Continued here: https://github.com/Houl/conomode-vim (2017 Aug 06) Implements a kind of Normal mode ( "Cmdline-Normal mode" ) on top of the Command line.  Purpose is similar to the cmdline-window (q:), but navigation and editing can be done in-place.  Of course the cmdline-window is much more powerful. Conomode does not replace Vim's native emacs-style command line editing, it just adds one key: CTRL-O (see below). - enter with c_<C-O>   (press CTRL-O while in Command-line mode) - mode indicator is a colon ":", moved along with the cursor, hiding the char under it - quit to Cmdline-mode with I, i, a, A, : or any unmapped key (which then executes or inserts itself), or wait 60 seconds. - quit to Normal mode with Esc Features So Far: - Motions: h l w b e W B E 0 ^ $ f{char} F{char} t{char} T{char} ; , %    also in Operator pending mode - Operators: d y c    these write to the unnamed register; c prompts for input() - Shortcuts: yy dd D x X s C    yy -> y_, dd -> d_, D -> d$, x -> dl, X -> dh, s -> cl, C -> c$ - Simple Changes: ~ r{char} - Putting: P p     put the unnamed register - Repeating: .     repeatable commands: d r c ~ o   also: I i a A - Macros: q @      q starts[/stops] recording, @ executes, no register involved - Mode Switching:  I i a A - back to Cmdline (with positioned cursor),  <Esc> - back to Normal mode, <CR> - execute Cmdline, : - back to Cmdline (remove all text) - Insert: o        input() version of i (accepts a count and is recordable) - Undo: u U        redo with "U" (to keep c_CTRL-R working); undo information survives mode switching (!); undo is yet unlimited - Count: can be given for most commands - Misc: <C-L> - redraw the Cmdline Notes: - the mode indicator makes UTF-8 characters look garbled - it's only a display problem; press Ctrl-L to redraw the Cmdline; I'd rather not use conomode with UTF-8, sorry ... Feedback is welcome (bugs, usage improvements, does it feel like vi?, etc.) Have fun! 2012 Apr 14

install details

:source conomode.vim Can be used as a plugin. Note: Vim7.3 is recommended, older Vims are likely to crash due to a bug in getcmdline() The plugin defines a lot of mappings for Cmdline-mode, but these are local to the script -- so except for <C-O>, there cannot be a conflict with other mappings. Hint: to autoload the plugin when pressing <C-O> the first time, you can create a "macros" folder, put the script file there and add the following code to your vimrc: " vimrc: cmap <C-O> <C-R>=<sid>LoadConoMode()<CR><C-O> func! <sid>LoadConoMode()     cunmap <C-O>     verbose runtime macros/conomode.vim     redraw     return "" endfunc 2012 Apr 14
