I've setup my 4coder to be modal, similar to vim. When starting a fresh instance of 4coder, I'd like to be in normal mode instead of insert mode. The custom command below is what I use to switch into normal mode while I'm editing.
I assumed I could simply call this command within the my_start HOOK, but it doesn't work. Any pointers on how to switch keymaps on startup?
1 2 3 4 5 | uint32_t access = AccessAll; View_Summary view = get_active_view(app, access); Buffer_Summary buffer = get_buffer(app, view.buffer_id, access); switch_keymap(app, normal_map); |

It depends entirely on how you're trying to implement maps. If you're using the built in map system then you want to make sure that every buffer that get's created at start up will set it's map.
Aha, I didn't realize I needed to tell the buffer to switch maps. That fixed my problem.
