Maybe you like to have a look at commander-plugin which already might is a good starting point.
Possibly, and thanks for the pointer, but I'm not really aiming to produce a full plugin. Lua scripts are much quicker and easier :). One file, no compilation, just save to a directory and run them.
OK. This is fine with me.
Personally I doubt the lua-plugin is a good base for such a feature as it's nearly unmaintained since some time.
Hmm...thanks for the tip. As far as I can tell, though, the Lua plugin still works fine, whether it's maintained or not. I've produced several scripts in it.
But we cannot assure it will in future as there is no real maintainer. Personally I was already thinking of removing the plugin btw.
Either way, do you think that a vim overlay would be useful (to some)?
As old tall tell there is also kind of a vim mode in emacs, there is for sure somebody who think its useful. But this being said: I expect here you will open Pandoras box. There will be people outside - lot of people - that will ask "why is :foobaa not supported".
