Hi Richard,
I tried vim briefly. One of the things that frustrated me was that whenever I got a new buffer, the application executable name changed, so I didn't want to create a script set for each buffer that might come up. Maybe there's a way around that problem that I don't know of. For example, one thing I thought of was to create ten script sets where all but one switches back to a main script set.

Subject: editor questions

I am looking for a new text editor.

Has anyone tried the vim editor with jaws or the later Cream exttention to
vim?  And how well does it seem to work with jaws?  I am interested in this
editor because I used vi for many years and I know most commands without
thinking.

Also has anyone tried the Zeuse editor and how well does it work with jaws?
I am interested in this editor because it claims to have Python as its
scripting language.

I know Ken uses boxer and it works well with jaws and has a C based
scripting language, so it is also a good candidate.

Last but certainly not least, Jamal's EdSharp has some very interesting
features, but does it have a scripting language and does it support ctags
like many commercial editors?

Richard
