I guess the only downside is the OP doesn't want to learn "a bunch of
keyboard commands". This pretty much rules out vi[m]. Don't get me wrong,
I love vi (you should see some of my Windows text files -> they're full
of colons and assorted seemingly random characters), but it's not exactly
a beginner's text editor.

Cheers,
