Nothing novel I'm afraid, I'm still waiting for that idea, it's a
stripped down vi clone and I'm planning on having the majority of the
commands filter though external programs, like :s would use sed and so
on. I'm busy with exams at the moment and I managed to brick the curses
stuff, so I'd rather not upload until I've got it back together.

Guessing stdio buffering, I tried stuff like setbuf(stdin, NULL), but it
was having none of it. I suppose you could drop to read(fileno(..)) but
.. well.. I'm sure fread() shouldn't be doing that in the first place.

I'm not sure whether moving up a directory will always work, what if
you're in $HOME and do
rm -r /tmp/dir1 ./dir2
(assuming /tmp/dir1 isn't empty, causing the chdir) it'll change to
/tmp/dir1, remove entries in there, move up to /tmp, remove dir1, then
attempt to remove dir2 (i.e. /tmp/dir2) when you actually mean
$HOME/dir2.

Haha, good luck with your exams if you keep that up!

5K? Why has no one mentioned this before?!

Or if you don't have the time for hardware:
