I don't think you're insane for thinking it would be nice, but it could possibly classify as insane to try to implement something like that. :-) That being said, you can have proportional editing up and running in about 5 minutes using the NSTextView renderer. Simply go into MMTextStorage.m and delete all references to NSFontFixedAdvanceAttribute and then rebuild and choose a proportional font. Did I get your hopes up? Well, I'm sorry but the above solution is just a hack at best. I don't think it is feasible to get proportional editing working properly with Vim. Just think of what would happen to vertical splits with a proportional font -- the split would not be straight. I'm sure there would be a million similar problems. Don't let me stop you from trying though! Björn --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist.
