Hmm, I'll see what I can dig up there, haven't done anything like that before so I'm 100% green. Thanks.

You CAN invoke the shell from within the vi editor and then directly invoke the compiler (for compiling your code from shell).

I know this sound stupid, but can you compile code in VI?Or do you just load the files into an IDE and compile them from there?

I know that. I was talking about my first experiences with those editors. It was a nightmare.If they work for other people, that's fine; I'm glad for you. They're just not my style.

You really could'nt be more wrong with your opinion about Emacs and tabs.Maybe you tried to code either Java or C++ code? Emacs have different modes ie. for "plain text" like ".txt" or java source code ".java". When you open emacs like this "emacs Hello.java", you'll end up using Emacs java-mode. In this mode (and C/C++ too), when you press tab, your current line automagically goes to the right identation, and not more! And that's the only feature I have really missed in my beloved Eclipse.

is there a version of VIM which uses ctrl-xcv, shift-select ? do like the idea of it but the key layout is very alien
