vim has most of the features you're asking for:
- Autoindent: :set smartindent will turn it on
- Block cut and paste: there are SEVERAL command sequences for this. You could:
- position the cursor at the start of the block press ma (set a mark named a at this line)
- move to some other line press y'a (yank / copy from this line to mark a) or d'a (delete / cut from this line to mark a)
- then move to the line you want insert those copied or cut lines and press p (paste).
as for between other apps, copy or cutting goes to the windows clipboard and mouse highlighting will copy to the X buffer.
- gvim supports this:
- CTRL-W N splits the current window horizontally. (think: Control Window New)
- CTRL-W J moves the focus to the window below
- CTRL-W K moves the focus to the window above
- :q (or another exit command) will close the current window
- you can cut / paste between any of the windows
- Jump to specific line number:
- :(number)
- :.+10 ten lines below the current one
- :$ last line of the file
- :$-5 5 lines before last line of file
- Umm...regex find and replace. hello? :) you can also have it prompt per each replacment by adding c after the closing / on the replacement
A very large part of the appeal for me is that my hands never leave the home keys regardless of the task I'm performing. I even mapped the escape key to ALT so that I didn't have to reach for it.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
