My main gripe with the vi emulation in Yi was in vty mode[1] and how it was unable to tell that 'esc' wasn't always 'meta-'. e.g., If I leave insert mode with esc and hit j to go down a line too quickly it interpreted it as meta-j. Quite annoying. This was a little while ago though. Also, I remember the cursor would go beyond the last character in a line in command mode, which is very un-vi-ish. At the time I remember thinking I should try and fix these things myself... but.. umm... [1] vty Yi is the only one I would use--coding must always live inside a screen session :) I really dislike wrapping a GUI around vi(m). I don't want toolbars, tabs, scrollbars nor menus. I don't even want a titlebar. Absolute full screen terminal running screen is perfect. :) _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
