Im more of a nano main aidanjt

There are some features I liked when i last used vim but nano just seems easier

Yeah, ViM requires that you 'unlearn' text editing concepts you've become accustomed to, but it's extremely efficent when you do get used to it.

ali, thank you for posting. i especially appreciate that you signed up to the forum just to let me know about that text editor. i will definitely try out that trial version. (kopite, thanks for linking)

gViM

Is this one "Vi-like"? I'm not sure what it's called, but i think the word might be a "stateless" text editor? I have used vi, vim, and nano on linux and no offense meant to the text editors themselves, but I was to slow in them to be even reasonably efficient at writing anything.

I understand that without a mouse, this "Vi-like" editors are the best and fastest way to write text files, but I do have a mouse, and I prefer to take advantage of it

both gVim and Vim have X11 mouse integtration. The windows port of gVim should support windows clipboard integration also.

Notepad ++ works well.
