  Description     : Gnome-vim is a Bonobo component which embeds VIM and
		    implements (part of) the same interface as the
		    GtkHTML component.

[From the web site]

Gnome-vim is a Bonobo component which embeds VIM and implements (part
of) the same interface as the GtkHTML component. This makes it possible
to use VIM in Evolution, instead of the default HTML editor.  

How does it work?

Gnome-vim uses the zvt widget (terminal), and runs a copy of vim inside
of that. It implements many of the methods in the GtkHTML interface by
sending keystrokes to the embedded vim, to cause it to load and save
files, jump to specific parts of the document, etc. Yes, it's a hack. :)

Does it work?

Gnome-vim doesn't yet implement the full interface; many of the methods
are no-ops. However, I've implemented enough that it works quite well
with Evolution, and I use it daily. I haven't implemented the
Bonobo::PersistFile yet, so you can't do "File->Save" or "File->Save as"
from the composer menu and have it work. Sending messages, replying,
forwarding, using signatures, saving as drafts and then re-editing, etc.
all work.

I haven't tested gnome-vim with programs other than Evolution, because
I'm not aware of other programs which make use of the GtkHTML component.

[I'd love to see this in Debian if it ever gets working.]

Just a lack of information on my part. I unmerged and closed those bugs
because they are duplicates of older ITP/RFPs and do not add any info to
them. They were just sitting there making the overloaded wnpp bug list
even harder to browse through. The originals are still open, though
(obviously :-)
I didn't cc: all closed bugs because there were so many, though I
probably still should have.


Regards,

Filip
