| Steve,
|
| I used to think vi was pretty hard. Then I had to start using it on a
| unix system. I got used to the codes, and can do what I want in it.
|
| But I've also seen vi experts who can edit code very quickly - much
| faster than someone using a mouse. They can get to the text they want
| faster from the keyboard than anyone using a mouse can. I'm nowhere
| near that, and still prefer a graphics editor (I use Crimson, also).
|
| But there is a lot to say for non-graphic editors.

i suppose. i've seen them too, really going to town. i just don't have the
time nor inclination to memorize codes...that is, outside of
ctl+(gfh,zxcv,home,end, pg up/dwn,arrows) and ctl+shift with most of the
previous listed.

teto, i guess. crimson does it for me.
