On the other hand, what about creating a structure like this, which I use a lot when I program:

void blah () {
    |  <---- have caret here to start entering code
}

In vim (assuming you've typed out the signature already)

{ <Enter> } <Esc> O <Tab>

In most other editors:

{ <Enter> } <Left> <Enter> <Up> <Tab>

Yes, it saves only one key, but remember that the second case also requires that you move your hand away from the home row over to the arrow keys, which is extra inconvenience. Now I had thought that the "insert-line" feature in UltraEdit (Ctrl-Enter) did this, but unfortunately it behaves like <End> <Enter> rather than <Home> <Enter>.

>>220
How do I pipe commands in UltraEdit? I can't find it in the menus, and searching for the word pipe in help doesn't bring up anything useful.

>>222
No, I'm not a "Ricer". And I agree with you that it's retarded to obssess over really obscure editor features. But I still find Vim easier to use than any gui-heavy editor I know of.
