I'm well aware of sandy, it is a fine editor! I use some of the same ideas for example the syntax highlighting. One of the goals of vis to have a clean separation between frontend and backend code, it is therefore perfectly possible to implement a sandy like interface on top of it. > We haven't paid much attention at the text management algorithm, but > I think that your algorithm is not that difficult to implement.

I don't think so, try to edit something like this: コンニチハ or this: printf "Hello\0World" > TEST && sandy TEST or this (not recommended): seq 10000000 > TEST && sandy TEST Last time I looked the vim bindings weren't that powerful, for example text object are not supported?
