VimKit

Reusable Textual vim-style editor components extracted from Fleet.

What is here

• VimEditor: the core modal editor widget
• VimWorkbench: editor plus VimKit-owned top bar, command bar, and status bar
• VimExtension: extension hook for : commands and editor integrations
• VimHost: host interface for project-specific behaviors like named directories

Status

The package is source-isolated and can be developed independently from Fleet.

Local development

uv sync
uv run python -m compileall src

Install

pip install vimkit

Using from another project

During development, add it as a local path dependency:

uv add --editable ../VimKit

Later, switch to a Git dependency or the published PyPI package.

First release flow

1. Bump the version in pyproject.toml.
2. Sync dev tools with uv sync --dev.
3. Build distributions with uv build.
4. Validate artifacts with uv run twine check dist/*.
5. Upload with uv run twine upload dist/*.

PyPI will prompt for your username and password unless you use an API token.

Notes

• VimKit is released under the MIT license.
• If you later mirror this to GitHub, PyPI Trusted Publishing is preferable to long-lived credentials.
