I'm switching back and forth between several computers (though I sometimes use the Linux machines remotely via X as well as directly at the console of one of them (still using X)). So I'm moving back and forth between Linux, WinME, WinXP, and occasionally Win2K.
And on each computer, I'm switching back and forth between different browsers: Opera (my main browser / first choice), Firefox, Konqueror, and Lynx being the ones I use regularly (I go through spells of using Lynx a lot and spells of using Lynx only occasionally -- at the moment it's getting a fair bit of use), with Links and Navigator once in a while and Explorer when it launches by accident as a result of invoking something I didn't realize would launch a browser and ignores my favourite-browser setting. In the past I've also used iCab under MacOS, and will eventually start doing so again.
I think I've got vim on all but one or two machines (I think I had a problem getting Cygwin set up on the Win2K box, and I don't remember whether I have vi/vim on the MacOS 8.x and 9.x machines). But when it comes to browser plug-ins / add-ons, you can see I've got a bit of a configuration-management "situation". (You wanna see this list of all the different ways I have to remember for doing copy and paste, between different apps and different environments?)
It sounds like I get to have a solution for one browser, anyhow. I use Firefox under Windows more often than under Linux (in Linux I use Opera and Konqueror more often, but I do use Firefox often enough there to still be worth installing the add-on) -- will the add-on play nice in Windows-native Firefox with vim.exe under Cygwin?
Now if I can find something like that for Opera ...
That xterm syntax looks right. (I thought there was also an X-ified version of vim that didn't need an xterm, but I'm not seeing it on my Debian box ... ah, here it is on a SuSe box: gvim. I should try that and see whether it adds anything I like or drives me crazy.)
I thought joe stood for "Joe's Own Emacs" --? (Emacs and I don't like each other. It's mean to me, so I'm rude to it. It's rude too, ignoring my stty settings. Vi knows how to treat me right.)
Joe's Own Editor (which like GNU, was a self-referential acronym). He based the original key mapping on WordStar (^K is your friend) and I memorized that so much I reconfigured any emacs I use to use it instead.
but yeah, VIM as supported variants of VI probably would work. Now I haven't tried the cygwin solution; in fact I've not done any attempt to use cygwin without being in the cygwin shell first. I simply don't need to.
Me, I've always hated vi and always will. To each their own...
On windows, I use the (not updated since 2004, but it works so I don't argue) Crimson editor for most of my text needs. I also use firefox exclusively unless i'm testing my code.
Thank you
