Visual Editor


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vi

I love this editor. Many do not like it because of the large learning curve. It is well worth the time and effort need to learn it. It is very powerful and will save a lot of time in the end. I can do many things that standard editor can not do...like regular expressions, pairing brackets/parenthesis, etc, etc.

Use "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" to practice your typing with VI.

Some of my favorite commands are below: Move the cursor's line to the top of the editor

  • z <enter>

Jump to opening/closing parenthesis

  •  %

Delete word

  • dw

Yank/copy word

  • yw

Paste before

  • P

Paste after

  • p
