[gedit-list] Improved Vim bindings plugin and API request

["Joseph Method" <tristil gmail com>]

Just a note that the ViGedit plugin has been much improved. It now
supports enough essential vim-like features and keybindings that I'm
now able to use it as my main editor. The plugin also has a new
homepage (https://launchpad.net/vigedit) and can be downloaded from
this bzr branch:
https://code.launchpad.net/~tristil/vigedit/main-method. Thanks goes
to Trond Danielsen for a good foundation (also thanks to Ian McCracken
for some code).

While I was hacking on this, I ran into a few places where I wished
the api for developers was friendlier. I filed a bug here
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=524218 , but I wonder if it
would be good to discuss on the list what API improvements would be
most useful to plugin developers. My main requests would be to expose
the editor's "functions" (search next, save as) etc. and to provide a
simple way to grab the cursor iter (I use
doc.get_iter_at_mark(doc.get_mark('insert')) ), also a way to check
installed plugins.
