I don't think so. You could use Vim, instead; this seems to work as you'd like it to. More to the point is that you're using arrow keys in vi, which is optimized for fast typing (little wasted motion and little need for Ctrl- or Alt-key combinations). Personally, I find it faster to just switch between command and insert modes and use the h,j,k, and l keys instead of the arrow keys... Ymmv, of course, but you might want to give it a chance, if you haven't already. -- "Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today." -- Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
