I have been using vi clones on my AT, at home for a while now, and love them. I just got elvis, and that seems to be as good as stevie, which I've used for a year or so, plus, it seems to be able to deal with larger files. I do have a question. I recently bought a Logitech "Trackman" for use with another program (Turbo C++), and I've been playing around with using it in elvis. Right now, rolling the ball to the right or the left types l's or h's, and rolling it up or down types k's or j's; the left button types an i, the button types an x, and the right button is ESC. That was my first go at adapting the trackball/mouse to elvis. Has anyone else attempted to mouseify elvis or one of the other vi clones? With three buttons, there are 8 possible combinations I could use-- I just can't figure out what else is useful. Any ideas? I'd also like to know how difficult it would be to try to use elvis inside of TC's compiler, if it's even possible. I need to RTFM, but there's nothing quite like hearing from someone who's done it... Mike Wagner wagner@hatteras.cs.unc.edu
