Hi @digiwizkid , thanks for the report!

You need to specify a file at in order to start it. This error handling needs a lot of work. I will handle this asap.

Hi @kristianpaul,

Your error is due to the fact that at the moment the keyboard configuration file at ~/.config/vixi/keyboard.vim is required to start, you can find an example inside the here.

That said, the binary already contains the default configurations so the configuration shouldn't be required. I will fix this ASAP.

try

$ ./vixi file=abc.txt

If you use file=, it will be OK.

See source code in main.rs, master, lines 83-7:

    let matches = cli::build().get_matches();

    let file_path = matches
        .value_of("file")
        .expect("failed to retrieve cli value");
