Thanks for the answers Jaime.
I'm goin to try the ROX filer and Gvim.
I used to use vim and console only and sometimes QT-PovEditor.

It's seems that the way you work is not as sharp as I thought but
apparently, you have a better control on the result than me (and probably
most of us).
I always need to render a lot of time to get a result not too far from what
I wanted.
