Mouse faster than keystrokes, have to throw up the BS flag on that one.  By
the time your hand reaches the mouse I'm done already unless it's a large

As far as the multiple file goes I can grap text from any file on the system
from within vi or even split the windows and edit two and the same time.

VI is better than sex!
