iF we throw out "gvim" since it is simply the GUI variant of vim, are there are other GUI editors that use the kinds of :ab abbreviations that vi does? I ask this because I don't know wmany many people with speech imopairments or who cannot speak at all would be interested in using my version of vi/vim with it's .ex/.nex/.vimrc and my hundred+ abbreviations. The IM app, pidgin is not an editor, but it does let user use the mouse and/or arrow keys. pidgin also uses abbrvs. BEcause i type so slowly, i have my pidgin set up to use a slew of abbrev. [Well, not the obv's, like 'FWIW' :-) ... but other words. I would be interested in knowing how many list members _don't_ know vi and use another editor. just curious.... gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix Journey Toward the Dawn, E-Book: http://www.thought.org The 7.98a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org
