I have had this happen numerous times! I am a vi[m] freak too! Fortunately, ctrl+z is your friend! I like the idea of having a choice, but I don't think that in all practicality, your idea is a feasible solution (mind you I do mean practicality there). However, I wouldn't put it beyond the capabilities of vim to be able to do something like this. I bet there would be a way to write a script or something where you could use vim to submit your writeup for you. Then you wouldn't have to even touch the windows box for anything. *shrug* dunno. That would be cool though! If I had more time, I would play with that idea. As it is, I am head deep in projects.
