Description brandon willard CLA 2012-10-12 19:46:33 EDT 
I am a vim user who finds it somewhat frustrating to use the standard text editing controls and have found that the Vrapper plugin works very well for me.  However, the "Display" window functionality is also very useful, but Vrapper will not work work in editors that are not children of AbstractTextEditor.  Is it possible to change that?

Additionally, Vrapper works with scrapbook pages, but I was not able to get scrapbooks to use the debugged JVM.  If that's possible, then it might be better.
