Enable/Disable vim-mode based on file type? (e.g. markdown)

[chibicode]

Hi, I love vim-mode but was wondering if there's an easy way to enable/disable vim-mode for certain file types, like markdown. If not, a setting entry for ignored file names like the screenshot below would be really awesome.

Sorry if this is a duplicate issue - my search for "file type enable" and "file type disable" didn't yield relevant results.

Just FYI, I'd like to have it disabled on markdown files b/c lines can get really long in markdown and need soft wrap, which isn't supported by vim-mode, according to README: eb0864f

Vim-mode should support soft-wrap. We should remove that paragraph from the README. Have you found any cases where soft-wrapped lines are still treated incorrectly?

Regarding your initial question, I don't think there is a way to do this. However, you can deactivate and activate the package repeatedly, so it should be easy to write a script that deactivates vim-mode while a markdown editor is focused. See the atom.workspace.observeActivePaneItem() method.

@maxbrunsfeld thanks! Right, after some testing the only issue I came across w/ soft wrap was this: #785

I made a README PR: https://github.com/atom/vim-mode/pull/797/files

See the atom.workspace.observeActivePaneItem() method.

Thanks for the pointer! I'll look into this.
