Vimsplain is run as a batch job at the command-line. I want to turn keystrokes into plain English descriptions, and Vimsplain by pafcu is a project that does exactly that. Turning English into keystrokes is the opposite of what I want to do. Check out this demo, where the author completes a VimGolf challenge by talking to his computer. (Let me know if I missed any.) VimSpeak by AshleyF turns spoken English into keystrokes. In researching this topic, I’ve come across a few similar projects that have influenced or inspired me. You can watch the video on Vimeo and refer to the slides on speakerdeck. I gave a presentation on Vimprint at this month’s VimLondon meetup. In addition to showing which keystrokes were pressed, I’d like Vimprint to be able to give a bit of extra context: what does each command do, and from which mode was it triggered? Ultimately, I’d like Vimprint to handle all of Vim’s built-in functionality, and for it to be extensible so that it can be made to understand commands supplied by popular plugins such as surround.vim. My goal is to make Vimprint show all Vim keystrokes in realtime, so that I can use it when teaching Vim. It’s not ideal, but it’s better than nothing! I would love to have a dedicated program for visualizing my keystrokes in Vim, so I’ve started building Vimprint to scratch that itch. Keycastr uses Growl-style notifications to show all keystrokes across all applications, including every letter I type while communicating in a chat room, for example. When I run my Core Vim Masterclasses I use Keycastr to show what I’m doing in realtime. The fact is that I add them by hand in post-production.
ALTERNATIVES TO KEYCASTR SOFTWARE
I sometimes get asked what software I use to reveal the Vim keystrokes in my video tutorials here on.
