It would be cool to be able to use vim commands in the script editor. For those of you that don't know what vim is, it's a text editor found in unix/linux operating systems that lets you work completely with the keyboard, and is way better than emacs (eww). You can do things way faster in vim because you don't have to reach for the mouse to move around in the editor. Not as a default though, since the learning curve is more of a learning cliff.

First of all, I don't still get what Vim is. And what is a Text Editor? And what do you mean work completely with a keyboard? Hang on, do you mean clicking somewhere in a script to edit it? I don't know.

It's mostly used by people who still know what a VHS tape looks like. You move the cursor entirely with the keyboard.

Um.....I think the mouse would be faster. Proof: You can move the cursor with your mouse as fast as you can.

Have you ever used vim? It's faster. Just learn how to use it and you'll see.
