SilverBullet has a basic Vim mode. You can toggle it using the ${widgets.commandButton("Editor: Toggle Vim Mode")} command.

In addition, it supports various ex commands that you can run as you would expect, for instance: :imap jj <Esc>.

The ^Library/Config page can also be used to define and extend these commands. It supports the following:

• Key unmapping - disable existing keybindings
• Custom mappings - using map and noremap
• Ex command definitions - map custom ex commands to built-in or custom SilverBullet commands

SilverBullet Command bindings take precedence over Vim bindings, you may wish to update or disable some Keyboard Shortcuts or remap the desired functionality in Vim as shown below.

To manually reload the vim section of your ^Library/Config, use the ${widgets.commandButton("Editor: Vim: Load Vim Config")} command.

Configuration

Using Space Lua:

config.set {
  vim = {
    unmap = {
      "<Space>",
      {
        key = "<C-c>",
        mode = "insert",
      },
    },
    map = {
      {
        map = "jj",
        to = "<Esc>",
        mode = "insert",
      },
    },
    noremap = {
      {
        map = "<",
        to = "<gv",
        mode = "visual",
      },
      {
        map = "<Space>ff",
        to = ":findfile<CR>",
        mode = "normal",
      },
      {
        map = "<Space>rc",
        to = ":runcommand<CR>",
        mode = "normal",
      },
    },
    commands = {
      {
        command = "Navigate: Page Picker",
        ex = "findfile",
      },
      {
        command = "Open Command Palette",
        ex = "runcommand",
      },
    }
  }
}
