mac-vim-mode

This repository contains a bootstrap installer that will set up your Mac with a global Vim mode that works almost anywhere in the OS.

Exceptions are system inputs marked as secure, such as password fields, or anything in 1Password.

Main plugin development happens at the VimMode.spoon repo

Setup

Run this command in your Terminal:

bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dbalatero/mac-vim-mode/master/installer)

If you don't trust the script, please audit it. It should be pretty straight-forward to read, and doesn't require root/sudo.

What the script does:

• Installs Hammerspoon
• Sets up your Hammerspoon config directory
• Clones VimMode.spoon
• Sets up a basic config if it doesn't exist

The script is idempotent, so you can run it again and again without side-effects.

The script is also progressive - it will only setup what is missing. If you already have Hammerspoon, it will skip it. If you already have the VimMode.spoon installed, it won't reinstall it.

Updating your VimMode.spoon version in the future

To update VimMode to the latest code, just use git:

cd ~/.hammerspoon/Spoons/VimMode.spoon && git pull
