I like vim's approach of having a separate config file for its GUIs: .gvimrc. That way the non-GUI config files don't have to say anything about GUIs, though I'm not sure if that would work with yi's approach of having main in the config file. -- Yi development mailing list yi-devel@googlegroups.com http://groups.google.com/group/yi-devel
