    I can't bring myself to agree with you, there. It seems most other software both Windows and Linux has moved on to using ALT- and CTRL- hotkeys (possibl

    That's because keyboards have so many more keys and characters these days! ;)

    Na, but what could it hurt to just have the option, ya know?

    Agreed there, however, it takes a lifetime to try and remember all of vi(m)'s key combinations. Either that, or you're constantly looking at the manpage or help screens. ;)

    Does Outlook allow you to use an external editor of any kind? If so, you may be able to whip up something that opens up vim (I'm fairly certain it's available for Windows, at least).

    Other than that, options are always nice to have.. and my reply wasn't meant to mean "no, you shouldn't be able to do that", but rather "I wouldn't want that" and it came out wrong (big difference, I know).

    Regards,
