This seems very simple, but I wonder how to turn off viper-mode once I turn it on with M-x viper-mode. I tried (setq viper-mode nil) but this did not do it.

Vim macros don't work when using viper + vimpulse in Emacs

Any other tweaks for making emacs as vim-like as possible would be appreciated as well. Addendum: The main reason I don't just use vim is that I love how emacs lets you open a file in two different frames [ADDED: sorry, this was confusing: I mean…

viper-next-line, viper-previous-line has trouble with visual-line-mode?

Anyone else have any trouble with j and k in viper-mode when visual-line-mode is enabled? It skips many lines... is there any harm in re-binding them to next-line and previous-line, which recognizes visual "line breaks" in Emacs > version 23?
