I have used VI on Unix for over 30 years and now have to use it in Windows where it works much differently. If I open gVim 9.0 in a GUI session, how do I open another file without having to go to the top with my mouse and select File, Open? At the command level I can just :vi "filename", but I've been having issues working with VI at the command level - maybe be because it didn't like that I made the window larger as people have just mentioned.
