Interface for other editors (was: vi-mode possible?)

[Benoit Cerrina]

Hi,
this is the type of things I was thinking about, some defined interfaces which
an editor would need to implement to interface with KDevelop and a way to
register new editor implementing this interface (a type of plugin), then it
would be up to the people who want a new editor integrated (me for example) to
implement the interface as a wrapper around their editor.  
Also as far as I'm concerned since what I envision means significant
architectural change, it would need to wait until KDevelop 2.
