vim2vsc

This tool is meant to convert your custom vim bindings from your .vimrc into VSCode compatible bindings. At the time this tool was created, .vimrc is not officially supported by the VScodeVim extension (the most popular vim emulator for VSCode) and there are no known tool that automate the process formatting vim bindings for VSCodeVim.

Usage

vim2vsc

vim2vsc accepts three flags:

• --vimrc Specify the path to your .vimrc installation (guesses path based on system if you don't provide one).
• --settings Specify the path to your settings.json for your VSCode Installation (guesses path based on system if you don't provide one).
• --nobackup If this flag is set, vscode-vim doesn't save your old package.json

before modifying it.

Examples
