are there any IDEs which run in a shell instead of a gui. As i really don't like to use a mouse (except of scrolling, everything is faster for example in firefox using shortcuts).

I really like textual user interfaces (like gdb in tui mode) and it would be nice to have an ide which is fully controlable by keyboard (i'm currently learning emacs but it isn't really designed as an ide i think).

    What languages are you working with? For instance, emacs can be a very effective IDE for some platforms and not so much for others. – jaybee Jul 12 '11 at 12:51

You can use Emacs as an IDE(with some script/package and setup) (take a look at this)

emacs and vim can be - and are - both used as IDEs. I personally use emacs as IDE for PHP.
