このTipsの目的は、Emacsをvim-likeに使うことではなくて、ファイルの閲覧をview-modeで扱うときの利便性を高めることです。emacsをvimのように使うというようなTipsも多いですが、そんなことをするくらいならvimを使えばいいからです。

私は、emacsとvimとの両刀使いです。基本はemacsですが、dotfileやmakefileを扱うときは、vimを使うことが多いです。

hydraで対話式にコマンドを使えるようにする

view-modeのkey-mapを覚えてしまえば必要ないのですが、ボケ始めた頭が混乱することもあるので、「.」を押すだけでhydraメニューがpopupします。

hydraを使ったミニバッファーメニューは、"nil" を渡すまで永続的に残りますが、:exit t オプションをつけることで、目的のキーをセレクトした瞬間にメニューが消えるので便利です。

view-mode 用のkey定義ファイル

今後の方向性を考える

view-modeでvimのコマンドを使えるようにすることを目標に工夫してきましたが、emacs自身の設定で便利に使える機能まであえてvim-likeにする必要はないと思います。

例えば、カーソル移動の機能、「行頭、行末、ページの先頭、ページの最後」は、sequeqtial-command というパッケージを導入していて使い慣れているのでview-modeの機能からは省いてもいいかなと思っています。

;; sequential-command
(use-package sequential-command-config)
(sequential-command-setup-keys)

C-aを連続で打つことで行の先頭→ページの先頭→元の位置とカーソルが移動する。
C-eを連続で打つことで行の最後→ページの最後→元の位置とカーソルが移動する。

また、view-modeから抜けないで削除やyank&pasteする機能もあれば便利かも知れませんが、いろんな削除パターンから編集モードへ移行するコマンド群は不要だと思います。そんなコマンドを覚えるくらいなら、編集モードへ抜けてから自由にすればいいからです。
