Remember - the simplest, most general initial approach to letting people edit a file in their own preferred editor is to allow external editors, and configuration of same.
Yes, this gives up things (i.e. code completion) but at the same time it provides an important stepping stone: a way to do "everything" your favorite editor does.... which makes it more acceptable to implement "some of the most commonly used" key shortcuts within your ide (it doesn't have to do it "all" if it gives the user a way to get to the "real thing").... Now, the tension you walk is how much to implement internally, but it can be dictated by your actual user population - you don't _have_ to do it all at first: just let your users tell you what they can't live without, and little by little it will evolve, you will find that more-or-less stable "sweet spot". - Yarko On Apr 18, 10:10 am, "G.
