I run Debian/Unstable on my laptop because I'm a DD and it helps to test all the new software.
The new version of VIM has just been added, and I don't like it. By default it uses it's own copy/paste mechanism and doesn't seem to support the system clipboard. What I want is to have VIM not really know about the system clipboard and just use a middle-button click to paste with my Xterm (Konsole in this case) and have VIM just take the text. Is it possible to do this with the new version of VIM?
What are other good programmers editors? I want something that will preserve white-space so it doesn't generate ridiculous diffs (no converting tabs to spaces or spaces to tabs).
I like geany which is a GU editor.
