Thanks for a response. I just installed it and do think that it is missing a few features that are important to me (as in, these are my opinions):

1. Syntax (missing for Elixir)

2. Shortcuts (even preferences shortcut is missing)

3. Easier configuration API; I think currently, you give us the "entire React app", rather get something simple.

I have the application downloaded; assuming you have autoupdates. I will keep an eye out; excited to see where this goes.

For 1, there's https://github.com/elixir-editors/vim-elixir.

Is that compatible with the editor OP is talking about? To clarify, that’s what above feedback was for. I don’t understand why people downvote comments without even knowing the context of the conversation.

I did not downvote you but here are some possible reasons:

1. If you're coming from regular vim you should expect having to bundle syntax files for languages that aren't hugely popular.

2. Shortcuts on a vim frontend should be pretty self-evident for a regular vim user. And some reading on the documentation as well until the 1.0 release.

3. This is a good point, but you did not clarify your point well as I assume you meant discoverability and ease-of-use of configuration.

Still, I think it's valuable feedback and actually captures some issues that are being worked now:

1. People coming from IDEs expect everything to work out-of-box and perhaps in the future some plugins will be bundled by default (configurable to not be the case for veteran users).

2. Recently a lot of features out of regular vim were added such as markdown preview, browser tab, file explorer and sneak mode; which have particular keybindings. For the moment they should be visible when you run the 'Quick Open' menu (`<c-p>`) but seems like there should be another way to discover these. An issue will be opened for this case.

3. Discoverability of options and configuration UI is a current issue indeed and there are plans to improve it (https://github.com/onivim/oni/issues/976).

I hope the downvotes do not discourage you from giving further feedback as it's best when given sincerely, issues are very welcome, thanks!

Yes, Oni is just an alternate frontend for vim and is compatible with Vim plugins (instructions here: https://github.com/onivim/oni/wiki/Plugins#installing-a-vim-...). I don't think there was anything wrong with your comment that merited downvotes.
