Vim is a greatly improved version of the good old UNIX editor Vi. Many new
|
|
features have been added: multi-level undo, syntax highlighting, command line
|
|
history, on-line help, spell checking, filename completion, block operations,
|
|
script language, etc. There is also a Graphical User Interface (GUI) available.
|
|
Still, Vi compatibility is maintained, those who have Vi "in the fingers" will
|
|
feel at home. See runtime/doc/vi_diff.txt for differences with Vi.
|
|
|
|
This editor is very useful for editing programs and other plain text files. All
|
|
commands are given with normal keyboard characters, so those who can type with
|
|
ten fingers can work very fast. Additionally, function keys can be mapped to
|
|
commands by the user, and the mouse can be used.
|
|
