With Vimpressionist, you will have Vim-optimized key bindings and the same look & feel everywhere thanks to the Archery colorscheme.

Universal key mappings

These basic Vim mappings are often used:

key	action
h	Go left
j	Go down
k	Go up
l	Go right
gg	Jump to beginning
G	Jump to end
w	Save
d	Delete
q or ZZ	Quit
:	Enter command mode
!	Use shell
/	Search forward
?	Search backward or help
CTRL-L	Refresh
CTRL-E	Scroll one line down
CTRL-Y	Scroll one line up
CTRL-D	Scroll half page down
CTRL-U	Scroll half page up
CTRL-F	Scroll one page down
CTRL-B	Scroll one page up
CTRL-O	Go back
CTRL-I	Go forth

Key mappings defined in Vimpressionist have been carefully optimized to be Vim-like as much as possible. You can try to guess them while using an application, but you can of course refer to the appropriate configuration file directly.

vimpressionist's Issues

what about Ranger as the file manager?

Hi,
This is a great list 👍 ,
but have you checked ranger as the file manager (instead of vifm)?

Qutebrowser?

I've found that qutebrowser integrates beautifully with the Vim workflow. Why not feature it here?
