[gps-devel] GPS +/- VIM

Hi Everybody,

As usual after a bigger update of my linux box,
I have waisted some time looking (quite wishfully)
for an IDE that would offer a good level of
integration with VIM. Once again I didn't find
anything satisfactory.

Although, I must say that I am quite impressed
with the current snapshot of GPS (It's my first
encounter of the IDE itself). I seems
to be thought over, functional and somehow
minimalistic at the same time. I do like it.

I played a bit with an external editor options
trying to use vim in xterm or gvim as a custom
editor. It's ok, but far from being integrated.
I have also noticed the "Emacs theme", although
from obvious reasons I wouldn't be able to
appreciate it. (Does it "do Emacs" inside of
the standard editor ?).

OK, my question is then: Would it be difficult
to ha a "VIM theme" ? I mean by this: To have
VIM fully integrated with the native GPS
editor. I'm asking if it's difficult because
GPS seems to be so close to my optimal IDE,
that I might offer some help in implementing
this missing bit in my spare time.
Or maybe someone is already working on it ?
Do you think that combining some bits of
the existing code with gnome VTE would
do the job ?

Best,
Tomek
