The customisability and features is why i want to master vim. I didn't know about vim keybindings for gedit so thanks. I tried the vim keybindings for Abiword but doesn't seem to work for me at present. I can't get Abiword.Profile setup at present. thanks james --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
