Give me the *first* 5 or 10 keys you find missing from the Padre vi implementation. Try the SVN trunk version as it is several light years (ok, 2 days) ahead of the latest released 0.18 But don't search for things that are missing, I can do that myself. Just start using it and let me know what you missed. Gabor _______________________________________________ Perl mailing list [email protected] http://perl.org.il/mailman/listinfo/perl
