Re: noob Q: Why does ViEmu beep when I press esc in insert mode?

I'm only just getting to grips with Vi, Vim, and ViEmu so please excuse me if this is a simple question.

When I hit <esc> in INSERT mode, ViEmu puts me back into NORMAL mode as expected, but it beeps as if there's an error. This is pretty annoying - especially when playing back macros. I don't want to set ViEmu to be silent because I *do* want beeps when there is geniunely something going wrong.

What can I do to determine why ViEmu is beeping?

It's weird... ViEmu should only beep if you are already in normal mode... what VS and ViEmu version are you using? Any other 3rd party add-ins? I would try it on a plain text file too, to make sure it's not due to some language service or support.

Hi Jon,

Thanks for getting back so quickly.

I tried it with a plain txt file and still get beeps so it's probably not a language service issue.

I copied the contents of my About dialog below (minus some irrelevant pieces). I hope that tells you what you need to know.


Cheers,
Damian.

Re: noob Q: Why does ViEmu beep when I press esc in insert mode?

Hi, Damian

I think the culprit here is our VAXesc option, which we now apply to ReSharper too. Can you set the option off ( :set novaxesc ) and see if the beep is gone? If you confirm that, we'll fix this bug, since as Jon said it should only beep when you are in normal mode.

I removed the beep by disabling the Default Beep in system sounds.

Hi Isaac,

That works a treat. Thanks very much.

How do I make it persistent? I tried adding "set novaxesc" to the top of my .vimrc (C:\Users\Damian\.vimrc) but it didn't seem to have any effect.


Cheers,
Damian.

Re: noob Q: Why does ViEmu beep when I press esc in insert mode?

Hi Isaac,

Never mind, I found my answer in another forum post: _viemurc (or .viemurc) rather than [._]vimrc.


Thanks again,
Damian.

Thanks for the feedback, Damian. The next ViEmu release will have this fixed so that you don't need to disable the VAXEsc option.

Re: noob Q: Why does ViEmu beep when I press esc in insert mode?

Hi Isaac,

I recently paved my machine and decided to try ViEmu again (still not sure about Vim key bindings!). I noticed that ViEmu has been updated since I last tried it, but this issue still persists.


TTFN,
Damian.
