Ctrl-F 'scroll down full page' conflicts with native find shortcut
Hi,
Would it be possible to implement a setting to change the 'Scroll down full page' Ctrl-F shortcut? It conflicts with the native VSCode 'Find' shortcut. The 'Differences From Vim' section explains why the vim search command was removed,
SimpleVim has no
/(search) command. Instead you can either use thefmotion or the native VSCode find. Between them most of the uses for/are taken care of.
but does not explain why the native shortcut was overwritten. This likely goes against the project's philosophy, in that
SimpleVim prioritizes simplicity and integration with native VSCode features over compatibility with Vim.
We still have the project-wide search (Ctrl-Shift-F) but this isn't practical for searching a single file. I often use Ctrl-F or / to search without using the mouse (pretty much the reason why I like vim) but that doesn't seem to be possible with the extension's current implementation.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this and whether this was an intentional design choice or perhaps an oversight.
Thanks!
This was definitely not intentional and it's because I use a mac so the native find shortcut is Cmd+f which doesn't conflict. I agree that this default should be changed in SimpleVim but I don't have time at the moment. Luckily it's trivial for users to override so you can do that yourself in VSCode's Keyboard Shortcuts screen. Just search for extension.simpleVim.scrollDownPage and change the shortcut to whatever you like.
Aha, makes sense. Thanks for following up!
Hello could you remove the shotcuts ctrl f and ctrl b. Clog for Linux and Windows versions. Besides you can solve it with vim Shift G to go to the end and gg to go to the beginning. And you leave the universal mapping unchanged. Thanks in advance. And by the way your extension is luxurious, for those of us who love vim it helps a lot. The best of both worlds
@necesitod You can remove that shortcut yourself via VSCode's keyboard shortcut settings (see my comment above). I agree that on Linux and Windows it should be changed by default, but I don't have time to do that at the moment because I'm crazy busy. Thanks for the feedback and I'm so glad you're liking the extension! :-)
