As a vim user, how do I get used to Xcode?

Question

I have been a Vim user for most of my life. I have been using Emacs with viper / vimpulse for several years now. What is the best way to break my Vi habit and achieve a reasonable level of performance with Xcode 4 on OS X Lion? I do not want to use an external editor, since I would rather dive into Xcode completely.

Answer 1

UPDATE . I have used the xVim plugin in the last four months and, despite a couple of errors, I consider this the best solution at the moment.

I ran into this dilemma in the last month, and my recent solution was KeyRemap4MacBook (which gives you a decent amount of Vi-keys in system-wide mode and works on Lion).

This is in no way the optimal solution. I am still 60% useful in Xcode since I am in Vim, but it is a way to stay in Xcode and have some of the Vi functions. Here's a link to a recent blog post with a picture of my KeyRemap4MacBook settings .

In addition, I studied command line scripts for creating and running projects (this way I could skip Xcode and stay with Vi and the terminal - although it seems like you're trying to avoid this). I did not find anything extraordinary, but I’m sure that if we can handle it, then someone will find an acceptable solution.
