vim is uber-sexy. I’m just looking for some decent IDE stuff and I’m set (not checked out minibuf yet).

my criteria is I’m a touch typist and any plugins or scripts *have* to be keyboard easy.

also I remap my keyboard using xmodmap to sway Caps Lock and Escape (regedit if you want to do this in windows).

as promised.
