9.1 General configuration

You can control which keys are used, and which other facilities are turned on, by giving some symbols as arguments to versor-setup.

The arguments can be any (combination) of

arrows

for the main cursor keys

arrows-misc

for insert, delete etc

keypad

for the keypad cursor keys

keypad-misc

for keypad insert, delete etc

meta

to make <Meta> and whichever arrow keys you have selected do the movement between dimensions; this is good if you have modifier pedals to extend your keyboard, but is likely not to work with console input, so may only be usable if you're using a window system such as X

ctrl-x

to make C-x and whichever arrow keys you have selected do the movement between dimensions; this is the default, as it works OK on consoles as well as with window managers

to select which keys are set up to do Versor commands.

You can turn on further facilities by including the following symbols amongst the arguments:

modal

remember a different dimension for each mode

local

remember a different dimension for each buffer

text-in-code

switch dimensions for string literals and comments, allowing code-oriented movement in actual code, and text-oriented movement in embedded natural language text

menu

define a menu of Versor commands

verbose

rabbit on endlessly about what it is doing

The recommended default setup is:

     (versor-setup 'arrows 'arrows-misc 'modal 'text-in-code 'menu)

You may then want to customize it further, like this:

       ;; preset the dimensions for some modes
       (setq versor-mode-current-levels
     	    (mapcar 'versor-mode-levels-triplet
     		    '(
     		      (emacs-lisp-mode "structural" "exprs")
     		      (lisp-interaction-mode "structural" "exprs")
     		      (c-mode "program" "statement-parts")
     		      (text-mode "cartesian" "lines")
     		      (html-helper-mode "text" "words")
     		      )))
