Nice. Was vi-style modal editing a significant inspiration? It seems like it must have been. Definitely neat to see an approach to the same kind of limited-terminal constraints brought to modern devices. I don't know if I'd use it as a primary interface, but as a high level tool for code organization it could potentially justify having a touch screen on a code editing machine.
- westoncb 14y agoI've been meaning to learn vi, but still haven't gotten around to it :) So I can't say that it was much of an inspiration for what's there. Interestingly though, the way that it sequences commands so that they could be described by a grammar has inspired important parts of the program that haven't been incorporated yet...
