So - I use vim as my text editor. The learning curve is a bit steep at first, but past a certain point, it's incredibly efficient and fun. At work, I use it through Cygwin. I wanted to be able to use vim to edit textareas in firefox. There are a few solutions out there if you google it, but most involve gvim (the windowed version of vim, which I don't use). I found that I could configure the it's all text firefox extension with the path to my cygwin vim (C:\cygwin\bin\vim.exe) - and it works beautifully, just opens vim in a command window. [/geekery]

I found this today on del.icio.us/popular : Launchy Anyone tried it? I tried Colibri for a while, but didn't quite do it. I settled on SlickRun - you have to pre configure all your shortcuts tho... All of those are for my work PC. I use a MAC at home, and it's pretty hard to compete with quicksilver

The group image is my work machine running Cygwin through Console. It's the latter that allows transparency (and tabs), so that's my desktop image showing through.

linux, cygwin, vim/emacs, terminal or cmd.exe user? Or are you just a keyboard short-cut master? It's the same ethic.
