Is there a text editor that is based on editing the code as a syntax tree, rather than as a file separated into lines of text? So rather than going from line to line, you could go from expression to expression, or from statement to statement, or function definition to function definition? I'm looking for something like vi where you have a ton of short key board commands, but they would operate on a syntax tree rather than text, lines, and words.
