I second this request.

FileBox has now become my default file manager and it would be nice to also view and edit text files from it. My default editor is vim, and I don't have any of the editors in the selection list installed.

CepiPerez, could you please add vim to the editor selection as well? Vim for editing a file with full file name "path_to_file_and_filename" the following command can be used (including the Xterm needed for vi):

Code:

osso-xterm "vim filename"

It would also be nice to include "vi" in the editor list, as it comes pre-installed on the N900 -- just replace "vim" by "vi" in the above command for vi.

Would be great to see vim in the FileBox editor list.

Thanks for the development of this fine program!
