Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Is FreeBSD project really going to push /usr/bin/ee as the standard editor for FreeBSD ? Could this be reconsidered, it is really confusing for users to have standard editor which has completely uncommon keyboard mappings for basic keys like movement (in addition to using things like esc-return for exiting; esc is not supposed to be used that way!) If the size of the editor is the problem, could the keyboard mappings be copied from pico or emacs so that it would be in line with other common software ?
