BTW, the line quoted is from PluggableSVIShoutMapMorphpreStyleText. If I replace basicStyle: with unstyledTextFrom: (the only method listed in the 'converting' catgory of SHTextStylerST80's instance methods) the browser will launch, but I don't have styled text... On 7/3/06, Mark Aufflick [EMAIL

I have been pondering the same sorts of things, being something of an emacs junky. Today I discovered SVI, which implements vi-like or emacs-like key bindings for many editor panes (such as the class browser, work space). I am finding it a real boon. It doesn't change the way you interact with
