Very helpful editor, indeed.

Just like vim!

I thought vim was a console editor.

"VIM can operate in a text based environment but there is a version
known as gVim which operates in a GUI environment."

I'm a KDE user (dont swear at me please)

I'm a KDE user too, and gvim looks as good in KDE as the other GTK
apps I use.

I must be thinking of vi and that was a complete nightmare to use.

I certainly prefer VI iMproved to VI or any other editor.

I could never get on with it, so many keystrokes just to change a
simple line of text. I used to hate editing things through the
console, so I used to have to make sure I never broke my SMB server,
and shared / as 'admin' like Windows shares C:\WINNT as 'ADMIN$' so
that I could edit files.

Aaaaaargh! (No other comment.)

I find nano usable!

nano suits me for console editing.

I don't mind nano, but it's not what I'm used to and it doesn't have
many kewl capabilities.

It's one that I can actually use, so I'm quite fond of it (but prefer
to edit under X of course. Copy and paste is very valuable to me!

I mostly use X, so I just drag the mouse to copy, and middle-click to
paste.

I don't understand why M$ made copying and pasting so much more
complicated.

Of course, in vim I tend to use "y" and "p" a lot, because it's even
easier.
