What is it?

Navigate read-only buffer like vi behavior.

I like Emacs' default keystroke, which is easy to use. I prefer use vi style keystroke if current buffer is read-only that we can quickly navigated with one key press.

Installation

Then put vi-navigate.el to your load-path.

The load-path is usually ~/elisp/.

It's set in your ~/.emacs like this:

(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/elisp"))
(require 'vi-navigate)
(vi-navigate-load-keys)

Usage

vi-navigate-hook-list value is

'(eww-mode-hook
    help-mode-hook
    package-menu-mode-hook
    top-mode-hook
    benchmark-init/tabulated-mode-hook
    benchmark-init/tree-mode-hook
    emms-playlist-mode-hook
    emms-browser-mode-hook
    emms-stream-mode-hook
    apt-utils-mode-hook
    man-mode-hook
    apropos-mode-hook
    less-minor-mode-hook
    info-mode-hook
    doc-view-mode-hook
    w3m-mode-hook
    pdf-view-mode-hook

    )

vi-navigate will load automatically when you load buffer match above hooks.
