Is there a vim mode available for `iex`

Is there a vim mode available for iex? That is, something like set -o vi in bash.

Here's my version info: IEx 1.13.0 (compiled with Erlang/OTP 24)

I'm running it on Linux Mint 20.2 Uma.

Solution

  • No, iex doesn't have vim mode.

    However, if you're a vim user, I can recommend you check out neovim. It has a built-in terminal emulator which might solve some of your needs. You could always spin it up and run iex within allowing you to more or less navigate the terminal through vim.
