QuickCursor can still be used, if you compile it yourself; it's just that Apple's sandboxing rules don't allow it to be in the App Store. Its source is available at https://github.com/jessegrosjean/quickcursor . Since you say you're not a coder, I put a compiled version of it up on my Dropbox at https://www.dropbox.com/s/1hmp013km6odzzg/QuickCursor.app.zip?dl=0 ; I hope it works for you. (I find that MacVim works fine, although I decided to change my MacVim "Open files from applications" preference to "in a new window" so the temporary files used by QuickCursor don't pollute my existing Vim instances. I haven't had any luck with it using Emacs or SublimeText as editor, but I assume that won't bother many people here!) > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Eric Weir > Decatur, GA USA > [email protected] > > "Imagining the other is a powerful antidote to fanaticism and hatred." > > - Amos Oz -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
