Evil
Evil is an extensible vi layer for Emacs. It provides Vim features like Visual selection and text objects, and is the successor to Vimpulse and VimMode vim-mode.
Quick install
Using el-get, Evil can be downloaded and installed with: M-x el-get-install RET evil RET.
Download
Alternatively, Evil lives in a Git repository. To download Evil, do:
git clone git://gitorious.org/evil/evil.git
If you don't have Git, just head over to Gitorious and click the "Download master as tar.gz" link (extract with ##tar -xzf master.tar.gz##).
Install
Move Evil to ~/.emacs.d/evil (or somewhere else in your ##load-path##). Then add the following lines to ~/.emacs:
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/evil") (require 'evil) (evil-mode 1)
Evil requires [UndoTree undo-tree.el] in the load-path for linear undo and undo branches. Otherwise, Evil uses regular Emacs undo.
Documentation
A brief PDF manual is available in the /doc subdirectory.
