this is a two-parter.

I am a longtime vi/vim user trying out phpstorm 10. i have the ideavim plugin installed and, generally speaking, it's the best vim emulator i've seen to date. however, there are two issues that i would love to get solutions for.

1. consistent shell escape behaviour

shell escaping works sometimes and totally fails other times. for instance:

:10,20!sort

sorts all the lines between 10 and 20 as expected. however:

:10,20!awk '{print $2}'

just throws the lines away... is there a way to fix this? i'm very attached to shell escapes.

2. ctrl-n and ctrl-p completion

this question was asked previously here, but the answer was wholly unsatisfying (basically "just do something totally different").

i have gone to file->settings->'other settings'->'vim emulation' and set the 'ctrl-N' and 'ctrl-P' handlers to 'vim'... but it does nothing. indeed, ctrl-p and ctrl-n seem completely disabled.

for reference, I am looking for this to behave in a vim-like way if at all possible, ie complete words found in the buffer. for instance:

// foobar
foo^p

to get 'foobar'.

is this possible? if so, how?

  1. This is a bug in the implementation of :!, feel free to create an issue in the bug tracker.

  2. IdeaVim supports <C-N> and <C-P> only in the normal mode. You can use PhpStorms' actions for Cyclic Expand Word completion and assign Ctrl+P and Ctrl+N as shortcuts for them (make sure that these shortcuts are handled by the IDE, not the Vim emulation).
