On the occasions where I've needed it, I've used ports/editors/vim as an UTF-8 text entry widget. I suspect it suffers severe shortcomings regarding composing characters in "exotic" writing systems, but it's good enough for flavors of Latin-Greek-Cyrillic. > Vi(m) and similar is out of question for me, I never > learned those. The basics of vi(1) are not hard. People could stand a bit more mental flexibility in that area. Over the years I've used Wordstar-style, UCSD-Pascal-style, Emacs-style, vi-style, and a few other editors and I have failed to form strong opinions about any of those styles. > I tried to compile latest nano from CVS, which support UTF-8, but > with no luck.

In the past I've looked at yudit <URL:http://www.yudit.org/>, but despite its claim to being "intuitive" I couldn't quite make sense of it, so I never created a port.
