Ok, but I admit that this e3vi-mode is still very incomplete. On longer
distance e3vi should at least give similar possibilities as e3em or e3ws.
The problem in writing a better vi mode is: you need a something like
a _parser_ to read user some commands. Other editors don't need that.
For example type "123G" (does nothing in e3vi), but "Alt-G123<RETURN>
in Emacs is much easierand SMALLER to write because you get a command
and THEN you read in a line number expected to be terminated by <RETURN> key.
BTW in e3vi you can press <ESC>:123<RETURN>.
Cheers
Albrecht
