This rules out a lot of text editors. For console, i use nano, for GUI i'm using leafpad, any other suggestions? I've gone to the extreme with desktop-independence. I use DWM as my window manager and have it tweaked such that unless I happen to have a browser or image/movie viewer open it looks just like the Linux console. The only window decorations is a one pixel wide border to show which window has focus, which I can toggle off/on. DWM can be completely controlled via the keyboard. I use the plain Jane console version of vim even when using it under X in a urxvt window. if you decide to investigate other minimalist WM's you might look at xmonad.
