I guess I'm mostly asking after subjective experience, but I think the things I would rate most important would be (in no particular order): 1) key bindings I use match vim, 2) easy to create new key bindings, and 3) quickfix buffer. I would be most surprised if 2 was missing. 1 is typically underpopulated but could be grown... anyone know about 3?
For 1 you'd probably have to try-and-see but I think we have a pretty good coverage. For 2, I think the biggest hurdle is lack of documentation on how to create the keybindings. AFAIK at the moment everyone gets by through looking at other people's configs but I think we should properly document what the different combinators do. I might attempt this tonight. Regarding quickfix, I have only learned about it recently. I believe it's like a compilation buffer in emacs. I do see Compilation mode in the source but I admit have never tried it out. I think none of the commands that quickfix provides are offered either. A big problem with implementing such modes properly is that currently we have no way to run actions affecting Yi concurrently which means that Yi would ‘lock up’ during compilation. Hopefully we can solve this in near future but until then, I don't think it's very viable to start implementing it. -- Mateusz K.
