vibe, a line-editor with vi-compatible keystrokes

[Ari Moisio]

Hi

But  if the screen reader and ncurses do not fit together would it be 
better to fix  one screen reader than re-invent the wheel N times?

My screen reader reads  the /dev/vcsa device to find out what is in the 
screen and even when it reads directly output to the screen  it ignores 
all control and cursor movement sequences.

No  other problems than when the screen is updated  it reads sometimes the 
updated line instead of cursor line.
