Simple solution. Vim.
Does Lion's Terminal application have support full screen? If so, it might be interesting to use it with Emacs or Vim.

This might sound kind of trivial, but the lack of split panes (and no hope on the horizon) is what finally pushed me over the edge to learning vim. Haven't looked back :)
Ok, this is the wrong place to ask, but when I'm using unix text editors I'm reasonably happy EXCEPT I don't understand how anyone could use a text editor without being able to click to move the insertion point where they want it to be. Furiously leaning on the arrow keys is way too slow. How does one solve this? is there a way to make the terminal accept mouse input? I've mostly only used pico/nano which I understan…
I use MacVim. Keyboard navigation works great for me when moving around small areas, but I use the scrollwheel and clicking all the time for moving around larger areas of a file (and for navigating NERDtree).

You might be interested in Chocolat[1], it's currently in alpha but I can get you an invite if you want [1]: http://chocolatapp.com/
Well, if you're passing out invites... pretty please? I'm currently trying out different editors, not stuck on any particular one.
You'd perhaps have more luck if you had an email address on your profile ;)
Anyway, here's a few invite links for HN:

As noted, you can run vim or emacs in a way where you can mouse where you want to go. In practice, there's usually a way to get to the place you want to be via some other command. For vi, you can usually use /search to get where you want. One of my most-used vi commands that I miss in other editors is f[char]. It moves you to the next instance of [char] on your current line. Things like f= or f( are great for bouncing through a line of source code. I wish textmate (chocolate, sublime, whatever) had a quick keyboard equivalent to that.

#37My app Maximizer can do this dynamically for pretty much any app on your system (including TextMate, but also stuff like Firefox or Spotify). It's SIMBL based, but the code is clean and hopefully open source soon: http://chpwn.com/apps/maximizer.html
I'm using maximizer with TextMate and Chrome. Works pretty well, thanks! The only caveat is that to see the drawer, you have to hide it and show it again.
Chrome has real fullscreen and swipe gestures if you are using the dev build.

Just redeemed #2 on the list, got 1 invite on signup:

#39Coding in full screen? For elite hackers who don't need to test the thing they're coding?
I run my tests from VIM.
You can also use multiple spaces. Fullscreen editor in one. Full screen terminal in another. Fullscreen browser in a third, to defeat the supposedly distractionless environment a fullscreen app does its best to offer you.
