Vim is a text only editor. If you want to retain embedded word processing formatting, you will have to use something like pocket word (free with the windows mobile emulator link that I sent you or free with any pda that you purchase). Otherwise ya hafta "pony up" and buy TextMaker - which I love.
I don't have an external keyboard. Still looking and trialing them. I have a Starcom 6700 which includes a hardware keyboard. Here is the link to my pocket Vim file. http://uploadhut.com/view.php/251938.zip Pocekt Vim Remember, you will have to go through the various sub folders and delete the files that you don't need. There are 4 megs of doc files, and several megs of tutorial files that you might not want on your pda. Also there are tons of syntax formats that you may never use. If you open my vimrc_bandung.vim setup file, you will note that I have defined a few short keys. For example, to type an <esc> I use three tabs <tab><tab><tab>. I also wanted square brackets so I use <tab><tab>k and <tab><tab>l Here are my keyboard mappings for the additional keys that are not on the Starcom6700. vmap <tab> >gv vmap <s-tab> <gv imap <tab><tab><tab> <C-c> imap <tab><tab><down> \ imap <tab><tab>k [ imap <tab><tab>l ] imap <tab><tab>n < imap <tab><tab>m > imap <tab><tab>a ^ map <tab><tab><tab> <C-c> map <tab><tab>q <C-Q> map <tab><tab><down> \ map <tab><tab>k [ map <tab><tab>l ] map <tab><tab>n < map <tab><tab>m > map <tab><tab>a ^ set lines=10 set tw=78 set mouse=a set nowrap set expandtab set ruler filetype plugin on filetype indent on I would not seriously consider doing my programming solely on a pda. It is at least twice as slow as a desktop and the screen real estate size seems frustratingly too small after awhile. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/thanks-tf2828051.html#a7900449 Sent from the Python - pythonce mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ PythonCE mailing list PythonCE@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonce
