My favorite text editor is Vim, but, sometimes, I have to use slow ssh connexions with ping >= 1000 ms.

I recently had the idea to enable icrln, icanon, echo, echoe, echok on the local terminal, and disable echo on the remote terminal. Now, I've client-side basic line editing capabilities. This isn't nice with visual editors, since chars must explicitly be sent with CTRL+D. But, line-based editors become useful!
And that's great for shell interaction, which is what I was looking for.

ed & ex FTW!

You've resurrected telnet line mode within ssh.
