Hi,

I’ve played with vim’s features, including its ruby scripting  
capabilities, and got a little proof of concept running to edit  
Radiant pages, layouts, snippets directly from vim. It’s currently in  
a pre-alpha, really proof of concept stage, but I could use help and  
suggestions to develop it further.

Currently you can open and write already existing content. For example

:edit radiant/pages/Home\ Page/First\ Post/body

will let you edit the body part of the First Post, which is located  
under the Home Page.  
One problem I need to fix is that newlines are displayed as ^@. Anyone  
know how I can correct that? (I posted a question on the vim mailing  
list, waiting for an answer)

If you want to give it a try, more info and download available at

Does this a local Radiant instance or a remote one via the web? Either  
way, very interesting work.

Why is it using titles? Why not slugs?
