However, I still use emacs a lot and I don't plan on leaving it, since I have most of my writings (blog post drafts, notes, todo lists (thanks orgmode!)) there. I do, however, want to start using only one navigation model, and the VIM one is the logical choice for me right now. Luckily emacs has Viper-mode, but when I activate it on emacs 23, it just renders emacs so slow to point I can't really use it. Each keystroke takes about 600ms to render to screen, and if I start typing fast, it just hangs and takes a few seconds to show the whole text. Emacs version: GNU Emacs 23.2.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin, NS apple-appkit-1038.29) OSX Snow Leopard. Any ideas of what's going on and how to fix it? Thanks in advance, Marcelo.
