It uses Jim—Its GitHub readme[1] has a list of the features it supports.

I tried a ciw and that didn't work; text objects aren't supported.

No text objects yet: https://github.com/misfo/jim/issues/11

This was the implement-everything-from-Vim-that's-really-annoying-not-to-have release. Text objects are scheduled for the implement-everything-from-Vim-that's-pretty-annoying-not-to-have release.

I noticed text objects, %, `, ctrl-i/o, and ctrl-r missing from my most common set of edit commands. That's actually pretty good since t/f are implemented and you can fake a lot of text objects with those. Also, the underlying ace undo/redo keys do work so you can redo, just not conveniently. It's one of the better stabs at a vim mode I've tried.

One bug I noticed: after a f/t motion you have to hit u twice to undo.

Looks quite useful for people who use vim a lot.

Seems basic vim features work well enough.

Will keep an eye on it for sure.

I don't know what to do with it, but it seems pretty cool.
