XVim is a Vim plugin for Xcode. The plugin intends to offer a compelling Vim experience without the need to give up any Xcode features.

Announcement

Support Xcode Versions

INSTALL

Xcode 8 Users, Follow instructions in INSTALL_Xcode8.md first.

Download source code or clone the repo. Then,

  1. Confirm xcode-select points to your Xcode
$ xcode-select -p
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

If this doesn't show your Xcode application path, use xcode-select -s to set.

  1. make
$ make

If you see something like

XVim hasn't confirmed the compatibility with your Xcode, Version X.X
Do you want to compile XVim with support Xcode Version X.X at your own risk? 

Press y if you want to use XVim with your Xcode version (even it is not confirmed it works)

  1. Create .xvimrc as you need and restart your Xcode.

  2. Launch Xcode. You'll be asked if you load XVim. Press 'Yes' to it. If you press 'No' by mistake, close the Xcode and execute the following from a terminal

```
defaults delete  com.apple.dt.Xcode DVTPlugInManagerNonApplePlugIns-Xcode-X.X     (X.X is your Xcode version)
```

 Then relaunch Xcode.

Branches and Releases

XVim has several branches and releases. Usually you only need to download one of 'releases' and use it. Here is an explanation about each release and branch.

Any other branches are temporary branches to develop features or bug fixes which will be merged into 'develop' branch after all. Any pull requests should be made to 'develop' branch.
