What is VIM? Where could it be downloaded?
What is CLI? I am looking for GUI/command prompt text editor for Windows 7/8.
The notepad plus program lacks start/end block setting option even though it
have a lot of hot keys. My top priority is setting start/end block option
which was available for old DOS-based text editor, but I have not seen any
window-based text editor for this option. 16-bit DOS text editor program will
not run on 64-bit operating system.
Please advise.
Thank you.

Which text editor program will run 64-bit operating system
On FreeBSD?
In the GUI? or on the CLI?
with following
features:
* Support 100 percent of hot keys
How many is that? If a program has programmable hot keys, would that suffice?
* Hot keys available for setting start/end block to be copied, moved
or
deleted
without requiring any mouse lock.
It is not possible to use mouse lock or to hold shift key combined
with
navigating
key at the same time without accidently dese4lcing.
A challenge, no-doubt.
* Support special ASCII characters
Less of a challenge. Most editors are good about special ASCII characters (the
ones that don't are in the minority, imho).
...
I'd honestly recommend vim (CLI) or gvim (GUI).
NOTE: Assuming FreeBSD here.
