Sometimes I do only need to travel up or down one line at a time though, and then the mouse seems like a waste of time to grab, so I just ctrl-n or ctrl-p in Emacs to get there (yes I don't use arrows unless I have to, and no this didn't feel natural for a long time). I suspect there's no perfect editor interface available. All of them beat editing crap on my iPhone :-) Dave
