thank you for your great ideas....

The features that you mention are not a big deal to code. Long time
ago, mostly, I have already coded sthg like this in the past, but I
have NO windows yet : nwim2.
nwim2 features:
"I think that the only things we have to implement are:
1. Most vim bindings (not all, but most), just altered a bit in the
way they behave.
Done: you can switch to fly mode as well (it has either wordstar or
vim key bindings into the menu config).
2. Fantastic syntax highlighting
Not done yet.
3. Fantastic auto-completion (a small menu appears while you type and
you press tab to accept or ctrl/alt to navigate).
Done.
4. Code folding
Done, it can show you a tab with the section/subsection for IeX for instance.
5. Snippet/template support
Done
6. Documentation while you type"
nope
I have added some other features, such as multi-dictionary, various
sort of panel views, workspace/desktop that popups for various tools,
multi-editing, email/wget tools,... into this nwim2 (which was based
on clitex). I am trying now to implement it to Clidesk, but it is
quite too much work.


I believe that I should start all new.
We could code a layer that has some visual console windows....?
