EmacsKeys

This project provides Emacs key bindings for Visual Studio users, through a Visual Studio Extension.

History

This capability was available in VS2008, but was removed in VS2010 and VS2012.

Emulation was released as a Visual Studio Extension called the "Emacs Emulation" extension.

Since the extension has not been supported by the Visual Studio Team since 2010, I was able to make the case for the source code to be made available publicly.

This is a copy of the original VS2010 extension source code as provided by the Visual Studio Team, and is the initial check-in of this repository.

Current Plans

A current limitation of the original version, is that it requires the copying of a "vsk" file, into the Visual Studio product folder, which requires running the extension installer as administrator.

To solve this, my next check-in will instead make use of the Visual Studio import/export bindings (vssettings), stored per user, with a specified set of Emacs key bindings, that can then be edited locally according to taste.
