I can hit tab and shift/tab too and it puts in spaces for me.

Uhhhm, I hit the tab button also and it does the right thing (namely inserts 4 spaces). Also, when I hit enter it auto tabs.

I don't use an IDE. I use JOE. It's a terminal based editor. Works the same whether I'm local or remote. The nice thing about linux is how easy it is to make things work the way you want. My browser source viewer links to a PHP wrapper script that pops up a gnome-terminal with the specification to load the JOE editor on the page source. My default editor in linux is JOE. It just works. Plain, simple, 100% keyboard, keystroke macros, etc, etc. I love it. You probably won't :)

couldn't be further from the truth! sounds perfect - I spend most of my life in putty anyways, generally using nano to "type". When

working I click an icon on my taskbar, it opens three terminals in my favourite layout. I usually use one to edit HTML, one to edit whatever module I'm working on, and another for whatever else needs to be done (CVS commits, CVS updates, SSH, etc).

see I've only recently started using versioning software all the time, I'm currenly svn'ing, how does CVS weight up against it? I use a workspace to the right of

my dev workspace in which I load my browser for checking layout and JavaScript etc. To the left I have a workspace where I keep a tails on my log files. I rarely tab through more than 3 windows in a workspace and I rarely use the mouse. Cheers, Rob.

snap, keyboard for 99% of things, I seem to have my left hand glued around ctrl/shift/tab/z/x/c/v/q cheers for giving away some of your set up, I'm going to give joe a try!
