@mandre added toggling ( #7 ), but documentation does not reflect improvement.

Hey @wikitopian,

fortunately my friend @johannestroeger pointed me to you hardmode project. Whilst i'm using Vim for about 3-4 years know (and of course, I'm still not an expert), I wonder which ways one would have to navigate when h, j, k and l is disabled.

I can imagine that one could navigate with things like f, F, t, T and maybe also with / or ?, but this wouldn't be enough I think.

So my question is, what do you use for navigation when hardmode is on?

This plugin is way too easy, anything "harder"?

A potential replacement for this project is all around better with a cleaner API, vim-hardtime. I think we should be redirecting users there.

Seems as if there are three pull requests and multiple issues without any comments from @wikitopian? Is this project still alive? If so, can those issues get feed back? If not, can we look at making @gkirilov admin so he can take it over: 2/3 of the patches are his.

@xeross has made enough critical contributions to earn co-authorship status.

@dsanson added a useful "beginner mode" for wannabes who aren't hardcore enough for hard mode.

Now we'll need to add an "extreme" mode!

Howdy,

In hardmode, I would like to delete from after the cursor until the next word starts, but I can't seem to find a nice way.

If I have:

PARAMETER : value

and I want to remove the space between the PARAMETER and the :

to yield:

PARAMETER: value

Currently, I'm doing a w to jump to the :, then dTR does the job, but it seems like it should be possible to achieve the same effect without jumping past where I want to go and deleting backwards. Anyone have any ideas?

This might be a good candidate for #22 :)

It's kinda impossible using NERDTree, tagbar, and :help windows with hardmode. I suggest several solutions:

1. Disable them on these sepcific windows?
2. Add an option to disable in specific window names.
3. Disable in Read-Only windows.

Wuddya say?

I think the enter key should also be disabled, because it allows you to go down one line in normal mode in the same way like the "+" key.

Hey,

I'm not sure if it's just me.
I have the following:

nnoremap K 0
nnoremap H 0
nnoremap L $

L and K work fine, while H does not.

Same if i set ^ instead of 0.

It would be great to provide an option to disable messages.

There is a problem when i'm using Shougo/neocomplete.vim
i can't delete the previous letter when neocomplete menu/snippets is toggle.

EDIT

My bad, i can't do any backspace in editor mode or just what i'have been writing after the last normal mode.

Is it normal ?

Hello, so far so good trying the HardMode, but the only thing that I think should be allowed is jumping N lines from the cursor position, eg. 10j to move 10 lines bellow, of course I know (and I tend to use) Ngg or NG where N is the fixed number line. Is there a way to add this to the plugin? maybe checking if j or k are preceded with a number?

Thanks

teimu on r/vim and others have noted that these keys can be constructively integrated into intelligent motion commands, such as v5jd to delete five lines down and so on.

Is there a graceful way to allow for j but disallow jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj ?

And should that be a separate mode or an enhancement to hard mode? I'm kind of favoring the latter?

If you activate hardmode then open a new file, the new file uses the hjkl keybindings rather than honouring hardmode. If you ctrl-o back to the previous file, hardmode is still active. Is it possible to have hardmode persist for the session rather than per buffer? I'd submit a patch for this but my VimScript foo is weak!

As this is intended to be educational, it might be beneficial for each attempt to use anti-patterns to flash a randomly selected pro-tip for smart navigation.

Drawbacks are, of course, that doing so could bloat the codebase. I'm thinking a smarter way to go about this would be to create a separate pro-tips project and have this script intelligently cooperate with it if it's installed.
