What is your opinion of this package? No, never tried. I never used vim (except for quick vi editing when emacs is not there), so don't know what I am missing :-) If vimpulse can be made into a viper add-on then it would be great. If it has to be a completely separate branch from viper, it is also fine. In both cases, it would need a maintainer. michael
