Simple is in the eye of the beholder. Also, simple isn't always the best solution. afair, you (FBSD1) (it'd be nice if you'd use your real name), are wanting to move from `ee' to a new editor. I'm almost certain that this was a question that I've asked here before. Moving from ee to a real editor. Search my name in the archives. Personally, I chose vim. I found that the 'vimtutor' was phenomenal, and I only had to spend one work day making notes for myself on paper to mentally remember the important commands. The mailing list is *very* good and *very* active, but again, the tutorial is excellent. Not only that, the :help system in vim contains ALL of the documentation for itself. All in all, I tried emacs, and I'm a bit used to it, but vim stuck. I am so used to the key commands now that I oftentimes use them in editors that I shouldn't ;) I won't go on about how flexible the config is, because I'm certain all of the other editors can do all sorts of special tricks (particularly when coding) too. iTry vim. ii:wq Steve _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
