What modal editors are available aside from vi/vim? [closed]

Tags:

vim

vi

editor

Another question asked why there are so few non-vi modal editors. A few of the comments in that question mentioned other modal editors in passing, but I think that it would be useful to develop a more comprehensive list. Searching for this information on Google is difficult, as vim-related information tends to drown out everything else.

A few items to get things rolling:

  • Divascheme (From the previously mentioned question)
  • Ed (According to this)

There have been many Non-vi modal editors over the years. Many of them tied to a single operating system.

WordStar, edlin, and ISPF come to mind. Also EDIT from the HDOS system. There are probably at least a dozen others named EDIT or it's variants.
