Just a natural reaction, or something              I may have told this story before, but I'm very much used to not always being       in edit mode. Often I will find myself trying to "arrow" around with h, j, k,       and l in things like Notepad. Well, one time I was typing a super long email in       Outlook (at work vs personal email where I use vi)... At the end, in order to       save and send the email, I out of habit hit ESC (which brings up an "Are you       sure you want to discard this message?" pop up window with Yes being the       default button), type :wq (which does nothing, because the pop up window is       expecting a click, or y/n, etc), then enter (which presses the default Yes       button).              Why can't Outlook have a 'vi mode'? :/ I think everything should.              ---        þ Synchronet þ TIRED of waiting 2 hours for a taco?
