Now I wish I were using vi instead of the crappy editor that Thunderbird
comes with.
Well, you know, the emacs keybindings seem to work ...
I don't know why this is, but primitive emacs keybindings seem to get
strapped into most open source projects pretty quickly (bash,
Thunderbird, Eclipse (incremental search works, woohoo!)).
I still don't understand why all of these applications
(thunderbird, firefox, etc.) or the widget toolkit they were built with
don't implement a GUI widget in which you can embed your favorite text
editor.
Too low a userbase for too much work.
Want an idea of how hard what you want is?
Go look at the amount of work the Aquamacs folks had to do just to get
emacs to play nicely with OS X.
So many coders use Firefox now and do so much writing in it
(blogs, online bug tracking, etc) but they all have to suffer with lame
text editing capabilities.
Most of them just use emacs or vi and then upload.
I'd never use a non-emacs editor for anything over a page.
