[dev] JOE editor was: a little bit of vi+zsh magic

Today I was forced to use the joe editor for java.
In the search-and-replace dialog (see s in ed) joe seemed to change my
input to upper case automatically. Eventually I found out it was just
auto-completion. If you don't want auto-completion you can add rare
characters and delete them when you are ready.
Perhaps I should hang myself...
