I deleted windows, and don't really want to use windows stuff.  
I am considering writing an editor that does similar things to 
the POV editor for windows, ie, lets you mark text by holding 
down the shift key while moving the arrow keys.  If I do it it
won't be GUI, but will run in a terminal window, and will have 
a hotkey that lets you render the file that's currently open.

Vi and emax are an apsilute pig, cooledit is too bulky and it's 
GUI is a bit horrible, (no straight forward exit option on the 
menus etc), any other editors I've looked at don't have the Shift
marking facility or are variations on vi.  Why isn't there a decent
editor for Unix that has these simple features?
