Vim can do this as an OLE client in Windows, IIRC.

I agree. Actually, what I’ve often wondered is why someone doesn’t take the
guts of editors like xemacs and gvim and make it such that they can be
components (as in just another window pane) in other applications. Let’s
face it, most of what I want from Vim is the editing functions. Surely
that’s completely orthogonal to the other functions of an IDE.

I accept that you’d probably need some kind of bindings somewhere, to allow
the IDE to say, please open this file, save the file, etc. But, surely
that’s a very small effort, compared to trying to shoe-horn the entire set of
key bindings from one editor into another?

Hi !
Anybody tell me how can I use Ruby debugger in
some editors, like Nedit, Vim or Emacs .

I have only that problem on FreeBSD.
I like Nedit, becouse it looks (a bit) like MultiEdit
Debugging from command line ? ;-(
So, I wait FreeRIDE on something else for
more comfortable make my job.

Best regards
Walter
