Hi, After having read so much about what you guys do with Emacs - for which I feel a deep respect - I thought I would drop a line about Vim. Both editors are said to be very old, noble, and highly estimated tools in the world of Linux hackers...
Not so long ago I have started writing my abc files with Vim. This confirms that there are still people (me) who even in today's modern world full of windows and mouse clickable buttons still try to learn Vim starting from zero. As a consequence I have started to write everything at all with Vim just to learn more and more features every day. There seems to be no end at all to what is possible to do with this editor. I was very surprised to see that there is actually a syntax highlighting mode especially built for abc files. What a nice view - the lines with "campi di informazioni" all green, the chords blue, the notes red, how beautiful! But some newer features like !coda! don't seem to be interpreted correctly. I have tried to search Internet for descriptions of this feature but I do not seem to find any anywhere - because, if there are made changes to the abc language - extensions in the sense of abcplus for example - then one should expect that there would also be someone who maintains the abc mode for Vim. Who actually does that? Who wrote that mode in the first place? Who knows anything about this particular matter?
