Vi in Arachno would probably be what finally decides me to buy it, so 
this sounds great! However, ...

Unless I'm mistaken, Ctrl-I is what the TAB keys sends, so that's 
probably not a good one to  choose.

Also, if you decide to provide a different mapping, please make sure to 
keep Esc, since anyone who has been using vi for a while (20+ years, in 
my case) will curse you if it goes.

By the way, are you planning to include the command-line stuff? Seasoned 
vi users probably make a lot of use of that.  While Arachno will 
presumably have ways to do most of them, again a long-time user will 
find it painful to convert.

Cheers,
