I use emacs. If you never tried emacs, you might check out: • Xah's Emacs Tutorial http://xahlee.org/emacs/emacs.html • Xah's Emacs Lisp Tutorial http://xahlee.org/emacs/elisp.html you can use python to write emacs commands: • Elisp Wrapper For Perl Scripts http://xahlee.org/emacs/elisp_perl_wrapper.html Emacs keyboard shortcuts is problematic indeed. See: • Why Emacs's Keyboard Shortcuts Are Painful http://xahlee.org/emacs/emacs_kb_shortcuts_pain.html However, you can completely fix that.
