# Vim

VSCodeVim is a [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) extension that provides Vim keybindings within Visual Studio Code.

Please do **[report your issues on GitHub](https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim/issues)**. We've added a lot of functionality, but everyone uses Vim in their own special way, so let us know if we're missing your favorite obscure command. :wink:

We're also super friendly people if you want to drop by and talk to us on our [Slack channel](https://vscodevim-slackin.azurewebsites.net)!

## Install

1. Within Visual Studio Code, open the command palette (`Ctrl-Shift-P` / `Cmd-Shift-P`)
2. Select `Install Extension` and search for 'vim' *or* run `ext install vim`

## Configure

Adjust configurations through user settings (File -> Preferences -> User Settings).

* vim.keyboardLayout: 
    * Supported Values: `en-US (QWERTY)` (default), `es-ES (QWERTY)`, `de-DE (QWERTZ)`, `da-DK (QWERTY)`

## F.A.Q.

* How can I bind `jj` to `<esc>`?

1. Open the Command palette (cmd-p on OSX, probably ctrl-shift-p on Windows), and add the following:
   
   ```
      "vim.insertModeKeyBindings": [
           {
               "before": ["j", "j"],
               "after": ["<esc>"]
           }
      ]
   ```

2. If you want to press `jj` in modes which are not Insert Mode and still have it trigger `<esc>`, do the following as well:

   ```
      "vim.otherModesKeyBindings": [
           {
               "before": ["j", "j"],
               "after": ["<esc>"]
           }
      ]
```

3. Restart VSCode!
