How to Vim.defineEx ? about brace HOT 9 CLOSED

please look at this example and it'll show you how you need to require things directly.
Just using ace.require won't work.

from brace.

I did look at that. And my last sentence said require('brace/keybinding/vim') seemed like an empty object.

I just cannot obj.CodeMirror.Vim. Could you please reopen this issue? Or could you please do me a favor to post sample code for the following:

const Vim = ace.require('ace/keyboard/vim').CodeMirror.Vim
Vim.defineEx('write', 'w', (cm, input) => {
  console.log('write')
})

?

Just do it like in the example, it will be an empty object as the require just ensures that the binding file will be part of the bundle so that you can use it as is shown here.

Just use the Vim binding like in the example. Have you tried running the example and does that work for you? WRT code mirror API I don't know. Does that exact code work with ace itself even?

My question is not how to enable Vim mode. Your example already shows how to do that and I did read your example.

I want to customize Vim commands such as :w to save the file. The code does work with ACE. http://stackoverflow.com/a/28084432/862862 I tried it myself and it does work. Problem is I don't know how to write similar code with brace.

Here is a slightly different version written by myself (with ACE): https://github.com/tylingsoft/markdown-plus/blob/master/src/editor.js#L69-L82

ah ok now I understand your problem, sorry for being slow.

I have no idea why this isn't working with brace as it is with ACE. It should.
Maybe we are missing some modules we need to pull in? Or are we still based on a version of ACE that doesn't have that feature?
We'd need to find out what part of ACE enables customizing Vim commands and make sure we pull those files in as well.

I personally have no bandwidth to look into that, but I'm reopening the issue. Hopefully someone can have a look, or if you have time to look into this, I'd greatly appreciate a PR :)

Ran into the same problem myself, the solution is to use ace.acequire rather than ace.require:

    const ace = require("brace")
    const Vim = ace.acequire('ace/keyboard/vim').CodeMirror.Vim

    Vim.defineEx('write', 'w', (cm, input) => {
      console.log('write')
    })

from brace.

This works for me:

const ace = require("brace");
require('brace/keybinding/vim')

const editor = ace.edit("editor");

ace.config.loadModule("ace/keyboard/vim", module => {
  const VimApi = module.CodeMirror.Vim;
  VimApi.defineEx("write", "w", (cm, input) => {
    console.log("write");
  });
});
editor.setKeyboardHandler("ace/keyboard/vim");

@matthijsgroen could you please create a wiki page here so we can collect these tricks and link to them from the readme? Just do Add New Page.
Thanks.

Closing though since the issue is solved
