Re: vi & emacs keybindings

Alan

Thanks for your reply. I missed that link but found a reference to it
on a mailing list. You're probably right. I have looked at vim/gvim -
i find the modal keybindings rather hard to get used to. 20 years
later after using wordstar i still find their keybindings the easiest
- before i learn vim i wanted to see if i could use them for word
processing too.
