I have been using vi{m} for over 20 years and am now totally habituated to it.
I have tried many other editors and without fail they all make me cuss at them.
While vi is absolutely horrible to learn, it’s actually quite good to use, and most important of all, it’s completely impossible to un-learn.
If there’s time it would be nice to have the ability to switch between a truly genuine vi mode and that of the johnny-come-lately vim mode. They are subtly different.
Vi Mode
Please, please, get a vi mode to work in Kate.
