Re: Oh, vi mode~~~

Wooh, that would be THE ONE killer feature enabling me to get rid of gvim on both Linux and Windows and use kate instead!

gvim's gui (that's all gvim is about in the first place) is somewhat rotten and feature incomplete. Also, it really lacks the possibility to change to the easy input mode in an instand. When co-workers try touch my editor, they're like pissed after two seconds. With kate, I could just switch the input mode to something sane in an instant :)

Without missing powerfull keyboard-only tools vi (okay, loads of improvements from vim) offers.
AND one would find vi input mode all over KDE, wherever KatePart is used!

Hellyeah, I bloody WANT THAT! Where is the donate button?!
