Resharper inline rename function does not accept vsvim keystrokes

[jrpetit]

Visual Studio 2022

When I invoke the Resharper.Rename on a local function variable, rather than showing the dialogue that always worked, it switches to an inline editor that does not allow any vim keystrokes. This inline editor used to accept vsvim keystrokes somewhat, but recently has completely stopped working for me.

Is this a bug?
Is there something to configure to make it work?
Is there a way to just always show the rename dialogue?

Thank you for any replies.

Hi, I'm not too sure, I've used Rider almost exclusively for many years now which has fantastic Vim support via Jetbrains Vim emulation plugin.

Thanks for the reply. As I happen to have a Rider license, I have elected to resolve my editing problems there.

Visual Studio 2022 will now get relegated to just a being debugger. I'm not moving away from vim just for Microsoft.

The years of vsvim in Visual Studio have been amazing and the only reason I could tolerate editing in Visual Studio.

cool, this was my motivation initially.

Not sure if you are new to Riders Vim plugin, but FYI, this is what I have configured in Riders .ideavimrc ( which I put on my dropbox drive and source it from the default .ideavimrc)

I also have the plugins (vim related )

IdeaVim (of course) Which-Key IdeaVim-Sneak IdeaVim-EasyModtion and AceJump ( which have to go together, I actually don't use it a lot... )
