When the first Vi was developed keyboards (and operating systems) were quite unusable for lot of languages. What's a frequently used key in one language may not be frequently used in some other language. Colon (:) needs a Shift key in the Finnish keyboard and this is good because there are many other, more frequently needed keys which are better located in non-Shifted positions. In general a user interface shouldn't depend too much on the physical location of keys. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
