I guess the real question should be, HOW to implement the ability to
interface
with various 'modes'. It would be nice to be integrate an exterior editor
 I choose
emacs, though), but at the moment, I use both emacs and the kdevelop editor,
and am happy and comfortable, except that I have to 'tell' kdevelop that I
have
changed a file.
    I know that for VC++, someone wrote a dll that works to integrate emacs
with that editor. But it has an 'add-in' feature existing for such things.
