The Union of Vim with KDE

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the god-bless-integration dept.

Philippe Fremy writes "Thomas Capricelli, Mickael Marchand and me are pleased to present the first ever stable version of KVim, finally bringing "the power of VIM with KDE's friendliness". This release contains a port of the standalone editor Vim 6.0 to Qt/KDE (2 and 3) and a KDE KPart Component. The component can currently embed either of GVim or KVim in Konqueror (screenshots), with out-of-process embedding. Further work is required before proper support for KDevelop, KMail and Kate is available, but things are moving forward." As everyone knows, Vim is the best (only?) text editor, and KDE is the best (only?) desktop system. Heh.

    it shows that we can do things under linux that happen in Windows; the OLE model in Windows has allowed things like this for years, and it's about time we had a similar model in the *nix world
    Grrrrrreat so now *nix people can experience the wonders of file corruption and badly configured OLE servers locking out data just like our Windoze buddies. I think Sun can request Microsoft for a donation for destabilising *nix to make way for Microsoft Datacenter

    This is just what Linux needs to succeed on the desktop! So simple, even your grandma could use it!

    I think these guys should start a company aiming to provide KVim as an ASP solution for all the enterprises out there, then go IPO and make a fortune.

    Now could you please XEmacs21 to PalmOS, please?

    GAY/Emacs is the work of Satan. There can be only one text editor, and that will be Notepad. As soon as that's ported to *nix, I will continue using a functional OS*.

    *functional OS, in layman's terms, is an OS that allows you to do work without having a PhD in computer zealotry and/or 3 years to kill searching man-gina pages for the command line options to a stupid program and/or an asshole big enough to drive a truck through because since you spend all your time hitting C-x :w ZZ C-M-f-u-c-k, it's much easier to just have sex with a man.

    Oh yeah, this has nothing to do with tech stocks dragging down PriceLine, so don't even go there.
