XVim2

XVim2 is a Vim plugin for Xcode intending to offer a compelling Vim experience without the need to give up any Xcode features.

Install

  1. Clone the repo:
$ git clone https://github.com/XVimProject/XVim2.git
$ cd XVim2
  1. Confirm xcode-select points to your Xcode:
$ xcode-select -p
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

If this doesn't show your Xcode application path, use xcode-select -s /path/to/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer to set the correct path.

  1. git checkout a branch for your Xcode version. See Branches and Releases section for more information.

  2. make:

$ make
  1. XVim2 support some code injection system to load XVim2 into Xcode.
  1. Create .xvimrc as you need.

Xcode plugin system

NOTE: This method have issue for sign-in to Apple ID via Xcode on Big Sur. #340

  1. Sign Xcode with your own certificate. You can read the instructions for how to do this and if you have questions or concerns about what this means you can read the FAQ on why you need to resign Xcode to use XVim2.

If you see something like the following:

XVim hasn't confirmed the compatibility with your Xcode, Version X.X
Do you want to compile XVim with support Xcode Version X.X at your own risk?

Press y to use XVim with your Xcode version (even if XVim is not confirmed to work with that version of Xcode).

  1. Launch Xcode, where you'll be asked if you want to load XVim. Press 'Yes' to do so. If you press 'No' by mistake, close Xcode and execute the following from a terminal:
defaults delete  com.apple.dt.Xcode DVTPlugInManagerNonApplePlugIns-Xcode-X.X     (X.X is your Xcode version)

Then relaunch Xcode and choose 'Yes' to load XVim.

Bug reports

Unfortunately XVim sometimes crashes Xcode. We are working on eliminating all the bugs, but it's really hard work. All bug reports are appreciated, and they are especially helpful when they include the following information:

  • Crash information. Xcode shows threads stack trace when it crashes. Please copy the stack trace and include it in your report.
  • The operations you performed to cause the crash, e.g. the series of key strokes or mouse clicks you performed.
  • The text you were manipulating.
  • Xcode version.
  • XVim version. The version number of the revision you built.
  • .xvimrc. If you have it.

When it is hard to solve a problem with information above, take debug log according to the following movie please.

How to get XVim debug log

We appreciate if you write test case for the bug. Read "Write test" section in Documents/Developsers/PullRequest.md how to write test case. You do not need to update any source code but just write 7 items explained there in an issue you create.
