In Some Thoughts on Emacs and Vim, Shinobu recommendation to remap <space> and <backspace> doesn't work on Emacs 2.3.1 with Vimpulse 0.5.
What am I doing wrong?
;; from .emacs
; simulate vim's "nnoremap <space> 10<c-e>10j"
(vimpulse-map " " (lambda ()
(interactive)
(next-line 10)
(viper-scroll-up-one 10)
))
; simulate vim's "nnoremap <backspace> 10<c-y>10k"
(define-key viper-vi-global-user-map [backspace] (lambda ()
(interactive)
(previous-line 10)
(viper-scroll-down-one 10)
))
It'd help to know what isn't working.
The following works for me, as in SPC and backspace scroll by 10 when in command mode (Vi state):
(define-key viper-vi-global-user-map [backspace]
(lambda ()
(interactive)
(previous-line 10)
(viper-scroll-down-one 10)))
(define-key viper-vi-global-user-map (kbd "SPC")
(lambda ()
(interactive)
(next-line 10)
(viper-scroll-up-one 10)))
That's using vimpulse.el version 0.5 and viper-expert-level 5.
