Re: ViEmu in Outlook/Word 2007: undo and table behaviour

Hello

1. When you tab from one table cell to another in Word/Outlook, the cell is highlighted as if pressed v on entering the cell. Then when you press h, j, k, or l more text is highlighted. Please do not switch to v mode when moving between cells (or at least allow the option of disabling this behaviour).

2. Sometimes, I've made a change in one part of a document and moved down then made another change. I've wanted to undo the last change but instead both changes were undone when I pressed u. For example, I typed a sentence then hit return and typed another sentence. If I press u, both sentences are removed. Word is more granular if you use CTRL-Z, undoing a word at a time. Please make the default undo behaviour (using u) more granular.

Thanks

Praful

Re: ViEmu in Outlook/Word 2007: undo and table behaviour

Hello Praful,

Apologies for the delay in answering.

Table cell moving behavior: that shouldn't happen. I have just checked it with the latest version, and it doesn't happen here (Windows Vista, Word 2007, ViEmu 2.5.4 for Word&Outlook). How are you moving from one cell to another? The standard methods are j/k and gj/gk, also w and b can move to the next/previous cell. ViEmu definitely doesn't enter visual mode automatically.

Second, undo: ViEmu should detect the movement of the cursor and break the actions. How are you moving from one point to another? That could be the cause.

Regards,

  - Jon

Hi Jon

Unfortunately my trial has expired so I can't check. I was running 2.5.4 at the time. I can't try it now but perhaps I was using tab to move?

I need to recall my evaluation. Perhaps there was enough to buy it!

Re: ViEmu in Outlook/Word 2007: undo and table behaviour

Hi Jon

OK - I've now purchased ViEmu for Outlook/Word 2007. I'm using it in Office
2010.

1. ViEmu switches to selection mode if you use TAB to move between cells. The
standard methods you mentioned (j/k/b/w) work fine.

2. If I type "hello world <CR> goodbye world" where CR = Enter key then I
press ESC then u to undo, all text is removed: both the "hello world" and
"goodbye world". Is that what you'd expect?

Thanks again

Praful
