win-vind pit-ray

Win-vind is a lightweight hybrid UI system for Windows designed to enable Vim-like control over the graphical user interface (GUI). It allows users to operate Windows with key bindings and command-driven interactions reminiscent of Vim, providing an efficient and familiar workflow for those already comfortable with Vim's modal editing.

Key Features:

1. Vim-inspired Design: All configuration methods and mode concepts are derived from Vim, making it intuitive for Vim users to adapt. The learning curve is minimal, as users only need to understand win-vind’s macro features and additional mode concepts.

2. Built-in Commands: A wide range of optimized built-in commands simplifies operations without the complexity of traditional scripting or dependencies. Users can freely create user-defined commands by combining these low-level commands.

3. Portability and Open Source: Win-vind is a small, single binary with no external dependencies, making it highly portable. It runs with standard user permissions and is fully open source.

4. Command-Line Integration: Available from the command line for UI operations, allowing users to execute actions like $ win-vind -c "ggyyGp" directly.

Audience & Benefit:

Ideal for Vim users, developers, and anyone seeking a highly customizable and efficient way to interact with Windows. By leveraging their existing Vim knowledge, users can streamline window management, application navigation, and GUI operations. The tool reduces reliance on the mouse, enabling faster workflows and greater productivity through keyboard-driven interactions.

Installation: Win-vind can be installed via winget for easy setup and integration into your workflow.
