If you use a "Rename" type refactoring, the plug-in for DXCore does not remember whether you were in Insert or Normal mode before you started.  I think it should automatically switch back when the user finishes the refactoring, if this is possible.  Saves a keystroke.  Right now, ViEmu stays in Insert and you have to hit Escape to move along.

Im trying to write my own plugin for DXCore and CodeRush to integrate with vi emu

I know that there is such an iterface fo ViEmu service

[InterfaceType(ComInterfaceType.InterfaceIsIUnknown), Guid("AF8F75A1-A458-4F1F-BFAE-3B1B0E27D97A")]
internal interface IViEmu
{
    void EnterInsertMode();
}

Is there any method for entering normal mode and some property or method which tells what is actual mode ?

Hi Rod,

I've implemented a new service and built and uploaded 2.1.19:

  http://www.viemu.com/ViEmuVS-2.1.19.msi

You need to manually uninstall the previous version before installing this one. This is the spec of the new service:

[InterfaceType(ComInterfaceType.InterfaceIsIUnknown), Guid("C93926D3-533A-47BD-A085-DDA86F19D8EC")]
internal interface IViEmuService2
{
    void EnterInsertMode();
    void EnterNormalMode();
    int   GetViMode();
};

Actually - internally - these are the C++ interfaces of the functions - I'm letting you know in case the last one is not 'converted' to a C#-interface as described above:

MIDL_INTERFACE("C93926D3-533A-47bd-A085-DDA86F19D8EC")
IViEmuService2 : public IUnknown
{
  public:
    virtual HRESULT STDMETHODCALLTYPE EnterInsertMode( ) = 0;
    virtual HRESULT STDMETHODCALLTYPE EnterNormalMode () = 0;
    virtual HRESULT STDMETHODCALLTYPE GetViMode (long *pResult) = 0;
};

The ServiceID is the same, only the IID changes to the new GUID shown above.

Let me know if it works fine for you or in case you need anything else.

Regards,

  Jon

Hi Rod,

Thank you very much! I will have a look at this, as I review compatibility issues over the next few days. I want to fix the crash-bug described above asap, most likely over the next couple of days.

I will try to prepare a solution with everything together and post it on the compatibility page (and here).

Best regards and happy holidays!

I'm glad I would help. Anyway ... there are also some issues with selection in CodeRush but I will have to figure them out precisely.

It would be nice if you coluld add to an interface EnterVisualMode() method and possibility that GetViMode() method could also return if ViEmu is in visual mode.

Hello Ted and everyone else,

Apologies for taking some time to solve this - it's been a pretty stressing few days (!) of tracing through Visual Studio to understand the problem and find the workaround.

I have built & uploaded a new version of ViEmu/VS which uses a different method for 'undo' and thus works around the crash that arises with Coderush's 'Safe rename' (and possibly other refactorings). I also detected that this not only happened with VS 2008, but also with VS 2005.

Here is the link to download it:

  http://www.viemu.com/ViEmuVS-2.1.20.msi

You need to manually uninstall the previous version of ViEmu before installing this one.

For the 'smart parentheses' problem, please let me know if the plug-in kindly provided by Rod above is enough. In any case, I will be preparing a new version of the plugin in the official ViEmu compatibility page in the next few days.

Thanks, best regards, and happy new year everyone!!

  Jon
