Yeah, I was also wondering about other features. A couple that spring to mind: An option (config file or command line) to increase the max limit on the number of lines (basically switch from a static array to malloc) same for max line length (not sure about the possibility of this one) These are mainly motivated by the fact that I sometimes need to edit gygantic ascii data files and such editing is usually much easier to do in a text editor rather than other more specialist software.
