Best Ruby editor for Windows with VI commands

Question

I am looking for a good ruby editor that supports VI commands. I have been using gvim but it would be nice to have an IDE that helps me navigate between files. Any suggestions?

I realize there is a similar question http://stackoverflow.com/questions/172168/ruby-on-rails-editor-for-windows however it doesn't address VI specific editors.

Answer 1

You don't have to give up your favourite editor. Navigation between files can be done inside Vim with the NERD tree plugin:

Kate has VIM mode. It is part of KDE, but since 4.0 KDE may be installed on Windows. Beware that installer will install tons of dependencies for you...
