are fans of vi, please vote this up. Vi allows for much more navigation throughout a file and can make for more efficient coding. I use eclipse for java development and there is a sourceforge project (Vrapper) that is a plugin that you can install into eclipse. This allows me to toggle on/off the a vi emulator to use in the code editor. I would love it if this feature was added to PL/SQL Developer!

I have added this to the list of enhancement requests.

Couldn't you just edit your PSD files with VIM? If you have those files in your open PSD window list, it should detect any changes you made and update. Then you can execute, compile or whatever you want to do in PSD there.

@Marco. Thanks for adding to the enhancement list, it would be really awesome. I love vrapper in my eclipse development (java mostly, some ruby)

@Bernhard - Sure I could do that, but that is terribly inconvenient way to code. Thus why I have requested the feature added. Don't you think that would make it much nicer for those of us that prefer a keyboard based navigation? What I suggested would just be an option, not the default editor.

This feature is great on IntelliJ. I'm so much more productive with vi mode. Would love to see this in PL/SQL Developer as well.

I second this, I really love VI(M)!

Now, with neovim around, I think it would be much easier to implement this feature. It would be really great if PL/SQL Developer would provide such an integration.
