This also works if you run 'evim' instead of 'vim'. If you run evim
in a console, it can be tricky to get out (there is "no" command mode,
which makes it hard to type ":quit"). There is some magic keystroke,
however, to break out of easy mode and back to normal vim.
(I use (g)vim for everything, except when in the installer and only ae
is available)
