While in general I certainly prefer Mac style editing to vi, there is one vi
feature I find extremely useful which has yet to show up in any Mac editor I
have seen, and that is the ability to mark a location and quickly return to
it. It's a simple two keystroke command in vi ('m' followed by a letter to
name the mark), and returning is another 2 stroke command. It's very useful
in navigating large programs, or any large documents for that matter.
Anyone have any idea why it hasn't been implemented in any major editors, or
know of any that do have it?
