Vim features which we do not intend to support in Void

This is of course open to discussion.

  • Ex mode (Q)
  • Macro recording (q)
  • Vi-compatibility options

VimL/VimScript features we do not intend to support in VoidScript

VoidScript is intended to be a sane subset of VimL, trying to avoid the pitfall of jamming quick-to-type commands, some casual minor scripting and a serious scripting language into one package, and also trying to avoid the decades of cruft.

It will not support:

  • Digits in identifiers (i.e. the nr2char() function from VimL is not a legal VoidScript name). This is to simplify the tokenizing since commands like :2y2 are legal commands.
  • Comments using the quote mark ". This also makes for parsing hell.
