XVim2

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

INSTALL

  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.

  2. Clone the repo.

$ git clone https://github.com/XVimProject/XVim2.git
  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 to set.

  1. Check out a branch for your Xcode version. See Branches and Releases section for more information.

  2. make

$ cd XVim2
$ make

If you see something like

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 if you want to use XVim with your Xcode version (even it is not confirmed it works)

  1. Create .xvimrc as you need.

  2. Launch Xcode. You'll be asked if you load XVim. Press 'Yes' to it. If you press 'No' by mistake, close the Xcode and execute the following from a terminal

defaults delete  com.apple.dt.Xcode DVTPlugInManagerNonApplePlugIns-Xcode-X.X     (X.X is your Xcode version)
  1. Relaunch Xcode.

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.

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.
