thanks :)

note, there is basically zero ed implementation
as of now. feature requests are generally finished
pretty quickly though.

i have nothing fundamental against providing
emacs key bindings, just that i've no interest
in coding it either as i put aside emacs for
vi over 5 years ago already :)

have more interest in hacking on borland c++ 3.0
style bindings in fact. so maybe when i've hacked
that in emacs bindings could be done by someone
with a clue :)

how many people are interested in a gtk2 frontend?
if i can have a show of 5 or more hands then i'll
prioritize this.

cheers,
Alex
