Sorry if I sounded like I'm bashing vi. As I stated in my previous post,
the primary reason
of avoiding an ssh and then a vi is simply because of the slow network, the
response time of
typing is quite slow (Sometimes the characters would appear in the screen after
a second)
In fairness, I'm not as familiar with vi as compare to vim hence I'm more
productive using
vim. I'm used to certain features of vim such as CTRL-n "auto-complete"
feature (good for
programming), I believe this is not the ESC-ESC auto-complete in ksh; but I'll
check=)
I don't mind editing scripts in vi, but for large scripts (500+ lines) I
prefer to use vim.
Regards,
