Setting up Vim bindings for Pine

Edit the .pinerc file:

editor=vim

Start up pine.

Hit ’s’ for setup

Hit ‘c’ for config

Select the following two preferences under “composer preferences”:

enable-alternate-editor-command

enable-alternate-editor-implicitly

When you start up pine, you’ll need to ^n ^p to move around the upper portion of the email, but once you enter the body, you can now use vim!
