VI
(Visual) Editor
The
vi
is a text editor. It is small, powerful, and standard on most UNIX systems. The
vi
often
frustrates new users with a unique distinction between its two modes:
Command Mode
and
Insert/Overtype Mode
. This distinction, although difficult to become accustomed to for many
users, provides great power and ability to the editor. Insert/Overtype Mode is designed for
inserting text only. All text manipulations and cursor moving should be done from with in
Command Mode.
Entering the vi
# vi
# vi file1 file2 ...
# vi -r file
#Recover file from crash
# vi +string file
#Execute ex command "string"
# vi @rcfile
#Read commands from rcfile
Insert/Overtype Mode
Insert/Overtype Mode is solely for entering text. To leave one of these two modes press the
[ESC]
key. if you wish to enter the
ESC
character or any other control character while in insert
mode: type
[CONTROL]-V
and then the control sequence. The only difference between Insert
Mode and Overtype Mode is that characters are placed in front of the text after the cursor in Insert
Mode; where as existing characters are overwritten in Overtype Mode.
Command Mode
Entering Insert Mode
a -- append text, after the cursor
i -- insert text, before the cursor
R -- enter Overtype Mode
A -- append text, after end of line
I -- insert text, before first non-whitespace character
o -- open new line below cursor in Insert Mode
