Subject: editor that understands CTRL/B, CTRL/I, CTRL/U
My daughter is doing a touch typing course
that presumes MS Word. So far she was fine
with pico, but now they want the kids to
practice CTRL/B (bold), CTRL/I (italic),
CTRL/U (underline). She really needs to use
these particular combinations because that
is how the on-line assessment tool is set out.
I use nothing but vi, so have no clue which,
if any, editor from ports/editors will have
these particular combinations implemented.
Please recommend one, preferably as simple
and as small as possible.
Sorry *NO* 'text editor' has those capabilities, let alone has
them on those key sequences.
Those are 'word processor' functions. word processor' software
is required.
I know, I know..
I don't know why in a touchtyping course
you need to teach kids this, but..
Anyway, abiword seems to do what I need.
Let me know if there's anything lighter.
Many thanks
Aloha
I use abiword and send files in "word" or "text" to my wifes Windows box
for her to use as needed. abiword translates to the MS format if you
daughter has to turn in a file for an assignment.
