Vim is for you in that case :)
It seems terribly hard to understand. I tried several times but with no luck. I have no a week of time only to understand how to edit text. I don't understand how people can use it :-)
Ah. I see your problem now. You're trying to 'understand' the editor. That's what you're doing wrong. I've been using VI for nearly 30 years (since 1982 actually) and I don't 'understand it'. I did look at the code once, back in about '83 and didn't understand it, but I didn't let that bother me. I don't think about 'editing'. I just think about what I want the file to look like and somehow "my fingers do the walking" on the keyboard. I guess its my fingers that 'understand' the editor. And VI bears absolutely no resemblance to EMACS. My fingers simply can't grok EMACS. -- "Key escrow to rule them all; key escrow to find them.
