Implements a kind of Normal mode ( "Cmdline-Normal mode" ) on top of the Command line. Purpose is similar to the cmdline-window (q:), but navigation and editing can be done in-place. Of course the cmdline-window is much more powerful.
Conomode does not replace Vim's native emacs-style command line editing, it just adds one key: CTRL-O (see below).
- enter with c_<C-O> (press CTRL-O while in Command-line mode)
- mode indicator is a colon ":", moved along with the cursor, hiding the char under it
- quit to Cmdline-mode with I, i, a, A, : or any unmapped key (which then executes or inserts itself), or wait 60 seconds.
- quit to Normal mode with Esc
Features So Far:
- Motions: h l w b e W B E 0 ^ $ f{char} F{char} t{char} T{char} ; , % also in Operator pending mode
- Operators: d y c these write to the unnamed register; c prompts for input()
- Shortcuts: yy dd D x X s C yy -> y_, dd -> d_, D -> d$, x -> dl, X -> dh, s -> cl, C -> c$
- Simple Changes: ~ r{char}
- Putting: P p put the unnamed register
- Repeating: . repeatable commands: d r c ~ o also: I i a A
- Macros: q @ q starts[/stops] recording, @ executes, no register involved
- Mode Switching: I i a A - back to Cmdline (with positioned cursor), <Esc> - back to Normal mode, <CR> - execute Cmdline, : - back to Cmdline (remove all text)
- Insert: o input() version of i (accepts a count and is recordable)
- Undo: u U redo with "U" (to keep c_CTRL-R working); undo information survives mode switching (!); undo is yet unlimited
- Count: can be given for most commands
- Misc: <C-L> - redraw the Cmdline
Notes:
- the mode indicator makes UTF-8 characters look garbled - it's only a display problem; press Ctrl-L to redraw the Cmdline; I'd rather not use conomode with UTF-8, sorry ...
Feedback is welcome (bugs, usage improvements, does it feel like vi?, etc.)
Have fun!

install details |
:source conomode.vim
Can be used as a plugin.
Note: Vim7.3 is recommended, older Vims are likely to crash due to a bug in getcmdline()
The plugin defines a lot of mappings for Cmdline-mode, but these are local to the script -- so except for <C-O>, there cannot be a conflict with other mappings.
Hint:
to autoload the plugin when pressing <C-O> the first time, you can create a "macros" folder, put the script file there and add the following code to your vimrc:
" vimrc:
cmap <C-O> <C-R>=<sid>LoadConoMode()<CR><C-O>
func! <sid>LoadConoMode()
cunmap <C-O>
verbose runtime macros/conomode.vim
redraw
return ""
endfunc
