The accompanying code is intended to provide support for VI-style mode lines in Emacs. The idea is that using this code, you can make your Emacs editor obey the vi-oriented settings your collaborators put in the file, so that when you start working on their project, your code is correctly laid out from the start.
To use this library, just put vimvars.el in a directory on your
load-path and add this to your Emacs init file
(e.g. ~/.emacs.d/init.el, ~/.emacs):
;;; Basic VIM tolerance
(require 'vimvars)
(add-hook 'find-file-hook 'vimvars-obey-vim-modeline)emacs -batch \
-l ert -l vimvars.el -l vimvars-tests.el \
-f ert-run-tests-batch-and-exit
