Coolness! > I've given up on emacs, save for use in vi-mode: [x]emacs demands at least two hands:) Beside, my fingers know vi automatically. --That said, isn't/wasn't there some kind of IDE that let the user choose different toolsets??-- (For example, I might be happy with an integrated [n]vi or vim + ctags + gdb) I've tried the KDE flavor of IDE back while running SuSE but it's editor gave me fits; kept hitting ESC and the [jk] keys, &c. In the end, I think the IDE concept might not do that much for productivity; it may be more along thr 'neat-toys' category. But I'll withhold my biases until I learn differently. If there is no IDE that lets you pick-and-choose, is there any that uses vi* as its default? gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix
