A I have not noticed lots of space spoken when using VIM, but I usually avoid
it because I can't quite get used to if I need to use the a or i command to
insert just a little bit. I guess when the document is blank it sometimes did
this but not regularly and could be adjusted with verbosity / punctuation.
I tend to use text edit quite a bit for plain text documents and find that
nicer than any of the Windows editors wexcept perhaps EdSharp
In terms of command M being used to minimize your window, there is a way to
turn this off. I believe I set my VM to ignore Macintosh Global keystrokes and
this then prevents that from happening. One side effect that occasionally
happens then is that those commands don't work on the Macintosh side until I
stop Fusion.
Best wishes,
Jonathan Cohn
