4coder/site/source_material/feature_list.txt

This page is meant to provide a list of available features for anyone trying to decide whether 4coder is the right editor for them.  If a feature is missing here you should check out the \LINK_BEGIN{roadmap.html} roadmap \LINK_END page to see what is coming in the future.  If the feature you want is on neither, you should contact \CODE_STYLE{editor@4coder.net}.

\SECTION{Transition From Emacs}
4coder's current setup and editing paradigm is modeled after emacs, so it is very natural to transition to 4coder from emacs for many users.  4coder customization is quite different from emacs though, so anyone who wants to keep their current keybinds will have to take the time to rewrite the keybinding code.  Once the initial transition is done, any user who prefers C++ to Lisp will have a much better time in their 4coder configuration code.

\SECTION{Transition From Vim}
Many vim users are resistant to any transition because of how unique the vim editing paradigm is.  For them the
