aee is a text editor that is intended to be usable with little or no instruction. It provides both a terminal (curses based) interface and native X-Windows interface (in which case the executable is called xae). Features include pop-up menus, journalling (to recover from system crash or loss of connection), cut-and-paste, multiple buffers (associated with files or not), and much more.
cutview detects changes in the contents of the current selection or cutbuffer0 and stores them in a buffer, which also displays the contents on the screen. The user can edit or print the contents of a buffer from a menu. The contents of a buffer can also be locked so that the contents persist across X sessions. cutview mirrors cutbuffer0 to the selection, and vice-versa, enabling some tools which don't use selections, e.g., VNC to work.
