As I keep repeating, x is TOTALLY not available to the common user. I
need to set that up as an auto reply I guess. All the good editors, and
I'm fond of geany, but neither geany, kate nor kwrite are available,
they need x and bailout when they're are denied its use, so I'm stuck
with nano, and its half a screen vertical jump for a scroll drives me
plumb out of my skull, spending 95% of my time looking for the damned
curser. No way in hell you can write good code with that distraction.
I'm running out of patience, everyone is reading what they *think* I
wrote, then answering that question I didn't ask. That is not helpfull
and just confuses the next person that replies to what ought to be a new
thread, its that far from the actual subject.
