I once saw a car with a vanity plate: CTRL K D
(Wordstar for save and exit)
Can EMACS be expanded enough to emulate VI?
Can VI be expanded enough to emulate EMACS?
About 3 decades ago, there was some linguistic analysis of effects on
writing style with some editors.
There were some very simplistic conclusions, such as that small screen
(number of characters/lines, NOT square footage) produced choppier
writing, with more repetitions, due to not seeing both paragraphs at the
same time.
It really should be studied in depth, including expanding the algorithms
of Flesch-Kincaid, SMOG, Coleman-Liau, ARI, Linser Write Formula,
phrase repetition analysis, etc.
