Request for comments:
Users and fanatics of Emacs, vim, Sublime, Textmate, Github Atom and other such text editors, I would like to know what are your ten or twenty most loved features and keyboard shortcuts in your respective text editors.
I'm working on hot-editing hypertext that keeps links updated (like Xanadu, but read/write) and I would like it to be a tool that designers, coders, and content creators feel at home with. (not an Office clone like Google Docs)
Background: New tooling is really needed to achieve this, the effort will be less effective if I try to build on top of existing text editors without a significant investment writing extensions for every single one of them. (something beyond my scope and capabilities as a one-man show)
My hope is that showing how it can be done (not telling), others will feel inspired to borrow ideas and implement them on their editors in years to come.
Further background:
If you are in control of your hypertext graphs, and you are in charge of authorising who gets to use your hyperlinking footprint and when, you are empowered to reject (or accept) whatever Google and other snooping parties are able to infer about your personal life, activities, and other things that are none of their business.
