Since Emacs 19.29, the preferred @code{vi} emulation in Emacs is VIPER
|
||||
(@kbd{M-x viper-mode @key{RET}}), which comes with Emacs. It extends
|
||||
and supersedes VIP (including VIP 4.3) and provides @code{vi} emulation
|
||||
at several levels, from one that closely follows @code{vi} to one that
|
||||
departs from @code{vi} in several significant ways.
|
||||
|
||||
For Emacs 19.28 and earlier, the following version of VIP is generally
|
||||
better than the one distributed with Emacs:
