Vim: Is there any way to remap the easymotion keys?

[edasaki]

In vim I have the "Search Character" set to just s since I never really use the actual s in insert mode.

Is it possible to change the binding in vscodevim? I use the search a lot but pressing the leader twice is a bit tiring sometimes.

And kind of vaguely related, is it possible to change the red/orange font colors? I want to keep the black background but the red/orange is a bit hard to read for me.

It sounds like you're talking about theming VSCode, which is totally separate from VSCodeVim! Check here https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/themes

Oh sorry I realized that totally wasn't clear haha.

I was talking about the popups from the easymotion plugin

Is that also handled by VSCode themes? Since it seems like it's something that would be decided by vscodevim

[johnfn]

OHH, those themes! My bad! Yeah huh.. those should probably be re-themeable, sure.

To be honest, the unfortunate truth about extensions (e.g. EasyMotion) is that they're mostly community supported, as it's just too much effort for me to maintain both Vim and an extension ecosystem. You _may_ be able to convince @xconverge if you ask really nicely, but that guy is pretty busy too haha. :P

@edasaki we DO allow you to change the color

from here https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim#how-to-use-easymotion

"If you set vim.easymotionChangeBackgroundColor to true you can use the searchHightlightColor as the background color for the text decorations, however you then lose the red/orange indicators on whether it is a one key or two key combination since the font color needs to stay readable."

[xconverge]

I analyze the colors and then set the font to either white or black based on the search highlight color you use

{
        "vim.otherModesKeyBindingsNonRecursive": [
        {
            "before": ["s"],
            "after": ["leader", "leader", "s"]
        }]
}

Thank you so much @FelikZ , that worked!

And thank you too @xconverge! That's fine for me

There is 1 related bug that is somewhat funny though :) #1426, feel free to thumbs up it if it impacts you

Thanks

Test this code.

"vim.normalModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive": [
    {
        "before": ["s"],
        "after": ["leader", "leader", "s"]
    }
]

What would the binding syntax be if you want to search by two chars?

<leader><leader> 2s <char><char>

"vim.normalModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive": [
    {
        "before": ["f"],
        "after": ["leader", "leader", "2", "s"]
    }
]
