After reading the FAQ and Tips and Tricks, I can only imagine how amazing a modern terminal WordPerfect clone with Vim keybindings would be. I write a lot of pandoc markdown documents, vim and vscode are fine, but they are text editors not word processors.
- theli0nheart 4y agoI began a complete clone about a year ago, but paused work when I decided to start a startup :) It was mainly just a technical exercise, but comments like yours make me think that people would actually use it.
- timellis-smith 4y agoWordPerfect 6 for Dos was my favourite word processor. Vim keybindings would make WP pretty incredible.
- pedrow 4y agoAlso you need a template to drop over the function keys. How would that work on a modern keyboard!? https://cdn.hackaday.io/files/1604126863067008/UI__3_WordPerfect.pdf https://cdn.hackaday.io/files/1604126863067008/UI__3_WordPer...
- xattt 4y agoDon’t forget a buckling spring keyboard for that ultimate bare metal experience.
- DevOfNull 4y agoI don't use it personally, but from what I hear this is exactly the use case Emacs was made for.
- Apfel 4y agoNeovim with the markdown preview plugin does a really really neat job if you haven't tried it.
