[lw-vim-mode-announce] v8 posted

[Larry Clapp]

Changelog:

v8, 6/13/2008

General changes:

* Started Visual mode.  Didn't get very far.  Really just defined a
  minor mode and a key to enter it, but nothing else.  Don't use yet.
* Normal mode yank/put commands added.  `P` behavior changed / fixed.
* Search commands changed to be real movement commands, so they work
  with motion-pending commands.
* vim::vim-delete-motion changed to vim::vim-action-over-motion.

Mappings changed/added

* `(` / `)`: changed from Vim Backward/Forward Form to Vim
  Backward/Forward Sentence.  Use `C-(` / `C-)` for moving over lists.
* `v` to enter Visual mode.  Really just sets the mark to the current
  cursor position.
* `P` / `p` to put before/after.
* `Y` to yank line
* `D` to kill to end of line.
* `y{motion}` added
* `dd` and `yy` to delete or yank whole line.
* `vu` and `vU` removed (side effect of adding `v` to enter visual
  mode)
* `/` and `?` changed to be real Vim movement commands, so they work
  with motion-pending commands.
* Same for `C-/` and `C-?`
