What about the "Native Vim Support" listed on the homepage? I can't find any more info on that. Has anyone tried it?

I tried some basic motions and the editor crashed

Could you elaborate on this? I use TKE in Vim mode every day and haven't run into issues with supported Vim motions. What motions did you try doing? Tcl/Tk is usually pretty difficult to crash.

I tried it again just now.

1. Opened TKE

2. Changed to insert mode

3. Typed some random characters

4. Pressed ESC

5. Press b

TKE crashed

I'm on Windows 10, recently fresh install.

I recall that there was an issue in Tk in regards to the wordstart/wordend index adjectives (which the 'b' command uses); however, I thought that was an issue with 8.5 version of Tk. What version of Tcl/Tk are you using? If you go to the About window within TKE, it will show which version is being used.

Never mind. I get the same problem with the version that comes with the bundled version of TKE. I appreciate the information!

Happy to help
