If you don't mind the size of the respective packages, both VIM and GNU Emacs have support for many features that ee(1) lacks. editors/vim-lite has visual block-editing and rectangle-editing modes. It includes support for multiple open buffers, split windows, and many more nice features. editors/emacs has support for many selection modes, including support for block-editing, rectangle-editing, a virtually unlimited number of 'cut buffers' (they are called 'registers' in Emacs terminology), and a literally mind-bending number of extra features. I use both editors on a regular basis. Most of the ASCII art I've posted in this mailing list and other open source mailing lists has been created using Vim or Emacs. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
