Vim: ctrl+b in insert mode should toggle sidebar

[MaxTan]

vscode shortcuts is not working after update

• VSCode Version:1.3.0
• VsCodeVim Version: 0.1.1
• OS: Windows 10 Professional

Same here, both Windows 10 and 7.

This seems similar to this discussion: https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim/issues/416

What do you expect to happen when you use ctrl+f and ctrl+b?

We've overridden these shortcuts to map them to the Vim way of doing things which is ctrl+f = downward scroll and ctrl+b = scroll upward

[ericmdantas]

Seems reasonable.

But the problem, at least for me, is that it doesn't work even when on "Insert mode".

And one of the downfalls of using "/" instead of "ctrl + f", please correct me if I'm wrong, is that I don't get to search fo the next/previous elements using "n/N".

Of course you can use n/N. What kind of Vim extension would this be without them?!? 😀

[ericmdantas]

Well, doesn't work for me :cry:

[johnfn]

What are your keystrokes?

/abc<enter>nnn works fine over here.

[ericmdantas]

Oh well, probably I've been forgetting about "enter" this whole time :confused: :laughing:

[johnfn]

😉 no worries!

[ericmdantas]

So, for me, only the "ctrl + b" is a bit annoying after the update.

[johnfn]

What are you expecting when you press ctrl+b? In which mode? And what happens instead?

[ericmdantas]

I'm expecting that, when in "insert mode", the side bar toggles - but nothing happens.

[johnfn]

Yeah, that sounds valid as it's not an insert mode binding! On the TODO list. :)

[johnfn]

Done!

Good news for you guys, @MaxTan, @ericmdantas and anyone else - I've decided to disable ctrl+f by default, and enable it with a setting you can set in settings.json. Search away! (though really you should use / 😉 😉 )
