Xcode's Vim Mode - further development?

It was fantastic news to hear, last year, that Xcode was getting a Vim mode. Apple's implementation of it was a great first step, but it was missing a bunch of key features. Most importantly the dot command (and by, extension, macros) and creating marks in files, which are functions that I use/rely on on a daily basis.

I thought I would finally be able to stop having to self-sign Xcode (which causes problems) in order to use XVim2 plugin, but no such luck.

Will these features get added in for Xcode 14 (they don't seem to be in the beta) or are they far out on the roadmap?

I severely need the ability to move up/down within lines that have been wrapped across multiple lines without jumping to the next line

  • Like in any other implementation of vim, type "gj" and "gk" to move up and down wrapped lines.

I'm still constantly tapping gd to try to jump to definition. That one at least seems like it should be trivial to add.

  • gd . and Ctrl-O would be the most useful to me
