What is the status of Vim keybindings in MonoDevelop?

Question

There seems to be a lot of conflicting information regarding Vim keybindings in MonoDevelop. Does anyone know whether this feature is available or what the current status is? I know there was progress being made at some point.

Answer 1

The basics work pretty well. It currently supports the following modes: Normal, Visual, Visual Line, Insert, Overwrite. In those modes, most of "single-key" commands are supported, and some slightly more complex commands work too, such as searching and marks.

The major limitation right now is that it does not support multi-character text operators and text objects. I started implementing support for that a while back but it isn't finished yet. Assistance would be welcome.
