> Vim (Vi IMproved), a command-line text editor, provides several modes for different kinds of text manipulation.
|
|
> Pressing `i` enters edit mode. `<Esc>` goes back to normal mode, which doesn't allow regular text insertion.
|
|
> More information: <https://www.vim.org>.

|
- Open a file:
|
|
|
|
`vim {{path/to/file}}`
|
|
|
|
- View Vim's help manual:
|
|
|
|
`:help<Enter>`
|
|
|
|
- Save a file:
|
|
|
|
`:write<Enter>`
|
|
|
|
- Quit without saving:
|
|

|
`:quit!<Enter>`
|
|
|
|
- Open a file at a specified line number:
|

|
- Undo the last operation:

|
`/{{search_pattern}}<Enter>`
