Re: vi
":x" (Write if necessary and quit). Fewer keystrokes. It's the same as ZZ..I haven't gone back to ":wq" after a fellow engineer showed me that one.

Re: vi
Learning VIM was one of the best moves I ever made - It's not an exaggeration to say that I use it for everything, to the point that one of my first questions when evaluating any editor/software is "does it have vim keybindings?" and if not, "can I *give it *vim keybindings..." I still remember watching Phil show it to my intro to linux class for the first time. I had been a longtime nano user, because, who wanted to (hjkll) around? But the second that he showed us how it *could *work. I was sold. - Thomas Scott | mr.thomas.sc...@gmail.com On Fri, Sep 10, 2021 at 12:08 PM Shaun Anderson via PLUG-discuss < plug-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org> wrote: > People will probably beat this to death, but take some time and go through > the tutorials, and really learn it.

Re: vi
People will probably beat this to death, but take some time and go through the tutorials, and really learn it. The ramp is a bit steep, but it is such an efficient editor. You don't need to learn every esoteric way of doing things, but a dozen or more keys will have you zipping around in no time.

Re: vi
Am 10. Sep, 2021 schwätzte Michael via PLUG-discuss so: moin moin MIchael, how does one save and exit with vi? Carefully. :) vi is a modal editor with editing mode and command mode. To exit cleanly, you need to be in command mode. Hit to make sure you're in command mode, then you can give an exit command, which starts with a colon. :q == simple quit if there have not been changes to the file :wq == write the current changes, then quit :q! == quit and throw away any changes There are other variants you might see in documentation. They're essentially aliases for one of the above. ciao, der.hans -- # https://www.LuftHans.com https://www.PhxLinux.org # Dissent is patriotic.--- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: https://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss

vi VS emacs
To all you emacs fans, Everybody knows that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. For years you have argued and attempted to convince the world that emacs is better than vi(m). All the while, you have secretly been developing a plugin for your beloved emacs that would allow complete vi(m) like control from within your emacs. Well, someone finally slipped. That's right boys, the cat's out of the bag! There's no hiding anymore! With the release of Evil 1.0 ( https://gitorious.org/evil ) you are finally able to fully emulate the *real* power of vi(m) from within your emacs! That's right! All the power, precision, speed and performance of vi(m) has finally come to emacs via the use of the Evil plugin. With this, I guess emacs really *is* the better of the two... ! <...ducks and runs...> --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
