Actually, it's not usually so bad. I think bbedit is a text editor much in the style of emacs, and may even use some emacs bindings. I used to use (before installing linux) alpha, which was bbedit's chief competitor, and alpha had almost all of emacs' key bindings. Since MacOS doesn't generally use the Ctrl key, it could have all the standard Mac bindings as well as the emacs bindings. :) It was really weird when I found myself accidentally typing C-x C-c to exit and finding it worked... Working under the assumption that bbedit is something like alpha which shares some key bindings with emacs (as well as some of its philosophy), I'd recommend trying out emacs (or xemacs). Emacs has just enough GUI to let you get by with it until you learn the key bindings. -- David Roundy http://civet.berkeley.edu/droundy/
