vi3

A program to generate vi-style keystrokes for i3 using modes.

Usage

To run the program just run ./vi3 <input-file> <output-file>.

Both input-file and output-file can be substituted with - to use STDIN and STDOUT respectively.

Example

Input file:

exit Escape
exit Ctrl+j
; volume up
v,u exec --no-startup-id pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ +5%
; volume down
v,d exec --no-startup-id pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ -5%
; volume mute
v,m exec exec --no-startup-id pactl set-sink-mute @DEFAULT_SINK@ toggle

Output:

mode "Vim: " {
    bindsym v mode "Vim: v"
    bindsym Escape mode "default"
    bindsym Ctrl+j mode "default"
}
mode "Vim: v" {
    bindsym u exec --no-startup-id pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ +5%; mode "default"
    bindsym d exec --no-startup-id pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ -5%; mode "default"
    bindsym m exec exec --no-startup-id pactl set-sink-mute @DEFAULT_SINK@ toggle; mode "default"
    bindsym Escape mode "default"
    bindsym Ctrl+j mode "default"
}

Building
