[MonoDevelop] Contributing to Monodevelop: ViMode

[Michael Hutchinson]

Hi Ryan,

Contributions to the vi mode would be fantastic. I haven't really had time
to work much on it since I wrote it. I did start a rewrite to correct some
early design decisions that mean that storing state between keystrokes is
ad-hoc and messy but I never finished. All the new code is in git but
unused. And I don't think the rewrite approach was right either, but I'm
still unsure how to do it best...

I assume this pull request is yours? If so, thanks!

I'm sorry I haven't had time to review it yet - the number of commits is a
bit daunting, and it need some coding style cleanup. I'll get round to it,
I promise!

- Michael
