Good evening,

I am just wondering that there isn't any emacs (http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/) port to MorphOS.
How big would be the effort to port current emacs release to MorphOS
(dependencies: lisp, gtk3+ and libxml)?

It would be very cool to have emacs on MorphOS because it is a very powerful and wide spreaded editor
(and much more).

Anybody else is missing emacs?

I miss rather vim, than emacs!
( To start the usual editor war ;) )

To be serious, I am delighted with scribble. There are some features, what I miss, but... it's ok.

There's nothing preventing you from downloading the SDK, vim sources and building it - it should be straightforward.

What features?

jacadcaps,

Vim doesn't compile on MOS, because something is missing... (some file descriptor handling, as I remember).

Little hijack ;) What I miss are recordable macros. I just use those all the time with CED and that's why I usually still go for CED instead any other editor. Macros just make it so easy to make tens of modifications to big or multiple files. And to add your own functionality to editor, although I mostly use them per case. Just hit the record button and do things (not just normal editing, but keyboard shortcuts too (search, save etc)) you want to be repeated unlimited times.

Double post...

Well... it's usually easy to add missing stuff :)

Also, did you try http://aminet.net/package/text/edit/vim60bin ?

@jacadcaps:

Vim6 is missing some features so I haven't tried.
By the way, I'm mainly happy with Scribble. Especially when opening/editing many files simultanously. ;)
There are some minor flaws - I can't remember exactly what they are - but it is a good editor. ;)
