I am thinking about adding drag and drop support under gnome. This would make a great difference for me. I usually have three copies of the editor running and three or four nautilus windows. I find it a lot more confortable to drag and drop the file. I bet you rather do :r ../../admin/templates/this_is_the_wrong_file.tpl :-) by the way gphpedit does not handle that extension among others. The file in the file tab.c you can add one more line for this at line 381 and recompile. (strcmp(file_extension, "tpl") == 0) || > However this has gotten waaay off topic, gphpedit is nice for php, but > for me there is nothing it does that I need that vim doesnt do, and I > really like php. Class Viewer is not available in vi. But my dislike with vi is not a matter of its features really. WhatI hate is the what you need to do to save and even search. When I was refering about the far away keys is not that it is only one key but multiple keys at opposite locations of the keyboard.

All I meant to say is that if you forget to do su, as soon as you try to edit a file you get the notice that the file is read only. Then you have to exit vi and su and then start it again. With pico or nano this will be a lot more confortable because there are less commands. > |> I am, 120-150 words per second but I would rather use that skill > |> elsewhere. > > > nowhere but the keyboard... > I am impressed about my speed "words per second" ... > | > |> I appreciate your response because it expands my knowledge; > | particularly > |> that of why people do things differently. > > > :-) > I just hope this helped you think like someone who will "never think > normally." > > | > |> thank you very much for your response.

I would like people not only to like what I sell them to them but be happy and impressed with what they get. Maybe this is why I am a bad salesman. take care, Alvaro Zuniga
