no, but this is not text editing and specialized tools probably do a
better job.

can it map the classes in a directory like gphpedit does? not that I use
that feature but it does. It also parses the code for you but I guess so
would 

:!php -l file.php

then ugly output and then Hit ENTER of type command to continue

in gphpedit is <F9>

I think VI and likely powerful applications such as EMACS violate what I
believe is the basic principle of UNIX application development where
modularity is the rule. I think this is the true power of UNIX.

About VI


:%s/replace_me/with_this/g

this is not nice

<esc>:w(some command to go back to inser mode, which you already were )

that is terrible! Other than entering characters this is or should be
the most used sequence therefore easily accessible.

You have to go all over the keyboard for such important functionalities.
It is like having to get out of your car to push it every time you stop.
One will give you back pain and the other tendinitis :-)

Lets change one character

vi asdf.conf
some insert text command
change the character
<esc>
:wq
What about if you forgot to su as I often do :-)

I just feel more confortable with nano and pico because for my purposes
let me work faster. For macros I have shell scripts. I much rather use
the OS rather than have an application trying to act like it :-)

I do not even want to get in the presses of wrong command where you are
in command mode and you have all kinds of weirds output happening.

My favorite <control>s

take care,

PS1: You also have to add the user of the <shift> key where required.
PS2: I know I will take a lot of slack for my big mouth.
