I am a bit startled by this ... your users are currently looking thru 10,000+ records using arrow keys? That would, at first glance seem insane. I fear I must be missing some critical part of the work-flow. Does Crisp feature a search interface they are using to do that job that grep would do? I know it is slightly off-topic, but now I am really curious... -- Robert Melton | http://robertmelton.com/contact --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
