I would implore my fellow Xywriters, to check out gvim! It is cross platform, 
free, and robust! Scripting within the text editor/processor is in its own 
vimscript as well as perl, python and other languages. The focus of the 
interface is to try and keep your hands ALWAYS on the keyboard. The learning 
curve, for the default key bindings, is steep, like Xywrite, but trust me there 
is a payoff in performance of action. There is a HUGE amount of scripts/pluging 
already accessible, a thriving support community, etc.

If anyone has any questions, I'll gladly answer, but search the web. Trust me 
you'll find a wealth of answers!
