Folks, This may be considered OT by some, but it hits home with me given my continual use of editors/WP's. My dream word processor or an Gnome app like gedit would include at least a few vi-isms. (I've known about xemacs for years; it has a vi-like drops, so the user has that option. ) I'm also familiar with vim and gvim. --I just found the autoindent feature in gedit. How much work (and it is serious hacking) to integrate the some of vi into a GUI/Gnome or KDE editor? I like the newer AbiWord and the growing stability of OO. But my fingers have been using vi BillJoy finished it. vi beats the hell out of (forgive me!) ed. I'm likely among the few who this matters to; but I'd like to see some reasoned discussion. Flames to /dev/null, please. gary PS: Didn't "knews" let people reply with a large vi-like thing that popped up? -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix
