Ultimately there should be multiple text editor implementations usable in KDevelop. We should at least be able to use kate and gvim xpart. That vim stuff looks really promising BTW. I don't know much about vim, but if it can be configured to behave like a modeless editor, it would be a great edition to the arsenal of gideon. > My first try was the kate interfaces stuff, which nobody wanted to use (not > really nobody, but most people was complaining the whole time it is to kate > specific, what is true, because it IS a interface for kate) and now we have > build up the ktexteditor stuff (for more generic use) which is a "bit" > bloated throught the multiple inheritance stuff (but the other approach > with an interface class for each interface in the doc/view is bloated too). > Forget about bloatedness. :) Multiple inheritance is a language feature not a bug. > Now the question: WHAT DO YOU WANT ??? > (Mean not you Roland, know what you want, and thats all right, mean the > other kdevelopers and people sitting around there :) > As a user, I want to be able to choose to use an editor among many. As a programmer, I would like to be able to provide my editor as a gideon plugin easily.

FYI, that's not going to be emacs so have a good sleep. Comments welcome, Thanks, - -- Eray Ozkural (exa) Comp. Sci.
