This looks pretty cool - except... modes like in vi are a no-go area; has anyone tried to modify the GUI (key bindings) to make it similar to Emacs or Notepad?
The extra keypress for switching between "i" (inserting text) "ESC" (moving cursor) "i"... would drive me insane (just not used to it, but used to very fast, friction-free typing/editing).
I'm curious, how do you avoid friction between inserting text and editing? Surely moving your hand to the mouse, arrow keys, or Ctrl key for an Emacs keybinding takes longer than pressing "i"?
I'll grant that Esc is further away, but it can be remapped.
