Hello, folks !
I have a little problem : I must write/modify a lot of C code for a robotic
navigation simulation program ( I'm a student in electronic engineering
at University of Genoa ) but I'm very tired of VI's mental perversions.
Therefore I'm searching for an editor for UNIX and/or X11 which allows :
1) to utilize arrow keys (in insert mode !) to position the cursor.
2) to utilize DEL key (in insert mode!) to delete character at cursor position.
3) to utilize Home,End,PgDn,PgUp keys for a fast change of cursor position.
4) to utilize mouse to position the cursor and/or to cut/copy/paste portions oftext.
Does any of you know if exists an IDEAL editor with aforesaid characteristics ?
If yes, how can I get it ? (It's sufficient that you give me the FTP address
where I can find and get it).
Thanks in advance !
My e-mail is : peanuts@dist.dist.unige.it.

It has mouse support and you can may any key in your keyboard to perform what you need. (you can also map mouse buttons). You can get the sources using annonimous ftp at minerva.inesc.pt .
