Exactly what you have described will be a project I'll be working on. It will be my final-year project (I am studying CompSci), and I'll try to put a lot of X features in vi. At the moment I'm trying to see if I can use any source code from a vi-clone, e.g. stevie, so I can concentrate more on the X interface. If you have any ideas, suggestions or comments on vi and any extra features you'd like under X (e.g. buffer mark/yank etc. using the mouse), please let me know.
