Subject: editor that understands CTRL/B, CTRL/I, CTRL/U
My daughter is doing a touch typing course
that presumes MS Word. So far she was fine
with pico, but now they want the kids to
practice CTRL/B (bold), CTRL/I (italic),
CTRL/U (underline). She really needs to use
these particular combinations because that
is how the on-line assessment tool is set out.
I use nothing but vi, so have no clue which,
if any, editor from ports/editors will have
these particular combinations implemented.
Please recommend one, preferably as simple
and as small as possible.
Sorry *NO* 'text editor' has those capabilities, let alone has
them on those key sequences.
Those are 'word processor' functions. word processor' software
is required.
I know, I know..
I don't know why in a touchtyping course
you need to teach kids this, but..
Anyway, abiword seems to do what I need.
Let me know if there's anything lighter.
For a no brain, no effort solution, how about Google Docs?
Otherwise, you might want to take a look at the port www/tinymce3. It's
a JavaScript editor that runs in a browser and does word processorish
things. You can see what it's like at
http://www.tinymce.com/tryit/full.php
(Javascript needed, fairly obviously :-)
Caveat: I've never used it seriously, Abiword and/or Google Docs cover
the few times I need to be compatible with the Windows world.
