This plugin enhances gedit with basic Vim-style keyboard navigation. This has been tested to work on gedit 3.8 to 3.38.

• normal mode cursor navigation, deletion
• repeating motions
• J and K move up and down by 15 lines
• Ctrl-C exits insert mode (copies selection in other modes)
• visual mode: copy and paste with y and p
• go to line number with <number>G or <number>gg

Copy vim-mode.py and vim-mode.plugin to ~/.local/share/gedit/plugins/ on Unices or C:\Program Files\gedit\lib\gedit\plugins on Windows. This requires PyGObject.

• macros
