Please see http://kate-editor.org/kate-vi-mode/ for an updated overview of the Kate VI mode project.

I just marked the Vi input mode (“V.I.M.”? :) ) for the Kate kpart as done in the feature plan for KDE 4.2. It feels a bit weird to mark it as done, though, as there are tonnes of things I want to implement after KDE 4.2.

As you may know this started as a Google Summer of Code project and I’m quite happy with the way things have turned out. Since we are in feature freeze I would like to present the features that will be in the Vi input mode for the Kate part in KDE 4.2.
