@njsg no, I was asking more on the direction of 'Is there anything already implemented in the direction of that?' as from the comment in the story linked in the question.. It turned out there is, but only for the root directory!

comment Vi vs vim, or, is there any reason why I would ever want to use vi?
Actually, Ubuntu standard installation includes vi and not vim.. Ubuntu is one of the most user friendly distro btw ;-)
