Or 'alias vi emacs' then M-x vi-mode
Actually, speaking of primitive, my advisor actually uses *Word Star*.
He is probably the only person on the planet who runs several linux
and solaris boxes and still uses wordstar (and doesn't know public ftp
or how to use a browser). For you youngin's, Word Star is the word
processor that predated Word Perfect.
For a 5-6 years, when he worked under SunOS 4 he used aprimitive text
editor called textedit, I think. When he migrated to linux he was in
need of a suitably primitive text editor so I got him to use emacs.
Here is the .emacs I created for him:
(setq default-major-mode 'wordstar-mode)
(setq-default transient-mark-mode t)
(setq-default line-number-mode t)
;; Save workspace between visits
(desktop-load-default)
(desktop-read)
(setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.tex$" . wordstar-mode) auto-mode-alist))
(switch-to-buffer "temp")
This was very painful for me, like taking a Ferrari, ripping out the
engine, and replacing it with that of a VW microbus. Or worse.
