Editor Vi

vi (pronounced "vee eye") is an editor you can find at almost every Unix installation. It is initially somewhat hard to get used to, but it has many powerful features. The aim of this tutorial is to get you started using the vi editor. This tutorial assumes no vi experience, so you will first be exposed to the ten most basic commands. These fundamental commands are enough to perform the bulk of your editing needs, and you can expand your vi vocabulary as needed.
