[implementations-list] Whether Vimpulse may intentionally work differently than Vim (was: [PATCH] Vimpulse: vi* and va* ...)

I always tried to make sure Vimpulse worked as much like Vim as possible. If somebody thought Vim behavior could be improved, then I wanted them to email the Vim mailing list and get the change made in Vim. Once the change was made in Vim, then the same change could be made in Vimpulse. This would provide two advantages. * People who use both Vim and Vimpulse could use the same keys in both. * It would be possible to one day copy and paste from the Vim documentation into the Vimpulse documentation, maybe by an automated Vimpulse .txt-format-help-file-generation script. But now that Alessandro is maintainer, it is his choice whether to continue to enforce this policy or not.

That's why I put the non-vim stuff in a separate patch. Take it only if you like it. IMHO Vim is there to be superseded, not just imitated, but that's only MHO ;-) Cheers, -- José A. Romero L. escherdragon at gmail.com "The opposite of war is not peace, it's creation." (Jonathan Larson)
